“Christa was able to help us when we needed it! She made sure Chief had a great playtime and potty break during the day. He was his normal playful self when we got home!”
“Ashton was amazing! She stepped in last minute to care for my two cats and made the whole process stress free. I appreciated her quick communication and the care she gave my cats while we were away. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much.”
About: I have lived around dogs all my life, taking care of a variety of breeds from Golden Retrievers to Belgian Malinois. I love spending time with animals and try to bring them the same joy they bring me. I work a full time job Monday to Friday but I usually work remotely on Monday’s and Friday’s. Usually pretty available on the weekends to take care or walk some dogs. I have a fenced yard in my home where your dog will enjoy some play time and potty time. If the dog likes walks or runs I am more than happy to bring them with me in my runs or walks. Dog’s are more than welcome in the house to cool off from the outdoor heat. They can sleep inside or outside however the owner prefers.
About: I have two dogs that I walk and care for each day for 10 years. I have fostered dogs in the past of various ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs. I am a recent UNCW graduate taking a semester off and a dad who is available during school hours. Happy and excited to play with and walk your dogs! I have two senior dogs that I care for everyday so I understand when a dog has specific needs and requirements. I read and follow instructions for each pet!
“Madison was great! Reliable, respectful, good communication. Such a comfort to know she is there to love and care for our pup when we need to be away from home. We already have Madison booked to cone again!”
About: I have experience with loving and taking care off my family pets. Our current household is at 1 dog and 5 cats so I am no stranger to multitasking. I am able to handle dog walking, cleaning a litter box, and maintaining a consistent meal time schedule. All while making sure to get a healthy amount of play time in. I have a consistent schedule that i can pkan around that will allow me to be consistently available to rehular and new pets. And I will take full responsibility for any scheduling conflicts on my part that may affect care. I will have clear communication with the owner about what they want to keep consistent with there pets and how they want they want there house rules maintained.

Growing up i had multiple cats, dogs, reptiles, and other animals. i have always had a passion for caring for animals, and i have 4 years of experience working at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and dog sitting! i am very well versed in animal behavior and body language, and i am also very experienced in medication administration, including shots, as i have a three year old diabetic kitty who receives shots twice a day! i can guarantee your fur baby will be treated just like family with me :) I am a part time college student currently, so I can be super flexible with scheduling! During the summer I am generally completely open, and during the school year I am still totally open besides some morning classes! I am experienced in working with easy and difficult dogs with compassion and patience. i have studied animal behavior in my free time and enjoy working with animals to reinforce good habits and behavior, doing lots of exercise and enrichment time, and of course a lot of cuddles and love!
“Sara was awesome. Patient with our newness to the app and the process, prompt, kind and courteous. Our experience couldn't have been better. Chase and Roman took to her immediately and we felt very lucky to have her for our first Rover experience. Highly recommended.”
About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a student at UNCW and am looking to pet sit during my free time. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about animals, and I would love the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.
“Our pups love Andrea! I can tell they got a lot of energy out when she comes and she is very attentive to their needs. She is also quick to respond to texts and communications and understands our dogs’ personalities well.”
“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”
About: I've taken 3 different veterinary assistant courses and I have previously worked as an overnight kennel technician at a veterinary clinic where I work with small mamals and exotic pets throughout the night. I also have experience at dog tay cares and pet boarding facilities. I am also now certified in pet 1st aid anc cpr for cats and dogs. Helping out with animals is my passion! I will treat your loved ones with the best possible care! I can't wait to meet you're precious babies <3 My current schedule only allows for drop in visits and walks no overnight stays. I am available Monday-Friday 530pm-8:30pm, Saturday anytime and Sundays 1pm-830pm I'm available to administer medication, take animals on walks, house sit in your home, or come in and check in on your loved ones by drop in visits. I will always treat your dog with the very best care. I will treat your dog just how I would want my pets to be treated in other words as family. I have experience with caring for dogs that I can utilize with your babies.
About: I have grown up around animals and am experienced taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have spent the last couple of years learning more about what makes a dog stay healthy and happy. I understand how a pet is a member of your family or your whole world so I will treat them as such. They deserve to be cared for at the standard they would be by you and I will take that responsibility seriously. I have my own dog at home and sometimes life gets busy and I need others to help me. I enjoy doing the same for others by dropping in, walking your dog, or watching them overnight. I have a very dog friendly apartment with its own walking trail to take your pet on a walk. I also have balcony’s overlooking the trail that dogs enjoy sitting on and watching the activity outside. I do have my own dog who is crate trained but he also always wants to play with other dogs. I can keep the dogs separated in my home, or out loose depending on your preference. I have no problem sharing furniture and couches with a fur baby because their comfort is my priority.
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my 2 kitties last minute over Christmas. She did a fantastic job and stopped every day and sent pictures. My kitties were happy and well taken care of and would recommend her and will use her again if needed.”
About: I have spent 3 years employed in pet boarding/doggy daycare, and have lived my entire life around pets. Growing up, i spent a lot of time at the humane society with a family member who worked there, learning all i could! I have had experience in administering medications, feeding, walking, and cleaning up after all sizes and kinds of animals (mostly dogs and cats). I’m currently a college student, and would love to make some money on the side doing what i love the most—caring for animals! I have pet sit multiple times in the past in between and after classes, and look forward to meeting your pet. After walking or playing, i can easily crate or feed your dog, whatever is needed! I love to spend time playing with dogs, and just spending time cuddling with them or petting them overall! I can easily do whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and safe!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and birds since I was 10! Our family has three dogs, one that I’ve personally trained since she was a puppy. My roommate and I also consistently foster kittens until we can find them a forever home I work part time, but short shifts (usually only about 6 hours) and have classes for 2 hour increments every weekday morning. I have more than enough time to make sure every fur baby gets enough care while you’re away! I make sure that every animal gets enough play time and attention as I’m aware ample stimulation is critical for a dogs mental and physical health. I’m more than happy to provide daily walks, playtime and any other things a part of your pets schedule and needs.
“Daniel was so prompt and efficient! He was very flexible to work with my changing schedule to assist with drop-in check-in’s for my dog! I would highly recommend Daniel and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future! :)”

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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 .
