About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs
“Lauren was such a kind, communicative, and flexible sitter! She gave such great updates and always sent multiple photos and videos. She even added an extra drop-in last minute. We highly recommend her and will use her again!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Gidget is a very caring and conscientious person with great communication skills. She not only took amazing care of my two cats, Bristol and Luna, but she did it during a winter storm which caused my house to lose water for two days. I had told her that my girls were extremely shy, and that she might never see them, but Gidget was determined to win them over. I was very impressed by the amount of progress she made with them in just a short period of time. When I need someone to take care of my girls in the future, Gidget will definitely be the first sitter I contact.”

“Madeline was wonderful! She was very attentive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and kept us updated with pictures every visit, which made us feel very comfortable being away from our boys. We’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
About: We provide a second family while you’re away. We take ONE furfamily at a time. Two or three families if all pups are familiar before their stay. Meet and greet preferred. Copy of up to date shots required. We’re happy to provide ours upon request. I am home all day minus taking my son to and from school and activities, never gone more than a few hours. I work from home as a registered nurse. My shifts are 2-4 hrs at a time so there is plenty of time to spoil and provide one on one time to make it feel like home. Dogs are NOT crated unless necessary or preferred by you. I have a few crates, depending on size. Preference is one the dog is already familiar with. Homemade frozen treats, fruits, and vegetables provided, please specify if you prefer no treats. You’re welcome to bring your own. We have a huge back yard (.5acre) and inside space available for those rainy days. When booking your stay please be aware paws get dirty, depending on your pets energy level we play and run hard! We rinse paws but do not provide baths. Drop off on first day before noon and pick up on the last day after noon will accrue half day charge. Plenty of long term, local references! Daily photo updates between 4-8pm, a visual day of the fur vacation. Check out our pictures to see our sleepover friends and fun! We've been lucky enough to have 5-6 frequent clients. Sadly some have passed or are in their elderly years where they're parents aren't traveling as much. Hoping to create some new clientele. If you've read this far, wow, you're awesome! Thank you ❤️😉 We love dogs and treat them like family. My boys can be loud and have little to no manners when it comes to barking so please excuse them when you arrive (even if they know you). They are my children and your dogs will be too. Their stay will be “just like home” to include going in and out 25 times a day 😉. To avoid accidents, I will not feed our animals together. My dogs are not aggressive in any way but being animals I believe it best to always be cautious. We live on a half acre with fenced in yard. All dogs are free roaming all day, they have their own gated off space when we leave. We have lots of space for play inside and out and plenty of places to rest in between.

About: I have a lifetime of experience of taking care of dogs, but I also started volunteering at a local animal shelter when I was about 10 years old, where I gained experience interacting with dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have provided daily care with dogs ranging from 15 pounds to 110 pounds and am comfortable providing attentive and loving care to dogs of any breed. I’m currently working a summer job that allows me to be flexible and change my scheduling around a little bit. In the fall, I am starting classes for college and plan on working as a CNA part-time, mostly on my days off from class which is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is undecided, but i will fit your dog into my routine more than once daily and can even stay the night at the house if it’s more convenient for the owners. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I will provide attentive care through feeding, walks around their neighborhood, playtime, and most importantly making sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my own dog, Ferg, is truly family. He has taught me just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet when you can’t be there. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give Ferg. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. Communication is a priority for me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and loved—because they deserve to be treated like family, just as Ferg is to me. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care, and I intentionally plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I have time for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean and secure, bringing in packages if requested, watering plants, and providing regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I recently lost my own dog after 8 wonderful years together, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, potty training, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love being around animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule can vary slightly week to week, but I do my best to stay flexible and communicate clearly with pet owners. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and check-ins throughout the week whenever my schedule allows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling puppies that may need extra patience or potty training support. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks and playtime. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own animals.
“We so appreciate how they went above and beyond with house visits for our pups. Great communication too! They’re dog lovers and took wonderful care of our fur babies. Highly recommend!”

“Thanks to Lisa for coming over on July 4th and taking care of the fur babies!!! I have called in her twice to help us during the holidays!! We would highly recommend Lisa to take care of your babies!!! Thanks again!!!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Friendsville 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 .

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.
