About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.
“Garrett is the best! Our pets get very anxious when we travel but Garrett made them feel so comfortable. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Def recommend Garrett for dog / cat care!”
“Lydia is incredibly pet-friendly and caring. We knew that six small-breed dogs could be a challenge, but she was able to meet each of their individual needs while keeping us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. Lydia was very proactive, attentive, and communicative. We would definitely trust her with our dogs again and will gladly use her services in the future.”

“Brooke followed all of our instructions and provided detailed updates and pictures from each of her visits. We really appreciated her looking after our cats while we were out of town!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have looked after dogs of all sizes. I thoroughly enjoy the presence of puppies and have had the pleasure of training puppies, caring for elder dogs, and everything in between I am a recent graduate looking to keep busy by fulfilling a passion of mine. I am currently in the process of a gap year as I plan on pursuing a graduate degree in the future. Therefore, I have pretty open availability at the moment. I cannot offer a stay at my current residence, but I am open house sitting, daily check ins, walks, or anything else to make fulfill your pets needs.
“Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with! We spent a long weekend away from home and were blown away by how friendly, professional, and kind Kelly was with our two kitties! She went well above and beyond to make sure we were constantly updated on the kittens’ well-being and excelled at taking great care of them and our house. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly!!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.
“Lindsay did an awesome job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent great pictures and videos and helped ensure my cat was well taken care of in my absence. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Always a pleasure having Brian take care of our babies. They were a bit naughty and got into our Christmas tree and he cleaned up after them and made a barrier so that they couldn’t get to it. Glad to know we won’t come home to a down tree!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bakerstown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
