About: I have 12+ years experience working with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I grew up caring for pets of all types. In high school I was the go to neighborhood dog sitter and I was an intern with a local dog trainer for a year. I currently have three dogs and I help to care for my sister’s cats and dog while she’s at work. If you are looking for compassionate, safe and reliable care for your pets, look no further. I’d love to help. As of now, I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anytime in the morning until 2:30pm. I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide loving, attentive care while following your pet’s routine and any special instructions. I ensure dogs get safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and fresh water, and I make sure cats receive companionship, playtime, and care in a calm environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Loretta watched our two kitties while we were away and we were so pleased with how well our kitties were cared for! She truly loves animals and tried to play with them despite their shyness. Her descriptions at each visit were thoroughly outlined as if you were there with your pets. We will definitely be using her in the future for when we need a pet sitter. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Allyson take care of our pets overnight, and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She looked after our cat, Willow, and our two dogs, Elsa (a German Shepherd) and Bruno (a Yorkie), and she did a fantastic job. Allyson was attentive and caring, making sure that each of our pets received the love and attention they deserve. She fed them on schedule and took them out for bathroom breaks without any issues. I really appreciated her dedication to their well-being. She even checked in on our hermit crabs! I highly recommend Allyson for anyone needing pet care services. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares for animals. Thank you, Allyson, for taking such great care of Willow, Elsa, and Bruno!”
“Maria is absolutely the best! When she is caring for our Ollie, our minds are completely at ease. She knows how he likes to cuddle, the snacks he likes and what he likes to play with! Thank you, Maria for easing our minds when we are away from home!”
About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!

About: Hi! I’m Meaghan, a 24 year old college student, and I’ve been working in veterinary medicine since 2022 as both a Veterinary Assistant and CSR. Through my work in vetmed, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs, personalities, and routines. I have also helped my aunt with her dog-walking and drop-in pet care business, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs in their own homes and keeping them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to give plenty of love, playtime, walks, and belly rubs. 🐾 I'm currently a full-time student and looking to fit in pet care inbetween commitments as I miss my day-to-day in vetmed. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits in your pet’s own home and neighborhood. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout every visit.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
About: I love for animals, I’m reliable and provide attentive care. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, giving your pet one-on-one attention, fun playtime, and plenty of affection.

I always provide photo updates, cuddle time, and play sessions so you know exactly what your pet is up to while you’re gone. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like one of my own. 🩷 Whether you need daily doggy day care, extended boarding, or house sitting while you travel, I’ve got you covered! I’m flexible with drop off and pick up times and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Feel free to message me if you’re interested, I’m happy to see if it’s a good fit! I always make sure to follow client care instructions closely in order to maintain the pet’s routine and comfort. I go beyond and above to keep things clean, calm, and consistent with refilling food and water, scooping litter boxes, and making sure your pet feels loved and secure until you’re home again.

About: Hi! I’m Savannah, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a reliable routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is my full-time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and consistent care throughout the day.

About: I love caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! My family calls me the “dog whisperer” and I’m highly reliable and can almost always meet your time requirements for check-ins and walks! I pay attention to detail in case your dog has to take medication or has other restrictions (diet, joints, etc.). I currently work full-time as a Law Enforcement Professional. I am typically working Tues-Fri 7a-530p. I am available to drop in and care for your fur babies any time around that schedule with proper notice. I will only walk your fur baby on the requested route should there be one, and for the requested time. During check-ins, I will make sure to clean up any messes made by your fur baby upon arrival and before I leave. If there are any special instructions regarding the care of your fur baby, I will be sure to adhere to those as well.
About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
