About: I've been walking and checking in on friends' and family's dogs for years. I never got to have my own growing up, so dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I'm reliable, easy to communicate with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with every dog I meet. I'm new to Rover but I'm serious about building something here and I will always show up for your pup! I work full time during the week, but I have availability in the evenings and on weekends and enjoy staying active during my free time. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I do my best to be flexible, communicative, and reliable. My goal is to make pet care as easy and stress free as possible while making sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer walks and drop in visits so your pet can stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I take being trusted in someone else’s home very seriously and always aim to be respectful, organized, and attentive while caring for your pet. I know every animal has different needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and currently have 2 wonderful dogs that are very dog friendly. We have 2 acres for the dogs to roam I am a full time realtor and I write my own schedule. I can be flexible to your needs. I am open to various routines for multiple animals. I keep a very watchful eye on our animals as they share a space with our 4 daughters who also love animals. Our property is mostly fenced in and we are in a rural area.
“Bailey was amazing. I needed a last minute drop in for my dog. She agreed to care for my dog. She stopped in twice and sent pictures. I really appreciate her and will use her again.”

I’ve also worked at a couple of animal facilities such as Williamsburg Pet Hotel & Suites in Ballwin, MO and The Watering Bowl in Mehlville, MO. I can also grind nails, clean teeth, ears also bathe. I’d be the perfect candidate for your furry friend to make them feel comfortable and happy. I currently am looking into owning my own business for an animal facility. I have open availability so if you’re looking for a dog walker or sitter I’m your person. I currently stay at in Garfield, Arkansas, so I would have to come to your house or do drop in visits when dog sitting I would do whatever it takes to make you and your animals happy.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for family members and neighbors throughout my life. This includes over night sitting and stopping by to walk, feed, or any other needs the owner has. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am available to watch, let out, and walk your pets from 9:00 AM- 12:30 PM, and again from 6:00 PM through the evening. I am also available for over night sitting if needed! I do not work weekends, so I am available all day Saturday and Sunday! I have a fenced in yard and clean home, along with my cat. I can crate dogs if needed. Your pets will be completely safe with me!
“Abby was communicative and spent a lot of time with my pets even during a busy schedule. There were a few curveballs (key I gave her didn’t work) but she reached out right away to figure out a solution”

About: What sets me apart is my just under 4 years of hands-on experience as an Animal Control Officer combined with my NACA (National Animal Care & Control Association) Level 1 & 2 Certifications. I offer a level of professional expertise, safety, and behavioral knowledge that standard sitters simply cannot replicate. NACA 1 & 2 Certified Expertise: My formal certifications mean I am highly trained in animal identification, advanced handling, and field safety. I know exactly how to handle pets of all types, sizes, and difficulty levels safely. High-Difficulty & Reactive Pets: My background as an officer makes me the go-to specialist for reactive, anxious, or fearful animals. I read subtle body language, prevent triggers, and safely de-escalate stressful situations. Senior Care & Medical Tracking: I bring a calm, professional approach to senior pets. I handle precise medication schedules, mobility support, and emergency health assessments with absolute precision. Puppy Safety & Structure: I implement strict safety protocols for puppies, ensuring they are constantly supervised, kept away from hazards, and reinforced with positive routines. When you book me, you are not just hiring a pet lover—you are investing in a certified professional who guarantees premium care and total peace of mind." Its my business I Always have time to help with you and your pets. Sunrise Animal Services will always go above and beyond for you and yours. I care for all pets the same with tender love and care. Patients is my strong suit. Safety will always be on the fore front of my care plan

About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the natural bond I form with animals. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’ve always had a calming energy that pets are drawn to. I treat every animal like a unique soul, not just a pet. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and comfort. Whether they’re shy, playful, or full of zoomies, I adjust to their vibe. I create a peaceful, loving environment where they feel safe, understood, and cared for like family. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care! I currently pet sit full-time and have an established base of recurring clients, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. As I continue to grow my business, I’m opening my schedule to welcome new Rover clients. My availability may vary depending on my existing bookings, but I do my best to be flexible and keep my calendar up to date. If you’re interested in booking with me, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine above all else. I take the time to learn their needs, behaviors, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for, even while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care as I would my own, while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time included. I’m dependable, intuitive, and naturally attentive to animals, and I take pride in providing the kind of care that gives you total peace of mind.

About: I’m an animal lover! I have a dog and 3 cats. My dog came from a shelter with a lot of anxiety, so I’m familiar with building trust and relationships with animals. I frequently drop in to check on my neighbor’s dog and have been trusted to take care of family and friends’ pets many times. I also have a bit of experience with birds and fish. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty much wide open! I am available for drop in’s any day of the week and can be very flexible with timing. I understand the level of trust required to invite someone into your home and to take care of your pets. I will treat both with the upmost care and respect.
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is my patient, loving approach to every dog I meet. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds—and I understand how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m confident in basic training and redirecting unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement. With enough treats and consistency, I truly believe there’s nothing a dog can’t learn! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—me and my roommate share two cats, Lennox and Sylvia, and they definitely keep us on our toes! Lennox is always digging through the trash like he’s starving (even though they get two servings of wet food a day plus dry food), so I’m often cleaning up his little adventures. They’re totally spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing with them using lasers and feather toys—they’re a blast and bring a lot of joy and routine to my day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and keep an eye on their behavior in case anything seems off. Whether it’s giving meds, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for some cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much animals thrive on routine and love, so I make sure they get both!
About: I own dogs, cats, and horses of my own. I've helped over 200 fosters or rescues in our home, many of which had medical issues. I've dealt with most problems that could come up with sitting! I also use Rover for my own pets, so I try to do everything that I would want a sitter to do for me! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I am able to fill all of that free time with pet sitting opportunities! Let me know how I can help! I love all animals and try to take care of them as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and sending them off so you can see your animals while you are away!
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
