“Jayla has checked in on our pups 3 times now and each time they are well cared for and safe! We really appreciate the last minute availability because…what even are plans anyway? Thanks for always locking up and being so thorough!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for my own pets throughout my life and have hands-on experience as both a foster caregiver and dog trainer with service dogs in training. These experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, needs, and behaviors while providing patience, consistency, and plenty of love. My passion for animals also led me to earn a degree in Ecology, where I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world and the animals we share it with. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or simply some extra attention, I’m dedicated to treating them like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to care for your best friend! I also have a dog at home so I do need to care for him but other than that I’m available weekdays and weekends! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed while their owners are away. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets have fresh water and a comfortable space, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Kristine was amazing over the holiday week I was away. I got video clips and pictures every day. Lots of updates on how my cats were doing. Followed my instructions to the letter and then some. I would definitely schedule her again. Thanks again!!!”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“Michelle is wonderful with our cat! It's clear she's an animal lover and our slightly shy kitty is comfortable with her. She is great with communication and is punctual and responsible. It's a treat and reassuring seeing her photos and Rover cards every day. She even watered our garden for us while we were out of town! Highly recommended.”
“Simon took to Bri amazingly for their first time, he’s a very shy cat with new people and I can tell he felt comfortable, relaxed and happy with her visits. Everything went smoothly and will be rebooking”
“We just got our puppy and was nervous about leaving him for a concert but Ashley was amazing with him! She made me feel reassured that he was safe and being taken care of! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to people which is why I was shocked at how quickly she warmed up to Jessica. She came home very happy and tired after their hike. You can tell how much she already loves Jessica - she even jumped up by the window to watch her leave , which she doesn’t normally do for other people. Highly recommend Jessica !”
“Jenna cared for our kitty for a couple of days and did a great job. The photos we received from every visit were very reassuring because we could see our cat liked Jenna and was enjoying caring attention.”

“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Cailey took wonderful care of my kitties and made sure they had lots of play time. Cailey made sure the kitties received their meds and ate, even though they were being fussy and had her open at least 2 different cans of food while demanding to be fed in the window, on the table, and on the floor. Lol. I was very happy to see the kitties enjoying their time with Cailey.
Noah was fantastic as always. He took great care in making sure he understood all of our cats’ needs, was very considerate of time constraints, and exemplifies the kind of person we trust to keep an eye on our fur babies while we’re away. Super kind and puts a lot of thought into each booking and visit. Will absolutely book him again when needed next!
She is so accommodating! Being able to arrange a little meet and greet beforehand was nice and gave me peace of mind. My Bagel can be a little nervous around strangers, but she knows exactly how to read him and is making friends with him quickly. It’s clear she understands how to make him feel comfortable, which makes leaving him in someone else’s care so much easier. I have absolutely no worries and feel confident he’s in great hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!
Xavier was able to make some home visits while I was out of town. Onyx is a 50 lb Siberian Husky and Xavier didn't have any issues taking him out for a walk to relieve himself and also giving him fresh food/water. He made me feel comfortable leaving onyx I his care, I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Having an attentive care sitter for your beloved pet is so helpful! Jayla helped give our sweet kitty both of his medications each day while we were away and changed his litter and gave him food and it was such peace of mind knowing they were there to check on our cat! Would definitely book again!
Justina is so great! She went above and beyond to care for my sweet kitty and she took the time to understand his preferences and personality quirks - she really cares about him! Justina did a great job with his medications, feeding and cleaning, she was always on-time, she played with him and gave him the space or love he needed, and she provided me outstanding updates and photos when she was with him. I’m so glad I found Justina!
Jessica was absolutely great. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but Jessica made those nerves go away. It was hard to find a sitter a 2 months before our 5 day trip so finding Jessica was a blessing. She was great with our dogs & our dogs got along with her from day one. She was reliable, professional, punctual & most of all she truly took care of our boys as if they were hers. She sent daily videos & pictures. Always responded when we had questions. Always contacted us if she needed something. She even was available to check on the dogs during the day after our flight got canceled due to mechanical issues amd we couldn’t get another flight until Thursday night and we were panicking because our booking was supposed to end on Wednesday. She found a way to fit us in so she could stop by and check in on the dogs on Thursday morning and evening. We will definitely be using her again real soon. I highly recommend her.

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.
