“Nicole took exceptional care of my cat while I was away. Her communication was top-notch. She always kept me posted with timely updates and sent the best pictures. I appreciated Nicole's attention to detail, and it made me know my cat was well looked after.”

“Amber is the absolute best person to watch your puppies!! She truly loves and cares for your babies as if they’re her own!! She was always very communicative about everything that goes on with the puppies ! Our Dixie girl ended up having her puppies when we were away and amber stepped in and made sure everything was good with the puppies even when Dixie was being not so friendly. She truly made sure everything went well so we could be worry free on our vacation”


“Kristie was wonderful and very reliable! She did a great job watching our cat and giving her a pill every morning. She was very attentive, thorough, quick to respond, and provided frequent updates. I would 100% recommend her care and if I need a future sitter, I will go to Kristie. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor - a dependable, animal-loving sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. While I’m newer to Rover as a platform, I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and referrals, and I come with strong personal references and repeat clients outside the app. I understand that every pet is different. Some need high energy playtime and long walks, while others just want a calm, comforting presence and a good cuddle. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, which helps me adapt my care style to your pet’s needs. I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs with separation anxiety • Puppies and senior dogs • Administering basic medications • Maintaining routines and schedules • High-energy breeds that need structured activity I treat every pet as if they’re my own - with love, safety, and respect always coming first. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (EST). I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, and sitting around your pet’s routine. For weekday bookings, I do best with: • Morning visits before work • Evening visits after 5 PM • Overnight care with morning & evening routines • Weekend stays and extended care I’m communicative and reliable, and I’ll always be upfront about availability so there are no surprises. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine. In Your Home I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and bedtime routine. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing well. This option is especially great for pets with separation anxiety, seniors, or pets who prefer their own space. In My Home Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m mindful of routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I only take on pets I can fully care for, ensuring your pet gets individualized attention—not just supervision. I prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions at all times.

About: Growing up my mom and I always fostered dogs. I’ve grown up with experience walking and taking care of dogs! I have helped with special needs dogs, pregnant dogs, hyper, and senior dogs. I currently have two dogs, and still foster dogs to this day! I am attending online school and I have plenty of time to come walk your doggies! I have a part time flexible job as well! I take my time making sure all walking equipment is on properly and make sure they get the attention they need!! I pay a lot of attention to detail and schedules for your dogs.
“It can be hard leaving your pets in someone else's hands, but with Alora, we felt total peace of mind. She's not just a sitter—she's a caregiver, an animal lover, and someone who truly treats your pets like her own. We’re so grateful for her time with us and would absolutely welcome her back in a heartbeat.”

“She was amazing and so sweet to my dog Nala. This was the first time I left Nala and she was super scared but Alison was super calm with Nala and didn’t push her boundaries. I for sure recommend her!”

“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”

“Abigail was reliable and accommodated my cat’s sporadic schedule. She spent additional time socializing with him, resulting in his being much less sour toward us when we got home. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re gone. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates because I know how reassuring they can be! I own my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because I create my own appointment times, I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable drop-in visits and walks. Whether your pet needs a morning visit, midday potty break, or evening care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule while ensuring your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to earn their trust while respecting their individual personalities. I’ll always make sure your home is secure before leaving and will provide detailed updates with photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I love spending time with furry babies, they make my day so much more enjoyable! I’ve had pets of my own my whole life & I’ve dog sat for friends and family many times. I usually have open availability especially with couple of weeks notice ! I’ll make sure to also go with the schedule u provide me. Make it easy for you and your pet :) I make sure to feed, walk & play with my pets at home. Giving them all the love and the attention they deserve and will do the same with the clients :)
About: I am a stay at home mom. Our beloved dog cocoa passed away after 13 years with us. We have four children (9,7,5,3) they love helping me care for dogs we watch. They mostly help with giving lots of love and hugs. We have been helping folks through Rover for over a year and enjoy having many repeat dog watching requests. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. Your pet would have many loving arms to be loved with. Our family loves caring for pets. We plan on owning a pet of our own in the future. I have a fenced-in large yard to accommodate for outdoor time and close to dog park for walking. I feel comfortable around larger dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable.
“Jade came to visit our kitties every other day for two weeks while we were on vacation. She fed and watered them, scooped litter, played with them and even brought in our mail. She sent us great pictures every time also. Very reliable. Highly recommended. Thanks Jade!”

About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Collegedale 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Collegedale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
