About: I grew up with my mom finding strays to care for and finding them homes. I've always wanted my own. I've had my dog for 4 years and adopted my kitten a few months ago! I am mostly free on weekdays and most weekends so any day works for me to give your pets my undivided attention and my best care. I will be able to drop in and hang out with your pets as long, or as many times as needed to make them and yourself more comfortable!
“Cameron was an amazing dog sitter! He did a wonderful job with our timid female dog and was so patient and gentle with her, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He even washed our dogs’ bowls before we got home, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and everything was in great shape. We highly recommend Cameron and would absolutely trust him to watch our dogs again!”

“Tiffany checked in as scheduled each day and always sent photos of our kitties! One of our boys is prone to litter box accidents and she handled cleaning it up each time it happened. They definitely enjoyed having her stop in each day when we were gone 🐱”
“Lexi was absolutely amazing with my fluffy bumpkins! She visited her every day and gave her all the love and attention. When we returned from our cruise, our kitty cat was safe, fed, and happy. We really loved the personalized update some photos that Lexi would send to us. Will absolutely use her again in the future. She’s an excellent pet sitter!”
“From the very beginning, she has been incredibly supportive and attentive. Her patience and understanding nature truly shine through in her work. She goes above and beyond to ensure that my fur family’s needs are met, demonstrating genuine compassion and dedication.”
“Cydnee was amazing! She made us feel comfortable leaving our pets at home knowing someone was going to love on them and take care of them in our absence. She sent us detailed notes and pictures to reassure us! She even arranged a time to come meet our let’s prior so they would be used to each other and I so appreciated that. We will totally be booking her for future trips! Thanks Cydnee!”
“Kaylee is always so wonderful. Our picky little cats love her. She is very responsive and thoughtful. Super trustworthy. We will always ask her to come back and watch the kitties when we go out of town.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life. Growing up around both dogs and cats, I learned early on how important patience, consistency, and affection are when caring for pets. My aunt was a dog breeder, and she taught me so much about animal behavior, training, and responsible pet care from a young age. Rescuing animals has always been close to my heart, and I have experience training my own pets using positive reinforcement. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I love giving plenty of attention, playtime, belly rubs, and (of course) treats and snacks with your permission. I genuinely spoil my own animals, and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I watch. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention they get at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. I believe pets thrive on consistency and attention, so I make it a priority to keep their routines as close to normal as possible while their families are away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. I care for pets every day by making sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and a consistent routine. Their health and happiness are my top priorities, so I stay on top of feeding schedules, fresh water, grooming, potty breaks, and regular playtime. I’ve also trained my own pets using positive reinforcement, and I enjoy continuing to teach them new skills while reinforcing good habits. Because I truly see my pets as family, they’re showered with love, attention, and the occasional treat (when appropriate). I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own.

About: I grew up watching my neighbors dogs, cats and ferrets. I fed, played, went on walks and kept them company. I’ve been a dog owner for 5 years.

At your home I would follow any rules you have with them and I’d come up with a game plan with you about feeding, and outdoor activities.

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.

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.
