“Adrianna really took the time to get to know basil. He’s a little shy . We are really lucky to have found a caring responsible person to help us when we’re a way for too long”
About: I've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.
“This was the first time we used Christina, but it will most certainly not be the last. She paid such incredible attention to our two cats— and did everything we asked of her and then some. She took excellent care of them, offered to take packages in off the porch, she even offered to bring our garbage cans in! :-) Christina is outstanding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU!”
About: I have provided reliable dog sitting for multiple families, ensuring pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners were away. I have managed responsibilities including feeding, walking, playing, and administering basic medications. I have handled different breeds, sizes, and ages and pay attention to the each dog’s individual needs. I’m currently available all day expect between 2:30-4:30. I’m able to stop by walk, feed, and play with your dogs whenever needed! I will make sure to take each dog on as long of a walk as needed. I can take them where ever they are most comfortable or familiar with.
About: I have been volunteering in a local animal shelter for about 6 months and after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh I am looking to commit more time to helping out the people and pets in my community! In the shelter I helped admitted lost animals and I have experience walking and taking dogs out for field trips. During field trips I would walk dogs through frick park, relax on my porch, and take them to get a pup cup! I loved being able to help out the dogs and give them the love they deserve! I have passed the Fear Free shelter program and have experience with dog walking as well as caring for my family’s own cat and dog. I am excited to start this new journey! I currently work from home 9-5 in the Oakland area. I’m an active adult who already likes to walk throughout my day and would love to add a dog friend to that! I would have time at lunch, as well as before or after work to care for your dog. My lunch is flexible so I can work around you! On weekends I have open availability. In the middle of work days I would not be able to provide more than 30 minutes walking or spending time with your dog, but before/after week days and during weekends I could spent up to and hour with your dog to give them extra love! In my client’s home I would care for the pet just as you would! I would ask for and follow your instructions on how you would like your pet cared for and would of course give him or her lots of love!
“Kim is a great person who provided drop in visits for our dog Molly. We really appreciated her calm and loving demeanor with Molly. Kim is reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my family and currently have a playful 2 year old mini bernedoodle named Chesney. I have experience with different breeds of dogs as well as puppies to seniors. I have experience ranging from walks to multi day overnight stays. I’m currently a high school teacher on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available during the day and night on weekdays and on most weekends. I am flexible and can adjust to your dog’s schedule. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any medications if needed. I treat every home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Emily did a great job with Halo. She always arrived on-time and gave Halo the love and attention she needed. Her updates were also very quick with needed information and pictures! Highly recommend!”
“Angela provided such great care for our two cats! Our shy cat even came out for her! She wrote a visit summary for each visit and took lots of pics which gave us reassurance. Would definitely rebook! 😊❤️”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pet for a few days knowing that Heather would be checking in on him. She shared a daily update and prior to our trip she stopped in to meet our pet and make sure she knew exactly how to best take care of him.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover and taken care of animals since I was about 14 years old. I have fed, walked, and spend time playing with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m very comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work from 7am to 5 pm monday-thursday every week, but I’m available most evenings and have open availability from Friday through Sunday. This allows me to spend quality time walking, playing with, and caring for pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space indoors and outdoors for animals to roam freely. I treat every pet like my own by providing a safe, calm environment and making sure they feel comfortable, well cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
“Vasiliki has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She not only took excellent care of my cats, but also handled a very challenging situation with a new kitten and my cat. Her patience and gentle approach made a world of difference during this sensitive introduction period. She kept me updated every day with thoughtful messages and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring hands. I’m highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“So happy to have found Brenda on Rover! She is super reliable and manages to interact with all four of my dogs and sends me a little blip of their time together and fun pics! I couldn’t have picked a better person to be with my fur babies. Thank you!”
“Samantha takes wonderful care of our dogs. We know they will always be in good hands. She sends updates and photos and my dogs seem happy when we return. We highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Erin recently took care of my 8 month old goldendoodle. Erin did an excellent job and was very detailed in her follow up. I am happy to have found such a responsible dog lover to take care of my dog. I look forward to using Erin in the future!”
“Elisa has cared for both of our cats and our large dog. She is prompt and always sends pictures. She makes every effort to interact with our pets whenever she comes over. Everything is clean and everyone is well-cared for. Thank you for being here for us, Elisa!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Furlong
Christina was amazing with our husky lab! She gave him all of the attention, followed directions to a tee, and was very mindful of the questions she asked to make sure she was prepared to watch him. He also requires medication and she didn’t skip a beat with delivering it. Don’t hesitate to book her - she’s the best!
This is my first time hiring a pet sitter for drop-off visits from Rover.com. I like Alexandra for a reason; she took her time to visit my kitties. Got along with them. Alexandra paid attention to all the details I explained about feeding, petting, and caring for my lovely cats. I really like her. My Kitties looked relaxed and calm when we came back from the trip. Thank you, Alex!

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 Furlong 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Furlong. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
