“Suzanne’s very kind and gave lots of pictures and information about my sweet boy. He is definitely a wild puppy and she spent time with him and cared for him well. I felt confident leaving him in her care and will book again for sure!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
About: Hello! My name is Hannah, I, have worked with dogs and cats for 5 years now, 3 years as a manager at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, the only reason i left was to pursue my career (a hairstylist ) but now on my off days i miss taking care of dogs and cats 😁. I love animals so much, I have owned animals as well. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them and I keep an eye on them to make sure they are okay. I have taken care of many dogs in all different stages of life. I have a soft heart for furry friends and want my clients to feel comfortable and relaxed knowing that I am there to watch their dogs. I am a great communicator as well. I have also rescued a puppy when i was in a foreign country and took him to a humane society. My boyfriend has a German Shepard andI work with a lot of German Shepard’s, huskies as well as tiny dogs like chihuahuas, spaniel mixes etc If you are also in need of a stylist 👀 (HannahAbbyHair) I’m a hairstylist, some weeks are busy some aren’t. My schedule currently that works is Monday-Thursday available. But you can always message me and work something out I’m very flexible!! I enjoy being goofy and having fun while also making sure they know the limits and guidelines! I worked at a daycare and would manage 15-30 dogs at a time so you learn the ropes pretty quick! I love cats as well but i don’t pressure them for attention. If they want to they will is my logic (:
“Remington was excellent. Communication lines were clear and open. And I could tell from the photos sent that my dog--who does not make friends easily-- was completely at ease. If my job brings me back this way, Remington will be high on my list of petsitters to contact.”

About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow instructions carefully and strive to create a calm and secure environment for your pets.

“Gary is awesome! Even during the meet and greet I felt safe with him dropping in my home to check on Bella. He kept me up to date on how things were going with plenty of pictures and a video and ensured that other directions were followed such as closing the blinds and leaving a certain light on. I will definitely be using Gary again!”

“Adriana demonstrated professionalism in her punctuality and communication. She followed our instructions for Mickey and Katniss care while we were out of town, ensuring our cat was well-fed and their litter boxes were clean. She kept us informed with regular updates, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, our experience with Adriana was very positive, and we’d gladly recommend her services to other cat owners.”

I live on a farm, so I’m used to being around animals, and I’m comfortable walking dogs of all breeds and sizes.

“Lori is amazing! She is super sweet and super understanding. She did wonderful taking great care of my fur babies while away and messaged me letting me know how they are with pictures. One of my fur babies is timid with new people but she was able to get her very comfortable quickly. They are my babies so leaving them was so hard but she made me feel so much better about the whole process. Definitely recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in the future.”

Steph is amazing! Took excellent care of our precious dog and even our home! She will be our Pet Sitter for life and we feel so lucky to have someone that lives in the same area as well. We had bad weather on our trip away while having bad weather at home too! Steph went out of her way to make sure our house could fear the storm as well as keeping Odette very calm and peaceful during her visits. I highly recommend her.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alvarado stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
