About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of cats and dogs, whether big or small, energetic or lazy, aggressive or sweet-as-can-be, I’ve seen it. I have experience pet sitting with special needs dogs, food-aggressive dogs, and puppies. I’ve also taken care of cranky cats, kittens, and literal scaredy cats. My schedule is very flexible (most of the time I’m looking for something to do to get out of the house.) As an animal lover, taking care of pets sounds like a great time to me. I should be available any time and on holidays unless they’re marked off my calendar. My house has a lot of space for any animal to roam around and get to know it. There’s plenty of space for their beds, food dishes, and toys. There are also a lot of sidewalks right outside for us to easily take walks or for potty breaks. I also live close to Coolidge and Renaissance Parks so a visit to them is super easy!
About: Had dogs all my life, my fur baby is Pippin, he's 1 and a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll care for your babies like I care for my own. I work within the elder care community, I help care for animals in the home along with cleaning and things of that nature. I always make sure my own dog is taken care of before I leave for work and he's the first thing I run to when I get home. I will always leash to walk, safety is my priority. Currently only doing in client home sitting. I engage with your animals and make sure those social needs are met.
About: As a nurse, caring for others is a passion of mine. I bring that passion to every pet I care for. I understand the importance of safe, compassionate, and loving care for your pets especially when they need it most. I’m attentive to routine, feeding schedules, and medications. I treat every single pet like my own, and treat them like family. My goal is to assure you that your pets needs are getting met by keeping you updated and providing you peace of mind 😊 As a full time nurse, that leaves me with plenty of time on the weekends and a few weekdays to provide care for your pet! I provide loving, attentive care while following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of playtime, exercise, and lots of affection! I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including any special dietary needs or medication routines. I also keep their space clean and comfortable and send regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are happy and safe. Every pet has their own personality, and I strive to make each one feel loved, secure, and right at home! 🐾💕

“Lacole was a great pet sitter for our 2 cats! She made a great effort to play with them, clean up around the litter boxes and other areas of the house, as well as send picture updates! Will definitely book in the future! Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have plenty of experience with handling and caring for animals as I have 3 dogs, 8 cats, 4 turtles, 4 frogs, and 2 lizards. I grew up with animals and have volunteered at animal shelters and worked at an animal care hospital as a kennel tech. I'd love to open my care to other people's pets as it's something I'm pretty comfortable and trained in doing. I've had pets my entire life and have a pretty strong passion about animals and can care for any range of breeds or size without issue. I'm very flexible with scheduling and timing as I have a lot of free time and can do pretty much any timing required even most last minutes if needed. Im open to all the services for pet care on here and really do make it my priority for who's pet I'm caring for. I do have a baby that i need to take with me most places but i can babywear him or figure out something that works if comforable! I recently left my full time job job to have more time for my hobbies and side jobs that i much prefer. I can be home all day if need be, and when boarding I do keep my pets separate in the lower portion of the house unless I'm supervising so all pets feel secure and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and a deck that leads out from the living room. I ask that requests be for non destructive dogs as i did board two unbehaved dogs last year that tore into furniture, so please no requests if the pet has a history of being destructive! I let your pet warm up to my home first and make sure to follow the specific care needed per each pet according to the owner's directions.
“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”

“LaDonna and Chris were awesome. We had some household things come up and they volunteered to stay at the house when the repair was being done. They spent lots of sweet time with our kitty and she was well cared for. They took out the trash and made sure our house was secure. They went above and beyond what was asked for.”

I can’t say enough good things about Ana! Monroe is not just my dog; she’s family. She’s an older girl who needs a little extra care, and I’m very particular about who I trust with her, especially when I’m away and can’t bring her along with us like I normally do. I took a chance on Ana initially, not knowing her, but the moment we met, I had a really good feeling. She was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, and Monroe took to her right away. Seeing the natural connection between them immediately put me at ease. Ana has been wonderful ever since. She keeps me updated, sends photos, and makes sure Monroe is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also have complete peace of mind knowing that my home is in good hands while I’m away. It means so much to be able to travel and know that my girl is being cared for by someone I genuinely trust. Ana has earned that trust, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with kindness and care. ❤️
Maribel is one of the most reliable and caring sitters we could have asked for! She has cared for our little guy, Toby, multiple times, and we couldn’t be happier with her. She always keeps us updated throughout the day, especially when it comes to any changes in his personality, how well he’s eating, or any scratches or irritations she notices. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Toby is in such caring and attentive hands. We will 100% be booking with Maribel again and highly recommend her!

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.

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.
