About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and valued. My goal is to provide consistent attention and gentle care, making sure your pet’s routine is respected and their happiness is a priority. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care is woven into my daily life. I provide consistent attention, play, and comfort while managing family routines, ensuring pets feel loved and secure every day. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep things comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
About: Since the age of nine years old I have spent years caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting for family, friends, and other pet owners, along with my professional experience as a kennel technician at a boarding facility and a veterinary assistant at a cat-only clinic. My experiences have taught me that every pet is wonderfully different. Some pets want lots of playtime and attention, while others are happiest with a calm visit, their usual routine, and plenty of warm snuggles. I'm very comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, and following your specific care instructions. During each drop-in visit, my primary goal is for your precious pet to feel safe, comfortable, respected, and very loved while you're away. I will happily take the time to get to know their personality and make each visit something they can look forward to! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of consistent routines, attention, and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I am currently working toward my phlebotomy certification, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to plan drop-in visits around my coursework and commitments. As a military spouse, I also value being dependable, punctual, and adaptable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when your schedule changes or you're away from home. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to make caring for your precious pets a regular part of my week! When I am caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the care instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks for dogs, litter box care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I also take the time to pay attention to each pet's individual personality and comfort level, as well as respect their space while giving them the level of attention they need. I treat every client's home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home. Before leaving, I make sure everything is clean, secure, and just as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident while they're apart.
“Sean is the best groomer. We have had several meet ups and today he did our large Akita mix and two large bull dogs as well as our small elderly pack member- they look perfect. Nail clipping is always a chore but Sean comes to you and handles each individual dog carefully and respectfully according to their needs! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life, from taking point with family pets during my childhood to now having pets of my own. I am comfortable with and have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am currently enrolled in college full time, but with primarily online courses which allows me considerable freedom in my schedule for pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, etc. I know how important pets are - they are members of the family. As such, I pride myself on following owner instructions carefully, and treating the pets I watch and the homes I enter with the same love and respect I treat my own with.
About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life in my household. One of my dogs had diabetes so I do know how to administer insulin. I have also petsitted for my neighbor and friends a number of times. I am currently in college but classes are online so I am pretty much free any time or any day so you could say I am pretty flexible.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.
