About: I have taken care of my own dogs as well as sat my friends/neighbors dogs for years! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m very detail-oriented with routines and communication, and I make sure pet owners always feel updated and reassured. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies who need extra attention, as well as older pets who may need a slower pace, patience, and gentle care. Im currently working part-time babysitting and also want to get out on walks more. So this seems like the perfect opportunity for me. I can do early mornings too! I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners by giving regular updates and photos, and I always respect the client’s home by keeping it clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and have pet sat since then as well. neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me many times and I do not let them down. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I already care for my own cats and dog, so feeding schedules, playtime, and litter box duty are second nature. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m committed to making your pet’s routine feel consistent and comforting while you’re away. I have the ability to commute to you and your animal and am available to stay at homes to provide attention-centered care for your pets.

About: Trusted, dependable pet and home care. I provide personalized attention, reliable communication & loving care for dogs of all breeds, personalities and energy levels while treating every pet and home with respect. I love having pets be part of my everyday routine. I enjoy getting outside and exploring local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots and I love taking dogs along for safe walks, play, enrichment and a little change of scenery when they’re comfortable with it. Every pet has their own personality, routine and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Before a stay or visit, I like to meet with families, learn their pet’s routine, discuss feeding, medications, walks and any special instructions and make sure I understand what is normal for their pet. While they’re in my care, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, giving them plenty of attention and companionship and making sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ave Maria
Mallory is very reliable, on time, keeps everything very neat and clean. Always kept me in the know with pictures, etc. My cats are a bit shy with new people in the house so there wasn't much interaction, which is fine with my girls. They would rather be left alone, and Mallory understood this. I would hire her again and recommend her sevices.

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.

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.

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 .
