About: 20 years as a behavioralist dog trainer. For 20 years I’ve dedicated my life to helping the under dog. I’ve fostered close to 500 plus dogs between 2 rescues. I’ve seen and cared for it all. I have also helped with medically complex situations such as seizures, diabetes etc. I own 4 dogs ranging from 16lbs to 150lbs and one orange cat. I know how to keep animals safe because I personally foster some of the hardest situations. From training them as puppies to their final days of old age. I am a fun person who just wants to help where my experience comes in handy:) . I’m also a mom of 2 great grown kids that I’m incredibly proud of who have lived through my shenanigans of bringing home a new project pooch since birth. Thank you for reading my short story of something I’m very passionate about. I work part time. I am the pet sitter of my town already and thought i would branch out. I foster for a rescue out of my own home. Whether you have a fenced yard, use a tie out, leash etc I’m familiar with it all. Indoors if your fur baby free roams or crates no problem. I like to continue your routine to keep them the most comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds. Being raised around horses and dogs of various breeds makes me a perfect pet sitter for any dog family. I have experience taking care of bully breeds, hunting breeds, and small breeds specifically but all dogs are loved and welcome. I work almost every day at a local dinner and fit your pet needs around my serving job. I also have experience taking care of small mammals like guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice. I also own a crested gecko. Plus I’m well-rounded in freshwater fish care. Pet care would fit in before my shifts at the dinner I’m employed at and after my shift hours or when I’m not working. Your pet needs to come first before I clock in. I will follow any and all recommendations and needs for your pet in your home and on walks. I’ve had experience with crating, free range, lead line and shock collar boards with dogs.
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!! I am a caregiver to the elderly and disabled as well but love giving care to any and all in need!! Very easy to work with. Shoot me a text. 😉 Caregiver all around 💞 I love being of service and giving care whether it be humans or animals, I enjoy what I do. Ask me more :) I do not board animals at this time due to having my own kitten, she is being introduced to other pets but is not yet fully comfortable
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
Julie is so kind to our sweet senior kitty, giving him the affection he needs as well as handling his complex medical routines. We enjoy our vacations more knowing he’s in her care, and it’s always great to come home to a happy, relaxed cat. We highly recommend Julie; she’s conscientious, organized, experienced, and most of all, she can quickly develop a relationship with companion animals.
Every time we travel, Julie cares for our kitties. It’s great returning home to pets who are happy to see us but clearly relaxed and not starved for attention or affection. Knowing that they will be treated with kindness and respect gives us invaluable peace of mind. She’s terrific!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
