“If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹”
“Regina was absolutely amazing- our Tulip loved her and she was so attentive to all the instructions we left. She is a gem amongst Rover pet sitters. I would highly highly recommend her to anyone that is going away and want peace of mind about their beloved pets and home.”
About: Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and other animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work part-time at the BGCA, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends from 8 AM to 10 PM and weekdays from 4 PM to 10 PM (with some exceptions on weekdays). Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or spending more time with your furry friend, I’m flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I am caring for pets at my home, I have a fenced yard with a gated lanai where your pets can safely run around. I also have two friendly dogs who can be separated from yours if needed. They love to play and would make great companions if your pet enjoys socializing.

About: Working part of Pet Care has been incredibly of joy. Pets bring happiness to our home. Patience & kindness always works best. Pets are always welcomed and part of our family. Specifically the attention they love, running around the backyard & sun bathe & play with toys keeps them active and happy overall. Friends and family rely trustworthy on my skills over 6 years of experience. I dedicate my time as full - time on Pet Care. It’s my biggest passion and works best for me as my daily & weekly routine. My community in where I live is gated, & my sweet home is based on fenced back yard which works best during pet care. Keeps all pets safe at all times even though they are always supervised by me. Never left alone.
“Brooke has been a huge help during our travels! We have automated feeders and a Litter-Robot, and Brooke not only shared pictures of our pets but also pictures showing that all of our automated devices are working properly! It a huge relief when we have to leave our cat (who doesn’t travel well), even though we take our pups.”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life! Growing up with a Lab meant lots of playtime and lots of fur! I now own a puppy Poochon!

I’m available throughout the day because I am a teacher during the school year and I’m off in the Summer! Whatever job you need I can help anytime between 9am-9pm.

I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alva
Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alva choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
