“I was really nervous about leaving my sweet little guy for the weekend but with Bailey on the job I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and her photos after each check in showed just how happy he was. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have one dog he is 16 weeks old currently his name is marshmallow and he’s a frenchie baby , I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 12 I’m now 24 almost 25 , I have 13 years of experience , ranging from pitbulls to teddy bears , chocolate labs , etc . I work from home as a certified nursing assistant, occasionally I’ll go in to cover a shift if someone calls out but I mostly do resident charting and staffing schedules from home . Fenced in yard , can offer potty breaks every hour , go for walks around the lake , clean up dog poo , go for runs , give them a bath if needed .
About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
About: I have had pets all while growing up. I have had two bigger dogs and I have a cat at my parents house. I have help neighbors watch and walk there dogs when they are gone. I am currently working part time which allows me to have a lot of flexibility. This allows me to have more time to care for animals. I make sure to walk or play with them regularly! Always keeping an eye on them so make sure they’re safe and behaving. I also want them to be comfortable with me so making sure I introduce my self in mine or there home correctly.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, cozy snuggles, or catering to unique needs, I’m here to keep your furry friends happy, safe, and well-cared for. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to meet you both! I can fit any pet care into my schedule to whatever the customer needs with their schedule or their animals and I love to help anytime people need I take great care of my cat in my home. I always change his litter and I always make sure he eats at the correct times and I also give him lots of toys.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.
About: I DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS ALONE AT NIGHT or during the day IF REQUIRED and or REQUESTED. If you want to know your home and fur family are safe and have consistent interaction and love I do not work any shifts as a nurse while I work for you. I would be with them other than running to the store or to get my toddler, and could also take them with me if you wanted. I offer 24/7 care for your furry, bald, or scaly family members. For extended stay house sitting I will adjust my service radius and accept further distance or travel time. I’m very passionate about any owner feeling confident (and not occupied or distracted) wondering if someone is taking care of things. I don’t leave animals alone at night unless you specifically say so. I have a lot of experience with geriatric animals as well as anxious, barky dogs, cats with mental issues, chickens, exotic animals; reptiles such as large snakes and lizards, spiders, 🕷️ little furry friends, hedgehogs, fish, toucans, macaws, parrots, small birds and ferrets to name a few. I was 6 when I started my first job! I’m happily teaching my daughter young at the age of 4 It was me banging on your door and (without any introductions) yelling excitedly.. “DO YOU HAVE A DOG HOW MANY? ARE YOU CAT PEOPLE!? IS IT NICE ? CAN I WALK IT ? WHATS ITS NAME ? CAN I GIVE IT TREATS ? PEOPLE FOOD ? And yes that was ALL one sentence no response necessary as I welcomed myself further into your house to look for said dog…cat or leash and your cookie jar which led me to my next question; “do you have any cookies or cakes I can have?” .🤦🏻♀️ Luckily I was just cute and outgoing enough to be welcomed over to play with the pets and tire them out for you! One day you would find me in your (locked or out of reach handle) SIX FOO TALL FENCED INI yard with your dogs or waiting for you to open the door I WAS OBSESSED 😬 eventually when you saw my strong bond and trust with your fur-balls you thought might not like kids…..I WAS IN!! Official dog walker with a new addition to my schedule. Which admittedly did lead to neighborhood search parties for your dog, thinking it ran away from the little girl two young to take care of it! (sorry Fur parents) they were actually sitting with me in my bedroom on my bed/refrigerator box made in to my dog fort (eating approved treats only!!) at my lame goldfish tank petless house. Just 7 wild sisters I couldn’t even trade for one dog!? Come on DAD! Anyways it’s a passion and a hobby, I have trained puppies have several weeks old to sit shake and lay down within a short period of time, I took my Aunt’s dogs always to doggy daycare and as an adult my past babies to fully owner trained facilities, I am a nurse of 14 years so I have all the BLS credentials as well as ACLS medical training, medication knowledge and after so many 20+ year old cats and dogs (my aunt really kept them happy!!) i’ve given just about every injection topical oral anal glandular ointment insulin you anti parasitic viral fungal and nasal! Yea nasal medication there is. At times living with my aunt who always had at least two dogs….and 5 cats…and a squirrel maybe some fish or my secret pet rat she knew nothing about (and was an actual wild rat I befriended) god I hope she doesn’t read this…now at 33 I am comfortable with “very pet friendly” houses, clutter or hoarding does not bother me as I grew up in many different homes and usually had multiple animals ranging from fish, Burmese pythons birds mice dragons, lizards, animal smells do not bother me, I have no allergies, I have no pets myself currently. There are a lot of people who offer cheaper services than I do so if your just looking for someone to basically stop and drop food you can save money picking someone else. **pricing reflects Rovers fluctuating meet and greet, booking, distance, duration and APP taxes & fees** I don’t work for anyone but you when I watch your family member(s) I! am flexible with availability, love all animals and creatures (besides leaches ticks and centipedes) I offer free grooming in your home for any docile candidates as well as wound care, med management, and oh yea ALL THE CUDDLES. I can get them to appointments if needed, as a first responder and nurse of 14 years I am very adept at recognizing any signs of distress, distrust, or pain. I have been able to safely manage situations that so quickly could have went bad by recognizing slight stance variation, a quick glance or change in affect on your baby. Typically if someone is noticeably obnoxious (or a kid with no training comes and puts its sticky hand in front of your babes face randomly while on a walk…I would expect nothing less and therefore am prepared. Hey we can’t all get along all the time right? For extended care with any animals that have separation anxiety or disabilities I prefer to care for animals in their home environment. Humans usually prefer not uprooting as animals do as well, it limits anxieties and the unknown. There’s at least familiarity and their own controlled routine. I do not mind doing doggy daycare or boarding a Young rambunctious pup that may not be bonded to an environment yet But typically they are so much more comfortable in their home, and you have peace of mind when you are away that not only your babies are being watched, but your property as well. As a basic care provider as well as certifications and years of being an emergency responder, safety is first. First and foremost. That applies to living beings first as well as home and surroundings. Knowing the correct commands and the rules that kids like to break when parents are away is always important and helps Foster trust and confidence between myself and your pets. Just as children crave structure and routine animals are no different! And if I’m being honest, sometimes easier.

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 .
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 , 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 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.
