About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract.

“Our second time booking with Maria and we’re just as happy! She’s reliable and keeps very good communication on everything. Our shy guy is starting to get used to her too, which is awesome she takes the time to build on that. Next time we’re gone I will gladly book with her again! She’s great!”
About: I have a special needs pup, so am good at giving medication and doing physical therapy exercises. I am also an outdoor enthusiast who is extremely patient, so I will take your dog out on the trail (if ok) and let them smell things as long as they want and provided it is safe to sniff! I do work a full time job, but remotely. I prefer morning, evenings, or weekends. And if I'm pet sitting, I will make sure to stick around and give your pet some attention- even during work days as I can work remotely! I follow medications and schedules. I will walk dogs I'm pet sitting a minimum of twice a day with let out in the middle of the day. I also believe attention, if the animal wants it, is important!
“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. What even is life without a furry friend? Me and Archie are looking to make some new furends! We love to Netflix and chill but are open to going for longer walks & have tons of toys to play with! I work a normal 9-5 so I prioritize my mornings and afternoons for the furry friends.

May or may not talk to them like they are babies (which they 100% are) I currently work full-time at an elementary school, so this is only a weekend gig. That being said, I love going to watch and walk dogs of all kind!! Typically when I’m walking a dog, I make sure the dog goes at its own pace. It’s the dogs walk, not mine.

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”

Cindy is a good kind person and someone I felt very comfortable with taking care of my cat when I was away. She followed instructions explicitly and kept me informed whatever she came by via text and pictures. I was so happy that I chose Cindy and will certainly do so in the future as well.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
