“This was our second time using Isabella as our sitter and of course she over exceeded our expectations! She’s amazing with communication and the way she cared for our dogs she treats them like they’re hers. My dogs love her, we love her! I don’t think Isabella truly understand how much we appreciate being able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our babies, she’s the best!”
About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.
“Karla has been absolutely wonderful with Bow & Max! She’s very responsive and has great availability. I know my pups are safe and well taken care of ❤️ They are always happy in the pupdate pictures I get! Thank you Karla! 😃”
“Once again Bradley went above and beyond. We had already booked him for a fun getaway but we had a family emergency instead. He noticed Knox was not eating and was not his normal self. I assumed it was because Knox was anxious because we were running around like crazy trying to pack and get out the door. When I got home I monitored Knox because Bradley was so specific on Knox’s demeanor. He refused all treats which is 100% not him. He even brought different treats over for him to try. I took Knox to the vet today and he has elevated liver enzymes. I honestly don’t know if I would have taken him if Bradley had not given us the proper updates. Knox is now resting and on meds. Bradley, you are amazing and we are so grateful for you!!!!”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job at taking care of my two kitties. She cleaned up after them well and made sure to check in with me at every visit. It made being away from them a lot easier. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Ruth was hired to walk my Chihuahua, Nyla, on a regular basis while I am at work. I liked her so much in our meet & greet that I cancelled the other appointments I had set to look for the right dog walker. She is on time consistently, sends great updates and my dog LOVES HER! I fully trust her with access to the house and with my pup. Will be using her consistently moving forward.”
About: I’ve had a fascination with dogs since I was 8 and today I love taking my care of them to see each dogs personality and to be able to give them love and care. I would treat them like a child of mine I wake up Every day and take care of my baby outside of that I don’t have any hobbies besides taking care of my dog as well, so taking care of your animal will ensure I’m on my feet and happy I make sure water is ensured at all times, when they have to use the bathroom the backyard is always assessable for bathroom time and they are walked and played with whenever need be
“Bethany is so awesome I’ve already planned my second drop in this weekend. She was thorough in her care for my cat and extremely kind in the process. She is communicative and trustworthy! Super grateful I found her, and I know my kitty is too having warmed up to her so quickly. I highly recommend Bethany! :)”

Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.
About: Hello, ROVER FAMILY!! It is a complete honor to give you a brief story about my pet experience that led to my ROVER account being created and listed. I grew up in Virginia and my family had both cats and dogs. I attended pet visits with my grandmother, where the family pet recieved shots and nutrition check ups. I worked along side with my grandfather, while walking, feeding and bathing them as well. I also cared after my pet boxer, Sasha, as she gave birth to 2 litters. My brother and I took turns walking, playing and interacting with our childhood pets, and we enjoyed outdoor time around them. I understand how important rendering the best care to your pets can mean to you. Their safety, their eating lifestyle, and their health is an important key factor, and It is how they live longer!! My daughter is now home for summer break, and that means that I am free for more ROVER bookings than in a regular school year. PET CARE will be given in the homes of PET PARENTS only. I will follow guidlines and rules as needed, that will be provided by the owner.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bartow
Isabella has been a great Rover for our drop in visits we needed the past 3 days for a graduation. She was polite and very good to our two pups that needed her to let them out and get some affection in the manner of tummy rubs. They really responded well to her and we have never used a rover before and she delivered with wonderful results! They really like her and we will use her services again and recommend her for others in similar situations…

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bartow stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
