About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and temperaments, including experience with rescue animals. I understand that rescued pets may need extra patience, time and understanding as they adjust to new people and environments. From playful puppies and energetic pets to senior companions and shy or anxious animals, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m experienced in working with a variety of personalities and understand the importance of respecting each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety and well-being are always my top priorities! Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision and companionship for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for daytime visits, drop-ins, walks and pet sitting, with flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine and individual needs. Working remotely allows me to be more present and attentive, helping your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

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 have 15 years of experience watching all breeds of dogs. I'm reliable, punctual, and can pay close attention to any details you may have. I have many clients and references. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will have plenty of time to care for your babies. I treat your pets just like my own. I look forward to meeting you!

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.
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life, and I’m definitely the person who will ignore the humans in the room and go straight for the dog. I’m responsible, attentive and very comfortable stepping into a pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, sticking to their feeding schedule or just providing some excellent couch companionship. Every pet has their own personality, quirks and very specific opinions about how things should be done, and I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance when their people are away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated so you know everything is going well and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while you’re gone. Fair warning: I’ll probably give them a ridiculous nickname by day two. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can work around your pet’s routine instead of expecting them to work around mine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime and bedtime can all stay as close to normal as possible. I’m also happy to spend plenty of time at the house, so your pet won’t just get a quick hello, a bowl of food and a disappearing act. If they’re used to having someone around, they’ll have me around. When I’m staying in your home, my goal is pretty simple: keep your pet happy, safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to the little things and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. And you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. I’m happy to send pictures and updates along the way. I know you’re trusting me with your pet and your home, and I take both seriously. Even if your dog and I are having very unserious conversations while you’re gone.
“Good experience. The whole family did a good job looking after our dog while we were gone. Received regular photos and updates on our dog. Room was clean when we came back home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 681 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gateway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gateway. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
