About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have 3! I have 2 dogs, Bailey and Gomez. Gomez is a special dog who is very reactive, which has allowed me to gain experience dealing with difficult dogs, especially on walks! I’ve been dog sitting/walking for friends and family for years and have worked with all shapes and sizes- loving every single one the same! I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and understand that each dog has its own needs based on their personalities and health. I promise to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve ☺️ I run a small business from home which allows me to have an open schedule for pet care in all varieties. This allows me to have availability to fit your schedule and needs! I will always follow instructions given to me by the pet owner, as each situation is as unique as the individual pet(s). Your fur babies will always be in a safe, caring, patient environment when in my care.
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Lexie. I'm an experienced, reliable, and compassionate animal caregiver with 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician assistant. Working in vet medicine has given me the skills to recognize changes in an animal's behavior, administer medications if needed and provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I care for both cats and dogs and am comfortable with puppies, kittens, senior pets and those with special medical needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets like they're my own. I'm also a proud pet parent to both a cat and a dog. Caring for my own pets every day has given me an even greater understanding of the patience and care pets need. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work part time. The days I work vary week to week but my schedule is flexible. Feel free to reach out on a day to day basis as my schedule changes frequently. I keep the dogs on a leash at all times unless instructed otherwise by owners. I am very alert and observant of other dogs on the sidewalk.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience that started back when I was a preteen. Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I learned early on just how much joy and connection animals bring into our lives. One of my favorite memories is teaching my first dog agility—such a fun and rewarding way for us to bond, stay active, and strengthen our communication. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets, from family and friends to new clients who instantly knew I was the right fit for their furry companion. In fact, on three separate occasions, people I met for the first time, told me right away that they could feel I was “the one” to care for their beloved pup. I believe it’s my kind, gentle spirit and open-hearted presence that animals (and their humans) naturally respond to. What sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine love and respect for each animal’s unique personality, along with my experience caring for senior dogs and those with specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Since I am currently working from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, loving care for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be present for long-term companionship and to easily accommodate any specific needs your pet may have. Since I only step out for quick errands like grabbing food or attending the occasional workout class, I'm able to regularly let pets out, check in on their wellbeing, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet enjoys quiet cuddle time, play breaks, or has unique care routines, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, supported, and loved all day long. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets exclusively in their own home, where they’re surrounded by familiar scents, routines, and comforts—this helps minimize stress and makes for a smoother experience overall. You can feel confident knowing your pets and your home are treated with the same level of care and respect I’d give my own.

About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a Christian, proud dog mom to Bailey, and an animal lover with a heart for serving others. While I'm new to professional pet sitting and dog walking, I believe what sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I know our furry friends are family, and I treat them that way! You can count on regular updates, lots of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. My faith guides me to serve with kindness, honesty, and compassion, and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family member as if they were my own. 🐾💕 I currently work full time from home which allows me to be available for care in my home. I am also free after work because i have a open schedule after work I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

From helping with the care of elder pets to training for younger ones I have experience that will make you and most importantly your pet comfortable and feel at home. Currently my schedule is mostly open on most days. I work from home so this allows me to be able to keep an eye on pets too. I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Hi I'm April and I am ready to sit your pet. I have had pets all my life and my own dogs for more than 20 years. I have 4 pets -2 dogs and 2 cats - whom get along with each other and other dogs. My large yard is fenced in and is perfect for playing fetch. I care for my children's dogs when the come to town. Sometimes my house has 5 dogs with no issues at all. I work during the week but my weekends are usually spent playing with my pets. I can do pet sitting, boarding or just visiting. My children are all grown so my pets have become my children and I will treat your pet the same way.
About: I have taken care of my own two dogs for 10 years now. I also cat sit and care for friends and family; including giving medications and special dietary needs. I work a flexible job from home and can do my best to meet your needs! I am home to take walks on my lunch break and let the dog out for frequent bathroom breaks. Fenced yard with two small dogs of my own (very friendly). I prefer to watch pets in my own home for extended stays and can be flexible.
About: Hi my name is Samantha, I have a home I share with my toddler son and we have 1 pup. We have our 10yr old small spaniel mix, Daisy, that I’ve adopted from Texas. She gets along well with other dogs & loves to play. It was apparent that she never experienced her puppy days before our family took her in. I've had her for 8yrs now and she has become so comfortable and happy in her forever home with us and is very active. She loves to go out on walks and is an even better snuggler. I have had animals my entire life so I love to play, walk and go for runs with them. They have free-roam of the house and the fenced in back yard, and I'm ok with them on my furniture. My dog loves to walk when we can get out, but if not, she loves playing outside before I leave for work and as soon as I get home she runs the back yard. I work during the day M-F, however I work from home 2 days/week. I typically spend my nights home. I am in the military reserves so 1 weekend a month I am away from my home and try not to accept sitting during those long days. I would like more company for my dog as we recently lost her older fur-sister, this has been a transition for us all losing our sweet girl. I have plenty of toys and treats, and I ensure dogs always have free roam of our space. I would just ask that I'm made aware of any restrictions, allergies, behavior issues, etc. ahead of time. I will make sure your dog has the best service and attention in my home and will keep you up to date with their activities by texting pictures and video's through out their stay if you ever wanted! I work M-F, mix-matched teleworking days (flexible). I get up in the morning to let my dog play in the back yard, then she eats before I leave for work. We like to play in the back yard every 1-3hrs and we take breaks frequently so there would be some indoor and outdoor exposure for daily play (weather pending). My yard is fully enclosed so I like to bring my dog out with me to play, sniff, lounge and anything else. I have an outside pool that is for dogs so they can get water, play in it or lay down to cool off whenever they’d like. I have a fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to play with. I also have 2 crates available as needed if it’s a preference of yours. In your home, I can follow any instructions left to make sure your fur-baby feels as comfortable as possible at home in their space without you there.
“Very happy to have had Autumn taking care of our cats! She came by for drop-in visits with our two boys and we had absolutely no problems at all, she took great care of them and they were clearly happy to play with her, she sent us pictures and updates about how they were doing and they were perfectly happy and healthy when we came home. Appreciate her taking such good care of them and will definitely be hoping to book with her again in the future!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Elma 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.

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.
