I have experience working with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress and provide attentive, compassionate care. I am dedicated to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time during the summer and have 2 hour lunch breaks which gives me the time to walk or give your furry friends a potty break! I’m also free almost every weekend! I’m willing to be flexible to make sure your dog/cat is taken care of :) Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 2.5 years of veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those with special needs.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life! I love them and love being able to let my dogs get interaction with other fur babies! I love to walk dogs and play fetch, teach new tricks when I can! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and let them feel like part of our home during their stay with us!

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up and was even around more exotic pets like bunnies and snakes. I love animals especially dogs and cats and have even fostered cats for the humane society in the past. I don’t own an animal due to working full time and moving frequently. I work full time so I can board pets on the weekends from Friday - Sunday most of the time. Occasionally on long weekends as well. I can also check on pets after work. I do not have any pets at the moment but may start to foster cats in the future. I have rooms to keel animals separate if needed. I also have a fenced in backyard.
“My GSD is very picky about who she will let in the yard. Athena LOVED Misty. She came and played with her and sent lots of pictures. I've booked her again.”
“Another great experience with Ariel taking care of our puppy! Willow loves it when she sees Ariel. She always plays with her and takes good care of her on her drop ins! Thanks again Ariel!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets to feed, walk, and give them comfort. I’ve had dogs around all my life. I am currently employed part time, a college student, looking for some extra cash so my availability is very open! Weekdays work best for me after 5 pm! I have a fenced yard with 2 very friendly dogs. Water is easily accessible for the dogs as well. I am able to separate my dog from your dog if needed!
About: Well rounded pet care taker/sitter. Experience caring for animals such as dogs to horses. Many years of house, pet, and property sitting. More than willing to work requests or specific tasks that your companion may need or is a part of their schedule. I am available to care for your pet(s) anytime between 6:00 am - 11:00 pm any day of the week that are available on my Rover Schedule. Please let me know if there is anything more I could do for you and your companion(s). Allowing your pet(s) to adjust to a new environment (or person) is very important. At this time I am not providing daycare or boarding. As a standard, I expect to be able to walk your companion(s) around their own neighborhood or environment that they are comfortable with. If I were to pet sit in a client’s home the utmost respect for property and privacy would be carried out. I would request specific instructions to where I am to be in the home at all times. All services would still be carried out to the same standards. Currently, I do not stay overnight while house or dog sitting.

I enjoy animals and your pets will be treated as family members at my house. While I have no kids of my own, I am a foster parent so kids of all ages do come and go. I also sometimes host guests through airbnb, however no smoking is allowed in the house by anyone. My family used to own a small black dog that I helped walk and care for. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to working with you and your pets!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Aubrey was my first Rover experience! She was quick to respond to my last minute need of someone to take care of my pets after my plans fell through. She asked clarifying questions regarding care instructions, and the pictures that you receive for each visit showed me my pets smiling! I barely knew anything about the app and the reports and notifications you receive about each visit, and the picture proofs, was an amazing surprise and a huge relief of anxiety about leaving my pets at home with someone coming into your home to take care of them! I can tell my pets liked Aubrey, and I’m so grateful to her for being this person in the world for others. I would absolutely recommend her.

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 Derby 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.
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 Derby 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Derby with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
