About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”
About: Hi! I am Nicky, I love pets. Right now I can't have a dog or a cat, so I'll love yours as if it were me own. Reach out to me anytime. I will be happy to help you, I work weekdays from 7:30am to 4:30pm, and we could accommodate the pet’s routine around that time. During each visit, or house sitting, I will make sure that they are fed, hydrated, given time outdoors and make they follow their daily routine.
About: We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.
“We once again used Mariana for a drop-in visit for our Saint mix Grayson on Tuesday. As always, she did a great job. Over the last nine months, we've utilized Mariana several times and she continually takes great care of our baby girl and is respectful of our home. Grayson is a rescue that at times has extreme anxiety issues, but she loves Mariana and is very comfortable with her. We've actually employed Mariana in training Grayson as well and she has helped her take great steps in her development. If you have a dog that is nervous and needs a sitter who really understands dogs, Mariana is definitely for you!”

“Amanda was responsive, caring, and incredibly trustworthy taking care of James and Winifred. She sent pictures and let me know of her arrival and departure. I would highly recommend her- she’s very comfortable with my rowdy dogs and they loved her immediately.”
About: Since 2014, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve stayed at other’s houses and have had the pets stay at mine too. I love animals and spending time with them. I had a dog of my own who passed in 2024, and was his primary caretaker. I’ve also nannied human kids aged 8-11 for 3 years. When spending time with pets I am there to be with them and love to play, go for walks, n provide them with proper stimulation and care. I've cared for a dog that would get seizures and provided her with medication and support while she was having them. I've cared for puppies and worked on both crate and potty training with them. I've also cared for older pups that needed a bit more relaxing time or special attention if they were blind or sick. I hope you find me trustworthy to take care of your loved ones, as I will treat them as one of my own. I work from home and own a business, so am fairly flexible with time. I can work around a client’s schedule and accommodate for their pets’ needs. Currently I am available for visits. So, I can go to a clients home and be with the pet there or take them out for walks and excursions. I hope to eventually be able to provide care for dogs in my own home.
About: Ive taken my years of doggie daycare experience to the world of Rover in the name of convenience for my clients! My area of expertise is training, and I have a deep understanding of dog behavior and body language. Each and every dog is unique, especially yours! I’m currently working part time and have been primarily working towards my training clients. I will be available next month, around most weekday evenings and weekends. Understanding what a dog values sets me apart! Play time is key, and I use any time I have to play indoors, outdoors, in a structured way to help dogs with their behavior, at the clients, and dogs comfort level.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My friends and family have been relying on me to walk and feed their dogs for years! Cuddles are also a must! May or may not talk to them like they are babies (which they 100% are) I currently work full-time at an elementary school, so this is only a weekend gig. That being said, I love going to watch and walk dogs of all kind!! Typically when I’m walking a dog, I make sure the dog goes at its own pace. It’s the dogs walk, not mine. That being said, I do what’s necessary to keep them from harm. I also will play with your dog whether it is just a walk-session or a full house stay.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.

- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

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.

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.
