About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant. I have hands-on experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues, caring for pets of all ages and needs. I'm passionate about providing safe, reliable, and loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind when they're away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the time and able to provide consistent supervision and care for pets. My goal is to provide reliable, dependable care and maintain open communication with pet owners so they always feel confident their pets are being well cared for. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During each visit, I ensure pets have fresh water, meals as instructed, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow each pet owner's care instructions, including medication schedules, feeding requirements, and any special needs. Safety is my top priority. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, monitor pets for signs of illness or distress, and provide updates to owners during their time away. I treat every home with respect and strive to create a trustworthy, stress-free experience for both pets and their families.
About: I am a pet parent of an 8 year old Boston Terrier, a re-homed Chihuahua, a 3 years old kitty and a new kitten. Previously I raised three other Boston Terriers from puppyhood until each of their passing and a cat with FIV. I am experienced with puppies & kittens, adult dogs & cats, and senior pets as well as pets with illnesses. I have had kitty training as well as dog handling training through the Denver Dumb Friends League. I believe pets are family members and are to be treated with love and respect. Wheather your pet is at my house or I am at yours, you'll never have to worry about their well-being and will always know your pet is safe. This is my promise to you!

About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away!

Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Alena did a great job! She offered a meet and greet prior to our trip and then was able to send pictures of our cats as well. She came at the same time each day and was very respectful and communicative throughout. We will definitely book with her again! Thanks again Alena!”
About: Hi! My name is Santi and I love animals of all kinds. Growing up, I always had pets - dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, pretty much every rodent - you name it. I loved animals then and still love them now! My mom trains dogs so I’ve learned quite a bit from her about dog behavior and best training practices. From growing up around pets, I know they all have their own quirks and specific language, and their care must be tailored to them. I am excited to learn from them and you about how to love and care for them best :) I work from home two days a week, with most of my free time in the evenings, though I am a mental health therapist so my schedule can vary day to day. I often have time in the middle of the day to check on pets. Pet safety and comfort is a priority. If there is anything specific they need to feel safe and be safe, please let me know! I’ll make sure to respect your pet’s boundaries, and go slowly and calmly as co-regulation can be a huge part of keeping pets calm. I’m careful about things laying around they could get into, as well as making sure doors are closed/locked. Let me know what to watch out for!

About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients!

I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.
About: I have newly received my Bachelor’s degree in Canine Training and Management at SUNY Cobleskill. My husband is a soldier at Fort Carson so I can easily get on base. The classes I have have taken covered basic training, walking, reading body language, and basic care/matinence. I have both experience working at a Doggie daycares and a grooming facility. I just completed my internship at Ridgeside K9 in Nashville TN, there I worked with a variety of breeds ranging in different sizes and temperaments.

I typically start my days around 9 a.m. and am up pretty late at night. I am currently renting and taking care of my three dogs so I am unable to house pets. I keep a strick schedule for feeding and giving medications often using lists to keep everything on track. My husband is able to take care of the dogs if I need to be away for any reason.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
