“Dominique did a fantastic job. She kept the litter boxes clean, cleaned up when one of the cats vomited on the rug, kept them fed, and spent time with them each day. She also ensured there food dishes were clean and rinsed out and refilled their water dishes regularly. I came home to happy and healthy cats. I highly recommend Dominique.”

About: I've had taken care of animals for over 20 plus years. Im also a certified vet assistant as well. Love all animals and would love to meet yours! Im currently unemployed so I would be able to do anytime of the day. I do have 2 chihuahuas of my own as well that I absolutely adore. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard at my home but I do take my dogs out regularly on leash. But they also have free roam of the entire house.

About: My experience as a dog sitter has begun sitting in the homes of dear friends – and this has taught me that I love caring for pets in their homes and seeing to it that they are well cared for while they “parents” are away. I currently work full-time for the Marine Corps Monday through Friday 7 AM to 4 PM, but I can come to your home during my lunch break for potty breaks as required. Weekends of course I am totally available. I will care for your pets in your home where they feel comfortable and safe. As I have begun my pet care experiences in the homes of dear friends I can assure you that I will treat your home as you would like it to be cared for when you are away.

About: I have experience with animals who require both physical and medical challenges. I have nearly 15 years of experience with dog boarding in my home. I'm currently working part time (4 hours a day) so I can still care for your animal needs in my home with no problem. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play freely but is still protected. My home is calm and quiet so your animals will feel safe.

About: I’ve been working with pets ever since I was 12 walking them feeding them and taking care of them. I love taking care of pets no matter if it’s cats or dogs I love them all. I am currently working part-time and also a part-time student but I love being outside and going on walks with dogs and taking care of cats just by stopping. I have a pretty decent backyard that is fully gated off and I have two amazing and playful dogs yo-yo and Scooby. They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.

We’ve used Paula multiple times now, and we honestly wouldn’t think of looking for anyone else. She has become someone we completely trust with our dogs, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless when we’re away. Paula is incredibly hardworking, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She takes the time to make sure she understands every detail of their care and never hesitates to double-check something or ask questions. We really appreciate that about her—it shows how seriously she takes what she does and how important it is to her to do an excellent job. Most importantly, we know our dogs are in wonderful hands with Paula. We never have to worry about whether they’re getting the attention, care, and love they deserve. Knowing that they are being so well looked after allows us to relax and enjoy our time away. Paula has earned our trust time and time again, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were her own.

Dominique watched our fur babies while we went on a super quick trip. I’ve never left them before (one is 10), and I can confidently say I was never worried once about them or the care they were in. Our puppy took so well to her and she was very nice and chatted with my kids during the meet and greet. She pays attention to special details and even had some follow up questions which was so appreciated. We are so happy that we booked with her and will do so in the future!

We love Samantha! My husband and I work a lot so we usually end up booking Samantha 3-5 times per month. Our dogs (and cats) love her and I never worry about their well being when I know she’s coming over. She’s very flexible with scheduling which is amazing when I need her last minute (usually the case). The check ins are a huge plus!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Aquia Harbour

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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 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.
