“Heather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and have a natural connection with dogs—they’re instantly comfortable around me! I’m a lifelong dog owner and cared for my Doberman Pinscher for 12 years until he passed in 2020. I currently have two dogs of my own: Kush, a male Rottweiler, and Bentley, a male Yorkie. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and quality care, and I’m happy to treat your dog like my own. I have experience with puppy potty training, basic commands, and simple tricks. I’m available for dog walking Monday through Friday (contact me for weekends). Feel free to message me anytime! Im currently looking for a job but in the meantime I am available during the weekdays Monday through Friday. I am not available during the weekends. I live in an a town-home, it is a safe and a very friendly neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard big enough for playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Vivi helped me on short notice! She exhibited genuine concern for my animals and was quick to communicate. I truly appreciate her caring and confidence. I have no doubts that I will use her in the future.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.
“Imani is great! She is communicative and excellent at following instructions. Her dog ace is well trained and makes for an excellent companion dog on her visits. We look forward to having her as our long-term pet sitter. HIGHLY recommend. ☺️”
About: Hello! My name is Kayla I’ve been taking care of animals for over 6 years! I started pet sitting with my grandma at age 12 and started doing it on my own shortly after. I’ve worked at a shelter for over a year and now currently work as a vet assistant. I’m comfortable with all animals of any age or size! My number one priority is for you to feel at peace knowing your fur baby is in good hands:) At the moment my schedule is completely open. I can come anytime needed or do overnights. I will always make sure my calendar stays up to date! My main goal is to always prioritize the safety of the animal! I will usually ask for a time schedule/ and how you wish your dog to be cared for, whether it be walks only, only in the fence, etc.
About: Since birth I've always had pets. From dogs,Cats and reptiles but dogs will forever have my heart. I’m a huge sucker for big dogs I’ve had cane corso and husky my whole life.

I provide a happy , safe, and healthy stay for my/your dog whether that means taking them on a walk, making/feeding them healthy treats !
“Kendall was a great cat sitter - communicative, attentive, and easily got along with my cat! I was so thankful he was available during the holidays to watch over her. He was my first experience with Rover, and he made it a great first experience!”
About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
I’m thankful to have had some great Rovers in the last but Heather truly blew me away! It was so obvious how much she cared about making sure my cats had a calm, clean, and enjoyable home to be in while I was away for some time, and I’m so extremely grateful for her attention to detail and communication, would book again and again.
As always, Bessie is amazing! Our pup absolutely loves her! She’s great with communication, and you can tell just from the pictures she sends how happy he is during her check-ins. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our fur baby is in such good hands. We never have to worry when Bessie is taking care of him, and that means everything to us. She’s our go-to pet sitter, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! ❤️🐾
Danielle was very pleasant and great with Butter! She did a check-in visit to feed and walk him, Butter was in great hands, she made sure he was fed, exercised, and gave some companionship while we were away. Her communication was prompt, along with updates. I will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again when Butter need another visit!
She really went above and beyond taking care of my cat. I got thoughtful updates, photos, and could tell my cat was genuinely comfortable and cared for the whole time. It made being away so much less stressful. I came home to a happy cat and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.

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.

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 .
