“This was my second time asking Alyce to take care of my cats, and she was soooo kind again. She followed all the instructions carefully and sent me so many cute photos of my cats during each visit. After a long trip, it was such a joy to come home and see my happy cats. I’m really grateful for her care and would happily ask her to help again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, from puppies to seniors, I love working with all dogs!! I've trained puppies and have experience giving dogs medications, walks, etc. :) I work from home full-time so I am able to give your dog a supervised, comfortable, and fun and environment to spend time in while you are out & about living life! I have a fenced in backyard as well as one friendly dog of my own, which can keep your furry friend company throughout the day. I am available anytime of day and would be so honoured to take care of your loved ones.
About: I have had 5 dogs during my life and always either 2 or 3 at a time… It’s gone from big to small, with our german shepherds, Australian shepherds and our little mini schnauzer. I have watched them grow up and grow old, so i’m aware of challenges with senior dogs as well as puppies. I’m very active and love to go on walks! Most importantly I love dogs in general. I’m currently doing a full time masters program but have evening availability for your pup and occasionally free mornings/afternoons. Please reach out and we can figure out dates and times! My dogs aren’t currently living with me as I am at school, so your dog(s) will have lots of one on one time with me
About: With 12 years of professional pet care experience, I've worked in dog daycare, obedience training, dog walking companies, and overnight pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm experienced with administering medication and caring for senior pets with special needs. I believe every pet is unique, so I work closely with owners to ensure your furry friend gets the safe, loving care they deserve while you're away. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to move my shift around as needed to suit your pets needs. Your pets needs come first to ensure they are happy and healthy. I have 2 friendly cats but only one (Whiskey) will show face during your pets visit in my home. I have an unfenced yard with a tie out that gives your pet tons of space to roam the yard. My yard backs onto the woods and is away from the road. Your pet will always be monitored in my home and will never be left unattended. In your home, I will follow your guidance and continue your pets routine however that may look.
About: I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, including reactive dogs, leash pullers, and high-energy dogs, and I adjust my approach based on their behaviour and comfort level. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training and sticking to routines to keep dogs happy and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have a consistent routine and can plan my day around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m reliable and make it a priority to stick to each pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are safe at all times, follow any specific instructions closely, and keep a clean and calm environment. I’m very attentive to details like doors, leashes, food, and water to ensure everything is secure and comfortable for the pet. My goal is to build trust so pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts for the last 20 years. It started with family friends and eventually my name spread. I have cared for animals of all sizes, from pocket dogs to giant breeds. I have cared for puppies and kittens, and senior animals, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past and built some experience working with animals that required medication in both needle and pill form. My greatest asset is my ability to match your schedule as closely as possible, helping ensure your animal experiences minimal disruption and stays as relaxed as possible. I own a content marketing business and I am able to work flexible hours. This means I can meet pet care needs whenever and wherever you need. My work schedule can work around you and your pet. When I look after animals in client homes, I leave the smallest foot print possible. My focus is on your pet. I will respect the rules and boundaries you have set for them and keep your home as you left it. Other than a happy pet, there will be no other signs that I was there.
About: I provide safe, patient, and loving care for pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on reliability, clear communication, and gentle handling. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable attention and flexible care based on each pet’s specific needs and routine. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior, and provide gentle supervision at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain routines, and ensure pets receive attentive, trustworthy care.

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 Pitts Ferry 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.
