About: I gained valuable experience working with sled dogs in Alaska, building patience, discipline, and confidence in handling high-energy dogs and maintaining consistent care routines. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I have consistent daily availability for drop-ins and walks, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I will carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, keep the home clean, provide attention and playtime, and send updates to ensure pets feel comfortable and owners reassured.
“All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”
“Penelope looked like she had such a great visit with Lucas and Bo!!! They are so cute when they play together. Looking forward to our next booking! Thank you for looking after our girl!!!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!

About: I grew up in 4H taking care of animals as one of my first chores. I had dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens/other fowl, mice, fish, lizards, and the sweetest sugar glider I trained to glide to me. I have experience with young animals as well as old with a range of disabilities and medical needs. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule to check in, hang out, and spend the night with your fur babies. I’ll usually need to leave between 4-8 hrs at a time but sometimes can spend the full day as well as the night at your residence. My client’s animals receive the care they want to receive while primary humans are away. If they need someone to play and enrich, I’m there. If they just need a snuggle buddy to not get lonely or stressed, I’m also there. I am used to clients with complex feeding schedules or high needs pets, just let me know what and when your furry dependents need! For my safety as well as your big fur baby’s, I cannot walk large dogs who pull on the leash or who jump onto standing people.
“Adrian was fantastic! I had a last minute trip pop up and had about 2 hours to leave- Adrian responded quickly, showed up for a meet and greet within the hour, and our pups seemed to love her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”
“Qais did such an awesome job taking care of my 2 kitties on short notice. His communication with us was excellent, and he sent pictures of my babies while they were in his care. I will definitely rebook with him when the need arises!”
About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.

Samira is an absolute jewel! She was very attentive to my doggie and four cats while I was in Chicago for four days. She sent me photos and video updates every day and also looked out for my Temu and Amazon deliveries! I will absolutely be calling in her again next time I go out of town!

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.

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 .
