About: Working from home has been bittersweet this past year. But if you get caught up with work, whether at the office or at home, or if you get stir crazy and decide to take a little vacation, I can help take care of your furry family so you can be at ease. About this sitter: My name is Shayna and I am a 29 years old. I worked in an animal hospital for roughly 3 years, hands on in the kennel, bathing and even with the technicians. I took classes to study vet assistant but had life changes that out that on pause. I have been a dog lover since I was born, growing up with dogs my whole life. When it comes to a favorite breed I do adore pitbulls just like my own, but every type of dog has a special place in my heart. *** PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER: I am currently 5 months pregnant but still mobile, active and able to walk and check on smaller/medium dogs at this time! I have no medical restraints at this time. Once it gets closer to my due date and/or I’m unable to move as much, my calendar will be closed.** Why I love dog sitting I've been around dogs my entire life. Since I was a young girl, there has always been a dog in my home. My first dog was an independent energetic Australian shepard named Missy. After her, for majority of my life my family had a half Irish Setter half Labrador named Rebel. I've also taken in my roommates 12 year old Yorkshire terrier Harvey. Although I don’t currently have a dog, dog walking gives a chance for both myself and the pet to get some fresh air, exercise and explore. About my yard My backyard is small fenced in with a porch and lawn. We also have an open area outside of the fence and plenty of places to take walks. My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable with the proper information given. I am currently working from home, so before work, lunch and after work are easily doable to care for pet needs. Lunch time is flexible and can adjust when needed. I am currently not accepting any pets in my home, only as it is not an ideal space at this time. However, there are plenty of areas to walk safely nearby. In your home, I’ll make sure to let the animals feel comfortable as I’m in their space, and we’ll find designated and safe areas to let them use and explore.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Empire
Leslie is truly phenomenal. She goes far beyond basic house sitting, and the cats absolutely adore her. She keeps me updated on everything happening at the house, from dealing with ants to bringing in the garbage cans. The best part is her daily updates with commentary and photos, which I genuinely look forward to every morning.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
