“Halie did a wonderful job dropping in on our diabetic cat twice per day (feeding, injecting, and giving our cat her love and attention). We're so glad we found her, and will not hesitate to use her again!”

About: Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely cared for, safe, and spoiled! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience working in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and a veterinary clinic. I’m trained in administering medications, reading dog behavior, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like family and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy environment while you’re away! I am home full time as a stay at home mom of 2! i am able to do drop in visits as well as daycare! I have a larger fenced in yard, and have been trained to watch for social cues in animals when in a group setting. Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.
About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and bring a calm, patient vibe to every visit—but I love dogs just as much, so tail wags are always welcome too! I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, whether that means cozy cuddles, zoomie-fueled playtime, or just being a reassuring presence while you’re away. Expect plenty of pets, play, fresh food and water, and a sparkling clean litter box for cats—or fun walks, outdoor time, and belly rubs for dogs. Based in Cincinnati, I offer pet sitting and drop-ins across the metro area. My flexible schedule (and free weekends!) means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m experienced with oral and topical medications and treat every furry friend like my own—because they deserve nothing less 🐾 I'm currently on the hunt for a new Agency position, so my days and weeks are completely free currently. Able to be booked at any time. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, because every animal has their own routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible—sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite playtime activities. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with fresh food and water, and I keep their spaces clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.). For dogs, that usually means walks, outdoor time, and lots of play (plus belly rubs, of course). For cats, I match their vibe—whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship and gentle pets. I’m also experienced with oral and topical medications and always keep an eye on behavior and health, so I can catch anything unusual early. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.

“Danielle was amazing. I don't think I could've asked for a better experience when it comes to watching my dogs. I get nervous leaving my dogs, but Danielle 100% put my mind at ease. If I ever need to use Rover in the future, Danielle would absolutely be my choice.”
About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I also trained my dog and assisted with others for 9 years through Tipton Co 4-h. I love to watch dogs play and take them to the park if they’re allowed. They bring joy to my heart. I’m currently unemployed due to a temporary disability. I need at least 4 hours a day to leave the home for appointments and ensuring my grandmother is getting along alright each day. We have no animals so I look forward to each pet that I sit. I do pet care in the clients home. I’m willing to walk your pets each day, and I love to play with all animals. I am able to brush pets if needed as well as brush teeth and syringe feed.

Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.
“Brooklynn was great! She took great care of our three pups and also went above and beyond by feeding one of our horses for us. The process was smooth and straightforward. I would 100% recommend her and use her services again.”

“Elizabeth did a great job of taking care of my cats. She came everyday and sat with them too… a first in pet sitting for me. Incredibly trustworthy, super sweet, and a pleasure to meet; will be booking Elizabeth on my next trip away, for sure!”


About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was a kid when friends or family went out of town. I love my own dog like my best friend and I always love playing with him and taking care of him. I’ve trained my dogs myself and I always love it! Happy to help in any way you may need. I work on tuesdays and thursdays and as a musician I play piano in my free time. I’m free 24/7 except for tuesday’s and thursday’s which i’m free after 2pm!

“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elwood 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.
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 .

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.
