For all bookings I require a meet and great before the booking dates. This free meet and greet will last around 30 mins so I can meet the fur baby and the family, get acquainted to your home and pets life style. We will talk about the needs during the meet and greet.

When we schedule a meet and greet please be sure that you are certain that you do require my services and are able to meet. Please, communicate with me if your plans have changed in a timely manner and I will do the same. Failure of communications prevents other fur parents to reach out to me regarding care for their fur babies for those dates. I have spent 17 years taking care of all kinds of doggies and kitties. Before becoming an Independent contractor on Rovers platform I would care for coworkers and friends pets in their home during their vacations or business trips. I have established trust with many people. I Love these fur babies like my own. Enjoy building this bond with them that lasts a lifetime. I will only sit in your fur babies home where they are in their element and feel most comfortable. This also means that you get a house sitter caring for your home as well. I like to make sure that I leave the space as clean or cleaner than when I arrived . This means that I will be cleaning up after myself and the fur babies when I am there. I love being active and will provide your fur baby with the necessary mental and physical stimulation they needs. I will take care of your fur babies and your home like my own.

About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.
“Alexis took great care of Maple and Arlo. Many pictures sent during her drop-in visits, with detailed updates. Great communication the entire time. We came home to very happy dogs! Grateful we found someone we can trust.”
About: Thank you for helping fund my college education!! About my Pet Care Experience: I am an experienced foster for many types of pets, ranging from week-old bottle-babies to elderly large dogs and different cats. Routine is important! I have learned to provide specific schedules for all types of fur babies depending on their needs. Currently, I am pursuing my bachelor's in nursing, so I am booked Mondays all day and Wednesday mornings. I make lots of tie for pets, as I recognize the value in enrichment. I run in the mornings, so let me know if your dog/dogs would like to join me as well! Water is always fresh and available, food is provided on a schedule unless otherwise noted. My apartment is not huge but there's nothing dangerous for pets. I pick up any smal items and plants when pets are home.
“Isabella did a very nice job. What I appreciate most is when someone takes the time to pet and play with my guys, which is not an easy task given how shy they are, but she took the time and effort to put on cat TV, play with a laser and help them warm up to her. She also left detailed notes, which is always nice. I am very pleased with her work:)”
“Abigail did a great job of looking after our 3 cats twice a day for 4 days. Her visit summaries and photos were greatly appreciated, and from these, it was very obvious that they took to her and trusted her for meals, pills, and attention.”
“Indigo was wonderful! They followed all my instructions & went above & beyond in their care for my dog. He seemed very happy & well taken care of when I came home after being away for the day. I received a detailed summary of the drop in visit & several sweet pictures of my dog. I highly recommend Indigo as a pet sitter & plan on booking their services again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old in order to save up for a dog of my own. I love walking and playing with dogs. I'm not afraid to get dirty on the ground rolling around with your dog. I grew up being a dog person and caring for all the dogs in my neighborhood. I was a very loving and caring owner of my dog until he passed recently. It's not just a job to me, it's time well spent. I think it is important to spend quality time with our pets. I won't just feed your dog, let them out and then leave. I will spend time walking and making sure your dog feels loved while you are gone. I schedule my week around what animal care jobs I have. I am currently in college for nursing and all of my classes are fully online and self-paced so I have a lot of freedom to move my week around for the animals needs. I will pour as much time and care into your pets as needed depended on your schedule. I would never leave my dog in the care of a business looking after many dogs at once, I would want him to get the attention and care he deserves. With me, they will get one-one-one attention. Therefore, when I care for your animals, I think of how I'd want someone to care and love mine.
About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dana
Amanda was fantastic and truly went above and beyond while watching our dog Max. Not only did she take the utmost care of him but she also spent time keeping him company and sent us picture updates each visit. She just has an incredible way with animals. Even though she was there for Max, I was shocked to see our shyest cat (who I was positive would stay completely hidden) feeling comfortable enough to come out and sit with her. As first timers we feel really lucky to have found her and will absolutely look to use her services again.
We're new to Rover and didn't know what to expect. Christine is absolutely wonderful. Our pups didn't have any experience with new people caring for them but she tried her hardest to make them comfortable and it worked. She took care of them as if they were her own. I love the rover cards with pictures I recieved during each visit. I highly recommend Christine and look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Christine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
