“I'm glad I met Michelle! I needed help watching Mickey on the holiday weekend and it was super last minute unfortunately. Michelle was available and we quickly nailed down a time to introduce my pup and get acquainted. Her and Mickey quickly fell in love and the rest was history! We did multiple drop in visits to make sure Mickey was well taken care of. All in all, Michelle was awesome to converse with, super responsive and super thoughtful and kind. I will be booking again in the future :)”
“Liliana sent me pics and freq updates. When I expressed that Dewey might be hungry bc he didn't eat in the morning, she gave me well-timed and helpful suggestions for how to get him interested in his food. It is comforting to know you're leaving your furry friend with someone who genuinely adores them!”
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
“Melissa was a lifesaver! We were already out of town when our planned pup-sitter had to unexpectedly cancel the morning of! I had never used Rover but had no other options and I’m just so glad I did! I requested an immediate visit and Melissa was right on it! Within the hour I had pics of my doggo living her best life and the text communication was beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was updated when she accepted our request, when she was on her way, multiple times while she was here during her 30 minute visit, and when she was heading out. I was so at peace knowing my girl was being loved on and taken care of even by a complete stranger who I just felt so comfortable with from the very beginning. Will absolutely request Melissa’s services again! So so grateful!”
“Angel was awesome with my girls and quickly warmed up to her. She offered a meet up prior to booking and was flexible enough for an extra drop in on the day it was requested. Plus reasonable drop in costs. Would absolutely book again”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.
About: I have a lot of experience with taking care of different kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. I have a deep love and care for animals of all sizes and breeds. During my last two years of high school I under took courses of veterinary science and pet care so I learned many skills when it comes to caring and helping pets. I currently own one husky out of 5 huskies and 1 Boston terrier that me and my family have. I have learned so much about dogs throughout my years with them and love them dearly. I have also taken care of kittens and cats during my years of school and when asked to babysit or groom them from neighbors or family members. My world revolves around animals due to my deep care for them and my career choice. I make time for my pet needs and make sure they live a spoiled life. I understand the worry of any pet parent would have so I would be very open and willing to do anything they ask of me to care for their loved one. I too would want nothing but the best for my pet and I’m more than confident I can provide that for any pet parent!
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
About: I’ve helped raise and take care of dogs since I was 10 or so. We’ve had several litters of puppies that we had to raise and get rehomed as well as various animals to include cats, dogs, and smaller animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. Each animal has its own personality and that makes working with them so special. I have flexibility to stop in the middle of the day during the work week to check in on your pet and provide the care needed on a daily basis. I also have open availability on the weekends and evenings to check in as needed. I try to treat each animal how I would like my animals to be treated. They are alive and have personalities that should be tailored to the approach you give the pets. That’s my philosophy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets and just care for their loved one. I enjoy playing and making your pet feel loved. Taking your loved one (animal) on long afternoon/nightly walk would would be peaceful and enjoyable. Your loved one (animal) will enjoy the breeze and just have a relaxing walk/play date. I have a fenced yard, if your instructions require for crating I will do so. I will be with your loved one (animal) every minute until my visit is over.
About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.
“I booked with Ms. Heather and she was so sweet! She did a meet and greet and sent me lots of updates whenever she came to walk max. It was very last minute and she still agreed and did a great job!”
About: I became a dog owner in 2020 when I got my first French Bulldog, Hank McCoy, and I’ve been hands-on with caring for and training my dogs ever since. I’ve personally trained all of my dogs at home, focusing mainly on basic obedience, household manners, and everyday routines. Some of the commands I’ve worked with include sit, stay, down, come here, stop, paw, move, up, no, go home, night-night, and go potty. I’m not a professional dog trainer, but I’m comfortable reinforcing the commands, boundaries, and routines your dog already knows. I understand that consistency matters, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. My experience as a dog owner has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to a dog’s body language, personality, comfort level, and individual habits. I try to be patient and let each dog settle in at their own pace while giving them plenty of attention, structure, playtime, walks, and affection. I treat the dogs in my care the same way I’d want someone to treat mine; with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care already fits naturally into my everyday routine since I have a pup of my own. Walks, potty breaks, playtime and plenty of lounging around are already part of the schedule over here! I’m flexible and intentional about making time for the dogs in my care, and I’ll always do my best to stick to your pup’s normal feeding, walking and bedtime routine. I want their stay to feel like a little vacation too not like they’ve been dropped off at daycare. 🐾 I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a small dog of my own, so I like to learn about your dog’s personality and how they do around other dogs before their stay. We spend most of our time upstairs, so the space has a cozy, apartment-style feel where I can keep everyone close and supervised. We also have a fenced backyard with a working garden. Because of that, outdoor time is supervised rather than just opening the door and letting everyone loose. Your pup will still get plenty of potty breaks, walks, fresh air, playtime and attention. I’m also happy to follow the boundaries you use at home; whether that means crating, certain sleeping arrangements, feeding separately, or keeping up with specific commands and routines. My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and for your dog to leave wondering when they get to come back. 😂❤️

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
