“Since this was my first time using Rover, I was a little bit nervous, but Kacie was very responsive and professional and helpful! She did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs, and I could tell from the pictures that she sent at each of the drop in visits that our dogs loved her, too! It made it so easy to not have to worry that they were being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even our family parrot for over 10 years! During that time I’ve cared for pets with varying health statuses and all kinds of personalities from playful and energetic to shy, cuddly, and everything in-between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. That’s why I always make it a priority to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and patience while keeping them comfortable in their routine. Whether your pup needs a long walk and some playtime or your cat wants a cozy companion, I’m excited to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!❤️ I am working part-time from home and am home during weekends. I have a flexible schedule so that I am able to take dogs out for potty breaks and initiate play time and snuggles with pets through the day. I have a fenced in yard and a spacious walking path, circling Lake Monroe in Sanford, FL so your fur babies can have fun and enjoy the sun! There are currently no other pets in the home, so your fur baby will have a quiet and comfortable space to lounge and play if boarding.
About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, and currently own 2 adorable dogs. I am very comfortable with feeding walking and playing with dogs I currently am working part time so my schedule is open for taking care of your fur babies for drop in visits, and dog walking. I have a spacious fenced in yard for dogs to run around in. Dogs get walked 3 times a day depending on the weather. I feed our dogs 3 times a day usually mornings afternoons and evenings.
About: I adopted my first dog with my then future husband while I was in grad school: a beautiful 7-month-old cinnamon colored pit-mix, Merrell. She had been returned to the shelter twice. The paperwork said she was "unsocializable," which was absolutely not true. She just needed time and patience. The first thing Merrell learned was how to behave around our cats. We went to training classes together and earned our AKC Good Canine Citizen Award. We even did some agility training to keep things interesting! Also, I have never not had cats. Two pairs of cats snuggled in Merrell's bed with her while she was with us. All of this to say that I love my four-footed family members. I have basic personal dog training experience, as described above, and as a former stage manager and teacher, I'm approachable, easy-going, and I have a lot of patience. My goal is to make your pet's time away from you as stress free and enjoyable as possible. For both of you! I have an adaptable schedule and can usually accommodate requests at various times throughout the day as well as on weekends. Let's talk through your schedule and work something out. I've been privileged to share my life with many cats and dogs for over 40 years. As a sitter, my policy has always been to treat them as if they were my own: with love, patience, and lots of pets, ear rubs, and chin scratches.

“Sarah is everything you want and more as a dog sitter. She’s in tune with our anxious dog’s behavior, she knows exactly how to navigate every situation, she is beyond patient, and has great animal instincts. Additionally, she is a great communicator! If only every sitter was this exceptional.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years. One of my biggest experiences was owning and caring for 12 dogs at the same time, including two separate litters from the same mom and dad. Caring for that many dogs taught me how to manage different personalities, feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, and individual attention. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, energetic dogs, and providing patient, loving care while keeping them safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule seeing I’m a stay at home mom and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve.

I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel right at home. I have experience caring for dogs(seeing i have a dog myself) and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I’ve once had 12 dogs at once so i know what it’s like to watch dogs with all different personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they are treated like family.

Ginger was awesome! I felt like she understood everything that needed to be done for my pups so I didn’t worry about them while I was away. My flight got cancelled and Ginger was able to do an extra day that was not part of our original plan. I will definitely use Ginger as my pet sitter in the future.

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.
