About: Welcome!! I am a 22 year old college graduate with a bs in wildlife biology and I worked at the von Arx wildlife hospital!! I have cared for animals my whole life, I have a GSP puppy and an older shepherd. I’m experienced in all animals (horses, chickens, dogs, sheep you name it)! My neighbors and friends typically rely on me to feed and walk their pets when out of town. Im super flexible and accommodating to any of your wants and needs and always responsible and timely. I am also experienced in dog training and caring for dogs with special needs as well as oral medicine administering and elderly pets! I would love to care for your furry friends and provide them with all their wants and needs whether it’s daily walks or drop in visit to overnight stays I offer all three services! I work 4 days on 3 days off typically Friday-Sunday however my work days are flexible and provide me with enough time for mid day potty breaks as well if necessary! Caring for your dog in your own home I will follow any special requests or specific orders for caring just how your puppy would like it. I always make sure they are fed and given plenty of water as well as played with and have plenty of active time to get all their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule and can accommodate to your dogs daily schedule however needed.
About: I truly love animals and have been around them my entire life. I currently have dogs and cats of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs patience, attention, and love. My home provides a safe and welcoming environment, including a fenced-in yard for dogs to play. My pets are friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and will provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have multiple dogs and cats of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for in a loving home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I currently have four friendly dogs and five cats who are well-socialized and used to being around other animals. I carefully monitor all pets, follow feeding and medication instructions, and provide a loving environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. If for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable with your animals being around mine, my dogs can go to my mother-in-law’s.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals since I was a child for my family and neighbors. My first pet sitting job was watching a cat and a rabbit for my neighbor. As an adult I’ve also had to care for injured dogs and cats. I love animals and want to enrich their lives within my abilities. On a daily basis I take Maggie out several times a day for walks and play sessions in our dog park. Combining my high energy with my love of animals and the outdoors made dog walking a natural choice for a new opportunity for me. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am attentive, playful, accommodating, loving, and so much more. If you have a specific exercise or feeding schedule or ANY specifics that you want me to adhere to I am very detail oriented and happy to oblige.
About: With years of pet care experience, I’m dedicated to providing a comfortable experience for both you and your pet, available all days and all hours to provide the best experience. I’m currently self employed and available any day of the week or hours you may need to provide an experience for your pet any day of the week I provide safety, trust, and a safe environment for pets to be welcomed into. I specialize in dogs and cats both big and small, all fur babies are welcome

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Buckhannon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
