About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

About: I grew up helping my parents breed German Shepherds and Rottweilers, and spent my childhood surrounded by Huskies, Min Pins, Boxers, and Golden Retrievers. Over the years, I’ve personally raised several puppies—including a Jack Russell Terrier, two Corgis, and a Shetland Sheepdog—which taught me patience, consistency, and how to support dogs through every stage of development. I’ve completed training courses with all of my pets, working on recall and foundational commands like sit, stay, roll over, and fetch. I also have lifelong experience caring for cats. I’ve raised kittens, supported senior cats through their later years, and understand how important it is to move at their pace and respect their boundaries. Along with senior‑pet care, medication administration, grooming, and daily routines, my background gives me a calm, confident approach to animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. A lifetime of hands‑on experience truly sets me apart and helps me provide reliable, compassionate care for every pet I meet. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I’m currently a full‑time online student with a very flexible schedule. Since I’m not working outside of school, I’m able to offer care any day of the week with only a few time restrictions that shift depending on class requirements. This flexibility allows me to provide daily walks, drop‑in visits, house sitting, or consistent care for pets who need support while their owners are at work. I enjoy building pet care into my day, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each animal’s needs and comfort level. Before caring for any new pet, I always start with a meet‑and‑greet to understand their routine, personality, and any unique needs. I talk with owners about feeding schedules, reactivity, medication requirements, and comfort levels so I can follow their expectations exactly. In a client’s home, I maintain their established routines, keep pets calm and comfortable, and make sure their environment stays clean and safe. My goal is to provide care that feels familiar to each animal while giving owners confidence that their pets are being looked after with attention and respect.

“Shawna was fantastic! In addition to taking great care of my dogs, she communicated often and sent photos. I would actively seek to work with Shawna again in the very near future based upon her competitive rates, communication skills, and overall stellar performance in taking care of my dogs while I was away. 5-Stars.”

About: - I'm a passionate animal lover who works full-time from home. I have the flexibility to choose my hours so I can accommodate drop-in pet visits, dog walking and boarding. I have extensive experience doing all three. We see this as experience to make some extra money and make some new animal friends. -I live with my boyfriend, 3 kids, 14 year-old female chocolate lab (fully vaccinated and fixed), 4 year old chocolate Lab (fully vaccinated and fixed) and a 4 year old female Dachshund mix (fully vaccinated and fixed). My dogs love other dogs. They are also VERY gentle with older animals or animals with injuries. My kids are disciplined and understand how to handle all sorts of animals and personalities. -We have several environments available to accommodate different animals and personality types. We have a large outdoor enclosure, an indoor large dog kennel and a great neighborhood for dog walking. We welcome pets on the couch! I work from home so I can accommodate pet schedules easily. If I need to leave the house for any reason, I have large kennels and fenced outdoor areas if necessary. I’m very sensitive to pet’s needs. I’d like to know what a pet prefers when it comes to their daily feeding routine and their comfort with other pets.

If things go well here, I hope to have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons free too. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to play and lots of toys.

About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
