“Weslyn did an awesome job watching Jojo. She updated me every day, offered to replace his food if he were to run out, and was extremely flexible with constant scheduling issues that happened on my end. Not only was she flexible, but was gracious and patient regarding the changes as well. Upon return, though I planned on picking Jojo up from Weslyn's residence, she drove to me instead because my car had been buried in the snow. Jojo was happy and taken care of, and Weslyn's professional attitude made being away from my pup easier.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, caring, and comfortable with pets of all personalities. I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, overnight stays, etc! I currently work full time as a nurse and keep my schedule updated regularly. My schedule gives me several days off throughout the week, allowing me plenty of time to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I always make sure pets are in a safe and comfortable environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets have access to food, water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable with crates, leashes, and different routines and personalities

Weslyn is my go-to doggy sitter for my Jojo. He gets excited when he recognizes the road to her house! He has plenty of fun with her, and is always happy and worn out when it's time for me to pick him up ❤️

This is Jojo's second time staying with Weslyn, and once again she has taken awesome care of him and has provided daily updates. She kept me informed and gave Jojo plenty of exercise. I will be booking with her again.

Weslyn took great care of Kelso and was very flexible with a late booking! I would absolutely trust her anytime to look after my boy!

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Badger home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Badger.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Badger sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 , 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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
