“After 7 days, the cat scolded me at the door for being away but appeared fine otherwise. After a recent health scare, I was worried he'd be traumatized - not the case. Expecting him to demand food I was surprised that he ignored a small offering and focused on cuddling like the old guy I'd left. I would not hesitate to use Samantha in the future especially since she'd managed his meds effectively.”

About: Hi! I'm Shazmin. I believe animals are family, and I care for every companion with kindness, patience, and respect. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and turtles, and I understand that each has unique needs and routines. Whether your companion needs exercise, enrichment, or a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide thoughtful, reliable care so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away I've always had a special place in my heart for animals and love spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, sniffing every tree along the way, or simply having a companion by their side, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing every pup with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashing at all times, and avoid unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I treat both your pet and your space with respect, carefully following all instructions for feeding, medication, and care. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is a safe, calm, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have my own dog, whom I’ve trained and care for every day, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient and responsible, and I'll treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in Teachers College, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love staying active and working out, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise with your pet while also giving them lots of attention and care. Some things to note about my schedule: As mentioned, I am currently in teachers college. I’m in a placement from September 21–October 26, Monday–Friday from 9:00–3:30, but I do have an hour lunch break each day, so I may be able to work something out depending on what time you’re looking for. I’ll also be away for school November 14–December 18 to which I won’t be available. Then I’ll have another placement January–February. Outside of those times, I have more flexibility. I’ll provide care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep up with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, while giving them lots of attention and making sure their home is kept clean and secure.

“Jessica visited our cat while we were away for a week. It was the first time we left our cat alone for such a long time so I was a bit worried. After every visit Jessica sent us pictures and updates on how our cat was doing. When we came back everything was perfect and the cat was fine. I recommend Jessica and will use her services again.”

About: In my pet care experience, I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment where animals can thrive. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s training energetic puppies or providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, I adapt my methods to ensure every furry friend feels comfortable and cherished. One of my special skills is training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to instill good behavior and strengthen the bond between owner and pet. I understand the importance of consistency and patience in fostering healthy habits from a young age. Additionally, I have extensive experience in senior pet care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and offering companionship to ease any anxiety or discomfort. I recognize the significance of maintaining routines and adapting care plans as pets age, ensuring they receive the attention and support they deserve in their golden years. Overall, my commitment to compassionate care, coupled with my expertise in training puppies and caring for senior pets, distinguishes me as a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. I take pride in creating enriching experiences for both pets and their owners, fostering trusting relationships built on mutual respect and affection. As someone who is not employed, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, enriching my life with purpose and joy. My schedule revolves around providing attentive care and companionship to furry friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Each day begins with a morning routine focused on feeding, walking, and engaging in playtime with the pets under my care. I prioritize their needs, whether it’s administering medication, practicing training exercises, or simply offering cuddles and affection. Throughout the day, I maintain regular check-ins to ensure the well-being of the animals, incorporating additional walks, outdoor excursions, or interactive toys to keep them stimulated and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll through the park or a cozy afternoon spent lounging together, I dedicate quality time to building trusting relationships with each pet. In the evenings, I wind down with soothing activities such as grooming, gentle massage, or quiet snuggle sessions, fostering a sense of calm and relaxation for both myself and the pets. Bedtime rituals include ensuring comfortable sleeping arrangements and providing reassurance for any anxious or restless animals. On a weekly basis, I prioritize tasks such as grooming, vet appointments, and replenishing supplies to maintain the health and well-being of the pets in my care. Additionally, I allocate time for ongoing training and enrichment activities, fostering mental stimulation and physical fitness for continued growth and development. Overall, pet care is not just a responsibility but a fulfilling passion that shapes my daily and weekly routine. By providing unconditional love and support to animals, I find purpose and fulfillment in creating meaningful connections and enriching lives, both theirs and mine Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are paramount in my approach to dog walking. I understand that entrusting your beloved furry companion to someone else requires a high level of confidence and peace of mind. That’s why I prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for every dog in my care. Safety is always my top priority. I meticulously assess walking routes to avoid busy streets and potential hazards, ensuring each outing is both enjoyable and risk-free. Additionally, I adhere to leash laws and maintain control over the dogs at all times, mitigating any potential conflicts or accidents. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the dogs and their owners. I cultivate open communication and transparency, providing regular updates and feedback to keep owners informed and reassured. By building trust through consistent reliability and professionalism, I strive to become a valued and trusted partner in their pet care journey. Environment plays a crucial role in fostering a positive experience for dogs during walks. I seek out peaceful, natural settings where dogs can explore, exercise, and engage their senses freely. Whether it’s a serene trail through the woods or a lively park filled with exciting sights and smells, I tailor each walk to cater to the unique preferences and energy levels of the dogs in my care. In essence, my dog walking profile revolves around creating a nurturing environment where safety is upheld, trust is earned, and dogs can thrive both physically and emotionally. By providing attentive care, fostering open communication, and prioritizing the well-being of every furry friend, I aim to deliver a dog walking experience that exceeds expectations and brings joy to both dogs and their owners alike.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Zephyr

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 Zephyr 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.
