“Angela is the real deal. If you want someone who is flexible, attentive, and treats your fur babies like royalty, look no further. She was quick with questions/responses, arrived and left our home on time, and met the social and health needs of our dogs brilliantly. We felt at such ease having her with them when we couldn't be, and we can't wait to book her again!”

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I’m currently looking for work so am completely open to do drop-ins during the day, walks, and more. I can also watch your dog at your place or mine! I have a fully-fenced in yard and four dogs who would love a playmate. I have two kennels, and can kennel your dog if need be. I also offer baths depending on length of stay.
About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.
About: I am an absolute dog lover! I recently lost my pit bull Ruby from old age a couple of months ago so I’ve started going over to my sister’s apartment to let her black lab Charlie out to walk everyday! And, it’s helping me not miss my baby as much! I am so loving towards dogs and treat them with the utmost care:) I have had rocky who was a chow mixed with golden retriever and he passed away at 20 from old age. He was my best friend I got when I was 2. Then when my grandpa passed away I got Ruby who was a pit bull and she was my best friend who passed away from old age and a tumor at 18. I loved on them everyday, walked them daily, played with them daily, and the occasional pup cups were necessary. Every dog that comes in my path absolutely loves me and I love them too. They really are angels for us to have on this earth. I am trying I find a way to pay off student debt flexibly with my schedule of music ministering at prisons, high schools, addiction facilities, and leading worship at youth services. I am very intuitive of pets when they are around me so Im able to make sure they are happy and safe. I love giving them love on top of love. I also am very careful with older dogs or dogs with disability and treat them with the upmost patience and gentleness they deserve.
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
“Ashlynn did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were gone. I was so nervous about leaving them and having someone stop by because we have never done it this way before, but she showed up on time for every drop in and she made our animals feel loved while we were gone. She communicated with us very effectively as well. We left for 4 days and when we returned there were no messes to clean up and our pets were so happy to see us, but acted like they were shown plenty of love while we were gone. She made sure to show each of them affection and attention on every visit. And, that says a lot considering we have 3 cats and a dog she was tending to. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to make sure their fur babies have the best care!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Always loved them and gave them the best care possible when needed. I have walked, fed and groomed dogs to the specifications of other people. I wake up, take care of my animals first. I watch the dogs and listen when they tell me when they need something. I also play with them and give them plenty of love. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. I do have stand outside to make sure one of them doesnt get to my cats food. But I do stand out there until they are done and ready to go outside. I also play with them and feed them and give them plenty of love. I will do the same to any dog that comes through my door. I will give them the best care and love I can amd to the owners specifications.

About: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I can come to your house for drop-in visits, walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 4 yr old boxer and she usually comes along with me for in home stays. She gets along well with all other animals and has made lots of furry friends along the way. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!
“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time and understand their needs. I’ve helped rescue many dogs over the years. I have experience helping anxious dogs feel comfortable. I love to take walks and I think dogs make walks even more enjoyable! I understand their basic needs but also understand them on a deeper level if they were to need special attention. I cannot currently care for animals in my home but I am happy to care for them in their home. I am comfortable with whatever level of care your pet requires.
About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life! I enjoy playing, walking, and spending time with dogs and cats. I have also been a sitter for several personal friends and family members. I’m currently on vacation from college, so I can spend as much time as needed with all of my clients! I am available most days, excepting Thursdays and Fridays. I am very comfortable with animals and try to ensure that they are comfortable with me. I walk my large, excitable dog on a regular basis. This experience gives me confidence when I walk other animals.
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong bond I have with animals. I’ve owned pets my whole life, and to me, they’re like children—each one unique, deserving of love, patience, and understanding. I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. I have hands-on experience grooming and training dogs, including working with puppies and supporting senior or disabled dogs who need a little extra attention. For the past two years, I’ve been pet sitting professionally, providing in-home, overnight care where pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, calm, and deeply committed to making sure every pet I care for feels secure, happy, and loved like they’re my own. I do work remote from home Mon-Friday 8-4 and Wednesday 8-1. During this time I can work at your home as long as you have high speed internet I can connect to. I do prefer a very clean home if I’m staying somewhere else. I hope this doesn’t sound rude but I will also leave your home as you left it. I will also strip any sheets if needed and wash. I don’t mind your loved ones sleeping with me if you let them. I actually prefer it! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I’m available any day of the week, and I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for. As long as I have notice, I’m happy to stay overnight and provide consistent care. I may need to step out for up to 3 hours a day if needed, but I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it truly doesn’t feel like a routine, it feels like a passion. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I follow any specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of love and attention, and always make sure they’re emotionally cared for, not just physically. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like you never left—and to treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pets. I do charge for meet and greets if I have to make a trip. You will need to request this as a drop in for the gas and time. I do charge for approved and scheduled sittings that are canceled and disputes will be handled through Rover.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carthage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
