“Jeanie is my go-to for pet care and couldn’t be happier! She’s professional, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always know my pup is in great hands with her, and I love the wonderful photos she sends—they make my day every time. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had such a great experience! She was very thorough from the beginning, took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, and made sure she had all the information she needed to take good care of my cats. She was reliable with their food, water, and litter, and I really appreciated how attentive she was to each of their individual personalities. One of my cats is very shy and doesn’t like people, but she was thoughtful about making sure he was still eating and doing okay. It gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.
About: I’m always looking for an excuse to get my steps in, and spending time with pets is the perfect way to do it! Growing up, our home never felt complete without a couple of cats and dogs running around. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life, so making sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for comes naturally to me. I’m very flexible with my schedule since I’m currently freelancing and enrolled in online school. I’m available Monday- Friday and some weekends; holidays may vary. My dogs always loved spending time in our fenced backyard, so I know how important it is for pups to get plenty of exercise and playtime. Whether it's neighborhood walks, a trip to the dog park, or simply letting them run around in a secure backyard, I'm happy to keep them active and entertained. If your dog needs a little extra care, like a bath or light grooming, I'm happy to help—just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. For everyone's safety, I only accept dogs that are potty trained and non-aggressive. If your dog has any behavioral quirks or special needs, please let me know before booking so I can make sure we're a great fit!
“Renee took excellent care of my geckos, tarantulas, and house plants while I was away. It’s not easy finding a reptile/spider-sitter, but Renee had no problem feeding live bugs and refilling water bowls. She also shared lots of photos during her visits so I knew everyone was doing well. I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet needs!”
About: I’m an animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for pets and houses for friends and family. I understand that your pets are more than just animals—they’re part of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other unique pets, including providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also happy to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When house sitting, I’m respectful of your space and can help keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and make sure everything is cared for! I currently work part-time as a housekeeper, scheduling my services around my client's individual needs on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure that every need is met especially the needs of your beloved pet! I take pride in providing dependable, and thorough care and I prioritize the highest quality of service possible! I provide high quality service that emphasizes the pet’s safety, comfort, emotional well-being, routine, and overall care while the owner is away. What my high-quality pet care service involves • Understanding each pet individually: Every animal has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs. I take time to learn the pet’s habits, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and behaviors rather than providing one-size-fits-all care. • Maintaining their normal routine: Pets generally feel more secure when their familiar routine is maintained. This includes feeding them at their usual times, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes or potty areas, providing walks or playtime, and maintaining their normal sleeping and daily schedule. • Providing companionship and attention: my quality care includes genuine interaction. Depending on the pet, that may mean playing, brushing, walking, giving affection, talking to them, or simply sitting with them. For pets that experience separation anxiety, calm companionship can be especially important. • Keeping the pet safe: As your pet’s sitter I prioritize creating a secure environment and preventing situations that could put the animal at risk. This includes checking doors and gates, being mindful of hazards, monitoring interactions with other animals, and following the owner's specific safety instructions. • Observing behavior and health: As your pet sitter I pay attention and inform you about any changes in appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, energy level, mood, mobility, or behavior. Recognizing that something is different can be extremely important to your pets health and well-being. • I ensure all care instructions are completed with qualityand care regarding food, treats, medications, exercise, allergies, behavioral concerns, or special routines. • Keeping your pet's environment clean is top priority! This includes cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste in the yard, washing food and water bowls, cleaning accidents, and keeping the areas where the pet spends time comfortable and sanitary. • Providing enrichment Pets need mental stimulation as well as basic physical care. Toys, interactive play, walks, scent exploration, routine exercises, and age-appropriate activities can help prevent boredom and reduce stress. • Respecting the owner's home I ensure to treat my client's home with respect and professionalism. This means being responsible with keys and access, keeping the home secure, cleaning up after the pet, and leaving the home in good condition. • I prioritize communicating consistently providing you with reassurance that your pets are safe and doing well. A high-quality and meaningful updates about your pets day and, photos or video updates. Communication is open and honest—if something unexpected happens. My high quality services ensure and prioritize that your pet is treated with patience, compassion, responsibility, and genuine care—not simply being checked on!
About: Hi! I’m Jordyn, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up in veterinary clinics, later became a veterinary technician and groomer, and now I’m living my dream as the founder and owner of JoJo’s Pack House LLC. My goal has always been to create a place where dogs are treated like family while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities - including seniors, puppies, special needs, and dogs who require medications or extra attention. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own, with kindness, patience, love, and respect. So if you would like your animal(s) to get the time, love, and care that they always deserve, please feel free to contact me anytime. To give every dog the attention they deserve and to keep our daily routine running smoothly, drop-off and pick-up appointments are scheduled during designated appointment windows. DAYCARE HOURS: 8AM-5:00PM Full day or Half days available. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, grooming, and professional dog care, my goal is to provide a fun, low stress, home style environment where every dog feels like part of the family. Your pet’s safety and well being are always my highest priorities. I have two friendly pups (dachshund and terrier mix) that love to make new friends! We have a fully fenced backyard and the pups are never left outside unattended. I intentionally keep my boarding small and personal so every guest receives plenty of one on one attention, love, and care. I send daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a safe and fun vacation! You’ll never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I love keeping owners updated throughout their stay. Every guest enjoys supervised outdoor time throughout the day, with potty breaks at least every three hours or more often if needed.
“We are so pleased with Brooke and how she took care of our pups while we were out! We will be using her again in the future. She was wonderful, she kept us updated and sent lots of pics of them having fun! We were able to enjoy ourselves and know they were in good hands! Thank you!!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have been actively involved in the rescue community for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I hold a degree in Animal Science and have gained hands-on experience working at a local animal shelter as well as as a pet care technician in a pet store. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. I am able to care for cats and am very knowledgeable about their unique needs and personalities. I am also able to board dogs, provided they are friendly with cats and children. Since I work from home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of supervision, attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a calm and loving environment, I am committed to providing the same level of care and compassion that I would give my own animals. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and at ease while you’re apart. I work from home full time so I will be on YOUR pets schedule. I do have small children but they have been taught how to be around animals appropriately. They love to play with the animals but will never be unattended with them. I will provide whatever needs YOUR pet needs. They are all different and have different needs and schedules. I allow free roaming. Pets on furniture. Pets sleeping in the bed. Whatever your baby is most comfortable with is what they will get here.
About: I have spent my entire life with animals as part of my family! My experience includes dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from the most relaxed lab to the highest energy pair of cattle dogs. I’ve now also experienced the joys of cats, with my own little kitten! I am ready to be as active or relaxed with your pet as you need. I work part time and have my 3-year-old daughter with me after school hours. I am available for drop ins regularly, and house-sitting/boarding during periods with more availability. In a client’s home, I respect the limits of where you choose to allow your pet and am happy to take dogs on walks or facilitate outdoor time as needed. I have a fenced yard in my home and keep doors to most rooms closed. My home is toddler-proof, so also largely pet proof!
About: I have grown up around dogs and then have raised them on my own as well. I’ve dealt with my dogs getting old and needing extra care, and have also helped my dog birth and raise 10 puppies. I know how to care for dogs, no doubt, but I know how to love on them even more so! ❤️ I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so I am super flexible with my schedule to fit around whatever you and your pet need. In a clients home, I try to keep the pet in as close to the same routine as when you (the owner) are home. Pets get stressed out when their people aren’t there, so I try to comfort them and keep things as familiar as much as I possibly can.
“Kristina was very punctual and tool great care of everything we asked. Our dog is 16 years old and extremely shy, but Kristina was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with her. We felt completely at ease while we were away from home, knowing our dog was in such good hands. i would absolutely ask Kristina to look after her again in the future and wold happily recommend her to others.”

I currently work 1-2 days at a pickleball club and am an online MBA student. I am available to take care of pups on weekdays and weekends at all times of the day! I will follow what the dog is used to for their health, safety, and trust. I can walk dogs on a leash or let them outside without one. Inside the house, I will do as the owner says for spaces the dog is able to be or in a crate. If the dog is seeming uncomfortable or unsafe at any point, I will contact the owner.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
