“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came prepared to our meet and greet with a through list of questions about my cat and our home. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date on what was going on with my cat and sent pictures every day. She even brought in my mail, watered my plants, and took out the trash before she left on her last visit. It’s obvious that my cat loved his time with her. I won’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Meghan left great and considerate notes. She took Sawyer on lots of walks. She was very prompt and tidy. I will definitely continue to use her services. She was great!”
“Kaitlyn is a competent and trustworthy pet sitter who's skilled and confident in giving medications and injections. We're so happy that she gave great care to our cats and communicated with us regularly.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Shih Tzus. I currently have a Chihuahua of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and will treat your dog like family while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s specific routine and needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine.
About: We were lucky to have two amazing dogs for 15 and 16 years, caring for them from playful puppyhood all the way through their senior years—including supporting one through cancer. They’ve since passed, and we truly miss having that love and energy in our home. Because of our experience, we’re comfortable and equipped to care for dogs at every stage of life. More than anything, we understand how much your pups mean to you, and we’ll give them the same love, attention, and care we gave our own. I work from home full time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Most weekends we spend time at home playing in our fenced in backyard. At my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. Crates are available if needed, and I make sure pups get plenty of love, attention, and snuggle time. When visiting a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so your dog feels safe and loved in their own environment.
“Eryn was great to work with! She did a great job with my pitbull. She shows great attention to details and goes above and beyond to keep your pet happy. Highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs and pets in general. I am more than happy to take care of your pets. Thank you for this opportunity. Thanks everyone! Pet care fits into my routine once I am able to wake up in the morning. Make sure why dog goes outside to go potty. I have a nice porch that the dogs could relax on if need to. I am willing to care emotionally for them as well. Awrf!
“Our dog loved having Chelsea take care of her! Chelsea threw the ball for her and gave her lots of attention. She is very reliable and we appreciated her help.”
“Morgan was the perfect pet sitter- our cat was better than when we left him! She truly cares for the pets and is extremely responsive/ communicative! Will definitely use Morgan again!”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
“Elena was awesome for drop-ins for my kitty! I really looked forward to her detailed drop-in updates. She was very courteous and was able to to work with my schedule. My kitty seemed to really like her! I will definitely be booking Elena next time I go out of town ?”
About: Hi, my name is Brittany and I love animals. (I'm sure everyone here says that.) I have been volunteering at various shelters for years, as well as fostering dogs and house sitting for dogs, cats, and chickens. I am trustworthy (I have client references if needed) and I take great care to make sure every pet feels love like they should. :) I do request dogs to be house trained. I can offer a nice walk on sidewalks or the trail, or just throwing a ball inside, if your pet is anything like mine was. I’m working from home so there will be a lot of one-on-one time. I’m that someone to water your plants and get your mail while you are away! Big dog people: I love big dogs! If you have a backyard we can play in, perfect! I’m kind of a small human, so walks with a dog that pulls and isn’t 20 lbs is not something I’m comfortable with. Safety for everyone! My standard routine is working from my laptop, occasional grocery trips, lots of watching Hulu and couch cuddle time. I try to take a daily walk around .5 miles but can adjust to shorter or longer walks based on dog needs. I prefer staying at client’s home, I’ve found most pups feel more comfortable that way. A meet and greet is preferred, just a walk through of how you keep your house, how your pup/s like to be cared for, etc. I’m a homebody, pets will be left alone for no longer than a trip to Kroger.
“Kamron was amazing, will definitely book again! He was very communicative and sent pics each visit, and two of my cats needed meds and he had no issue giving them (a pill, liquid oral med, and asthma inhaler). Highly recommend!”
“We love Grace & so does our Kitty. She is so accommodating, and knowing she is checking in with our fur-baby gives us such peace of mind. Use Grace & never look back. An angel on earth!”
“Ryan is great with our dog Wylder. He drops in over the weekend and takes him for walks/potty breaks. He sends photos of him playing and info on what they did. Wylder definitely seems happier and calmer since Ryan has been dropping in.”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from playful Bichons to energetic Labradors, I'm confident your dog will have a safe and happy walk with me. I'm patient, flexible, and have a knack for spotting potential health concerns—plus, I have yet to meet a dog that doesn't become my instant best friend! Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they get the fun, tail-wagging adventure they deserve. Open availability every week, to include weekends and some holidays. I’m super flexible, including last minute scheduling if needed. I understand life can get hectic and busy, let me calm your situation. I have a well kept home, free of any safety concerns. A very clean and clutter free back and front yard for furry friends to Zoom, run jog or roll around!
About: I've forever had a love for dogs. Shadowed in a vet office for two years and have seen animals been given oral meds and other treatments. Have owned several dogs. Currently have 1 dog named Chester. Also have worked with pregnant dogs (my mom has bred several litters). Comfortable with any breed or size. Passionate about every animal not just dogs. I love to go on walks and I'm an excellent trick trainer I might add. I work full time, but I work from home so I am flexible to work with a schedule for feedings and walks. I also can have portable monitor so I can work from other locations besides my home. If I plan to watch you dog overnight, I prefer to do it in the client’s home. Generally, it makes it more comfortable for the dog. Adjustments can be hard and they are already getting used to an unfamiliar face taking care of them. Please do not hesitate to reach if you have fee adjustment requests or questions!
About: 🐾What sets me apart is my professional veterinary experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve been a veterinary technician for 3 years and have a bachelor’s degree in biology , giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness, safely handle pets in stressful situations, and administer oral and topical medications 💊. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and exotic animals , and I’m dedicated to keeping every pet’s routine as consistent and stress free as possible . Whether it’s feeding , walks , playtime , medication , or plenty of cuddles 🥰, I give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would my own. I’m also available to travel for pet sitting , allowing your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in experienced and loving hands. 🐾 Requested Information About Your Pet 🐾 To provide the safest and best care possible, I like to learn about every pet before their stay! Here are a few questions I typically ask: • How many pets will I be caring for? • What is your pet’s personality and temperament? • How do you correct unwanted behaviors? • How do you reward good behavior? • Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications? • What is their daily routine (feeding, potty breaks, walks, bedtime)? • Who should I contact in case of an emergency? • Does your pet have any fears or triggers? • Can your pet be left alone? If so, for how long? • Is there anything else you’d like me to know to help your pet feel comfortable and happy? During the Stay ❤️ Every pet receives individualized care based on their personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, or simply relaxing with cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel loved and entertained. I enjoy using puzzle toys, sniff games, treat scavenger hunts, and interactive play to provide both mental and physical stimulation. As a veterinary technician with 3 years of experience, I’ll also closely monitor your pet for any changes in behavior or health, ensuring they stay safe, comfortable, and happy throughout their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I’m already a vet tech and work with animals every day. Taking care of pets outside of work is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I have to squeeze in. I plan my days so I have plenty of time for each pet—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, or giving medications if needed. I also try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. During the week, I don’t overbook myself because I want to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I’m also flexible and can travel for pet sitting, so your pet can stay in their own space and feel at ease. Overall, caring for animals is just a regular part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and your specific routine, whether I’m in your home or hosting in mine. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and as stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure their space stays clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.) and spend quality time with them so they’re not just being “checked on,” but actually cared for and engaged. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I monitor behavior, eating habits, and overall health closely—something my vet tech experience really helps with—so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Because of my background, I’m also comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and handling younger pets who may need more patience and structure. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel secure and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkston
Daouda did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats while we were out of town! One cat was in a cone while we were gone after having some surgery and the other is on several pills and liquid medication, so caring for them wasn’t the easiest, but Daouda had no problems handling all of it. One of our cats can also be super shy but warmed up to him right away, and both looked very happy in all the photos we received. Even more telling was how relaxed and happy the cats were when we got home. Normally they are very clingy after we’ve been gone and have some residual separation anxiety, but they didn’t have any after this trip. Daouda also brought in an extremely large and heavy package that arrived for us while we were gone so we didn’t have to worry about it sitting outside until we got back, and that was super helpful. We are looking forward to booking him again and recommend him to anyone else looking for a pet sitter!
Meghan was really great with our senior dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which made me feel comfortable seeing that our dogs were happy, playing, and eating. She also communicated promptly if she had any questions. Would definitely recommend Meghan to others, and will be booking her again in the future!
Kailyn was such a great sitter for my cat! She did drop in visits while I was away for about a week and sent regular updates :) I know she was great company for my cat and I appreciated how responsible and on top of everything she was! I will definitely be booking Kailyn again to care for my cat!
Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.

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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
