“We are very happy with Tania and Zachary. The dogs warmed right up to them. We got report cards daily on the dogs and they came each day in the time frame we asked. I will book with again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. I currently have two floof balls of my own who LOVE other animals. I live in the country and have a big fenced back yard, so if your pups stay here, they’ll have lots of walks and playtime. I can’t wait to give love to your furry best buddy! I work full time from home, and use every break I have to take my dogs on a walk or play with them outside. I’m a super active individual so walking dogs just makes outdoor cardio that much more fun. I have a fenced in yard, am really aware of my dog’s moods because I’m here all the time, and have lots of space for the dogs to spread out if they need some alone time.
“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I've had sooo many pets since a kid,I even had a mini shelter in Ecuador where I adopted stray cats and dogs,I have a lot of patience, and I do truly enjoy to be around animals Currently I work from home so I've got a lot of time to take care of your pet. And I can even take them on weekends if needed so! "I have a fenced yard and two dogs that will keep your fur baby company. 🐶 If your doggie is not a high level energy dog, he is welcome to sleep and cuddle in my couch! I've got tons of toys and so maanyyy types of treats in all flavors. My two dogs are very well behaved free of flees and they all got their vaccines, you've got nothing to worry about. 💖
“Lili took care of our 3 cats while we went away for our honeymoon. She came 2 times a day to care for them. We couldnt have picked a better sitter! She went above and beyond and we didnt have to worry about our kitties while we were away. She was so responsive and went out of her way to get photos of all 3 cats. Even when they hid under the bed! Thank you Lili for everything!”
“Gabrielle did an awesome job following instructions given to take care of my baby Jax and she made sure to send a picture of their time spent together. I am happy and satisfied with the service I received. 🤗”
About: I have had two Yorkies and one West Highland Terrier. I’ve also had experience with Rottweilers, pit bulls, Alaskan huskies, American Bulldogs, mixed breed Chihuahuas. My house is in a well noted and safe neighborhood, with a secured fence and a wonderful backyard. I love spending time with dogs and giving them the love and care they deserve. If you have any specific rules or guidelines for your pooch please let me know, I will do my best to make my home as cozy as their own. I love any dog big or small no matter the breed, color, or disability. I feel I would be great on Rover because dogs are just like children, and should be treated with care and love as if they were my own!! Your dog will be in safe and open arms <3 I work full time from home, but i am always here so your pups are never left unattended , i believe pets are like children, and should still be treated great care and love❤️ I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and outside fun. I do not leave them outside in the back yard, when they potty i stand outs tide with them until they are ready to come inside. My back yard is huge but i prefer the pups to be with me for safety and awareness reasons. I work from home 8-5 pm , so your pups are always getting around the clock care.

Examples of this are playing outside , bonding with toys and giving them treats *unless directed otherwise * , and even watching alittle tv ! *bluey seems to work because Dogs can actually see the colors that bluey presents , it’s very entertaining to them *
About: I stand out because I combine professionalism with genuine love for pets. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require gentle care and attention to detail. My background gives me the skills to handle medication, follow routines, and keep pets safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I have a busy but consistent schedule with ROTC training in the early mornings and college classes during the day, which leaves me plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. In your home, I can make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection so they feel right at home. For puppies, I focus on structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I’m extra patient and mindful of their comfort, medications, and mobility needs. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.
About: I've had pets my entire life. 4 decades now. I've pet sat for family and friends for most of my life. I have some experience with animals of all ages. I can feed, walk, and clean up. Happy to follow instructions. And even happier to show care and compassion to your "babies." I do work but am able to do at least 2 visits/overnight per day. Off days I can do more visits if needed. I'm happy to discuss availability with you! I will keep your home as it was when I arrived. I'll follow any instructions on crating, yard play, etc and only give approved food and treats.
About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house
About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I helped raise numerous litters of puppies, which taught me everything from feeding schedules and socialization to house training and keeping a close eye on the little ones. Today I regularly watch my friends’ pets and care for my grandparents’ two dogs — feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are my favorite people, and I treat every one like my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home the majority of the day and your pup will rarely be left alone. My schedule is flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your dog is used to. The house is quiet and calm, which works well for dogs who prefer a low-key environment. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog is treated like family. We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.

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.

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 .
