About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and a cat, so I have daily experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’ve also cared for sick cats in the past, giving me experience with providing extra attention, monitoring their well-being, and following specific care needs. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I work from home and deal with multiple pets every day. I can easily make time during a lunch hour, after work or even if you need a stay I can try to work it into my schedule. As a pet parent myself I understand the need for wanting to get your babies to the bathroom and have someone to be with them if youre gone for more than you want to be so I can always try to work something into the schedule to take care of them. I play with my dogs outside and take them for multiple walks daily. One of them loves to play fetch nonstop and the other loves to be chased so we cater to each of their playtimes individually. My older dog is adopted and I have been working diligently with him as he attention barked nonstop when we first got him and now he rarely does. I understand the individuality of pets and how each pet has different needs and desires. My cat is a big cuddler as well so I'm always hanging around her when its food time and cuddling her whenever I get the chance so she never feels left out
“Ashton was wonderful, making sure to provide timely communication and photos of each visit. Ashton demonstrated sensitively to each dog’s needs and personality, and our dogs enjoyed her company. We enjoyed the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We appreciated her conscientiousness and reliability! She followed our requests while also demonstrating adaptability for each visit, including changes in weather, schedule and the temperament of each of our three pups. We will definitely be using Ashton’s services again!”
About: I have been a dog owner (small. medium, large, house and sporting breeds) for 55 years and cat owner for 10 years. It is my passion to now take care of others pet needs. I am now retired and have plenty of time to help other manage the love of their pets when they are not available to do so. I cannot take care of pets in my home at this time. I rent and have 3 pets, significant other, a daughter and a grandson in the house.
“Robert was fantastic! He was reliable, communicative, and took great care of Nelly while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in good hands made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. Nelly seemed happy and comfortable with him, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’d absolutely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of pets ever since I was young. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, farm animals..pets are family and should be cared for as such! I love being around furry friends and have experience caring for all ages. I am comfortable administering medication with dogs and cats. I currently have an open schedule as I am transitioning in careers. I do prefer a little notice so I can make sure I’m fully available. Pets are part of the family and are treated as such. I would get details on each pet to ensure I’m caring for them the way they normally are.
About: Ive taken care of animals my entire life. I am patient which is needed when it comes to animals. I have a passion for fur babies. I will treat your pets as my own.

I make sure there is nothing hazardous around that the animals could get into. Make sure i am keeping them inside if i open the door. Cleaning up after them.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional experience working in veterinary care, as well as previous experience walking dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic adults to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I especially enjoy dog walking because I love getting outside, giving pets some enrichment and exercise, and seeing how happy they are afterward. Of course I’m here for the puppy kisses and cuddles too! My veterinary experience has given me experience with a variety of pets and their individual needs, including administering oral medications and topical medications. I also have personal experience caring for a deaf dog, so I understand the importance of adapting communication and care to each pet. I’m comfortable walking dogs up to 100 lbs and have some basic training knowledge that I can incorporate into everyday interactions. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. My goal is to provide dependable daytime walks and drop-in visits while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll treat your pets like individuals, respect their routines, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I’m an animal lover with professional veterinary experience and previous experience working as a dog walker. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m especially interested in daytime dog walks and drop-in visits on my available days. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because of my veterinary background, I’m familiar with paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing, and I take each pet’s individual needs seriously. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape risks, and I’ll make sure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit. I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications when needed. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, triggers, and anything else that will help me provide safe and comfortable care.
“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”

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 .

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.
