About: Ever since I was born I’ve had all different kinds of pets! I’ve had dogs my whole life but I’ve also had rodents, fish, snakes, and cats. Around the age of 8 my older sister and I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends and I’ve continued doing it since! I don’t have the most experience with puppies but I’ve cared for dogs from ages 2 and up, including those sweet senior pups! I am working full time at the moment, however, pet sitting & walking is what I prefer to do during the time that I’m off! I am completely free on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then on Sundays and Mondays I am free up until 2pm and after 10pm. Wednesdays and Fridays I would be able to help out in the afternoons around 3pm. Saturday’s I work 10am-7pm so I would need to work around those times! Currently, I have one 11 year old shepherd mix named Bailey and one sassy cat named Dolly that I’ve had for 8 years. They are my best friends! They get fed twice a day and Bailey goes on walks daily. I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard that Bailey can run around in, so I make sure she gets plenty of outdoor and play time because I know how important that is for pups! My cat, Dolly, on the other hand is a very independent gal but I still make sure she gets plenty of playtime too! She is also a diva about her litter box so I make sure that it is clean at all times for her. Most importantly they both get all the love and cuddles that every pet should receive. I assure you that your pet will receive the same exact care and love that I give to my pets.

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.

About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.

About: Hi! I’m Halle, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for pets. I have 5 years of experience caring for pets, and there’s honestly nothing I love more than meeting new pets and getting to know their personality! I had a sweet Puggle who lived to be 18 years old. She taught me just how special the bond between a person and their pet can be, and now I’d love the opportunity to give that same love, attention, and care to your pets! I’m easygoing, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Can’t wait! 🐶💕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pets! I have availability in the early mornings before work, during my one-hour lunch break (which can be scheduled at different times throughout the day), and in the evenings after work. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find a time that works best for both of us. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect I would want for my own home. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big deal, so I’m always respectful, responsible, and mindful. I’ll do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease in their own environment. I’m also very clean and tidy—I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their spaces neat, and leave your home just as I found it

About: I loved pets for as long as I can remember. Cats come to approach me when I visit my friends. My pet Charlie, a seven-year-old poodle mix relies on me to look after him whenever my parents are out of town. Our pets are known as some of the most loved and treasured parts of our families. Feeding, potty breaks, walks, administering medicine, and by request: batheing are normal parts of care that I can offer. I want to ensure I complete everything to a T in accordance to your pets needs. With my current living situation, I can't have pets of my own and this gives me the compromise to be able to care for your pets as if they were my own. Rest assured I will greatly appreciate pet-sitting be it they are high or low-maintenance! Located in Prairie Village My schedule is generally flexible. A good 3 days minimum notice will help me ensure I can dedicate my time to you and our fluffy friends. Your rules will be my rules. All I ask is for a brief layout of House Rules, I will ask for your preferred cleaning supplies to clean up any accidents, as well as where things are so that I can tend to your pet. All other questions and concerns: you will have my direct contact available at all times.

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

About: Hello! I’m Sarah! I’m an animal lover and have experience with pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! I think the most important part of caring for any pet is getting to know them! I would love to meet for your furry friend! Pet care is such a huge part of my life. Between my zoo of animals and the ones I get to meet through rover it is a full time job. I have never had a job I loved more! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very much! All of them are spoiled rotten. My cats are indoor and my pitbull-dachshund mix comes and goes inside/outside as he pleases! Every pet is different and every household operates differently, so I am willing and ready to care for your pet however you may prefer!

About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.

I can't recommend Montana enough! She took wonderful care of our pup, Lola. Lola tends to be fearful around new people and usually barks a lot at first, but Montana was incredibly patient and gave her the time and space she needed to feel comfortable. They ended up getting along great and built a really sweet bond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lola was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking 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 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
