“Emily is hands down the best dog sitter period. Our dog Molly loves her and she makes traveling worry free when it comes to our dog. I trust her and recommend her highly!!”

About: I love taking hikes with my dog and I am very good at handling any type of dog! Overall, I connect with every pet I meet to make sure they stay well loved while their owner is away Im currently working a part-time job with flexible hours so pet care fits in lovely!! My schedule allows for me to be available when needed! I can easily crate a pet, help them stay in the right areas of the yard or home, and make sure they are surrounding with a friendly and calm environment
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. When I lived in Tennessee, I was the go-to dog walker and pet sitter in my neighborhood and was consistently booked every single day. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for three years during school breaks, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, temperaments, and care needs. I currently have a Border Collie that I trained myself, along with a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m active, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Right now, I’m studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide reliable and consistent care. I’m observant, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I plan my study blocks around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m already used to an active routine with my own dogs, so adding walks, outdoor time, and structured play is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs, and I’m reliable when it comes to maintaining a pet’s normal schedule. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally build my day around to ensure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding times, walks, play, and any medications—while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of exercise, structured play, and a safe, supervised environment. I’m especially experienced with high-energy dogs, so I make sure they get both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m always observant of behavior, appetite, and overall health to ensure pets stay happy and safe. Whether in my home or yours, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and precise. He punctuality was awesome. She even altered her visit time to better facilitate our fur babies. Plenty of pictures and awesomely detailed updates. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitter needs.”


About: I've had dogs and cats usually both at the same time as my children were growing up. Since early 70's. I loved them and they seem to like me ok. The last dog I had was a Border Collie rescue that I adopted in Omaha 2017 she was found in Louisiana. Her and I moved to Colorado in 2020. She was very sweet and also loved other animals in the building where we lived including cats. Sadly, she passed 2024. We could communicate just with body language and looking into each other's eyes as I spoke to her. I still interact with all the dogs in the building when I see them. We would also go on hikes up at Palmer Park on the off-leash dog trail. Made a lot of friends with dogs there as well. I now live with my children and their 3 cats. They are very sweet also. Lots of cuddle time. Our pets just need love and attention and know that we care. So, I do tend to spoil them while abiding by the rules. I do have obligations a couple of times a week during the day. I'm usually gone about 2-3 hours when that happens. Evening meetings twice a month for couple of hours. I will do errands and help friends out from time to time. However, when I am scheduled to take care of a pet I work my schedule around them. Thursday mornings are the only day I cannot reschedule but I'm only gone for 2-3 hours average. Take the dogs for walks if client wishes / allows. Pay attention to cats and dogs so they don't feel alone. Stick to the routine the clients have set for them. Also change cats litter boxes when needed.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have three dogs of my own—two that are a year old or younger and one senior dog—so I’m comfortable meeting the different needs that come with each stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, training reinforcement, and lots of exercise to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how to provide the right care. I walk my dogs every morning, so regular exercise and maintaining a consistent routine are already a part of my daily life. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently a college student and attend classes three days a week, which leaves me available in the afternoons. On my days off, I enjoy taking my three dogs to the park or on long walks to keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Caring for my own dogs every day has made pet care a regular part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits their routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. Since I have three friendly dogs of my own, I always make sure introductions are done carefully and that every pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is to give pets a stress-free experience where they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!”

“Thank you for the fast response and accommodating me last minute! Wonderful pictures and definitely made me at ease knowing that they are ok :) 10/10 will book again!”

“Adrienne is prompt and sweet with our pups. I knew I could trust she was on time with her check ins and I felt comfortable knowing she was caring for them while we were out of town.”

About: An experienced pet owner from kittens to elder pets. I was able to teach my own cat tricks when he was 14 years old! I will make sure that I understand what your pet needs and let you know if I have any questions. I have a rotating schedule with long stretchs off to be able to assist during the week. I should be able to meet your needs. I will treat your pet like my own following your instruction to the T so that they are well taken care of. Thier safety is my primary concern!
“I will not hesitate to book with Kelsey when we need a cat sitter. She took super good care of our 13&15 year olds. Her communication was top notch, before and during our time away.”
“This was our first time booking Izzy for drop in visits for one day. We have 2 labs rather large in size and she did amazing! You can tell she has lots of experience with dogs. We highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”

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.
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 Black Forest 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
