“This was my first experience using Rover, and Emily was the best! She was very communicative, send updates and pictures, and helped ease any fear or anxiety surrounding leaving my little kitties alone. 10000/10 stars for Emily!!”

“Elisha was phenomenal in taking care of my baby. She sent updates, pictures, and action shots. I was never nervous about him the whole week I was gone. She was that great at updating. This is the first time I have let a stranger watch my dog so I was extremely nervous leaving, but her updates put my mind at ease. We did a meet and greet/run through of care before I left. Booster (my dog) interviewed her and gave the signal she would be a good fit to care for him. She followed instructions well and gave exceptional care. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”

About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years.

About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs. For the last 3 years, I have also volunteered as a dog walker for an animal shelter. I feel comfortable around most types of dogs and cats, and I would love to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently have 2 cats of my own while living in KC for Grad school. I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.

“Hayley took care of my disabled cats very well and followed all the instructions. She sent me pictures throughout the whole thing. I will be booking again she went above and beyond. Best sitter I’ve had.”
“Ashlyn was amazing! She sent pictures to me for each visit, let me know when she arrived and left each time, and what Maui did while she was here. When we got home, we also had a cute snapshot of Maui laying on the counter. Ashlyn went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her!”

I just recently lost my sweet boy, who was very elderly. I took care of him daily to clean his ears, help him up and down stairs, as well as helping him eat. I have a very wide experience of taking care of pups! I currently working full-time as a physical educator, as well as a volleyball coach. I am available evenings and weekends all day!

“Great person to do business with, went above and beyond her service to my dogs , even with bad weather she still took care of my fur babies. I highly recommend her for your fur babies”

“Marianne was absolutely delightful at our meet and greet, and the gang 🐾 loved her from the start! The pics each visit felt very personal, and I knew my babies were in good hands!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and consider them to be apart of my family. This experience has allowed me to know how to care for many types of dogs. I currently have a pitt mix. I treat any dog as if they were my own! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule has a lot of open time, and I am hoping to fill that with making connections with not only the dogs, but with their owners as well! I want to be able to provide your furry babies with love and affection while your schedule may become busy and hectic. Thank you so much for allowing me to assist you, and provide for these furry babies!
About: Hi my name is Tony Navarro, I look forward to watching your furry family member(s). I have been around dogs since I was a child and I currently have two of my own a Boston Terrier (Boomer) and a miniature Poodle (Coco). Both of my dogs are neutered and house-trained. Coco loves to eat, sleep, and snuggle. Boomer is highly energetic, funny and loves to play. My dogs enjoy the company of other dogs. I live in a small quiet community with a fenced backyard. I enjoy hanging out with my dogs outside and like to keep them active. I’m free on the weekends so I’m able to dedicate more time to the dogs. My dogs and I would love to have some friends over. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. **Meet and greet is required for all services**

About: I’ve have taken care of animals my whole life. Both of my parents are veterinarians! I’m able to give medications & care for many animals! I also recently worked as an apprentice at a dog training facility & can help with basic obedience. I am currently working in the Kansas City area with plenty of free time to visit or stay with your pets! I will be available most weekends & weekdays. I recently lost my 11-year-old french bulldog, Scout. She meant the world to me & showed me how to be the best owner/friend I can be. I will treat your animals with the same love & respect.
About: Hi! I know how scary it can be to trust someone with your pet, but I’m really glad you’re here. Let me try to reassure you! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid bringing home strays, helping with family pets, or trying to convince my parents that we needed just one more animal. I’ve cared for everything from farm animals to dogs and cats, and I’ve never met one I didn’t love! In college, I rescued two cats and a dog who are still with me today. My oldest cat is 10, my second cat is 5, and my dog is 8. When my boyfriend and I moved in together, we combined our little pet families and added two more big dogs to the mix, so we’re used to spreading the love. One of my dogs was born with a disability, so I understand that some pets need a little extra patience, attention, or special care. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, giving medications, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. My pets truly are my babies, and I know yours are too. Whether your pet wants to play fetch, go on a long walk, curl up on the couch, or just have someone keep them company, I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! My availability is ever changing, so I am flexible! I work from home two days a week, if not more, which allows me plenty of time to care for animals. Please message me to see what my schedule looks like that week. I chose my home specifically for my animals, so trust me when I say that it’s perfect for yours. My animals are crate trained and can be put away when necessary. We have a fenced in yard, no children, and allow animals on the furniture. After all, it’s their home too! :) Almost any request can be met as far as feeding, separating animals, bathing, etc.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, family, and friends since I was about six years old. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing, and keeping pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including older dogs that need a slower pace. I also have experience with cats and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I am unable to come for pets in my own home but am more than comfortable coming to yours. I am very mindful of peoples spaces and always try to keep the home in the same condition I left it. Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know as much as I can about them! Tell me their favorite toys and games, things they dislike (walks on leashes, paws being touched, etc.), silly quirks they may have, medication details and administration, fears or triggers they have and what to do if these arise, and any unconventional behaviors or references you guys may have. I also want to hear what you love about your pet. What are some ways I can care for them while making sure they are still getting the love and comfort they get from you? I am a full-time online grad student. I am working part time in the area and my schedule is very consistent and not flexible. I work Tuesday-Saturday 11:30am-4:30pm. Please make sure this works with your pets schedule before reaching out. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in my client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always supervise pets during walks and playtime. I keep environments clean, calm, and low-stress, and I’m careful to notice any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Alyssa is absolutely lovely! She was so accommodating and flexible with the meet and greet and spent a lot of time getting to know our dogs, particularly our newest little rescue that's working through some fear issues, prior to coming for a home visit. It's obvious that she places a lot of importance on making sure the dogs felt comfortable with her prior to taking care of them and she went out of her way to help Lyla continue making progress in feeling safe. She handled my big, exuberant boys with ease and genuine affection while also being gentle and quiet with Lyla. During our meet and greet, she was more than happy to learn about the quirks of each dog and when asked, provided genuine and thoughtful suggestions about fearful rescues, including specific things she would do during her home visit. She was prompt on her timing and provided updates and pictures of her time with the dogs, accommodating a last-minute request for a medication administration. She's a joy to work with, communicates very well and promptly and all of my dogs love her. I'm so lucky to have found her and look forward to having her back.”

Great experience with Kaylee! She came and met our boys took time out of her day to come let them out while we went on a day trip! They were well taken care of, sent plenty of updates and great communication! So nice to have someone come stop in for a visit so we didn’t have to rush home.

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 Gardner 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.
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 Gardner 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Gardner with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
