About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
“Peggy was wonderful with Luna. This was the first time someone other than our neighbor who has known Luna since we adopted her has cared for her. Luna immediately took to Peggy at our first meeting and was just as excited to see her when she arrived to take care of her. We already have her scheduled for another time.”
“Amber was great caring for our elderly cat. She kept us updated with lots of pics while we were away, which we really appreciated. Billy seemed happy and healthy and well cared for!”
About: I have experience with all types of animals from cats, dogs, birds, and even chinchillas. Walking them is a pleasure and also makes me happy since they also get some time out of the house. I’m available to walk in the mornings to get that early rise as well as in the afternoons! It’s nice to get to walk outside and get some sunshine but also chill if needed. For my pets on my home as well as my clients I make sure they’re stimulated enough as well as have all the care they need.
About: I am a pet-loving owner of a friendly chocolate lab puppy. When I was younger, I would care for my neighbors’ pets for them overnight whenever they went in vacation. I’m currently full-time, but I’m always looking to make extra money on the side whenever I can. I can see myself Rovering for people each day after work. I am not offering services in my own home, but as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am trusted by the people around me in my life as far as safety goes. In the past, my neighbors would give me access to their security system to ensure their pets’ safety. I am also extremely loving of any dog I come across.
“Jimi was super communicative and prompt. Our dogs loved him! He did a great job with our drop in request and we are looking forward to utilizing him again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and bunnies since I was younger. I currently have two bunnies of my own. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, walk them, play with them, etc. Pet lover at heart. I do work from home mostly so I can work around my schedule. I currently work from home 8-4, so I have relatively open availability for all of your needs. My schedule fluctuates week to week based on meetings, etc. Open to walks and drop in visits as long as my schedule allows. I currently have two pet rabbits that are in a gated area. I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate your pet if needed. My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park and lots of areas for walking.
“We are so thankful we found Harry and Kerri to take care of our dog Harry! He’s quirky and takes a while to warm up to new people but Kerri and Harry have always respected his boundaries and taken great care of him. He hates being boarded so they did a bunch of drop ins for us while we were away and spent extra time with him. We couldn’t appreciate them more!”
“This was my first time going on a long trip and leaving my three babies with a "stranger". I was apprehensive to say the little least, but once I met Josh, I knew things would be OK and I was right. From the start, he communicated regularly, shared photos and stories, and even gave my three kids little nicknames. He was soon Uncle Josh and a stranger no more! If I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would! For any and all upcoming trips, Josh is our guy. You can tell how much he loves what he does!”
“Troy and Shalah were wonderful! They set up a meet and greet before dropping in and playing with our fur baby. They’re prompt, communicative, and professional. Will use again!”
About: I bring decades of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and kids. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me, and owners trust me because I show up, follow routines, and treat every pet like family. Dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while keeping owners updated so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while in my care. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to pets' behaviors and needs. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family.
“Joann is great!! So happy we connected! It gives me so much piece of mind when I’m at work to know my little Lucy is being taken care of. She lets her out, plays with her and always lets me know how Lucy is! Great experience!!”
About: I currently have two cocker spaniels and one is partially blind and he trusts my voice. They are family and get treated like a member. I worked in The Casino business and while working there I fell back into dog care for co wokers who were working double shifts and then things took off from there while dog care walks and play time I also cared for cats as well! I love what I do and that is important balance in showing how well you work with animals! I like to excercise the dog and then spend some chill time towards then end of the session. I have walked 3 dogs at one time and I am very comfortable doing so. So I look forward to meeting you and you fur baby!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Croydon
Christina is a lifesaver. She was so understanding and supportive when we explained that our cat Jem has cancer and therefore was having some bathroom issues outside the litter box. She took excellent care of our baby and even fed her an extra night when our flight got cancelled and we were stranded in another country. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
We had a wonderful experience with you through [Rover](https://www.rover.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) for drop-in visits while we were away. You took excellent care of our three cats and our fish, and we truly appreciated how attentive and reliable you were throughout the entire time. Each visit came with thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and that everything—from feeding to litter boxes and tank care—was handled responsibly and consistently. We especially appreciated your attention to detail and the care you showed to all of our pets, not just the cats but the fish as well. Everything was in great shape when we returned, and our pets were calm and happy. We would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our pets!
We asked Troy and Shalah last minute (within a few hours, same day!) to check in on our pup as our travel plans were delayed. They responded immediately and were able to accommodate. They also updated us on some allergies we’ve been trying to track for our pup, so we were aware. Appreciate it!
Kayla and Jorge are exceptional dog sitters. They have been my dog sitters for 3 years. I can leave my baby at ease in their care. Thank you for your flexibility and let us modify the visit a day before the schedule due to emergency situation. I definitely recommend them.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Croydon 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.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
