About: On a personal level, I have cared for and been family with dogs my entire life. As I got older, I found my current dog who has transformed my love and respect for dogs into something indescribable. After rescuing her at 3 months old, I have trained and raised her into a beautiful and fully-realized working-line dog. I have experience in advanced training of dogs that ranges from day-to-day obedience to scent imprinting and mind puzzles for high-drive/working breeds that require the mental stimulation. Regardless of your dog's personal needs, I will ensure that those needs are met and addressed in a fulfilling and rewarding way that will leave them feeling loved and satisfied. Depending on the week, you can expect to see me available up to five times in a week! I will do weekends and holidays without question. Every pet has their own specific and individualized needs. This knowledge will help me determine what is needed for your pet, such as longer/fast-paced walks to exercise a high-drive breed or a leisurely stroll for the beloved seniors. Drop-Ins will entail evaluating your pet's needs and addressing them accurately and satisfactorily.

Looking for summer work. y schedule is consistent and organized, which allows me to be dependable and punctual for visits. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, I make sure every pet receives reliable, loving care and is treated like one of my own. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also treat every client’s home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”

“I was in need of a sitter for my cat and my regular service was unavailable. I searched online and found Rover. It was easy to set up my account and easier still to schedule a last minute sitting with DonnaT. Donna was punctual with visiting my kitty as scheduled and made sure to accommodate of my cat’s needs. I am pleased with both Donna and Rover and will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jo is an amazing animal lover. Such a gift for pet owners that need support. She was very communicative and sent me pics which really cheered me up while I was in the hospital. I would highly recommend Jo for any if your pet support needs. I could not be happier with the care my 4 dogs received. Until the next time Jo, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

I have a flexible job that allows me to provide care for animals throughout the day. My wife is also extremely involved and we enjoy spending our time around animals. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. My main goals are to keep your dog comfortable and to not send them home with a vet bill.
“It was a pleasure having Christina watch our Yorkie Evie. We appreciated her thorough communication and professionalism. We felt very comfortable having her dog-sit Evie while she is having a leg issue and required extra care. Evie looks forward to hanging with Christina again soon”
“This is our second time booking with Julia, and once again it was such a smooth process. We fully trust that our cats are well taken care of while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’m a pet sitter/dog walker in the Haddonfield/Barrington area. I have eight years in pet sitting for cats and dogs, as well as having my own animals. I have raised dogs as young as six months and cats as young as two months and trained my own dog, Honey. I also have experience with senior dogs, including helping them up and down stairs and administering medications. Additionally, before working at my current job, I worked as a tech at a nature center, where I cared for various fish, amphibians and reptiles. Excited to meet you and your fur baby! I currently work full-time during the week but have plenty of time at nights and on the weekends for walking, playing and caring for your dogs! I always make sure that spaces are pet-friendly and follow any and all instructions given. I think it’s very important to make sure that dogs get enough physical activity, so long walks and play time are key!
About: I've had 3 dogs in my life and when I was old enough I trained 2 of them with basic commands. I usually help my aunt with watching her dog which includes bathroom breaks, staying over night, and hanging out with him during the day. I've also watched him after he had surgery to make sure he didn't mess with the wound. I'm a part time college student and I work during the weekend. I'm mostly free during the week after 11 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some Fridays I'm free before 1. I have a fenced yard and a pool with a small dog who loves running around and swimming(our big one passed recently), I give my dog baths, I take her for walks, play with her, feed her, clean her space. When I watch others pets I make sure to clean up if they make a mess, that they go potty before I leave and have a full bowl of food and water depending on how long they will be alone for.
About: Hey there! I’m Dana, I’m a night owl, film and reality tv lover, I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, listening to music, cooking & spending time with friends and family. I’m a lifelong animal lover (of all animals, even the tiniest bug!) and have been professionally pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but am a big softie for large breed dogs. I have two German shepherds and a beagle, but don’t worry- I live with family, so they will be cared for while I’m with your pet! I strongly believe in leaving things better than you found them, which means that your home and pets will receive lots of TLC while I’m with them. I provide around the clock care to keep your pet company throughout the day. Whether you just need a quick drop in and walk or an extended stay, I will be there to give your pet all of the potty breaks, attention, playtime and companionship they need. In your home I will follow your regular rules and routines you have in place for your pets. I find that sticking to your pet’s normal routine keeps them calm and happy when their family members are away.
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
Margo was great with Ava. I got home last night, and Ava seemed happy. She wasn’t mad at me 😁. I should have have thought of Rover a long time ago. I would like to meet up with Margo so I can retrieve my key and thank her in person. I may have to have her again, according to my future plan. If Margo could get in touch with me, for a meetup, that would be great! Thank you! Diane Clancy
We booked Brielle to do daily check ins on our cat, Roxy, while away on our wedding and honeymoon. Working with Brielle was easy and stress free. Brielle gave us daily updates that made us feel confident and comfortable that Roxy was well cared for while we were away! Roxy who is shy at first warmed up to Brielle quickly again making us feel good. We would recommend Brielle and will book again in the future!
So grateful for having found Tara - reliable, responsible, gives good visit reports, and has incredible patience trying to catch a quick photo of our shy and elusive calico! Tara has taken care of our cat a few times when we’ve been away and we trust her as our go-to. Highly recommend. Thank you Tara!
Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
