About: Enthusiastic dog and cat lover. Exotic pets welcome! Perfectly capable of handling any cleanup necessary. No experience with "extremely" disabled pets but I'd love to gain some! I don't smoke, I have reliable transportation, and I'm a fervent cruelty free advocate! I have 6 pets of my own, 2 dogs & 4 cats. Milo orange male, George orange male, Cashew orange male, Prim tabby female. Olive black lab, Sabrina chocolate lab. I'm able and eager to care for big & small animals of all breeds. I'd love to work with hamsters, mice, gerbils, rats, etc. I had rats from 2021-2023. I'm not afraid of "bully" breeds, truly I adore them. If you have any questions feel free to message me! I'm unemployed at the moment (8/6/26) so I've endless time for pet play and care! I somewhat frequently have to administer medication to my older pets for various reasons. If your pet needs that I can provide with proper teaching from you, just to make sure I don't make a mistake. I cannot currently care for your pets at my home, not with 6 of my own. However I can play with, exercise with, feed, water, walk, and give lots of love to your fur baby.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs since I was a child, so working with animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have seven dogs of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes, energy levels, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding and maintaining routines, walking and exercise, potty breaks, crate routines, playtime and enrichment, basic oral medications, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Managing a large pack has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog’s behavior, comfort level, and personality. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work as an independent DoorDash driver, which allows me to create my own schedule and gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I can plan my DoorDash hours around my Rover bookings, allowing me to prioritize the pets in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and extended care. Because my work schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s normal routine and needs. I also care for my own dogs daily, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I understand the importance of consistency, regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention. My goal is to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible, rather than expecting your pet to adjust to mine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I have a fully fenced-in backyard with three security cameras, which provides additional monitoring and peace of mind. Dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have seven dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with managing a multi-dog household and paying attention to each dog’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Introductions are handled carefully, and dogs can be separated when needed so everyone has their own safe and comfortable space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their normal routine and follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household or safety rules. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and closely supervised environment where every pet is treated like family.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Basham

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.
