About: I provide loving, dependable care for all kinds of pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I have experience with puppy training, senior pets, and anxious animals, and I always adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Now that I’m no longer working full-time and only attending college part-time, I have wide availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a relaxing walk, I treat every furry (or feathered!) friend like family, their comfort and happiness always come first. Available whenever you need me night or morning. Send me a text and I'm sure we can figure a schedule that works for everyone! Thank you ! I'm detail-oriented, carefully managing every aspect of pet care, from feeding to medication. Respectful of others' property, I ensure their home is treated with utmost care, making pet care seamless and reliable.
“Myah & Bree stayed in our apartment and watched our 10 month old German Shepherd puppy for 5 days while we were away. It was our pup's first time being away from us, so we were a little nervous about who watched her and how she would do with us leaving. Myah and Bree were amazing and made us feel confident that our pup would be well taken care of while we were away! Consistent communication, photos/videos, dog park adventures, walks, etc - they did it all. Our flight got cancelled last minute and they quickly rearranged their schedules so they could stay one more night. Will definitely book again!”
“Gordon is so good with Asher, and an all around great guy to care for my ‘canine kid’ (many thanks)! Would certainly recommend him to folks looking for a caregiver for their beloved pet. ❤️”
“Marli did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. It is clear that she is a cat lover and enjoyed spending time with them. I wanted someone who would play with my cats and give them affection while I’m gone, not just feed them, and Marli did just that! I could tell from the daily photos she sent me that both my girls were very happy. I came back home to two cats who barely missed me because they had so much fun with Marli.”
“I honestly can’t rave enough about how kind, patient and caring she is with our wild boxer pup. This is the 2nd time we book her and we are so happy with the amount of updates she shared with us.”
“Jade took excellent care of Zeus while I was away. He’s very timid but took to her immediately; you can tell she’s very good with animals. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of pics to keep my mind at ease while I was away. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.
“First of all, Yaritza, thank you a million times!! Yaritza took excellent care of my pets and my home! They kept great communication, with regular updates and lovely photos of our beloved dogs, cat and they even took care of our bird & fish! I can't say enough great things about Yaritza. They also kept the dogs pretty active, and the pets seemed very happy! Yaritza also took extra care during a storm, and checked in with me to see if there was any necessary steps to take on the terrace, and secured my outdoor cushions. That was incredibly thoughtful! My home was in perfect shape when we returned home. Great to get home and be able to just relax. Thank you again Yari! I highly recommend booking Yaritza, I will definitely re-book them for future needs!”
“Andrew has been amazing with my dog Luna. He’s very reliable and flexible on both occasions I booked him. She reacted great to him and he sent me plenty of photos and updates. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker on Rover.”
“Bria watched our senior dog, Winnie, for 1 night and was absolutely amazing!! She was very communicative before the booking and during her time with Winnie. She sent lots of pics and videos and followed all the care instructions to a T! We really felt like Winnie was in good hands. Thank you so much, Bria!! I will definitely book again!”
“We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.”
“Paloma was wonderful! She took amazing care of Mylo, following all our instructions impeccably, communicated proactively, sending lots of photos and videos, and left our home pristine. It qould be our pleasure to have her sit with Mylo again!”
“Naidilis was great with our dog Kimbo for the weekend. This was our first time booking with her and we were very impressed. She communicated very well and sent a lot of photos. She really spent time with our dog which was reassuring and took him on walks. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!!!”
“Sean was great with Asher and took wonderful care of him! He sent some pictures to keep me up to date and was a good communicator. I certainly recommend him and will reach out again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and they’ve always been family to me. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. As I got older, I naturally became the one fully responsible for their day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, vet visits, and giving extra love and patience as they aged. My dogs lived long, happy lives, and I truly believe that’s because of the attention and love they received. Caring for animals is what I would like to do full-time, and I’m here to support your pet’s routine with consistency and love. I have open availability throughout the week, including some weekends —whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or drop-in visits. Your pet will have my full attention, patience, and care whenever you need it. I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where each animal feels secure and seen. I have a bunny and three birds of my own, so I’m very mindful of maintaining a peaceful, clean space that respects each animal’s needs and energy. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, and I know how to read their cues—whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or patient attention.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my best friends! Cant wait to make new ones and take care of your furry friends! I’m currently working at a school during the week between the hours of 8:30-3:30 but make sure to plan no events after if I am taking care of a furry friend for longs walks and hangouts! We have a big back yard with lots of space to run around and 2 furry friends that are always around to keep the new furry friends company.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belleville
Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!
Marley was wonderful\! She took great care of Mio while we were away and made sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for\. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while traveling\. I really appreciated her patience, attentiveness, and the care she showed him\. I came home to a happy, well\-cared\-for cat\. I would absolutely book Marley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter\!
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog, cat, and guinea pig were all very well cared for during the overnight stay. Everything was handled responsibly and with lots of care, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d happily recommend Sam and book again!
Erin was incredible with our pets during her stay! My dog is 14 years old with Cushing’s disease and I was very worried about leaving him for 10 days, but Erin took all that worry away for me. She updated me almost daily, sent many pics and videos, and took great care of our apartment. I could tell my animals loved her very much and were happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Juliana did a wonderful job caring for our senior pugs and staying in our home for a week. It was clear from the meet and greet to the way she communicated with photo updates and a request to clarify the best way to manage a minor health scenario flagged in our instructions that she takes this role very seriously, which we appreciate. And importantly the dogs felt comfortable with her right away! Would hire again.
Yari was so great with my dogs, it was great to have someone who knew beagles super well since we have an anxious boy! It gave me a lot of peace of mind to have her check on them while I was away, and she was a joy to work with :) Will most definitely book again in the future!
Gordon watched my three small dogs for three days! This included my one high needs fifteen year old dog and my one year old dog who has a grumpy attitude. Gordon was a pleasure to work with. He was super friendly. He was very attentive. He was super communicative and sent me tons of video and pics of my pups. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend! If you want your pups to be spoiled Gordon is your pick!
We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.
Siara is wonderful! She took excellent care of our 13 year old dog, including giving her daily medications, lots of belly rubs and gentle walks. Siara also took excellent photos and videos of our dog, which was so appreciated during our 5 days away. Siara’s communication was excellent too! And she left our house spotless: We will definitely book her again. We recommend Siara to anyone who needs a responsible dogsitter.
Darrin was great taking care of my two boys at my home for a weekend trip I had planned. He provided frequent updates and pictures and was even able to accommodate beyond the originally scheduled trip if needed due to weather travel disruptions. 10/10 would recommend and would happily use him again if ever needed! Thanks again from me and the boys!
Trisha was terrific! She was very friendly and great with updates and photos. She took very good care of our 12 year old dog. She was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful with household tasks like watering plants, collecting mail and recycling while we were away. Our dog was very relaxed and comfortable with her. Highly recommend! Added bonus she gives great pet massages!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Belleville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Belleville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Belleville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
