About: Hi! My name is Dylan! I have taken care of pets for 2 years now. However, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I understand what it means to leave your pets with others, and I promise to treat your pets like the family they are! I have had dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I have helped foster kittens multiple times. There is truly nothing more important to me than building a relationship with your pets!

A large fenced backyard with a pet friendly pool. As well as, we live right by Fountain Hills Park where I will gladly take your pets to play around!
“Sibel was wonderful with our cat Bubba. He seemed to really enjoy her visits while we were away - he would greet her at the door, sit to be combed and petted, and engaged in play with the cat toys, especially the laser pointer that Sibel brought…which I’m now going to buy one! I felt that Bubba was in the best of care with Sibel! ~ Gloria Porteous”

About: From kitten rescue to care for geriatric dogs & cats, I've personally been through it all! I've grown up w/ a family who safely breeds Golden Retrievers and having all sorts of animals as pets to then caring for cats & dogs of my own. Helping others in need and providing loving, caring homes for them. Animals are family and I love them all no matter the breed, age, personality, type, or health condition(s). Keeping up with your routine is paramount so we'll come up with a plan that you feel most comfortable with, that I'm known to go above & beyond on. I have a fenced backyard, and an elderly, sweet, geriatric Westie dog to keep your fur baby company!

About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve watched friends and families dogs, fed, walked, bathed, etc. and now I am looking to expand my pet care services. Prefer hypoallergenic dogs and dogs that weigh under 40 lbs, will consider all requests depending on the dog. I always had dogs since I can remember. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home full time and can cater to your dogs specific needs. I can let them out often and we can take walks, and play! I have a fenced in yard, I can allow as much outside or indoor time as your dog is use to. My house is minimal with a lot of room for your dog to explore and or just chill out and have a calm and relaxed environment.
“Thank you so much Emma and Evelyn for spending time with our Stella and loving her to pieces!!! We always know she is safe and loved by you both which gives us peace of mind. She misses you already!”
“Brandon was great as usual I never use anyone else. He's the best the most reliable professional and the most caring about my pets. Thank you Brandon. I'm so grateful for you.!”
About: Hello I’m Ava! I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding center for awhile and also have dogsat/house sat over the summers! Learned how to manage dogs and their behavior/needs. No issue with cleaning messes and accidents, feeding schedules, or certain routines the dogs follow. We dealt with all kinds of dogs, big dogs, small dogs, active dogs, slow dogs. If the dog is on the bigger side I prefer to be warned about it because I am 4’11 and I have been easily oversized by big dogs at the daycare. I’ve also worked alongside seniors for about 2 years. I worked with independent, dependent, and sometimes memory care. Because of these two jobs, I have gained some great skills regarding caring for others Currently no job since my usual job is seasonal. I start back up in October. Open schedule pretty much most days, I do like to hangout with friends often but if any issue arises during, no issue leaving and visiting the dogs. I just prefer anything past 7-8 am, 6 am is not my strong suit. My current daily routine is waking up, going to the gym, and then whatever else I plan for that day. Pricing for taking care of your dog can vary, I’ve yet to figure out an appropriate amount per hour with rover taking out the fees and such. Able to work with any environment, can crate a dog if needed. Our yard is fenced but if owners backyard isn’t I can still watch over throughly. I’ve watched dogs in others houses and the daycare center. Either way it can be worked with.
“Amanda was very quick to respond to my last minute request and work with me on times. She asked great questions leading up to watching the doggos. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a dependable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have completed pet sitting for a pit bull over a 4-day stay and cared for three cats, including a young kitten, for 4 days. In addition, I have experience helping care for family pets, including golden retrievers and cats. I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am patient, responsible, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions so their pets feel secure and well cared for while they are away. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week in Tempe, and have plenty of free time to care for your animals, I normally am good with booking and try to care for pets every week! In my home and/or my clients home I always make sure all animals are safe and taken care of, making sure they have been fed and taken on walks throughout the day.
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
“Very friendly and reliable! I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing Gwyn was stopping by to take care of my Coco. I recommend highly and will definitely be using Gwyn again.”
About: I was born and raised on a farm in the midwest, so i’ve always had a special spot in my heart for animals. I started in high school, and have continued running my business in my early twenties. my mom is also a trusted and well known pet sitter in town, so she’s taught me everything I need to know. I’ll love your pets like my own! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment - and i’m able to take multiple bookings. The only days of the week i’m planned to be gone from home are Mon, Wed, and Thurs - 3 hours each day. Other than that i’m home full time! I’m a perfectionist at heart, and very detail oriented. So you tell me exactly how to do something, and it will get done that way!
About: I can care for feathers 🪶, fins 🐟 and fur 🐈⬛🐕. Anything you need really. I love animals and have spent my whole life working with them. I have two rescue kitties myself. I am flexible, I work for a major hospital Monday-Wednesday. This is my part time job the 4 days I’m not at work :) I really only need 24 hr notice.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort McDowell
This was our second time booking Sibel, and also the longest we'd ever been away from our two kitties, so we were definitely a little nervous. But once again, she was exceptional. You can tell Sibel really loves what she does, and it shows in the way she cares for the pets she's looking after. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were with her. She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures and videos, and made sure they had everything they needed. She always goes above and beyond and is so attentive to their needs. She followed all of our care instructions carefully and even noticed things that came up while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We're so glad we found Sibel and can't recommend her enough. We'll definitely keep booking her whenever we need someone to take care of our cats!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
