About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog, an Aussie/Boxer mix. I’m very comfortable with high-energy, working breeds. I’m experienced with structured routines, exercise, and mental stimulation, but I’m just as happy caring for laid-back couch potatoes. I’ve trained my own dogs in basic obedience and agility and am confident reinforcing commands and maintaining consistency. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and always prioritize safety, structure, and lots of love. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m not working full-time at the moment and am only committed to part-time Army Reserve duties for the next month. I’m also preparing to take my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. This flexibility lets me provide attentive care, frequent check-ins, and reliable scheduling for walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. I have a spacious, comfortable home where pets are welcome on the couch and bed, just like family. If your pet is crate-trained or prefers their own space, there’s plenty of room to accommodate their crate as well. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I live in a quiet neighborhood near a walking path that’s perfect for long walks and daily exercise. As a medic in the Army, I have training and experience providing healthcare to working dogs; including medication admin, CPR, and first aid.
“Jennifer is fantastic! She's boarded our pup for quite some time, but this was the first time she came for drop-ins for our cat, Carol. It's always a little weird to have someone in your house when you aren't there, but with Jennifer, we were comfortable and so was our cat.”
“John has been incredible with my 4 dogs. Yes, 4! I have 2 older ladies and two younger males and they all love him. He is great with communication and I know that they are well cared for when we’re away. We have used him several times and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis is incredible and takes her role as a caretaker for my dog very seriously. She extends her love as if he were her own. If you need someone you can trust, even in a pinch, hire her immediately!”
About: I’ve taken care of many of my classmates pets back.while I was a child.what separates me is the genuine compassion I have for animals and sitting I’m currently working a full time job about 40-45 hours a week.this would be a good side job to add on to my work load I use whatever resources they provide like doggy door ,fence,litter box etc whatever is at my disposal most importantly I pride myself in handle each pet with as much care as I would do my own
“Maria is great with our cats, they love her, are comfortable enough to socialize, play, and sleep around her, which for one of the cats, is saying alot. They're always well fed, cared for, and definitely receive plenty of love and play during our care times when on vacation!”
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

About: grew up riding horses and caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life I’ve owned and cared for horses, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ different needs and personalities. I also grew up in a family that bred and raised championship-line German Shepherds, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently own a German Shepherd and understand the importance of exercise, structure, consistency, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or just companionship while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom at the moment, with one baby and one dog. I am in school for personal training and I go to the gym in the morning, walking and caring for dogs will get me out of the house and around animals I love. I currently have a German shepherd who gets let out as often as he wants, I also take him for 30-60 minute walks a day, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. And respect how you want them cared for.

“She did a late night and short notice drop in for my boy who was barking and having anxiety and our friend was unreachable. She helped him even tho he was scared since he hadn’t meet her, but she took time and he went to her so well and calmed him down. Even tho I wasn’t there, I saw how sweet and patient she was with him on the camera and I just knew she was great with our boy and pets in general! She saved us a ton of stress! ❤️ definitely will ask her to help in the future and recommend to others.”
About: I was born and raised with St Bernard’s, Irish Setters and miniature poodles as well mutts, ducks, cats, birds etc. I have continued to have pets in my life through my adulthood. The last of my pack of 5 has now past away. I love dogs so much I volunteer in the pet community and have a non profit to help educate, maintain and build off leash dog parks. Responsible pet ownership is very important to me. As someone who had a pack of 5, all sizes, breds and ages and health, understand the need to have someone you trust care for your pet, at least as good as you would!! Rescue, special needs and seniors have a special place in my heart ❤️🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!! I have a flexible schedule working remotely from my home. I usually know what I have to be in front of the computer for at least a week in advance and work around where I need to be and when. Because I work remotely I am able to stay with your pet. Let’s set up a meet and greet to get to know each other before you need my services. Your fur family is a priority. I love to share time with your family. If they want to play, or snuggle or just know someone is there. I am flexible. I work remotely the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be with your pets the majority of the time. I also limit the amount of other families I care for at one time, so I can give more of my attention to your family. I follow your rules, or example allowing them or not on furniture, specific snacks, or okay time routines. If you allow I’d love to snuggle with them through the night in bed with me.

I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!

“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”

Aaron has watched Zeus of us a couple of times now and each time has been a wonderful experience. Aaron is always very prompt with responses and communicating. I’m always sent pictures of Zeus while Aaron is caring for him as well as letting me know how he was while he’s here and if there was any interesting or important information he thought I should know. He tries to make sure to send pictures to go along with the notes as well.
Theresa does great with Ranger during her daily drop in visits. She has been helping reinforce commands and training and I can tell it’s making a difference when I get home. Provides great updates daily on things she notices and how training is going as well!
Baylee was absolutely amazing with all three of my dogs! I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Taking care of three dogs at the same time is definitely not an easy job, especially because each of my dogs has a different personality and needs, but Baylee handled everything so well. From the very beginning, Baylee was kind, patient, responsible, and very attentive to my dogs. She made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care, and I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them rather than simply treating it like a job. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. One of the things I appreciated the most was how attentive Baylee was to each individual dog. She took the time to understand their personalities and made sure they were comfortable and safe. She was also very reliable about following all of my instructions and taking care of everything exactly as I asked. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in good hands while I was away. Baylee also did a great job communicating with me. She kept me updated and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing, which was especially reassuring when I was away from home. It was obvious that she was paying attention to them and making sure they were doing well. Most importantly, my dogs clearly loved having her around. When someone takes care of three dogs, I think you can really tell whether they genuinely enjoy being around animals, and Baylee definitely does. She was so caring and gentle with them, and I could tell my dogs felt comfortable and safe with her. I am extremely grateful for how well she took care of all three of my babies. Finding someone I can trust with three dogs is not easy, but I would absolutely trust Baylee with them again without hesitation. She went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Baylee, for taking such great care of my three babies! We really appreciate you, and we will definitely be booking with you again! ❤️🐶🐶🐶
Denice was absolutely incredible! We had a last minute need and she responded very quickly. She was able to book our visit last minute and showed up early which we really appreciated. She was very detailed oriented and we left our dog feeling really reassured. She provided updates and pictures. We will definitely be hiring her again and 10/10 recommend!!
Maddison was so amazing at taking care of my pups. I got frequent pictures showing me all the fun they were having together. I highly recommend Maddison to watch your babies as well. This isn't the first time she has watched my pups and it wont be the last. Thank you Maddison!!!
Megan helped us for a last minute dog visit! Our dogs absolutely had the time of their lives!! She took amazing care of our puppies and gave us some of the best photos of them that we have! We will definitely rebook in the future! She was super professional and so kind hearted!
Drop-in visit was mainly for grooming since, due to poor vision, I'm unable to safely do. Clover loves Gabriela snd is very happy every time she is here, whether it be for Drop-in visits or dog walking. Gabriela is very good with Clover as well as my cat Bonnie. She is a college student however and you may need to be flexible with your schedule to accommodate her school schedule.
Our family absolutely loved Nicole and her girls , they took excellent care of my Gracie girl , kept her company and played with her which she absolutely enjoyed, asked her for picture updates and she has taken so many pictures. I would 100 percent book with her again she is very good at communicating and super trustworthy. Gracie loved them so much.
Samantha was just perfect for our dogs! Very thoughtful and caring. Her communications were clear and sweet and we looked forward to hearing from her daily while we traveled. We definitely felt like our pets were in excellent hands, and I would absolutely suggest her to people looking for pet care

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Birchwood is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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 Birchwood 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
