About: I've taken care of many animals since I was young, I've been a sitter for 2 fur babies for 2years before I moved and I do have my own sweet girl, she just turned 5 this year. I currently work part-time 4-10pm and I am a college students, so I do make time to be around fur babies, being around pets just bring me peace and happiness especially if I'm keeping company, walking or just playing. I would prefer to walk or go to the pets home, I do have children in my home that are at a very busy age.
“Sherry is amazing!! By fur baby enjoyed Sherry catering for him. I was very satisfied. She acceptes the job a day before my unscheduled trip. I appreciated that. I recommend Sherry to everyone.. Thank you Sherry!”
“Juliana was wonderful with my boys! She did some drop-in visits while I was out of town for a funeral. She was flexible, on time, stayed to play, and even cleaned up after my two large dogs. Lovely personality and very sweet. Thank you, Juliana! :)”
“Ms. Peggy was so reliable and relieved my stress when it came to leaving my cat home alone for the first time! She was easy to contact and did everything she was asked. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, and I would happily book with her again. She came every day as scheduled, took great care of my dog, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. One of my favorite parts was receiving the daily updates and photos. It was clear from the pictures that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. If you’re considering booking Ariana, don’t let the number of reviews deter you. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our cat, Zoey. I was initially anxious about leaving her, but Heather made us feel completely at ease. We will definitely be booking Heather again for our next trip out of town.”
“Micah was great. She went above and beyond. She put a package delivery, that was left outside, in the garage for us. And moved our trash out for trash day the next day. Did I say, Brody loved her. Thank you so much”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenwood
Esontay was absolutely wonderful! My girl can be very timid around new people, but Esontay was patient and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. That meant a lot to me, and it made a huge difference in how comfortable my dog felt. I really appreciated her reliability and communication, and I’m already in the process of setting up the next visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.
Amazing service! I took a chance booking for drop-in visits in my home, and she exceeded my expectations. She made me feel completely at ease, communicated consistently, and my dogs adored her. I would absolutely book her again! I truly appreciated her patience, kindness and customer service.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellenwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
