“Thank you a ton. The request was relatively last minute and adjusted a few times but Ashley accommodated easily. The animals were well cared for and happy and I was able to attend my son’s wedding.”
“Taylor is absolutely fantastic with my two huskies! They love her so much and she is great! Will always come in and give me a report of what the dogs are up to and takes pictures so I can see them running around while I’m at work. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have worked at 3 animal shelters and 3 zoos I can handle any critter you throw at me. I have experience with big, small, young and old. I am comfortable with administering medication and handling behavior needs. I have also worked extensively with birds. I am a new mom so I am flexible on weekdays and weekends on a part time basis. More flexible if I am allowed to bring my daughter I have worked in every environment with many different care needs. I can accommodate to any service you need regarding your pet in your home
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and love being outside, so long walks and playtime are no problem. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work at a restaurant Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays from 10am–10pm. On my days off I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away I have a fenced one-acre yard where dogs have plenty of space to run and play. I also have sand pits and dog toys for enrichment and exercise. If the owner is comfortable, I love taking dogs on hikes and walks on the rail trail in Londonderry. I used to have a Jack Russell, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and making sure they stay active, safe, and happy.
“Charlene took exceptional care of my cat Phoebe! I felt at ease, immediately when I met her for the first time. Phoebe loved her. Phoebe was not at all afraid when she walked in and started petting her. She hides sometimes with friends and family. Charlene had an authentic interest in taking care of her. I would not hesitate to call on her again to watch Phoebe! Sheila”
“She was awesome being able to help me out with a couple days notice. She was able to follow my instructions of feeding my cats loving on them and ironically, most importantly, keeping my plant/flowers alive while I was on vacation by watering them. Thank you so much!”
“Jaimie was absolutely fantastic with Madeline! She took care of everything from feedings and litter maintenance to cleaning up unexpected hairball messes. She gave Madeline so much love and sent the best photo updates throughout the stay. I’m so grateful for her attentive care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet, reliable pet sitter!”
“Chelsea was wonderful!! I booked her for 4 day Holiday weekend. She visited us a week before our trip and met my dog and went over everything, I felt comfortable with her right away. She came twice a day and sent photos of the visits. Communication was great! Will use her again!!!”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”
About: I love all animals, from insects to horses and everything in between. I have experience taking care of rats, cats, and dogs to name a few. Your pet's age is also no problem as I have raised kittens and helped very elderly dogs. I have experience with medical and individual needs as well. If you need someone to help get your beloved family member some exercise or company, just let me know! I work remote so I am available anytime before 9 and anytime after 6:30. Occasionally, I am onsite and those days I am unavailable in the mornings and evenings till closer to 7:30 in the evening. Every Sunday I have full availability and same for most Saturdays. Sometimes I plan a small morning hike on the weekend, but I am also happy to bring furry friends along! I have no issues following specialized care plans such as medications, special foods, and specific routines. I try to follow every animal’s pace and body language so they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I am a slower person, so I do great with older or laid back pets, but I am happy to keep up with the more energetic ones as well!
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and as a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I have a rescue cat and a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and giving each pet the time they need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or need a little extra love and patience. I truly care about making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, so evenings after work and weekends are dedicated to caring for your furry friends! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your pet’s routine, needs, and any important details about your home. I’m respectful, trustworthy, and mindful of keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

Morgan is so kind and helpful with Loki. Just what he needs! Morgan’s always communicating and updating when necessary and that’s helpful for me, the anxious dog mom. So lucky to have Morgan and Loki just adores her! Thank you for helping us. Appreciate you. 💚
Kelsey was amazing! I went away for two weeks and she was a critical part of my care plan for the pups! She was reliable and easy to communicate with. Both Frankie and Hank were so happy when Kelsey arrived for her check ins. She kept me in the loop with updates, pictures and made sure they had everything they needed during check-ins! She even got to know their different personalities and quirks that make them special. Over all super happy that we met Kelsey! Would highly recommend!

- 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.

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.
