About: Hi, my name is Pei! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dedicated rescuer with extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with everything from rabbits and rodents to cats and large dogs. My journey started with a German Shepherd, and I also cared for two beloved rabbits for eight wonderful years. Our day starts early with a peaceful routine. After I’ve tended to my cats and the chicken coop, the dogs head out into our two-acre yard. For guest dogs, outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash (or a long-line) to ensure they stay safe near our forest boundary. Adventure & Exercise: We are an active household! I love exploring trails like Crane or Hanlon. While my Bernese Mountain Dog enjoys off-leash time, I only take guest dogs to off-leash parks or on hikes if I have the owner's explicit permission and I am confident in the dog's recall. Otherwise, we enjoy wonderful, long 'sniffaris' on-leash through the forest trails right behind my house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 10 years since they’ve been in my life. I have experience with 3 large dogs at a time and have lots of time for walks and running around. My golden lab is a very well trained duck dog and great with all other dogs. Have a dog that needs lots of walks so I’m out a couple times a day with her. I work from home so I am always around to let dogs out and give them attention when needed. I have a fenced yard which makes it easy for potty breaks, also have experience walking multiple dogs at a time with out any issues

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

About: As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

About: I take care of the elderly and there pets with walking/cleanings and in general good company. I love going for walks just as much as all the pets I've went on walks with and playing catch is a great excersize/past time. I have a part time job and looking to fill in the gaps with some well needed excersize and more income ofcourse. It also helps with networking and making friends while im out and about. When my new location is updated we will have our own fenced in environment not just for your fur baby but also our own in the home so that they can go outside and play while getting the company they need. There is also security cameras and a constant flow of water to help hydrate them during the hot days.

About: My name is Mel, I work part-time as a crew lead for a small landcare company in town and am currently seeking other fun, creative ways to fill up my schedule. I'm new to the Rover app but not to pet care. Please see photos from my House Sitting account of my reviews from that app :) Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and have a deep respect for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I bring calm, compassionate energy to every animal I care for. With a lifetime of experience, I’m most familiar with dogs but also comfortable with cats, birds, fish, and even farm animals like goats, sheep, miniature horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more. I understand that each animal has their own personality and needs, and I always meet them with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether you’re looking for someone to take your dog on a peaceful walk, a brisk trail hike or need a reliable presence at home while you’re away, I’d love to help care for your beloved companions. Please feel free to contact me if what I have to offer is in alignment with your needs. I’m currently have open availability, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pup needs a gentle walk, your cat needs a cuddle and a check-in, or your animals need loving care while you're away, I’d be happy to help keep them comfortable and cared for. When it comes to entering your home I like to make sure myself and your pet have an initial meet and greet to get used to me coming by. I know how important it can be for some animals to become familiar with strangers in the home and I want to make sure both pet and owner are comfortable with this. I can appreciate kind, clear communication when it comes to you and your pets needs. I'm happy to accommodate any specific care requests.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am always first to volunteer to take care of my friends and families dogs, and I love to do it!

I do work full time during the week, but I am available some mornings, in the evenings and on the weekends depending on what you need. At my home, we have a fully fenced backyard with lots of running space! I also have one dog myself who is very friendly, but can be kept separate if preferred.

About: As a vet student at OVC with over 1,000 hours of professional animal experience, I offer a level of care most sitters can’t. Between my clinical background as a veterinary assistant and my time working at a dog daycare and training facility, I’m deeply experienced in reading dog behavior, managing puppies, and caring for seniors. I’m also the Junior Canine Representative for the OVC Animal Behaviour Club, so I use positive, patient handling techniques to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled! As a current vet student, pet care easily fits into my daily life outside of my class and clinical schedule! I structure my days around pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks, making sure your pet’s routine stays completely consistent. ​Whether it’s early morning walks before my morning lectures, afternoon drop-ins and medication visits between classes, or dedicated evening companionship and play, I build my routine around giving your pet reliable, attentive care. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for drop-ins and walks, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it would be if you were home. Thanks to my vet school training and daycare experience, I tailor my care to what each individual animal needs.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own! I was able to care for and train the 9 puppies they had. I have also taken care of senior dogs, cats of all ages, and kids My routine revolves around pet care without question. When I wake up I make sure to take my dogs for a walk, given their medication, and food. The pets come before anything else I make sure there is clear communication between the client and I. Many pets have their own schedule and I will follow that. I believe with communication, there is nothing that could go wrong.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with pets for many years: a rabbit for 7 years, a bulldog for 14 years, and a cane corso for 9 years. Sadly, all of my beloved pets have now passed on, leaving me with lots of extra time and plenty of love to give. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same patience, attention, and affection I gave my own. With years of hands-on experience, you can feel confident knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I can also be flexible with different schedules and routines. I am able to follow any special instructions or rules the owner has set out when caring for pets in their own homes. Safety is very important and some pets may require extra attention or more guidelines than others.

About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Aikensville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aikensville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

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.
