“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation! She was so caring, had excellent communication, and updated us with photos and details each time she dropped by for a visit. We highly recommend Susan, and will be using her again in the future.”
“Bonnie is amazing! We had utilized her services for our honeymoon last month, and we really appreciated her then. However, this week we were called away unexpectedly due to a family emergency, and she was an absolute lifesaver! She accepted our request same day and took care of our cats within a couple hours. We can’t recommend Bonnie enough. I know it couldn’t always be the case that someone is available, we really appreciate her flexibility and willingness to help!”
About: Hello! I provide pet sitting, walking, and drop in’s! I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been an animal lover since day one. I am currently going to school to be a Veterinarian so you can be confident that your pet will be well cared for and happy when you see them! While I house sit you can be assured that your house will look better than when you left it and your pet well taken care of. I provide at least two walks daily to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy! I work full time Monday-Friday 7am-2pm. When house sitting I will only be gone those hours and the rest of the day/night I will be looking after the pet. This schedule has worked well thus far, and hope it continues😁 I give unlimited attention through out the day. I love getting outside and going on long walks, regardless of the weather. I have my own dogs and I know how much responsibility you need to have to care for any animal.
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two pups during the daily visits. Lindsey even offers to stay longer than requested to keep the pups company!”
About: Hey! My name is Holland and I have been looking after pets, specifically dogs since I was 9 years old. I am highly experienced with small and big dogs as well as cats. I’m looking for something consistent, and long term. I can spend the night with your pet, feed your pet or just walk your pet! I have a part time job, I’m going to college starting in the fall but I will remain in this area and I’ll still be available to walk your pets. I’m looking for long term services! Depending on what you want, I can offer services at my home or yours. I have a fenced, closed off backyard, plenty big enough for pups to run around in! If I were to stay at your home, I can follow instructions very clearly and do anything that you need. Just an FYI, I do have an almost one year old German shepherd. He is very friendly and always wants to make new friends.
About: I’m a very attentive and reliable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I’ve grown up with 3+ dogs and have experience caring for both big and small breeds, as well as young puppies and senior dogs. Because of that, I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and needs—from playful, active pets to older dogs who need a slower, gentler approach. I’m patient with younger pets who are still learning and can stick to routines that help them feel safe and secure. I also make sure owners feel at ease by communicating clearly and providing updates. I’m a college student with a very open and flexible schedule during the summer, which allows me to dedicate a lot of time to pet care. I’m available most days for walks, check-ins, and longer visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their usual routine, like feeding times, walks, and anything else they’re used to, so nothing feels stressful or unfamiliar. I keep a close eye on them, make sure they always have water, and give them lots of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean while making sure their pet feels relaxed in their normal environment. I also pay attention to their behavior and will keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Emily did a great job for us taking care of our cat, Rotor two different times now. He doesn’t need much but it’s the knowing that Emily will keep him fed and letting us not worry. Her communication is stellar and we look forward to scheduling her again.”
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
About: I offer more than 20 years of hands-on animal care experience and a calm, professional approach to every visit. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and other animals through pet sitting, personal ownership, and professional animal work. My background also includes horse training, barrel racing coaching, and riding instruction, which taught me how to read animal behavior, stay attentive, and handle a wide range of temperaments with patience and confidence. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and for owners to feel confident while they are away. I am dependable, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific care instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and household preferences. Whether a pet is energetic, shy, independent, or needs a gentler approach, I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. Pet care fits well into my routine because I am able to plan my day around scheduled drop-in visits and arrive reliably within the agreed time frame. I value consistency, punctuality, and clear communication, and I understand how important routine is for pets. I keep my schedule manageable so I can give each client’s pet the attention, care, and updates they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home, their routines, and their instructions. I follow feeding directions carefully, make sure pets have fresh water, handle potty breaks or litter box care as requested, and pay close attention to behavior and comfort. My goal is to provide calm, dependable care so pets feel secure and owners feel confident while they are away. I also communicate clearly and send updates so clients know how their pets are doing.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. My family has owned dogs since I was about 6 and cats since before I was born.

Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own.

I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with the pets in my care. While I will need to leave for a few hours during the day, I make taking care of your pets my priority. On most work days I am able to stop by during my lunch break and check on pets, let them outside, take them for a short walk, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. Outside of work hours, I will be available to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship to ensure your pet feels happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and cared for while maintaining their routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, basic bathing and grooming and any special needs. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I can also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away. I am also willing to do basic home care and cleaning for the client while I am staying in their home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
JuliAnna was fantastic! We left our 6 year old dog with her last minute. This job required her to be extremely flexible. Our trip out of town was last minute and we had never met JuliAnna prior this but we had her a chance and we lucked out! She handled our dog fantastically with almost no guidance from us. Extremely trustworthy and my dog had never been this happy. I can’t recommend JuliAnna enough!
Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation! She was so caring, had excellent communication, and updated us with photos and details each time she dropped by for a visit. We highly recommend Susan, and will be using her again in the future.
We’ve worked with Katlynne several times and she’s always done a great job! Our pets are pretty high maintenance and we always get nervous leaving them, but she’s very reliable and goes above and beyond our care instructions. She was even willing to check on and feed our chickens!
Second time booking with Lavery and she was great as always! She’s always fast with her communication and drop ins are perfect. Our dog is so much more comfortable and less stressed out when he’s able to stay home vs boarding so this is the perfect option for us.
Erin was a lifesaver when our pet care fell through for our recent vacation. She was amazing with our dog who is usually a little slow to warm to people, and gave us update as to how he and our cat were doing while we were away. Couldn’t recommend Erin enough!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
