“Kristin has been wonderful with Irv. My mom has been caring for him while I’ve been traveling, and Kristin has been doing drop-in visits on the days my mom works long shifts, which has been such a relief. She’s clearly very experienced with animals, communicates consistently, and has been incredibly flexible with my mom’s rotating work schedule. She always provides thoughtful updates and photos, follows instructions carefully, and asks great questions to make sure she’s doing everything right. Since I haven’t been able to see Irv in person during this time, her communication has meant so much and has given me total peace of mind knowing he’s in such capable hands. I won’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Amy and Patrick were absolutely wonderful! They took care of Wray and Rudy so well and were very consistent with sending updates and pictures. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Ashley was FANTASTIC! She was extremely flexible and understanding when my plans were a little chaotic and changed on the fly. Both of my kiddos were taken excellent care of! I will absolutely be calling on Ashley again and again.”
“We are new to town, and first-time users of Rover, but Cassidy did a thorough job at preparing us, and made us feel at ease. She was amazing with our 2 GSPs, and kept us up to date the entire time. We will be using her again. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Haley is very reliable and went above and beyond. Our dog is one who can be a bit leery of new faces but warmed to Haley after the first visit because Haley took the time to make Elsa feel at ease. We lost all of our worries of leaving our pet behind and recommend Haley to anyone.”
“Jenna is excellent with our 1 year old boxer and 2 year old English lab. She’s always on time and keeps me updated with how the girls were for her. She is accountable and my 2 love her. It is comforting to know she can be there for them when I am traveling.”
“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
About: I’ve been passionate about working with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our family always had pets, and we spent years fostering dogs and volunteering with rescue organizations. As I got older, I expanded my experience by volunteering at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. This led to a job as a dog daycare attendant, where I had the opportunity to facilitate group play, monitor behavior, and ensure both safety and cleanliness in a busy environment. In addition to my professional experience, I also created my own dog sitting business, building a loyal clientele over the past several years. With more than a decade of experience raising family pets, fostering dogs, and working in pet care, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and a strong commitment to providing compassionate care. Whether it’s providing individual attention or managing group play, I’m dedicated to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and loved. - 10+ years raising family pets - 10+ years fostering dogs - 9 years pet sitting - 4 years as a dog daycare attendant My availability varies. Feel free to message me so we can work out a schedule! I work full time in a hybrid position and am typically free on weekends. Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority! Due to my extensive experience with animals, I am completely comfortable with any scenario that may be presented. I have worked with all sizes, temperaments, and ages of animals.
About: I've haven taking care as long as I can remember since youth. I have experience working with pets of all ages. I treat every pet like my own family. I live in a smoke free home. No kids or children live with me. I have a back yard with ton of space as well as a front porch with ton of spacing for play area. I currently do not have any pets at the moment since March, since my dog passed away. I taking the time to learn their personally, routines, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm reliable, communicative, and detailed oriented. I can provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can always have peace of mind. I make sure your pet gets personalized care and attention every step of the way. I'm currently working part-time during the weekend remotely from home. I'm extremely flexible with early mornings, evenings and weekends. Which allows me to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible to accommodate your schedule and your pets schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or my clients home, always focusing on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In my home I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I prioritize maintaining the pet's normal routine since they're most comfortable in their own environment. My goal in both setting is to make pet feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I am experienced with taking care of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and insects! I have worked at doggy daycare facilities, and as a dog trainer for both obedience and agility. I rode horses for about eight years. I currently have a praying mantis, tarantula, two jumping spiders, a cat, and a dog. I am experienced with senior dogs, disabled dogs (especially blind and diabetic dogs), and puppies. I absolutely love anything related to animals, so I am very diligent with their care! I am currently out of college for the summer, so I have availability until FRIDAY, AUGUST 21ST, 2026. Any date on, or after this day, will not be available. I can easily follow directions for your pet's care and make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy! I am a huge cleaner, so messes won't be an issue.
About: My husband and I have both owned dogs all our lives and find them to be a very important part of a family. We currently have an adopted pit bull mix named Maizie who we adore and volunteer for the organization Pitties Love Peace. We also house sit for our parents and neighbors when needed. We are very loving of all breeds and sizes as long as they are good with other dogs and kids and look forward to spending time with your pet when you are not able to. Both of our schedules are flexible, and I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If your dog enjoys walks, I would love to take them during the day or afternoon to burn off some energy. We also have a large open yard to run and play in during the day (on a lead) and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs at night. I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My husband’s schedule is fairly flexible. We’re usually available on weekends and most holidays. I keep our calendar up to date. We are dog lovers, we have one pitbull mix, who is higher energy, but gets along with all dogs. Dogs are not allowed to sleep in our bed, but they are allowed on the furniture. We can also put them in a crate if that is what you prefer.
About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.
“Kelly was great with providing us with updates on our dog during the drop in visits! We are looking forward to having her check on our dog in the future. Would highly recommend her services!”

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.
