About: Currently in grad school looking for an enjoyable side hustle. I had to leave my family dog when moving down to South Carolina 3 years ago, and I miss him everyday! I love animals and would love to care for yours like my own. I have plenty of experience caring for and walking an energetic dog. Also some experience with cat sitting and caring for a puppy!

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.”

About: I have always loved and adored animals. I recently finished working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My main focus was to show the pets there the best care and that’s exactly what I did. I fed the dogs, made sure they were clean, looked after them, and played with them. I did my best to make the pets feel comfortable even though they were away from home. I am currently taking three courses at a technical college. I’m normally gone for about two hours a day for class. After which, I am free to give all services such as dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, etc. I will abide by all of the rules that are given to me in the house. I will make sure that the pets remain safe while still having fun with them and showing them care.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Darlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 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.
