About: I’ve cared for pets personally for years and understand the importance of routines, exercise, attention, and patience. I’m reliable and focused on making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while owners are away. I’m very flexible during the week/weekend and respond quickly! Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work regular daytime hours and have evenings and weekends available. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention while keeping owners updated. I also work 5 minutes away from my house, and I have flexibility over my schedule completely so it makes things much easier. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During dog walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to surroundings to ensure safe, controlled walks. When pet sitting in homes, I carefully follow all instructions, keep pets on their normal routines, and make sure the home is secure before leaving. For cat check-ins, I provide food, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and calm attention based on each cat’s comfort level. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and aim to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Jenny provided excellent care to Cleo! This is our third time booking with Jenny and really appreciate all the personalized feedback she provided and updates on our little while we are away! High recommend!”
“Ansley is a great sitter and a kind and sweet person. She has taken care of our pets a few times now and each time she has shown excellent service, flexibility, and respect to us, our pets, and our home. We appreciate her help and continue to look forward to her service to our furbabies.”
“Jamie and her daughters took amazing care of our three cats while we were away. She sent many pictures and updates each day right at the time I requested drop-in visits. I would choose Jamie again in a heartbeat.”
“LeeAnna was a Godsend for our family as we just moved to the area 8 days before our scheduled vacation. She was quick to respond to our request. She came over to meet us and our pups before our vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of our pups, and sent pictures and updates at each drop in visit. Her sweet boys also came along to love on our pups which was great since they are used to having our kids around. She even brought our trash out and checked our mail for us. Knowing that LeeAnna was checking in twice a day gave us so much peace of mind. She even gave us weather updates and went back to let our pups inside on stormy days. We cannot say enough about how wonderful LeeAnna was. We will definitely book with her again for future vacations!!”
“Tressa and Blake were highly communicative, reliable and professional with me. I highly recommend them for drop in visits for your cats and dogs, and administering oral medications to your animals if needed!”
“Alex was great! She gave updates on how her interaction with my cattos went. She also went above and beyond when l asked if she could return to my home to turn the heat on after her visit had ended meant everything. 🥹 Very quick responses and cared for my cattos as if they were hers. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, they seem to know that I love and care for them immediately. I’ve had the most antisocial pets snuggling me within the first few minutes of knowing me.

This is my only obligation and it’s what I’m passionate about, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Every pet is different and has their own routine they’re accustomed to. I try to know as much about their day to day as much as I can prior to, so I can provide the best and most comfortable experience for your babies! I’m very adaptable, so anything I haven’t done before I will learn quick. I will treat each and every client, (and their pets) with respect and honesty.

About: I have grown up taking care of numerous animals, including inside dogs and hunting dogs, bearded dragons, fish, cats, birds, etc. I also frequently pet sit for friends and family when needed, and have been doing so for years! ❤️ I am currently working part time, usually from 4:30-9:30 throughout the week and on Saturdays (besides Mondays). I am also in school at CSU, but classes are over for the Summer 😊 I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and play as well as a friendly poodle to keep your babies company (they can be easily separated if needed) !!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellerslie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
