About: Hi! I go by Alex, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own: Mako (the 9-year-old Pomeranian pictured on my profile), Sammy (a 13-year-old Terrier mix, not pictured), and Pumpkin (a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur Pug mix, not pictured), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet’s care, safety, and daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, usually the smaller to medium sizes, and all energy levels, whether they need long walks, structured feeding schedules, or simply extra attention and companionship while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved from the moment we meet. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for just like they would any day at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I slightly work part-time, but I can usually always fit a walk or some type of care in, one way or another. Just lemme know! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walking guidelines, and any special preferences your pet may have. I maintain a calm, clean, and attentive environment so pets feel secure and stress-free while in my care. I also believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident.
About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school and want to help more people around my neighborhood and other communities with dog care. I’ve helped with a handful of different types of dogs and aside from dog care love helping out however I can. I’m currently working part time as security for special events. I am also enrolled in college online, but would like to take advantage of my free time helping others. I have a fenced yard and a dog husky mix of my own but she is extremely friendly even towards puppies, playful, or dogs that can be aggressive sometimes. I also have a garage in my backyard thats been converted to a room for me and the dogs I watch overnight or on weekends for friends or family. Aside from somewhere comfortable to sleep I make sure the dogs go on walks, get play time in the yard, and are hydrated/fed. I also have an excessive amount of toys for each dog to choose from during their stay along with a large crate in the yard that can also be moved into the back room for dogs that need to be crated.
“Mikayla was great with Bubba. She was on time. She sent us lots of photos with updates. Our house was just as clean when she left as when she arrived. We came home to a happy dog. It’s obvious she is good with animals. Bubba loved her.”
“Mariah did an outstanding job house sitting for me for my puppy Doberman that can be a handful to most people. Her attentiveness and care towards my dog was like if it was her own. Followed all instructions provided well and an excellent timely communicator. Will definitely book her again in the future should I need the services. Extremely satisfied with the overall experience!!”
“Thank this lady for taking good care of my fur babies. I didnt even have to think about anything. She took care of it all and sent me Pictures and updates. Great job”
“We couldn’t ask for a better pet parent substitute than Courtney. She is extremely friendly, courteous and loving. We know that we don’t have to worry about our pets when we are away because she will take excellent care of them. Courtney has done daycare and overnight stays in our home and we know everything will be taken care of, so that we can enjoy our time away.”
About: I have experience with pets from young to seniors , from cats to dogs of small and large breeds . I've trained, walked, played and administered different medications as needed as well I have a very flexible schedule and can work with you ! I respond quickly and am available for weekdays to weekends as well . From apartments to houses I'm comfortable coming to provide a loving experience for your baby and make sure they get the care and safety they need .
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. I was a dog mom to my Chihuahua, Thunder, for 16 wonderful years, raising her from a puppy through her senior years until it was time to say goodbye. Caring for her taught me patience, compassion, and how to support dogs through every stage of life. I also worked at PetSmart in Doggy Day Camp for about 10 months, where I supervised dogs of all sizes, monitored group play, recognized body language, and helped maintain a safe, positive environment. This experience gave me confidence handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication, as well as supporting dogs with vision loss, herniated discs, and canine cognitive dysfunction (doggy dementia). Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants company and affection, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I always do my best to work with each pet parent’s schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I stay aware of my surroundings during walks and pay close attention to each dog’s body language and behavior. My experience working in PetSmart’s Doggy Day Camp taught me how to recognize signs of stress, fear, or reactivity in dogs, as well as how to avoid potentially unsafe situations. I also pay attention to other people and animals we may encounter to help ensure every walk is safe and enjoyable. During drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’m fully present during my visits and prioritize caring for your pet over distractions like my phone.

Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being is my top concern."
“Amanda was prompt with her responses and kept us up to date on all the happenings while house sitting with our 2 dogs and 3 cats so that we could go away for the weekend without worrying about them. House was in good order when we returned and pups were chill and content. Much appreciated!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Donelle did a great job with our girls! Our older Chihuahua is basically afraid of everything & even more so the worse her eyesight gets. Our Baja blend is super loving but very wary of people she doesn’t know. We went with drop-ins to make it less stressful for the girls & less of a drag for the sitter. Donelle rocked it! Donelle earned Stella’s trust & eventually let her give her lots of pets & playing with the ball. Donelle accommodated Rita as best she could & kept her clean & cared for in her indoor/outdoor crate setup. She tidied up the house & made sure it was nice for our return home. Thanks Donelle!
Gianna was a wonderful sitter for my babies! She paid attention to detail and left everything neat and tidy. Very easy to get ahold of and a great communicator. When I got back, all my pets were happy and calm which says a lot about how they were taken care of while I away. Highly recommend!
We had the best experience with Rachel! She was kind enough to meet our boys beforehand, which meant a lot since they can be a little wild and we were nervous leaving them for the first time in five years. They were instantly calm and completely loved her. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even cleaned up the backyard (which we did not expect at all!) and remembered from our meet and greet to check if Benny had any medications after his vet appointment. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave our boys. They clearly adore her, and we will definitely be requesting her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Apple Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Apple Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Apple Valley 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!
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
