I treat every dog like my own and am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for while you're away. I offer flexible pet walking services around my school schedule and will work with you to find times that best fit your pet's needs. I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate care for every pet I meet. I do care for every pet as if they were my own by following their regular routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In a client's home, I provide fresh food and water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection while respecting the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs.

About: I already have two great dogs! A yorkie(4yrs old) and pitbull(8-9yrs old), I have a great backyard with lots of space to run around in. I’m able to take dogs that need time outside alone away from other dogs. As a dedicated stay-at-home dad managing our family's homeschool schedule and running a home artisan sourdough bakery, I am consistently on-site and present throughout the entire day. My daily routine allows me to seamlessly integrate hands-on pet care into our everyday rhythm, ensuring visiting dogs receive frequent check-ins, consistent supervision, and plenty of attention alongside my daily baking and family responsibilities. Because I do not commute for work, I maintain steady availability and flexible scheduling for both first-time and recurring clients, giving pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their dog is never left unattended. Welcome to our home-away-from-home for your furry family member! I am a dedicated stay-at-home dad offering a safe, affectionate, and fun environment where your dog will be treated like family. Our home features a huge, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, play fetch, and burn off energy, along with a covered shelter underneath the porch for relaxing in the shade, as well as full access to come inside and lounge comfortably with us. To keep everyone safe and happy, all visiting dogs must be friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, and must be crate-trained. Please bring your dog's crate, food bowl, food, leash, and collar or harness with you at drop-off so we can maintain their normal daily routine throughout their stay.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets since I was young. As I have previously worked in veterinary medicine I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pets are in good hands. I will treat your pets like my own, follow their routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. I’m currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like family. I’ll make sure your pups get lots of love, attention, playtime, and potty breaks while you’re away! I provide a clean, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs and routine, and I’ll make sure they’re supervised and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I also follow the owner’s instructions to help keep their pets happy and safe!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾

This was my second time booking with Mrs. June, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my kitty, DC, while I was away on vacation. She is dependable, kind, and thoughtful, and I especially appreciate the pictures and updates she sends during her visits. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing DC is being cared for while I’m away. It’s such a comfort to have someone I can trust, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!

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.

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! ❤️🐶🐶🐶

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Birchwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 500 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Birchwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
