About: As a certified dog trainer and shelter volunteer, I bring hands-on experience, patience, and personalized, compassionate care to every pup, treating each like family. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time Monday through Friday from 5–7 PM, with occasional Saturday shifts from 9 AM–3 PM. This allows me to offer pet care outside of those hours, with availability depending on the day. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works for everyone! I focus on keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy in an environment that suits their needs. Although my backyard is modest, I live in a safe neighborhood perfect for walks and outdoor exercise, with a nearby lake for scenic strolls when appropriate. I’m also happy to provide care in clients’ homes, follow their usual routines, and use a crate when needed and requested. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home! 🐾
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life! I grew up with small and medium breeds, and as an adult I have medium shepherd-husky mix. I’ve also pet sat for large breeds like labs. Raising my current pup has deepened my training skills—she’s worked with multiple trainers, and I’ve learned a lot about teaching basic commands and creating a calm, positive environment for dogs of all ages. I treat every dog like family and work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress free. I currently work full time M-F. So I am free to board to drop in on weekends. During the summer, I am very free/flexible every day to board or drop in. For my boarding clients, I have a fully fenced yard with grass to run around in. I have a multiple sized crates, pens or cozy bed for each pup. I do have elementary school children who are really good with dogs. I do not have any cats or other pets besides our pup.
“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”
About: Pets of all sorts have been a part of my entire life. From bunnies to leopard geckos, Guinea pigs to tortoises, the list goes on! I’m the oldest in a large family so I’ve learned and perfected responsibility from a very young age. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. From the plentiful amounts of petting and cuddles to walks and dog parks if preferred, I do it all! I’m a stay at home mom in an active duty military family and enjoy helping families wherever and whenever I can. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I am currently a stay at home mom and have been for the past 6 years. Therefore, I have plenty of time to devote to your precious babies, since I’m always home! I have a turfed yard which is fenced and can allow your pet free in and out access if needed. I have the necessary space for crates and can provide one if your pet should need it throughout the day for naps or at night for bedtime. I provide daily morning and afternoon walks and don’t mind pampering them with a spa day! I have one dog named Kiké who loves to have play dates and knows how to play extremely well with dogs of all shapes and sizes! Whatever your needs are, just let me know and I can definitely adjust!
About: Hi, I’m Rob– Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human! 🐾 With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle sessions, or special care for senior pets, I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical or behavioral needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience—for both you and your pet. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily drop-ins, you can count on me for trustworthy, loving care. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels right at home—even when you’re not! 🐶 I know how important it is to have someone you can count on—especially with a busy schedule. That’s why I offer flexible availability mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to fit your pet’s routine and your lifestyle. ✔️ Early morning walks before work ✔️ Midday drop-ins and playtime ✔️ Evening feedings and cuddles ✔️ Weekend sitting and overnight care available Whether your pet needs daily attention or occasional visits, I’ll work with your schedule to make sure they’re cared for and loved like family. I’m also comfortable administering medications and customizing care based on your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies of our own, a golden doodle and maltipoo. Both are extremely friendly and love any opportunity to meet new friends. You can be assured that your pup will be safe and have plenty of social interaction as well!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have always loved animals and work this them all the time. I also work for a friend who does fostering for cats. I also have the wag! App and use it as well, you can find me on there and book a service through there too. I’m currently a full time student at MSJC but have a few days off so I am willing to pick up some work on the days I have free and work with furry friends. I have a fenced off yard with 2 friendly dogs, I have a pool in the backyard that is regularly cleaned (not very deep and easy to get out of for most dogs) I have chickens but they are in a cage so no contact can be made. I do have neighbors with dogs but the fence is secure and no one can touch each other. In addition I have 5 cats who all love dogs (might be scared but not mean).
“Our kitty LOVES Amanda and she does such a great job with her every day with her care, letting us know how she is doing while we are away. The Rover experience is seamless and Rover is so lucky to have such a loving and trusted sitter like Amanda working on their team. Thanks Amanda!”
“This was Rachel’s first week dropping in and taking care of my 3 1/2 month old puppy and she takes great care of her and my puppy always looks very happy and calm during her visits. Rachel is also very knowledgeable about dogs which allows her to better understand their needs without any prompting”
“Justine was amazing! Our sweet girl had just recovered from pancreatitis and needed a special diet and medicine. She gave our pup her medicine, cooked her food, and was patient during the slow walks. I loved the photos too! It helped relieve stress while we had to be out of town for several days”
“Caitlin was great to work with! My dog Henna loves her and is very comfortable around her. She was great at checkin and leaving me pictures and notes on rover so that I didn’t feel so far away from my baby.”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors- pup pads, play time & medications all come second nature to me. Your dogs will feel all the love in my home with their unique needs met. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time to watch and play with your fur babies. Dogs are not left long without company. I have a gated backyard. Dogs are able to sleep comfortably in dog beds, on a blanketed couch or in a crate if preferred by owner. I like to provide an environment most similar to home for comfort. At this time I am only accepting a max of 2 dogs at a time making it easy to give them the attention they crave.
“This is our first time using rover.com, and I have to say that we were cautious at first since we were looking for care for our senior dog with diabetes. We were lucky to find Tina who was very responsive very punctual and was very kind toward our dog Bandit. It helped me have a better Thanksgiving knowing someone was there to check in on him. Thank you Tina for your Love of dogs, you are appreciated!”
“Erick has helped with our pets several times and he has been nothing short of kind, accommodating, and trustworthy. My pets are always so happy when I get home and we can rest easy knowing he is there with them.”
“Katherine was great! We requested her complete a few drop in visits over the weekend. This was a very last minute request and she responded quickly and even was available for a meet and greet the same day of the request. This helped us so much! She sent photos each drop in. Thank you Katherine!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dutch Village
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Our dogs were treated with so much care, patience, and attention, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Communication was excellent, everything was handled reliably, and it was clear that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Thank you.
I chose Skylar to drop in for my older kitty while away for a week. Upon my request, Skylar responded quickly and recommended a meet and greet before my trip. We met the next day and while listening to my instructions carefully, she took the time to get to know Tinker (kitty) and me better. She also got to know my dog! I received daily report cards and pictures after each visit and she even gave my very shy kitty a new bed. I 100% recommend Skylar for your sitting needs. I found her to be responsible, sweet and very caring of my animals. Thank you so much Skylar! You put my mind at ease. Heather
Aleksandra came to the rescue for us this past week when we had to attend a family baby shower up in Long Beach — and she was phenomenal. She took amazing care of our boxer, Bella, and our corgi/Chihuahua mix, Calvin. On Sunday while we were away, they got park time, cookies and treats, and plenty of love and attention. Bella got to chase her ball and hunt her lizards — basically her perfect day. Aleksandra stopped by around 11–11:30 AM and came back again at 2:30 PM, sending us updates both times, which we really appreciated. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our pups were in great hands. We’re incredibly grateful she took time out of her day to help us, and we’re absolutely looking forward to using her again in the near future.
Matt was amazing during his drop-in visits for my dog Leo. He gave him excellent daily care and playtime and he followed all my requests for feeding and treat dispersion. He even went above and beyond by offering to do some extra miner house chores while I was gone which I greatly appreciated. Matt was calm and friendly with Leo yet could be assertive enough to keep him in line when necessary. I would highly recommend Matt and will definitely be requesting care from him in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 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.
