About: I've had pets in my world my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats and many small critters. Animal care is like second nature to me! My kids grew up in a one or two dog household, which I raised and trained as puppies and cared for during their senior years. Currently I am the proud owner of Finnley, my 4 year old black Labrador Retriever. I've raised and trained her since she was eight weeks old. Through consistent positive training, she has mastered basic commands and has become an active well-behaved companion. Because of my daily routine of walking and hiking at least 2 miles every day, I have the stamina and enthusiasm to give energetic dogs the quality exercise and playtime they need. In addition to dogs, I also have deep personal experience with cats. I lovingly cared for a sweet feline, Sadie from a kitten through her senior years- she lived to the ripe age of 13. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a brisk walk or an independent cat who needs gentle attention or food routines maintained, I understand how to read different pet personalities. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can provide reliable daily walks or drop-in services to keep your pet(s) happy. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet(s) in someone else's hands. I will follow feeding, walking, and household instructions to the letter, double check all doors and gates and never take unnecessary risks on walks. I will treat every animal in my care like a member of my own family.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have a dog of my own who is 10 years old and is disabled. I love dogs a lot. I would like to earn a little extra money on the weekends when I am not working at my full time job during the week. I absolutely love dogs and cats. I am very much an animal person. I will do anything that is needed to keep your animals safe. I have experience with different kinds of care including using electric fences and physical fences and also using leashes outside. I also have experience with disabled dogs.
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from yorkies to German shepards to Great Danes. I have kept my families dogs at my place while they are on vacation for at least a week. I have experience staying at the owners house to care for pets and also boarding pets in my own home. I’m an active person and a strength athlete, so if your pet is active and needs walks, we will both we getting in our steps together. Active by day, but definitely a couch potato by night! I’m a hybrid 9-5 employee and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Depending on my weekend availability, I can board pets in my home for one night or multiple night between Friday and Monday Agreeing to care for your pet means not only treating your pet with love and respect, but also understanding your needs and boundaries with your furry loved one. I will always ensure I understand instructions clearly to deliver the best service possible!
“What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!”
About: Hi I’m Hailey! Growing up my family always had both cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable taking care of pets. I have years of experience with both dog and cat sitting for both short and long term stays. I love to be active and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and can customize my schedule to fit their needs. I work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can work based around you and your pet’s needs! Available weekdays as well as weekends. I have dog sat for both large and small dogs before and have no issue with tailoring to their needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for long term stays up to a month for dogs, cats, and chickens alike!
“Jessica is always accommodating , my work schedule is ever changing and she is a huge help in taking care of our girls. She truly loves dogs and knows how to care for them.”
About: I’ve always wanted my own pet, but because my friends had their own; I’ve been able to take care of pets since 2015. I have an abundance of love to give to my friends pets everytime I see them. My friends have trusted to leave their pets with me to take care of and pets love to see their aunty (me) when I come over ☺️ I’m currently working part time (from home mostly) & contract (in person). Depending on everyone’s schedule I’m pretty flexible. I try to have breaks around 12-2pm, and finish the rest of my work day around 7pm. Depending on the house, I let pets out in the backyard to potty or I will walk them around the neighborhood. I feed them at their designated time. I make sure to play and love on them through out the day.
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Alexandra! We needed a last-minute dog sitter for the 4th of July weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old German Shepherd, Gus. She came by twice a day for drop-in visits and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Gus can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but he quickly became comfortable with Alexandra, which says a lot about her calm, caring approach. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Gus like he was her own. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was getting plenty of attention and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable, we highly recommend Alexandra. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jillian always takes such good care of our Peanut! She gives great updates and photos of our sweet girl when we are away and makes sure she is cared for, would recommend her highly to everyone!”
“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”
“Ruby had another great span of days hanging with Hannah. Ruby and her cat siblings thought they were on vacation too and ransacked some treats. Hannah moved a chair to block them from further indulging and this helped us come home to less of a mess and having to deal with upset pet tummies.”
“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Five stars! Kira is the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough. I was pretty stressed about finding a cat sitter for this trip as my two boys are entering their senior years and have some special dietary/medication requirements. I just didn’t feel comfortable trusting it all to someone else for a whole week but Kira put me at ease immediately during our meet & greet. Her prior reviews and former experience really speak for themselves. She understood their significant personality differences and knew exactly how to handle them (which is saying something because one of my boys is very difficult and basically a gremlin in a catsuit). By day 3 of my vacation I realized I had stopped stressing about how the cats were doing because I felt so confident with Kira’s care. She is so communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Also, bonus — she’s a fantastic pet photographer! We looked forward to the photos and commentary every day. Finally, the most important part to me is that I came home to find happy cats who were definitely happy to see me, but in no way seemed traumatized, which is how they usually act when I leave for a few days. She’s truly the best!”
“Lunah is fantastic! She is punctual, polite, and super loving with our dog Zeus. She went above and beyond to make sure he didn’t have ticks on him from playing in the backyard. We will definitely ask her to watch Zeus again and highly recommend her!”
“Brittany’s amazing and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great care! She took the time to go out of her way and stop over for a meet and greet before we left which made me feel at ease. Great communication and sent pictures of our cats snuggling up. One of my cats is shy to warm up to new people but she truly is an animal whisperer and he was laying down right by her feet the second he met her! Thanks Brittany!”
“Melissa provided great communication and had a lot of patience with my not understanding how to book with this app lol. And my dog seemed very happy to have her visit! Thanks, again!”

Jaclyn is such a kind amazing person and I’m so glad we found her! She really made me feel that my fur babies were in the best hands. She was very detailed on everything. My cats warmed up very quickly to her! Overall just a great experience with her and was very communicative. She even came to my house to meet and understand the routine, pick up our garage button before we left for our trip and closed up the house each day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone! Thank you Jaclyn!

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.

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.

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 .
