About: Hey! Thank you for your interest, my name is Anaiah, and I am a full time animal caregiver. I have learned a lot through care for my own animals, as well as a boarding facility for animals where I had a lot of different experiences. I have been dog walking and house sitting for clients professionally for a year, that have led to plenty of unbroken bonds and connections. I take pride in caring for all pets and homes like they are my own. I love to watch the bond between animal and human form, especially when it’s with me. I offer services for dogs, cats, fish, and your home. I hope I am what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out with any questions, comments and/or concerns! Give your baby a big hug from me in the meantime! My week is open, I do pick up little projects here and there so that’s why I like a notice, but this is my full time job! I do not offer in my home sitting, but in your home I vow to never leave a mess and leave your pet happy, tired and well cared for. I have never and will never enter a room or part of your home unless you specifically tell me to. You will receive a detailed text message once I leave your home about what we did and how their bathroom schedule looked. I will never show up earlier than needed and will always leave once the full service time is up, unless a circumstance calls for me to stay longer which in that case I would let you know ahead of time.
About: There’s nothing sweeter than seeing a happy dog having fun and feeling content, safe and cared for. They bring unconditional love and devotion into our lives. This is a gift they give to us and they should be valued, rewarded and cared for properly all their lives. I have volunteered as a dog walker for Horse Creek Dog Villa for almost 2 years. I enjoy it as much as the dogs, if not more! I've been vetted with a background check by them as well as Rover. My family and I love and care for our pets as family because they are; they just have different body types. :) I've had cats ever since high school; I can't imagine my home without them. From kittens to seniors; I've lovingly cared for my cats through all stages to end of life. I prepare their food myself and keep them feeling safe and secure. I will responsibly and lovingly care for your pet and look forward to providing this service for your family. I look forward to discussing your pet's individual needs and care plan in order to make them as happy and comfy as possible while they wait for your return home to them. I also provide house sitting based on the services needed. I will provide care for your pets based on their individual needs and care plan. I look forward to discussing what makes your pet/s special and what the requirements are for their care. I would like to get to know them and have them look forward to my visits with them. I know what it's like to have to be away from home as I traveled to care for my parents. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were cared for properly and I will see that you have this same level of confidence in my services. Pets are like people and have unique personalities, preferences and needs. Some are outgoing, some are shy and everything in between. Please let me know what your pets enjoy, what makes them feel safe and content and the fun things they like to do.
“Amaya did a wonderful job watching my cats on short notice. She took lots of pictures and played with them both and gave them a lot of pets for me while I was away. She always does a fantastic job, thank you so much!”
About: Huge animal lover. I currently have 2 dogs and 6 cats. I have worked with animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in veterinary hospitals as an assistant and in reception and I've also worked in ER clinics since I was 18. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter for about 4 years. I absolutely love animals and I am so excited to spend time with yours! I will always treat your animals with compassionate loving care! I will take lots of pictures for you, and give them lots of love!!! I also love bunnies, cats, reptiles, etc.. basically any kind of animal, so keep that in mind if you have one of those also needing some love while you are out of town! I keep my animals on veterinary recommended flea/tick products year-round, as well as being up to date on all vaccinations and regular deworming. Feel free to ask any questions! I have recently moved to Tennessee from Washington state, and so now I currently have a free schedule! I will be available during most holidays as well. Please let me know your routine and I will follow your instructions as needed for your pup. I am able to give medications/injections if needed as well.
About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
“Absolutely amazing! They came out for a meet and greet which is a huge plus for me. My dogs loved them. Their first visit was great, followed my instructions to a T, took lots of pictures, and their communication is on point. Most importantly my puppies were happy when I got home. I will definitely be using them again!”

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 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
