About: With over 20 years of experience, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with family pets and eventually helping neighbors with their dogs throughout middle school and into adulthood. Even today, I still help friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats regularly. I also had the opportunity to care for my own cat for 4 years, which gave me a strong understanding of feline personalities, routines, and comfort needs as well. After taking some time away in 2025 from Rover due to family circumstances, I’m excited to be back in 2026 doing something I genuinely enjoy, providing pets with a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel at home. I currently work Full-Time from home - So I am always present, and able to keep your pet on a nice schedule regarding food, play-time, and potty breaks. I'm available Monday-Sunday anytime that works best for you My home features a downstairs area where pets can roam freely. Also my development offers plenty of walking space. Plus, there are many parks nearby that provide a great spot for your pets to enjoy some running time with my family and me.

For my pets on my home as well as my clients I make sure they’re stimulated enough as well as have all the care they need.

About: I’m a single woman who recently lost my dog. I travel a lot for work but would love the companionship of a dog when I am home. I love all dogs and am truly looking forward to having some temporary fur babies as guests. I had a chihuahua and a Bassett hound. Both passed recently and it was heart wrenching. I’m looking to share companionship with all kinds of dogs during my weekends and some week days. My home is animal free. Your fur baby will receive all of my attention. There will be walks and plenty of time spent in my fenced in yard. I’m only accepting house broken dogs. I look forward to chatting with you about dog sitting your fur baby soon. Thank you.
About: I love animals, I've had them my whole life since around 8 years old. I mainly have experience with cats, dogs, and hamsters. In the past I volunteered for 2 years at the Animal Welfare Association. I worked with cats and small animals such as bunnies and guinea pigs. I can feed/give water to your pets, walk/play with them, clean up waste, give medication, as well as share photos or videos throughout the day! I can also do extra chores like bring in your mail or take out your trash/recycling as well for a small fee. If you have a pet that I don't have much experience with, just give me some instructions and I promise I'll do my best. I treat every pet like my own, so your pets are safe in my care! In my personal schedule, my parents and I take care of our dog and cat. My parents feed the pets in the morning, and I let the dog out for the bathroom daily. I feed both pets at the same time nightly. I am also the main one who cleans the cats litter box. I would prefer to be given instructions on what your pet needs, so it's less stressful on both me and your pet. I will do whatever is needed to care for your pet to the best of my abilities.

“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

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.

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.
