“Sarah did a great job coming and letting my puppies out while I was at work, took time and played with them. Made me feel better that my puppies were well taken care of while I was away, thank you!”
“Rosanna was very thorough in everything she did in taking care of our cat. She goes above and beyond what she has to do, and on top of that, you can really tell she truly cares for animals in the way she interacts with them. I highly recommend her.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

“Rianna is so sweet with my pups. While they are very low maintenance, she goes out of her way to be super sweet and patient with them. 2 big thumbs up and I will continue to book her for my daily dog needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. Big, medium, and small. I’ve taken care of it all. It’s great. I’m currently working a full time job, but I work close enough to my home that I come home for lunch. So I like to take my dog out too and play for a little bit. 🥰🥰🥰 I have a semi fenced yard. Spacious for the dog to run and do it’s business. Spacious house for the dog to be comfortable ❤️
About: I have one Chocolate Lab named Coco at home I’ve taken care of for about 13 years or so. There is also a small dog my roommate has I have taken care of before. My parents also have 2 cats at home I’ve cared for over the weekends. I am always willing to learn new things and help animals! I have college classes and get done by 2 so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I also come home to a little dog everyday that my roommate has so I’m used to seeing pets around me!

About: I grew up with dogs and they are my favorite animal. I take great care and pride in proving the needs of my pets.

I absolutely love dogs. It is my duty to befriend any and every dog I ever come across in my life. Cats are pretty cool but I’m allergic. Some dogs basically get all the love I can provide. I’m a nightshifter who likes exercise so I can walk your dogs as much as they need. I love spending time with animals and thought this could be a great way to earn extra cash I have cameras on the property but no fences. I’m available to take the dogs for any amount of walks so they can get their excercise. I leave my doors locked and only gave a spare key to certain family members

“Sandy was awesome with my husband being in the hospital. I did not know until a few hours before if I needed her or not and under the circumstances, she was very supportive encouraging and helped at a drop of a hat. I came home yesterday morning after she had seen the dogs and she left a little card for them With two dog toys, saying from grandma Sandi. And a short amount of time she truly has become that. I also noticed she brought her own towel to wipe their feet off with in the mud Thank you Sandy for being so awesome and so kind encouraging and loving to my pups while I was away.”

Care for our dog (who had ACL surgery that week) and communication with us throughout was phenomenal! We highly recommend Gwen and hope to book with her again. Thank you, we’re beyond grateful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
We couldn’t be happier to have found Sarah to take care of our dog and cat. They instantly felt comfortable with her during our meet and greet, and so did we. Our Great Dane who is very slow to accept new people took to her right away. Sarah is perceptive and understands animal behavior. She took excellent care of our pets, doing everything as we would. She spent time with them, giving them lots of love, and pampered them with their favorite treats. She kept us informed with summaries of each of their visits along with adorable pictures of them each time. She made our getaway stress-free and definitely went above expectations. We highly recommend Sarah!

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.

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 .
