“Jenifer is reliable and thorough. She checks on our cat, makes sure there is enough food, cleans the litter, and even takes time to let her drink from the sink. We get photos of our pet emailed to us after each visit.”
“Tara is a wonderful, engaged, and considerate sitter. I have never seen my nervous dog relax with anyone the way he did with Tara. She kept me updated with notes and photos while I was gone and I came home to a happy puppy. I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone with a skittish dog!”
About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!
“We had a wonderful experience with Julei! She was reliable and clearly care for Miss Bailey like her own! She provided notes and pics of her visits which were much appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt very much at ease while we’re were gone.”
“Kami was absolutely fantastic every single day we had her watch our puppy!!! She made everything so easy and provided great updates via photos and description. We would 10/10 recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my boys while we were away for a week. She went above and beyond in the services she provided. It put my mind at ease knowing she was here while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures during her drop ins and I feel Cindy took care of my cats as though they were her own. Thank you for doing a wonderful job!!!”
“Brianna has watched our cat twice now and she is great! Always willing to do medications and sends us detailed updates. We know our baby is in good hands with her!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was a very young girl. Starting at the age of 9, I used to watch my neighbors dogs when they’d go out of town. Now, I often dog sit and board my coworkers dogs when needed. My deep love for dogs has driven me to always find a way to care and connect with them. I am free for the summertime to give your pets plenty of love and care all day! With enough notice, I can prepare to board your pets in whatever way you need. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly dogs to give your dog plenty of space and friends to play with. There are plenty of toys and beds that my dogs don’t use and I also have 2 open crates if your dog needs as well.
About: I’ve watched cats and dogs in various sizes from 5 pounds to 200! I know how to train puppies and I’m ready to put in any work needed to make every animal my best friend and give them the care and attention they deserve! I’m currently only working part time on weekends so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m ready to walk, play, cuddle and take care of your best buds! I always respect others homes and try to leave everything as it was. Animals are so comfortable in their home and I always want to keep that and make sure they are happy and safe!
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family's pets since I was young. Recently I have been pet sitting as many dogs and kitties as I can. I’m very adaptable and adore animals. I dance part time, on Monday’s 3-9, Tuesdays 7-9, and Thursdays 3-7. Other than that my time is completely flexible for pet sitting. I’m very tidy and will always leave the house better than I found it! I’m also good with cleaning up puppy/kitty accidents.
About: Hi! I’m currently in graduate school for social work and am looking to get back into pet sitting and dog walking during my freetime which is something that I have enjoyed in the past. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels and understand that each pet has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m happy to provide reliable and attentive care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet!! I work second shift as a clinical coach at a rehabilitation center which gives me availability during the morning, early afternoons, and on many weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s normal routine, carefully follow any instructions you provide, and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every home with respect, keep pets secure at all times, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away
About: Animals have run in my family since I was a kid. Being around animals is my happy place, and while your gone I’d love to keep them company. I’m active so I do enjoy lots or walks, and play time. I’m currently working a part-time job, so I’ll have plenty of time to keep your animals company! My work hours are 4-9. I’m available for daycare drop off or pick up if it’s set around those hours. Animals are left in good hands when I’m around. I’m very good with helping give meds when needed. If there a schedule you would like me to stick to, I’m able to follow thru and keep them on track how you like. The safety and health of your animals in definitely my top priority!
“Luke is awesome! I would highly recommend him! We have two dogs, one with special needs (she is 2 yrs old and completely blind). He is prompt to respond, communicates well, shares pictures from his visits and takes great care of both of them! Super happy we found him to help us out!”
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Dousman 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.
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 with handling special pet needs in Dousman. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
