“Very reasonable prices and very responsible. She listened to and followed all of my directions carefully. She even rescued my cat, who had gotten himself locked in our office as we were leaving. I had zero issues and would have no problem hiring her again.”
About: Pet Care Experience: More Than Just a Sitter I've been a passionate dog enthusiast and reliable caregiver for over 15 years, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about providing genuine companionship and a fun, safe environment. I regularly handle all aspects of routine care, including medication administration, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and enforcing positive reinforcement training that owners already have in place. Whether it's a calm cuddle session or a high-energy adventure, I tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. What Sets Me Apart: A Focus on Connection and Safety While many sitters offer basic care, I believe your pet deserves a partner who is attentive, active, and highly informed. What makes me different is my combination of energetic engagement and deep understanding of canine behavior: My patience and understanding of dog body language mean I can spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or over-excitement before they become an issue. This ensures a low-stress, enjoyable experience for your pet and allows me to introduce toys and activities that they genuinely love. Safety is My #1 Priority: Beyond basic supervision, I focus on proactive safety. This includes double-checking gates, being aware of environmental hazards, and using proper leash handling techniques, especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. I am constantly vigilant so you never have to worry. The Ultimate Playmate: I bring genuine, playful energy to every session. I'm not afraid to get on the floor for a game of tug-of-war or dedicate time to an extensive walk and play session to ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied by the end of the day. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog! Pet care isn't just a side job; it's a valued part of my established routine, which means consistent and dedicated care for your dog. As a college student, I am available on different hours each day during the week. My family works with me to allow dogs potty breaks, play time and love while I am in class. Weekly Availability I am generally available for drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday: Available before 8:30 am and after 12:30pm. Tuesday: available before 9:30am and after 3:30pm. Wednesday: available before 8:30am and after 3:30pm. Thursday: available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. What to expect: Walks and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Between me and my family your dog gets full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine. When your dog stays with us, they become a member of the family. My home is set up to be a safe, clean, and low-stress environment where your pet can relax and thrive. Security and Supervision During the Day I want to be upfront about my schedule so you can be confident in the care I provide: Supervision: Guests are not 100% supervised throughout the day. My kids and I are at school for some time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a several hours at a time during the school day. My teenagers get home before I do and are responsible enought to play and give out potty breaks for your dogs. Security During Alone Time: Before I leave, all dogs are securely placed in a safe, dog-proofed area or kennel (based on your dog's preference) with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Doggie Door Access: For reliable house-trained dogs, we have a doggie door available that provides continuous, secure access to our fenced yard for potty breaks while I am away. This is a great feature for independent dogs who enjoy frequent outdoor access. My Resident Dog: A Friendly Host I share my home with Kilo, a friendly Irish Wolfhound Poodle Mix (a Wolfadoodle!) who genuinely loves having canine company! We actively encourage supervised, positive play sessions in our secure yard. However, your dog's comfort is my priority: Managed Socialization: Introductions are slow and monitored. If needed, I have the ability to easily separate my dog from guests using designated gates and areas, ensuring both dogs have their own peaceful space for meals, rest, or if a break is needed. The Home Environment Secure Fenced Yard: I have a wooden and welded wire fenced yard for safe, contained playtime and bathroom breaks. All gates are double-checked before outdoor sessions. Structure and Comfort: I maintain a consistent daily schedule (feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks) closely aligned with your dog's routine to minimize anxiety. I provide comfortable, dedicated sleeping areas for rest. Daily Updates: Trust is built on communication. You will receive regular photo or video updates daily so you can see your happy dog enjoying their stay, if desired. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved, ensuring you have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Jeffrey was great with Keno. He was able to do drop ins last minute for the holiday weekend. Super reliable and communicated great throughout the stay. We would definitely book again with Jeffrey.”
“Lacey was wonderful with my cat. I was so worried about leaving her for the first time. She put me at ease immediately. I will be using her whenever I have to leave her at home. Elphie loved her 😻”
“Megan kept open communication about every aspect of our puppies. The meet and greet went so well, we knew we’d feel comfortable leaving our babies with her! I can’t wait to book with her again.”
“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. One of them was having some skin issues requiring extra care and attention, and she handled that without issue. Her Rover cards have nice updates and good pictures. I always feel like my pets are in good hands (and laps) when she is looking after them.”

I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!
“Summer communicated well of when she would be there, what the dogs did, and how they were. I was nervous as my dogs are never left alone and she did great with keeping me informed during her check ins.”

In my home, pets are embraced with attentive care structured routines. They will enjoy cozy sleeping areas and designated play spaces, ensuring comfort and stimulation. With tailored feeding schedules and regular walks outside, their physical and mental well-being is prioritized. Creating, when necessary, is done with compassion and respect for their needs.

About: Animals are family, and that’s the approach I take when caring for them! I have extensive experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, personalities, and training techniques. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a daily walk, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would be happy to provide them with the same care I would give my own pets! My schedule is extremely open and flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week while giving each animal plenty of time and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing plenty of exercise needed, affection wanted, supervision, and patience while respecting yours and their space, habits, and individual needs.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was age 7. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I’m available 7 days a week. I can watch them at your house or mine depending on your schedule. They will have lots of play time during the day. I have a huge fenced yard, so there will be lots of room for running around and playing.I never leave them unattended in the yard. Plus I have two dogs that are pet friendly that would love the company. If you want help with extra training, please let me know.
“Kaitlynn was amazing! I had a last minute medical appointment down in SLC, and needed a dog sitter. Kaitlynn was super flexible with times. My dogs absolutely adored her. Ginny is more independent than most dogs, and she got Ginny cuddles!! I will definitely book her the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“They were awesome! Our poor dog was stressed out over the 4th of July holiday and they went above and beyond to make continuous check ins to ensure our pup was doing good. Would recommend 10/10 times.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. They make me so happy! I’ll respect your rules and treat your animal like it’s my own! I currently work in the morning, so taking care of animals is something I would have more time doing in the afternoon or evenings! I’m super flexible!

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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
