“Kalliah is so kind,responsible, and reliable. We’ve used her twice now and she goes above and beyond to communicate and takes the best care of our beloved fur babies.”
About: I have worked with dogs all my life. I use to work/help my mom at a kennel at the young age of 7 and our household was always full of dogs! I have had experience with many breeds. I've owned a wide range of dogs: pit bulls, labs, huskies, dash hound, terriers, rottie and pugs. I love to go for long walks, hikes, play fetch, take them swimming. I love to take my dogs out in the field so they can get rid of their energy and run free. If your dog isn’t a runner I would to take them too. I have a very flexible schedule so I could work the times around your needs and times. Dogs are my passion and I can’t wait to babysit yours!
“We live in Hardwick.Mandy took excellent care of both of my cats. One of my cats has a chronic illness which required that Mandy give him an injection. She has previous vet tech experience so that was no problem at all. Mandy sent me an update with pictures of both cats. She even came to our house before our trip to meet the cats. We would highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
“Ella has been great with both of my dogs, Loki and Thor. Thor is still a young puppy and requires a little extra attention, and she has been patient, dependable, and really good with him. She keeps me updated during her visits, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I’m at work. Both dogs are comfortable with her, and everything has gone very smoothly. I really appreciate the care she gives them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dogs!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.
“Christina did a phenomenal job taking care of our two cats. She kept us updated with photos & videos and got along great with them. She's very much a pet person and we're glad we found her. We've already booked her to catsit again and will look to book her whenever we need someone to look after our cats.”
“Kiersten did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. She followed our instructions, and our cats were relaxed and well fed. One of our cats has been sick and she gave him his medicines, and he is looking even healthier than when we left!”
“Kayla visited our furbabies for yard time while we went out on a date. Kayla was communicative, made sure our babes were well taken care of, and sent us pics immediately after the visit. We are very pleased with the first visit with Kayla ! ☺️”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience across a wide range of breeds, including high-energy, working, and hunting dogs. I’m very comfortable managing active dogs that require structure, exercise, and consistent routines. I regularly take my own dogs on daily walks, hikes, and outdoor activities, and I have experience with leash handling, recall, and reinforcing good behavior. I’ve trained my own dogs through professional programs and understand the importance of consistency, especially for puppies and young dogs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s structured exercise for high-energy breeds or a slower, more supportive approach for senior dogs. Safety, reliability, and communication are a priority. You can expect timely updates and photos so you always know your pet is well cared for. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on their health, happiness, and comfort while you’re away. I work full-time as a Marketing Manager with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays while working remotely, making it easy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits. I’m unavailable for daytime care on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m available for morning and afternoon walks on weekends. I maintain a reliable routine and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive timely visits, attention, and exercise. Whether your dog needs a quick walk or a consistent weekly visit, I provide dependable and attentive care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m experienced with proper leash handling, situational awareness on walks, and managing high-energy dogs to ensure safe, controlled exercise. I keep dogs secure at all times, avoid unsafe environments, and prioritize calm, structured interactions. I respect your home and maintain a clean, reliable environment during every visit. I’m attentive to details, responsive to messages, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!

About: I work professionally from home, so I can be available for your pets' potty breaks and feedings and make sure they have company during the day. My love for animals started at an early age, and there's nothing I love more than spending time in their company. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and levels of training. I'm an active volunteer at the local animal shelter with dogs and have fostered very many cats and kittens in my home for them over the years. So I can work with the shy, hissy, nervous animals and love them all. I'm committed to providing the best care possible for your pets and know that that can sometimes include administering medication. As long as I'm clear on what, how, and when, I'm comfortable providing this service. I regularly send pictures and updates to help keep your mind at ease and confident that your pet is loving their time with me! I work from home as a manager for a tech company. This means that my schedule is flexible, and I can address food and potty needs around the clock. I work in an office with a door that closes and can keep your pets with me during the day or leave them free to roam the house. My house is on an acre of half-yard, half-woods. I will use a 100-foot lead for your pet any time we’re outside, and hey can explore the woods with me on a leash. I have a XL crate in my office that can be used to house your pet. I also have a dedicated bonus room, where pets that need a more quiet scene can go enjoy the warm, sunny window or the fluffy beds/scratch towers.
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open.

His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

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 .

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.
