About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh 😊 I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have a few years of dog-sitting experience, caring for both my own pets and my neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays. I currently work during the day, but I’m happy to help on my days off and when my schedule allows. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and I can care for multiple pets at once. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care needs. I also spend time giving attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to safety, making sure doors, leashes, and environments are secure during visits and walks. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space. I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾
About: I have been with rover, dog bording, since 2018. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.
“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. I’ve taken care of and handled anything from big dogs to newborn puppies, long-haired cats to barn kitties, rats, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, chickens, turtles and fish! I love every animal as if they are my own and strive to make them as happy, comfortable and loved as possible. My current schedule is extremely flexible. I always have Thursdays and Fridays open. When I do work, my shifts are only 4-6 hours at a time so I can be with your fur babies! I am well versed in animal body language. I have no issues with training, crating, and playing with many different kinds of pets! I enjoy giving your animals lots of love and attention but can also understand and respect when animals need their own personal space!
“We love working with Alexandria and our pets do too. They always seem so happy when we get back and well cared for. We have several pets that need medications and just general aging. She goes above and beyond to keep them comfortable when we are away.”

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life as well as fostering both for six years. I have experience with puppies, kittens, seniors, reactive dogs, and medication administration! I’m just looking for something fun to do between classes during the week and on my off days! It also allows me some much needed time with dogs as I unfortunately don’t have any since moving from Northern Michigan! I would treat them as if they were my own pet follow the owners instructions and be respectful of their home. I’m comfortable administering medications and working with reactive animals.

About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. Please note: at this time, I do have a dog who comes for daycare 3 days out of the week with different rotating week days (Mon, Wed, Fri) and (Tue, Thur, Fri). If your pet is staying on any of the days listed they MUST get along with other dogs. If you list that your pet does well with other dogs, I will assume that is the truth. I do accommodate 2 dogs each weekend unless there is a pet parent who has stated their pet doesn’t get along with other dogs. If your tell me your pet does get along with other dogs and I find out they’re not, you will be asked to pick up your dog & you will be charged for their stay with no refund. Thank you!🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)
About: With 12 years of experience, I provide daily dog care for all ages, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication routines, and house sitting. I grew up with a dog and volunteered at a humane society supporting daily checkups and adoptions. From Monday to Friday I am available to care for a dog or cat after 5:30pm On Saturday and Sunday I am available from 9am to 8pm I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort by following routines, maintaining a clean environment, and giving lots of attention. I respect your homes, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: Every dog is has their own personality. It’s more than dog sitting, it’s building a connection. In the past, I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at one time, each one with different needs. Whether it was making sure they took their medication or sitting with them while they ate. Catering to each dog and what they need is something very important to me. I’m currently home from college and don’t have any regular commitments. My plans vary depending on the week but as your dog sitter your dogs will be my priority. I know how important a routine and schedule can be for a dog, taking them out to potty every certain number of hours or feeding them at specific times.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- 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.
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. 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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
