About: To this day I am shocked by and grateful for how much love and joy our pets, Ovie and Ashe, bring into our home. I know that being away from them is never easy, so it is my goal to provide your pet with the care and adventure they expect, and to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding throughout the week and look forward to excuse for some more time outdoors. I have a nice yard on a quiet street. While our yard is unfenced, your fur-friend will never be unsupervised. Inside our home we have two friendly dogs to keep yours entertained. We love being outside and have nearby walking paths and trails accessible for tons of sights, sounds, and smells!

About: Lifelong pet lover & rescue dog mom! My affection for animals began at a young age. There were always dogs and cats in my home. As an adult, I have always had a dog I have provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care for family, friends, and private clients’ pets for decades. I'm comfortable with shy dogs, rescues, and seniors that need a little extra TLC. My priority is to make your furry family member feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide walks and drop-in visits between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m daily. For requests outside of my regular hours, additional fees may apply. Same-day appointments may be available. I follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications, I provide attentive and individualized care.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. 15 years ago my mom was diagnosed with dementia and I did not want my mom going into a nursing home. So I adopted little Rico and moved us all into a retirement community where they both stayed in our home until their last days. I had them both for 12 years and as you can see they were attached to each other. I lost them both three years ago and now I'm fostering, taking care of neighbors dogs in my community and joining the Rover family. I will take care of your fur babies with the same love and care as I took care of my mom and little Rico just as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and can easily be changed around to accommodate your needs. I try to facilitate my clients even in emergency situations. I have a Bark and Breakfast in my home that is secure and full of toys if your fur baby needs to be away from home for awhile.

“Anton was fabulous with our pup. It had been a while since our family used Rover, I am so happy that we found him! He did several walks and check-ins for our dog while we were away. I loved the Rover card feature so we could see where our dog walked, what she did, and a photo! We had peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands.”

About: I was the primary caregiver of my late maltese, Papi, for 10 years after we rescued him. He had a lot of health issues and I am very comfortable with medication distribution and senior care. He also had anxiety so I am sensitive to that. Since his passing, I regularly care for my sister’s pitbull. I also helped raise my other sister’s two puppies and taught them how to socialise at the dog park! I love hiking with dogs, playing fetch, and cuddling up on the couch! I currently work Tuesdays through Thursdays. This means that for Friday through Mondays I am home all day! I have a great nature trail near my house where I like to walk and would be happy to bring your fur baby with me! I have no pets and live with my father who also loves dogs! We have a big fenced in backyard and I am comfortable with letting dogs sleep in bed with me. Happy to crate as well.

About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾

As in the past, Cathy has given our cats everything they could ask for while we were away -- they're happy, well-fed, kept clean and petted -- and we appreciate the suggestions she has (she knows a lot about cats!) and the pictures she sends each day. She has done a wonderful job each time she's sat for Cleo and Sammie!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Anscroft

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
