“James is great. He is so easy to work with. We love getting photos of Blue while we are at work. It’s nice to know that our pup has a great friend to spend time with during the day.”
“Amazing, it was nice to go away and feel comfortable that my animals were well taken care of. Cassandra is professional and cares about the animals she has in her care.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs, and my pet's in general for maybe more than 10 years. I was the only one in the house responsible for that since I wanted to have a pet and after that I had the chance to take care of my neighbors and Friends dogs when they were away and they always had a great experience with me and my family. at my place you bed will be well take care of and there's always going to be someone there to play with them and it had a great time with your dog walking playing or socializing with the kids and maybe other pets if they're available that day I'm at home all day, so no need to worry; your pet will have my full attention. My kids and husband are also always around, taking care of the dogs, so you can rest assured when I'm not there. We are a very loving family who will be taking care of your pet all the time. Your pet will have at least 3 to 4 walks a day and playtime many times a day. I work some weekends, and if that's the case when I'm taking care of your pet, you could expect them to be alone for 4 to 8 hours that day, which means 2 walks that day. Once your pet is at my place I will schedule a routine where we could go out three or four times a day and one more time before we I'll go to bed it will have play time and running time around the neighborhood I could drive him to a park close by so he can be safe and always be watched by me so you don't have to be worried about that. I own a dog as well, medium size, very friendly and playful, not neutered, so your pet will have company during the day 😊
“Holly to the rescue! I found myself in hospital. I can bring my service dog with me however I am unable to walk and/or get her food and meds ready. Not that friends are unreliable but lead busy lives. I arranged Holly to have 3 visits during the day to offer Patty relief. I knew she was coming. She is prompt and attentive. She was able to navigate my service dog in a social/public setting anticipating the problems she may face. I can focus on my healing and the worry of meeting Patty's needs are under control with Holly to help. Without her, I would be organizing various people who may back out last minute with their own priorities. Holly has a cheerful demeanor and her work ethic is admirable.”
“Noor was amazing! Our cats are very shy and usually give us a hard time when meeting new people, so we were nervous about leaving them but Noor was so diligent and loving with them that they warmed up to her quickly. Noor has definitely earned us as loyal customers!”
“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was very friendly, reliable, and took great care of our cats while we were away. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the photo updates—it gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Andrea and will happily book with her again!”
“Thank you Shannon for looking after our two cats again this Christmas! It is always comforting when they are in your care while we are away. Shannon always makes sure to give our cats love and attention, so we know they are safe and happy.”
About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.
“Riley was absolutely wonderful. She sent me regular updates, videos and photos. My pet was so happy when I returned; she made him feel like his owners were never away! I would recommend Riley as a pet sitter to anyone who wants the best possible pet care :)”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My pets are my family and I will make sure your fur baby is also treated like my own! I have had senior cats, puppies, fish and have a love for all animals❤️ I am a health care provider for older adults and in my free time I love to spend time with animals!! Send a message and we can chat! I have a fenced yard and a sweet two year old potcake Maizie who loves other dogs and would love to spend time with your pup!
About: I have had my beloved cat for 10 years, and we brought in our dog in 2021. I am incredibly interested in holistic animal care, and implement holistic care as much as I can in my own personal regime for both my cat and dog. I share a deep connection with animals and truly believe that they choose each of us as their stewards, as family. I'm currently a self-employed Licensed Paralegal and have a fairly flexible schedule depending on the noticed provided. I'm solely available for drop-invisits, and do not offer boarding at this time. I am happy to spend time playing with your animals and giving them attention in the comfort of their own home! I'm also able to provide them with food so long as instructions are provided ahead of time and clear. I'm capable of managing larger dog breeds such as labradors (crating, playing outside in a backyard, etc.), however I will not manage giant dogs (Great Danes, etc.). I love deeply connecting with animals, and providing them with one-on-one attention and playtime.
“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.
About: I've had pets my whole life but it wasn't until I adopted a dog of my own that I truly learned what it means to care for one. I now have experience with reactive and fearful dogs, counter conditioning, desensitization, and canine enrichment. I just received notice of an indefinite layoff so I will have all the time in the world to do something I genuinely enjoy. I feed both my dog and foster dog using enrichment tools(snuffle, puzzle, Kong, find it) trim their nails with a Dremel weekly, give them meds daily. They're always so excited for their daily walks, rain or shine. Though our foster boy needs to be bundled up to handle the cold. I believe following a routine is important. Pets will be fed when they're used to, given meds as prescribed by your vet. Light grooming if requested (I may charge for more challenging grooms. Details can be discussed). If your dog is afraid of nail trims, brushing or anything else, we can work together on cooperative care to make necessary care less stressful for them.
About: I've walked Dobermans to Daschunds and everything in between. From large dogs to toy breeds, I am equipped to handle all your dogs walking needs I'm currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to look after your pup. I have a Morkie myself and will treat yours the same as mine...with lots of pampering! if necessary, I have a fenced in back yard with lots of space to run and play. Your dog will be well looked after in my care.

Miryam did an amazing job caring for our two cats during our honeymoon. She was able to befriend our shy boy and is an excellent communicator. We appreciated the updates we received with each visit. Our home was well cared for while we were away. And she was able to give our eldest cat his puffers.

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 Fonthill 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.
