About: Through out my high school and college years, I have been a pet-sitter in various ways for over 100 animals! From labs, to bunnies, to beagles, to cats, to even lizards, I have experience with a wide range of dogs, cats, and other animals. I have given a golden retriever their daily medicine and made sure the beagle I was watching had on his "Thunder Shirt" during a big storm. I'm not afraid of getting a little dirty and cleaning up poop or the occasional vomit, whether outside or in a litter box! I will always keep you updated on how your pet is doing, and will even send pictures and videos if you like. Whatever your pet needs, I can make sure to care for them as if it were you caring for them at home! *PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING! This summer I have a 9-5 schedule with my graduate clinical assignment and if your dog needs supervision or let out in the middle of the day, I may not be a good fit!* I am a full-time graduate student, but my schedule is typically easy to manipulate to accommodate your pet's needs! I can usually be available for mid-day potty breaks and walks. I can also match your pet's meal times, whether they have their breakfast at 5 AM or 10 AM! I can always work with you to assure that your pet's schedule fits perfectly with mine. When visiting your home to stay with your pet or take them out for a walk, I always respect boundaries in your household! I will make sure to return your pet's items to their proper location. Additionally, I will ensure that messes are cleaned up and disposed of appropriately. Your home is also your pet's home, so I strive to maintain it's condition for you and your furry loved one!

All dogs are safe in my care and will have lots of attention. I will be working from home so your pet will get lots of attention and outside any time they want with a fenced in yard. I have a fenced in yard with four dogs for your baby to play with. The yard is big enough for your dog to run and play.

I am currently unemployed as I am preparing to begin my student teaching through Marshall this fall. My schedule is open, other than putting time aside to care for my own furry friends. I feel it is important to constantly ensure that the animal being cared for is comfortable. I plan to reassure your furry friends with positive reinforcement and playfulness. I also plan to uphold quality and safe measures while with the animals. I will make it a priority to send you pictures of your furry friend during my visit!

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 Buffalo 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.
