About: Hi there! I’m a proud dog mom to Millie, my 6-year-old German Shepherd mix, and I bring over 15 years of experience in pet care. I have a natural connection with dogs and cats and truly love all animals. What sets me apart is my flexibility—I work remotely, so your pet will have plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or following specific routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I currently work remote so I have plenty of time to care for pets. That also makes me available on the weekdays and weekends for boarding Whether in my home or yours, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your pet. I provide walks around the neighborhood and stick to a schedule when needed.

“Valeria has done such a good job looking after our kitty cats. She is punctual, dependable and caring. You can tell that she really loves animals. We definitely plan to use her servuces again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every dog has their own needs. I treat pets like family and make it a priority to follow their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident your dog is being well cared for. I’m home full-time during the week, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and can adjust my routine to help keep your dog as close to their normal schedule as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always supervised and kept safely leashed while outside. Inside, I provide a calm and comfortable environment and follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to use a crate if your dog is crate trained and that is part of their usual routine.

“Sherry is the sitter for me. She takes great care of our fur family when we have to go out of town. Sherry always sends us photos and lets us know how are pets are doing….”

“This was a meet and greet, Lori was great. She asked all the needed questions. This was the first caregiver our Great Pyrenees immediately warmed up to. We feel very comfortable leaving them in Lori’s care.”


“Leylah showed up EXACTLY when she said she would. She was so communicative and nice. She sent lots of pictures and made sure I knew what was going on with my pups. Thanks, Leylah!”

About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.

About: I have been pet sitting since 2017. Along with that I have plenty of experience working with animals considering I have been volunteering at animal shelters and veterinary clinics since 2016. I previously worked at Banfield Pet Hospital where I have bolstered my skills and experience with mostly dogs, cats, and some smaller animals such as hamsters. I am confident in my knowledge of dog and cat behavior; I have the ability to restrain, administer medications, basic obedience training, animal safety, and attentiveness to your pets unique personality and overall health . I am a full time undergrad student, and I take all of my courses solely online. Meaning I am super flexible when it comes to scheduling.

This keeps me on track all day, ensuring that your pet is on a schedule so that I can create a routine that sort of helps me predict your pet’s behavior. I am very attentive, making sure that the pet is in my sight at all times, especially younger pets. Also, I do posses a certificate in animal first aid.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
