About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

About: I love updating you on how your furry family members. Sending you photos and fun messages about our activities so have peace of mind knowing your pets are well looked after. As a animal lover and proud cat mom I understand the importance of having someone trustworthy and kind to care for your pets. I look forward to having the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I work during the week, however my varying shifts allows me to offer personalized care for your pets while still being available to manage my other responsibilities. Here's how I fit pet care into my routine: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday: I’m available in the mornings before work for early walks or playtime. During my breaks or after work, I can stop by for midday check-ins or evening walks and feedings. I ensure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise during these times. Thursday & Friday: My later start gives me the flexibility to be around in the mornings and early afternoons for feeding and walks. I’m also free during the early evening before my shift, so I can provide walks, playtime, and check-ins before heading off to work. On these days, I can also do evening visits after my shift ends, ensuring your pet’s routine stays on track. Sundays & Mondays I do not work and I take these days to get in extra cuddles and adventures ensuring your pets know they are loved! Overall Commitment: I understand that like us pets thrive on consistency, so I prioritize pet care and plan my day around making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I'm committed to providing your pets with the best care possible, and my flexible schedule means I can offer plenty of opportunities for walks, feeding, and companionship, even with my work hours. In my experience, pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment. That's why I focus on caring for pets in their own homes. Being in a space they know helps lower their anxiety and makes the transition smoother while you're away. Here’s how I ensure your pet gets the best care: Familiar Environment: I believe that keeping your pet in their own home is key to helping them feel comfortable and secure. They can stick to their usual routine, sleep in their own bed, and remain surrounded by their favorite sights and smells. Personalized Care & Routine: I make sure to follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, walks, and playtime. Whether it’s taking a stroll through their neighborhood or providing special care, I make sure their day feels as normal and enjoyable as possible. Reducing Anxiety: Pets can get anxious when they’re missing their owners, but I’ve found that staying in their own home significantly lowers this anxiety. Taking walks in their familiar neighborhood and sleeping in their own space helps them stay grounded and feel secure. This routine allows them to adjust more easily and experience less stress while in my care. Proximity & Availability: To ensure I can commit to visiting your pet as often as needed, I take on jobs that are within a reasonable distance. This allows me to provide consistent care and frequent check-ins to make sure your pet is happy and well attended to. Communication: I understand how important it is to stay connected with you while you're away. I provide regular updates, including photos or videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured that they are in good hands. Overall Commitment: I am dedicated to ensuring your pet remains comfortable and content while in their own home. By keeping their environment familiar, maintaining a consistent routine, and offering lots of love and attention, I help them feel secure and relaxed until you return.

About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I adhere to the owners household and behavioural rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

About: Hi fellow pet parents! I have grown up having various pets in my household, from cats to birds to bunnies, etc. I am extremely passionate about animals and am a huge animal lover. I am in the process of studying Veterinary Technician in order for me to be in the vet field and help other animals. I love being in every animals company and will be sure to provide them with lots of attention and care while their parents are gone. I currently have open availability! I also have access to a vehicle, so I will be able to make visits in short notice as well! My home is extremely safe as I have other animals at home as well. They will be given a trustworthy, safe home away from home.

About: Growing up, we always had pets in the family, and over the years I've cared for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets with more specialized needs. What I enjoy most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal's personality. Every pet is different, and I like figuring out what each one enjoys most! I enjoy meeting all pets on their own terms. Over the years, I've gained experience with puppy training, recall, enrichment, senior care, and administering oral, liquid, topical, eye, and ear medications. I've also cared for pets with anxiety, seizure disorders, blindness, deafness, and reactivity, so I understand how important patience, routine, and consistency are. The biggest reason I'm on Rover is simple. I genuinely love being around animals. Since moving away for university, one of the things I've missed most is having pets in my everyday life. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a student, I have some flexibility in my schedule when it comes to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On days when have classes, the only long day where I am out of the house for 8 ish hours is Thursdays. I do have a long break on this day from 12:30-3:30, so if needed I can go check up on any pets. As for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays I only have 2-4 hours of class, so I am gone no longer than 5 hours. My availability is fully open on Wednesdays and over the weekend. Please see my availability or send me a message! :) My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away. I believe each pet is unique, so I customize my care to suit their personality and comfort level. If I'm staying in your home, I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well. Right now, I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding.

About: Hi, I'm Julia! Born and raised in London, ON, I've always had a deep love for animals- especially dogs. Growing up surrounded by furry friends, they quickly became a big part of my heart. My passion has always been spending time outdoors and caring for dogs. With years of experience walking and looking after dogs for friends and family, I understand how important exercise and companionship are for keeping them happy and stress-free. I pride myself on building bonds with every pup I meet, treating them with the same care and love I'd give my own. I couldn't imagine life without dogs and feel so lucky to share my days with them. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home which makes this convenient for everyone! I plan my schedule around walks and visits because we all know being with animals keeps us grounded, happy and active every single day! I treat every pet like my own with patience, safety and love. Whether we're walking, playing, or relaxing. From secure leashes to cozy home routines so your pup feels cared for and comfy the whole time!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animal ranging from large dogs and horses to guinea pigs and chinchillas. I even worked on a hobby farm taking care of rams and chickens in Australia! I have owned and cared for animals with specific medical conditions and I am confident in administer different medications and making sure the pet is as comfortable as can be! My family is from Vancouver island and I have recently graduated from Western and currently working in London as a remote Translator/ Editor for an Education Agency ! I am available most days throughout the day, and short notice! I would love to dedicate part of my day to getting to know your amazing furry friends! I am comfortable taking dogs on long hikes or to parks. I often take my family dogs on trail walks and runs and I love taking trips to the dog beach so they can get a swim on hot days. I am familiar with owning reactive dogs and know how to handle and react responsibly to certain stressful behaviors and situations. I own a vehicle with lots of room for bigger dogs and am very familiar with the messy dog car lifestyle :)

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 Delaware 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 .

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 .

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, 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.
