About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve looked after many different breeds and specialize in anxious dogs. You can rest assured your pet will be right at home with me and have the best time. I have one very sweet beagle who is 14 years old and sleeps a lot of the day now. At first she is shy so we’ll introduce your pup in the backyard for them to get to know one another. They’ll enjoy sunbathing in the fenced backyard and following me everywhere I go. I do not leave Taylor alone for more than a couple of hours and would love to look after your sweet pup too! Use my code SARAHS79516 for $20 off your first Rover booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/sarahs79516 I can go for walks every couple of hours and dogs can enjoy my large back-yard all day long. My schedule is flexible & I never leave them for more than a couple of hours each day. I can feed and exercise your dog often and give all the attention their heart desires. I am responsive and dependable. You can trust me to give your dog the best care and send lots of picture updates. We have a safe and clean home. Trash, cleaning supplies and food are always kept out of doggies reach. Dogs are always separated while feeding. I will love your pup like my own.
“Courtney was amazing! Both of my pets are extremely avoidant, but after just two(!) visits both of them were feeling comfortable enough with her to receive pets! She provided multiple pictures and updates daily and is extremely quick with responses, I would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have experience walking and caring for many different dogs in my neighborhood.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have always had a deep love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention on schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of affection, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
“I was pleased with Karsyn taking care of my Maggie while I was gone for a few days over Thanksgiving, She arrived on time and stayed the hour that she was assigned. She made sure to send me pictures and updates on the days she was here. I used her as a drop in caregiver for just a few days to cover during the days my regular sitter wasn't available. The only problem I had was when I contacted her I didn't realize her profile information hadn't been updated. I wanted someone to do overnight coverage which she wasn't available to do since the birth of her little boy. It all worked out as I had another gal covering the rest of the time. She and Maggie seemed to get along just fine and she was reliable. I would use her again without hesitation.”

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort McDowell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
