“Uriah has been a huge help for me checking in on the dogs while I’m at work! She is reliable and does a great job keeping me updated throughout the day! Would recommend her for your pet needs.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals and pet sitting for friends and family from a young age gave me a strong foundation in providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, including feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure. As the owner of a reactive and anxious Labradoodle and a strong-willed Golden Retriever mix, I have firsthand experience working with dogs that require extra patience, awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m familiar with clicker training techniques, leash reactivity management, and creating calm, positive experiences during walks and visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, attention, medication, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time for early morning or evening drop-ins during the week and open availability on weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the importance of following routines, administering medications correctly, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. As the owner of an anxious, reactive dog, I’m experienced in handling pets who need extra patience and attention. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated throughout every visit for added peace of mind.
“Carolyn is the sweetest! She cared for my golden retriever right after an unexpected surgery. She made sure my pup had the proper post op care (meds, incision care, cold compresses, etc.) while I was away at work. My dogs love her and I will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
About: Since the age of 10 i’ve been independently taking care of many dogs, including strays and rescues. Years later i now work with animals professionally. I am trusted by clients to care for there pets needs while they are away. I focus on walking, feeding, cleaning behind them, sometimes bathing, and after weeks of training under a few vet technician’s I can now confidently medicate both dogs and cats when needed in any way. I have always loved dogs, throughout my years i’ve rescued many and have been trusted by my neighbors to bathe their dogs when they aren’t able to, while also giving simple nail trims if they meet my safety requirements. Caring for others pets i have learned to put my safety first while also ensuring the animals i deal with are also okay. Dealing with borders on a regular, i sometimes notice that some dogs would be more comfortable at home and i would love to ensure that! I am currently working part time, So after lunch i have a good amount of time to care for other pups from midday until late afternoons mostly on Wednesdays to Fridays starting from 2:20-9:30 pm, those times will allow me to properly care for your baby’s without any worry! I am accommodating, i’m very open to how clients would like their fur baby’s to be taking care of. If the pet has a schedule i will happily try my best to stick close to the schedule. Whether that includes a specific time to walk, feed, or for them to be kenneled. If the dog gets dirty i do have much experience with simple bathing, i am not an experienced groomer but i can offer a simple scrubbed down bath.
“Tenashia is responsive, reliable, and took great care of my two cats. She even kept their eating spots so nice and clean! I highly recommend Tenashia, and I will definitely be booking wirh her again in the future.”
“Above and beyond. Amazing. I was in a hurry and put in the wrong address and by the time we connected she was on her third try. She went back to our house after midnight to make sure my dog was taken care of and did it with grace and aplomb. I can’t say enough good things about Tylyn.”
About: Our home consists of my husband and myself. We all love friendly fur friends and will ensure an at home feeling for yours. Plenty of toys and funtime available. When they get all tuckered out, they are welcome to claim a comfy spot on the couch or bed. Feel free to bring a written list of a routine schedule your fur baby has grown a custom to, especially for overnight and long stays. We are available anytime except most major holidays, but some exceptions can possibly be made so feel free to inquire if needed. Also please be aware that if you bring toys, of the possibility of another dog chewing or destroying it. Also please remember to bath and treat for fleas and other parasites before bringing in order to keep our home pest free. I work a flexible schedule from home, so I'm always available for weekly daycare and most weekend needs as well. I also offer overnight stays. I'm always with your fur baby both inside and outside of my home. I respect your baby's routine, so please feel free to provide instructions.
About: Have had pets since I was young. Experience with a variety ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents. Newborn to seniors and special needs. Recently stopped working and soon to be an empty nester when my daughter leaves for grad school. This will give me pretty much open availability. Will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own but with your instructions. They will never lack for love and attention.
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since my parents got me my bird at 2 years old. My absolute love and dedication to his care kick started my life of loving animals, starting out with volunteering for several years at Acadiana Animal Aid and fostering cats and dogs through them as well. I started dog walking and pet sitting at 11 and I’ve now taken care of more animals than I can list. I am extremely passionate about my love of all animals and I will treat your pets with the love and dedication I believe every animal deserves! I am a full time student at UL but I am open in the mornings, afternoons and nights! During the month of December I am on my winter break so I will be open with full availability during the weekdays and weekends. Whether you need your pets let out during the day while you’re at work or if you’d like them to be brought to the park or a walk around your neighborhood, I’m here for you! I have reliable transportation that is large enough to fit even the biggest of dogs. I also have plenty of experience with medically complex animals, so I’d be able to give medicine or help out in whatever way they would need!
“London was great! She was very prompt, followed all my instructions, and stayed for the full hour during each visit. She fed both of my cats their wet food, gave my older cat her asthma medication, and spent time playing with them. Would book again and recommend!”
About: Hey hey Rover!! My name is Alexandra. I just started back up after 3 years, and I worked for Rover for about 5 years before! I am an actress, singer, and bartender living out of Lafayette, LA right now. :) I have lived in Atlanta (where I started with Rover) and I am from Memphis (where I worked ALOT for Rover)! I absolutely adore animals, and I take great care in providing for their needs, and I love going for walks myself. I am very much an outdoors woman, and once the Dalmatian (Eli) that I used to babysit ran/walked 2 miles with me, I figured out how to use up a lot of that energy! :) In my opinion, dogs (well animals in general) are little personalities, all different and unique, just like you and me. I will care for what is yours as though they were my own. Would love to talk more! I currently am a freelancer/contractor, so I can absolutely make the time for babysitting with your babe! My schedule is planned out pretty far in advance, and it’s flexible. :) I have a sweet, lovely, female 4 year old Ragdoll mix kitty, and she’s the absolute sweetest! Only dogs and male cats she’s ok with! I have a great space with a backyard against a tree line so I’ll make sure your babe is on a leash if we go out! I live on the first floor as well in a very safe quant apartment building. It’s not like the normal big apartment complex.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I have friends and family that have relied on me to take care of their pets. I also have experience as a dog kennel tech. I'm currently unemployed so I have plenty time to care for your pets. I'm available all throughout the day Monday through Friday, but Tuesday mornings I have appointments. I've taken care of family and friends dogs all my life and I have 2 senior dogs of my own. We can go on walks or if you have a fenced yard that's perfect for playing!
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love and passion for animals. I have a natural ability to connect with pets and make them feel comfortable and loved. My attention to detail and commitment to providing exceptional care also make me stand out. My clients can trust that their furry friends are in the best hands with me. I take pride in going above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of every pet I care for. 🐾 I’m currently not working at the time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies while you are away! Let me know how many times they need to checked on at your home and I will take care of the rest! While you are away, I will be coming to your house to check on your pets as many times as they need. When I am with your pets I will make sure they are comfortable, much loved, and very well fed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
