“Starfire was amazing with our three dogs. Each has their little quirks but she handled them flawlessly. Our golden retriever pup (10 months old) is in her dinosaur stage but Starfire was able to contain her ? Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for taking great care of Groot, Spam & Ozrah.”
About: I have always been around animals whether they were my own or someone else’s. I have also shadowed at vet clinics and done kenneling briefly at a clinic. I love spending time with pets and taking care of them. I am a college student who is currently studying biology, I then plan to go to vet school. So over the summer and holiday breaks I have plenty of time to care for pets. If they are on a feeding schedule I follow that schedule. I’m also very active myself and love being out side. If it’s nice out I’ll take your animal out to play and walk.
“This was my first time having someone other than family watch my dog overnight, and Aliyah put any worries that I had at ease. She was able to follow all of my instructions, and maintained good communication with me daily regarding my dog while I was away. She even sent pictures and videos of him 😊 One thing that is helpful for my dog is his routine, and Aliyah maintained his normal routine without any issues. She also maintained a clean space while I was gone. I’d definitely book Aliyah again if I have to leave my dog overnight! She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. My dog loves her! We are very appreciative!”
“Shantae was a tentative on time and really took great care of our two year-old and six month old puppy. Our puppy had no accidents either in the house with her which is amazing while she still is still potty training. Shantae was able to look out for the signs to help her continuously be successful in potty training. If you’re looking for someone who will take care and treat your fur babies like royalty.”
About: For me, caring for animals has never felt like simply “pet sitting.” They are family—and when someone is trusting me with a member of theirs, I take that responsibility to heart. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and today I help care for my family’s lively crew of four dogs and two cats. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and ages—from the young and playful to the older companion who needs a slower pace, a little more patience, and extra tenderness. Senior pets hold an especially meaningful place in my heart. This past September, I said goodbye to Shadow, my Blue Heeler/Pit Bull mix, whom I had loved since he was just three months old. Loving him through his later years gave me a very personal understanding of both the beauty and the weight of caring for an aging pet. I understand the routines, vigilance, patience, and emotional energy that senior pet care can require. I also understand how difficult it can be for their people to step away—even for a weekend—because you worry that someone else won’t notice the little things you notice or care for them with the gentleness they deserve. That is one of the reasons I’m especially interested in supporting families with aging pets. Sometimes loving your pet well also means allowing yourself to rest, travel, celebrate a milestone, or simply take a break knowing they are in caring hands. Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play, independent and particular, or a senior who prefers a quiet companion and an unhurried pace, I meet them where they are. All breeds. All ages. Lots of love. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved—and I want you to feel at ease knowing someone is genuinely looking after them. I work from home, with either a daytime schedule of 10 a.m.–6 p.m. or an evening schedule of 4–11 p.m. This allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and make time for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and companionship. Being home is only part of it; paying attention matters just as much. Pets can’t tell us what they need in words, so I take time to notice their habits, body language, and little requests for attention. Whether that means a nudge for a bathroom break, an invitation to play, or wanting someone nearby, I care about learning how your pet communicates. I do have focused work periods, so we’ll discuss your pet’s routine and care needs before booking to make sure my availability is a good fit. This is especially important for older pets who may need more frequent check-ins or a particular schedule. I want to understand what a comfortable day looks like for your pet and how I can help keep it that way while you’re away. I start by learning the little things that matter to your pet: their familiar routines, favorite activities, where they like to rest, and how they let you know they need something. I follow your instructions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, litter care, and rest, with time for play and affection on their terms. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible and treat your space with care and respect. I let your pet get comfortable with me at their own pace, whether they’re ready to play right away or prefer a quieter introduction. Senior pets are especially close to my heart. Caring for my dog Shadow through his later years taught me the importance of patience, gentleness, and noticing small changes. I’m happy to move at an older pet’s pace, and we’ll discuss any health, mobility, or supervision needs beforehand so I can be clear about the care I can reliably provide. Before you leave, we’ll confirm care instructions, veterinary and emergency contacts, and your preferences for photos and updates. I want you to feel comfortable sharing the details—even the ones that seem small. They’re part of knowing your pet, and they matter to me, too.
“Sanai was an absolute delight! She is incredibly respectful, clean, and kind, and took exceptional care of our three-month-old puppy, Obi. My husband and I highly recommend her and fully trust her to care for our fur baby in the future.”
About: I’ve had experience since I was born but I’ve been more attentive and actually working to take care of them since 13. I’m 18 now, I have watched scared dogs, big dogs, friendly dogs, jumping dogs, sleepy dogs, small dogs, and same goes for cats! I have 4 dogs currently, and I freed them and take them out all the time, so extra dogs wouldn’t make any difference I would just do the same with them as I do with my dogs! They would have all permissions as my dogs! I will take them out, check them for tics or anything hurting them if they show it. Feed them obviously! And give them treats on certain occasions, or whenever you say I can give them. I take my time with them and love them with my whole heart! Your dog will be treated exactly how I treat mine!
“Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!”
About: Over the years I have had experience with dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, and chickens. As an adult I have owned a rottweiler (2011-2019) and labradoodle(2016-2020) that I absolutely loved and made me fall in love with dogs. They are now angels watching over me. I currently have five kitties rocky (17yrs), Simba (7yrs), Gracie (2yrs), Penny (2yrs), and Bella (1yr). During COVID I had pet and food rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs. I work fulltime during the day usually Monday through Friday 5am-4pm. I work part time on the weekends for a DJ which is usually just Saturdays 3pm to 11pm depending on the event. I enjoy my down time caring for my furrbabies and making sure they have food and water and clean litter boxes. I am always trying to find new ways to make them live a better and happier life. I have a split foyer with 5 cute and lovable kitties. I have a temporary catio on my deck for them to safely enjoy the outdoors. I live in a semi quiet neighborhood that I enjoy taking longs walks around. I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and not scared as stress is not good for an animal. I love getting outside and going for walks so if your animal needs a walk, it will just make my heart happier to have company. Fuurbabies are family so I will treat your furrbaby just like if they were my own.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them! I have a dog of my own that I’ve been caring for over the past year, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. From feeding and going on walks to playtime and giving lots of attention, I’m familiar with the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕 I’m currently in College and I also work part-time. I’m usually available in the day time, evening and nights on Friday and the weekends. I sometimes am available during the week as well when I come home from college. Feel free to reach out and ask for my current availability for the week, it varies depending on my classes. Although, most of the time i’m available. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel loved and cared for. I pay close attention to their needs, follow any instructions or routines provided by their owners, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while treating them with the same love and patience I give my own dog! 🐾💕

“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
About: I have had pets all of my childhood and adult life, and my passion for them has only grown. I'm passionate about learning more about the many species of animals.

I have an abundance of time to work and spend with your animals. My home has a dedicated pet room (for either dogs or cats) that is cleaned every day. Additionally, a one-acre fenced-in yard has enough room for your fur child to run around in!

“Sophia was an amazing Rover! She kept us updated the whole time and seriously spoiled Roxie while we were gone! Is was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands the whole time we were gone:)”
“Tia was an awesome, Dog Sitter for our 70 pound, somewhat anxious, rescue dog, Lucy. She instantly knew how to make Lucy comfortable and feel secure, which is no small feat. She was also completely reliable., showing up on time, responding quickly to questions, taking as much time as we needed during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend Tia highly enough.”
“Everything went absolutely amazing while we were out of country for 6 days. This was the first time I had Elizabeth and it was pretty much last minute since the one I had booked bailed on me 8 days before trip. :(. Elizabeth went above and beyond and even washed sheets and towels and had our bed ready for us knowing we’d be tired after flying in late. Great job Elizabeth!! Will definitely book again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dentsville
My dogs and cats are precious to me and I can say without question that Ashley M. took care of them as though they were to her too. She was on time (which is saying something for a 5:15am start time); followed all instructions; and sent me pictures to ease my mind as they were clearly very comfortable with her. Ashley even helped my with an issue in that I couldn't remember if I took a daily medication; when I texted her asking about the container, she sent me a picture of it so I had the information needed. My sister, who picked up the pups to keep them the rest of the day, was very impressed as well. Ashley is a gem and I am grateful for her great care.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dentsville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dentsville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Dentsville 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
