“Lilli did an amazing job watching our two senior cats and giving them their medications. She communicated often and sent great updates with every visit. I’d highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for years, including up to three at a time! Every workday, I get to play doggy daycare for my sister’s Australian Cattle Doodle. We go on walks, play, and sometimes work on her training, which has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and making learning fun. I’m just as comfortable with cats! I have one of my own and have cared for everything from adult cats to a mama cat and her entire litter. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and would love the chance to spend time with yours. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so I’ll make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m also the type of pet parent who’s constantly taking pictures and videos of my own baby, so I know you’d probably love updates too! You can expect lots of photos and videos of your happy, spoiled pets so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the day. As long as I can plan around my scheduled meetings, I’m able to accommodate most weekday visits, walks, and drop-ins. I’m also available on weekends, so I can provide care whenever you need it. I enjoy getting out for walks, sticking to your pet’s routine, and making sure they get plenty of attention and love while you’re away. At this time, I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medications (if needed), or just plenty of cuddles and companionship. I know every pet is different, so I always do my best to match their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also love sending photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing!
“Krystina was amazing! Our Jack Russell (Scout) and our cat (Jack) immediately felt so comfortable with her. She was so thoughtful in making sure Scout did not get overheated in the very hot weather during his walks and she always made sure to have plenty of cuddle time with both of them. We will definitely book her in the future and we highly recommend her!”

“Emily is very timely and spends time with our dogs and they really seem ti like her. We are feeling very lucky to have finally found someone we can trust in our home and with our dogs when we aren’t there !”

About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and real-life experience I bring as a pet parent to four amazing pets of my own: my cats Arcoiris and Benni, and my dogs Quico and Tina. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with additional needs. When my cat Arcoiris was a kitten, he required both topical and oral medications for the first five months of his life, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also have experience with puppies through raising Quico and Tina, so I know the time, structure, and attention younger pets need as they learn and grow. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, fresh litter boxes, medication support, or extra cuddles, I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making your pets feel like family. I am available Monday - Thursday after 4pm and Friday - Sunday all day for dog walking, drop in visits and housesitting. This is my part-time job. I have a partner who takes care of our pets while I’m taking care of yours. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all pets that stay with us. We live in a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and feel at ease. Our large, fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor time, whether it’s for play, potty breaks, or just soaking up the sun. We have two friendly dogs and two laid-back cats who are used to being around other animals. We always introduce pets slowly and carefully to ensure everyone gets along and feels safe. We maintain a calm, structured routine with regular feedings, potty breaks, play sessions, and quiet time. We also make sure to follow any specific care instructions you provide, so your pet's routine stays consistent.
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. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me.

About: I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am currently studying pre-veterinary science and I take pride in making sure you and your special friend(s) feel safe and happy🥰 I've got two dogs of my own, both are highly socialized, updated on shots yearly, and well trained🐶 Please feel free to message me anytime! I am willing to negotiate prices oer situation and usually respond within an hour or two😁 I currently work evenings between 6pm-11pm, but I am extremely flexible and I am more than happy to talk with you about work times if your pup(s) have strict schedules😋 I'd like to think I have a pretty solid intuition when it comes to a dog's needs, but either way, I am very good at following directions! I always leave my personal opinions at the door and make sure to follow *your* pets schedule and ask questions if I'm ever unsure!
About: I’ve worked in the veterinary fields for a couple of years as a veterinary technician, I have gotten a lot of experience about animal behavior and will advocate for them. I am currently going back to continue my education, my school is based online which will give me the opportunity to be more open with my schedules. Throughout the years I’ve worked with dogs, aggressive dogs and cats I have focused on learning the body language and behaviors of our pet. Which I implemented my learning to any animal I see by not pushing their boundaries or making them uncomfortable, making sure pets feel safe around me. With my veterinary education I have been able to help clients who need to provide insulin injections to their pets as well as nail trims and anal gland issues.

“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”

“This is the third time I have used Rebecca. And once again greatly pleased with her care of my cat. I was away for an extended period of time and could relax knowing Cosmo was well cared for. Rebecca showed up the same time each day (drop in visits were twice a day) which provided a good routine causing less stress for Cosmo. Absolutely will use Rebecca again!”

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.

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.

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.
