About: Hi! My name is Kendra, and I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for many different animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets, and recently I’ve also gained experience fostering animals, including kittens. I’m currently a student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time giving pets the attention and care they need. I have four friendly dogs and one cat, and caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I have a fenced yard, as well as crates and a kennel available if needed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. From pigs to dogs, I have taken care of a lot of animals. I started off pet siting for family members and friends and recently started caring through Rover. I love the community on the app and have had so much fun getting to know everyone’s pets. I am currently a full time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I play collegiate softball which has shown me positive time management skills. I work part time as a mobility tech at an hospital and have worked multiple other jobs. Because I only work part time, my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one dog and two cats at home. My dog is full of energy so I am in charge of taking him on walks and outside on the daily. My cats are very low energy and love to sleep. I am able to care for high energy or low energy animals since I have experience with both.
“Darriell was amazing from beginning to end. Took great care of Zeus and went above and beyond to ensure the entire booking went flawless. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
About: Truly love animals. I can provide excellent references that will confirm that your will be loved and your home will be safe while ai am there. I I will walk your dogs in my care and play with them outside. Animals sleep with me unless the owner would rather they were caged. If medicine is required I would be diligent to administer to your pet. During the day animals sit in my lap or lay on the couch beside me. Your pet will be very loved from the beginning! I'm retired and home the majority of the time. For trips to the bank or drive thru, dogs go with me and ride shotgun safely. We will follow your dogs daily routine and adhere to any rules and regulations about your pet and your home. Some dogs would rather not go on walks and I'm good with that.
“Bailey was brave enough to hang out and play with my giant Main Coon named Charlie. That is no small feat! She is one of the only humans that Charlie warmed up to so she obviously does well with cats! Bailey is on time and communicates very well! I’ve booked her 3 separate times and never worry about Charlie!”
About: I have experience pet sitting, housesitting, and live with three dogs of my own. I love animals and helping people with their pets. I offer photography services, lots of cuddles, and will love your dogs like you do! I work during the week and choose to relax by taking care of and playing with dogs! There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people and caring for pups. I always make sure to spend time with dogs while not leaving them alone for long periods of time. When their family leaves, it can be stressful for pets and I do everything I can to make it easier for them.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for a Golden Retriever, a Husky, and a Jackapoo, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have four cats of my own, so I am also very comfortable caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. Through the years, I have gained experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and providing pets with a safe and loving environment. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they were away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands.

I am available for evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, and I have open availability on weekends.

I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and will treat them as if they were my own.

Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.
Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.
Abby was a life saver for our last minute dog walking booking while we went on vacation! Our dog stayed with my mom, who told us our dog was very comfortable with Abby and she was very communicative regarding pick up times and how our puppy was doing on the walks. Abby even sent us a cute video of our dog while walking which reassured us she was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!

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 Garden City 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
