“By far the best experience we have had on Rover in the 2 years we have been using it. Incredibly attentive and communicative. This was the first trip where we were not worried or nervous for our cats wellbeing while away.”


About: I have the biggest heart for dogs and if I can show them love while their owner is away I would be so so grateful! I am an active duty soldier who loves taking care of pets since I can’t have one of my own long term due to the lifestyle. I have taken care of pets on and off post and it’s always manageable! I make sure to ask the owner for all things about the pet and always provide updates. I love to get them excited and happy with playing outside or going on a nightly walk before bed.

About: I have worked in a mix of animal care, environments, includinga rescue, multiple dog daycare/boarding facilities, grooming, and volunteered at pet shelters. I understand how important exercise can be for all fur babies. I believe a positive and vibrant environment benefits all pets. All animals need attention and I am willing to give them 100% and nothing less than satisfactory. I carry portable bowls, water bottles, snacks, and clean up bags on hand at all times. Expect photo updates of your precious fur babies during walks and boardings. During my time, I learned about appropriately introducing dogs, how to care and attend to every dogs need, and how to interpret their behavior. Your family member will not go without walks, play time, food, water, snacks, kisses, cuddles, and of course loads of love.
About: On and Off base services. Have been dog sitting since I was a teenager. Dogs are blessed angels who deserve all the love and affection. I will treat your pet like my own and give them all the love they deserve. Have a large Great Dane so dog size is not an issue, have had everything from a wiener dog to a horse. Have birthed and raised litters of puppies as well as bottle fed puppies with cleft plates in mouth. Never afraid of any dog, if your worried your dog is “aggressive” it is not a worry to me. Getting out the army and have nothing but free time on my hands to work. Can be available on short notice to provide care to pets Have fenced yard and senior Great Dane that loves to play, I keep my dog inside most the day and only outside for walks or bathroom breaks.

About: I have hands-on pet care experience, including feeding, grooming, walking, understanding each pet’s unique personality, and ensuring animals feel safe by creating a calm, trusting, and joyful environment. As an active duty service member, I offer dependable, disciplined, and compassionate pet care, available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and anytime during the weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by creating a calm and clean environment, following each pet’s routine, and giving them attentive, loving care like family.
About: I've always loved pets since I was little. I currently have a dog and two cute little turtles who I love and take care of. I've had my dog for about 6 years now. But my family has always been big on dogs I've been around them ever since I can remember.🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, timely feedings, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I make pet care a priority and am committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow feeding schedules, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, administer medications if needed, and give plenty of affection and supervision. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Tessa did an amazing job checking in on our 3yo cat while we were away for a long weekend. She had great communication before the booking and during each visit with lots of pictures!. Our cat absolutely loved her and her visits. He is usually shy meeting new people so it says a lot about her personality that he immediately warmed up to her wanting company, playtime, and cuddles. We will definitely want to book Tessa again the next time we go out of town!”

“I can count on Bailey to take great care of my pets when I’m out of town—she always goes above and beyond making sure to give them lots of quality attention. Anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter in the area would be lucky to have her!”

“Kelsey was a gem. My other sitter had to cancel right before my trip and Kelsey came through for me. She was always prompt to respond to me. She felt free to ask me any questions to make sure everything went smoothly with my cats. She was very kind and polite. Because of her I had a worry-free trip.”

“Courtney took very good care of our cats. Shy, scared of strangers Rascal even let her pet him! We knew what was going on the whole time. Got pictures every day. We were very pleased.”

“Alysha was fantastic!! She did absolutely everything we asked and then some to take care of our zoo while we were out of town. We would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets!”

“Natasha was wonderful with our very spoiled cat. She was able to help out at the last minute when another provider had an emergency. She treated Malakai as her own, and sent plenty of pictures showing a very happy kitty cat.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets. Specifically with dogs, I’ve raised a litter of puppies, trained a bird hunting dog, and trained three dogs for my parents. My hobbies typically involve dogs, and I’ve found myself to be very patient with all dog personality types. I’m great with puppies, senior dogs, and adult dogs. My school schedule is typically the same throughout the weekdays, but the hours allow me to spend a lot of time with your pets in the mornings and evenings. I sometimes get done in the early afternoons as well! I’m available everyday of the week in the later part of the days, and most weekends! I would love to be able to share my great amount of down time with your furry friends! I like to follow the instructions of the client when asked to care for their pet. If pets are allowed to roam free while alone, I always ensure there are no potential hazards for them to get into, and any rooms that are off limits have doors closed. Personally, I offer multiple opportunities to go outside for bathroom breaks and to play throughout the day. I use excitement and calmness when interacting with the pet to keep them engaged. When the pet makes it clear they want attention or to play, I give it to them and do not pick a phone/computer over them. The dogs I grew up with, were on a strict time feeding schedule, so I understand the importance of feeding other pets on their schedule as well.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my three pets! They all loved her right away, which says a lot especially because my cat usually doesn’t let anyone touch her, but she trusted Abigail enough to let herself be handled and cared for. Abigail was very attentive, followed all the notes I left, and made sure each of my pets was comfortable, clean, and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Simran was very friendly and easy to work with! Loved getting photos of my cats and that she spent time with them while I was gone. Highly recommend! I will be using Simran again in the future.”

About: I have always had a dog in my life since being born. From either owning my own, fostering pups, or helping take care of roommates' dogs. I love all kinds of breeds, especially pitty. I work full time from 6 am to 2 pm Monday though Friday. Typically weekends are open to any schedule. With some long weekend throughout the year. I live in a duplex, with no fenced in yard. I have one dog that has free range of the house. Any are aloud anywhere. I do have access to get on base for Fort Riley.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Riley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
