I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I am currently a full time student as well as working in a veterinary clinic. I have availability throughout most days as well as afternoons and weekends. My pets are my first priority in my own home and your pets will be my first priority in your home as well. As a veterinary professional, the safety of pets is very important to me.
About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I understand that pets are part of the family, and they deserve kindness, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m currently working full time five days a week, so care will have to be provided in the evening on weekdays and flexible hours on weekends. have a dog and two cats at home who are friendly and enjoy being around other pets.

About: Hi everybody! My name is Landri and I am a fur mom, aunt, sister, friend, and god-mom to many fur babes. I grew up with indoor and outdoor cats and dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals and their unique personalities 💕 I currently have a fur baby named Denver who is a half lab/half golden, and he is 90 pounds of love & a little bit spoiled (judging by the amount of treats & toys in our house that he would love to share)! He loves all animals and would be happy to help me take care and have fun with your fur babies. Aside from having my own dogs and cats, I have helped to take care of my family’s, friends, and co-workers pets over the years. I have a big yard that will give your pet(s) plenty of room to run and play and am happy to accommodate to any needs they have. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the importance of having someone who will be reliable and treat your pet like their own. I will happily send photos and updates daily so you don’t miss them too much and know they are in the best hands. I do work during the day (M-F), but my boyfriend who is also a pet lover works a swing shift and has 4-5 day breaks and/or a mostly opposite schedule from myself. I have cared for pets of all sizes and breeds and love each and every one! I look forward to meeting you and your loved fur babes!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am very passionate and giving them their best life. I have five dogs by myself. They have the best life the best care the best love having me as their mommy. I would love to share my passion with other fur babies and give other dogs a chance to live their best life! I can care for all ages and all types. My dogs are very friendly and loving to other dogs. I have a huge backyard and a home for them to go in and out of all day long. They can jump on the furniture, the house is built for a pack of dogs. My house and yard are clean and safe. I can train and groom as well. I am available every weekday and every weekend, no matter the time of day or night. My everyday life involves a routine with all the dogs from morning to night! I have a backyard fence in and house that is designed for dogs. I will watch them all day playing and running around. I will give them breakfast and lunch or dinner. I will make sure water is always provided! I can train puppies while I watch them. I will provide toys of all kinds and dog pool! I have a fully graveled yard, they will stay clean even with rain! I can bath, cut nails and groom dogs as well! I spoil every dog personally.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 410 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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.

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 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.
