“Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!”

“Ana is easily the best cat sitter I've ever hired (and I say that, never having had a bad experience with a pet sitter). She watched our 2 nervous cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She even did an extra check-in when one of our cats wasn't eating and cleaned up their vomit. Thank you very much, Ana, and we will definitely hire you again.”

“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”

About: I’ve had quite a lot of pups in my life! I have rescued 5 dogs from the street and got 4 rehomed! The first who I rescued, Paisley, was thrown out of a truck and I raised her in a dorm room! She needed lots of medicine so I can perform any medical treatment needed! And I also get the ups and downs of raising a puppy! I am a professional athlete and love that Rover lets me fit jobs into my schedule! I have always loved animals so this was something that never felt like work! Because of all my animals here, I tend to go to your place! I can make frequent stops or stay the night! Small animals I do take here!

About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.
“Pamela did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats. She is dependable. She sent me pictures of my kitties and gave me a thorough update on my kitties every time she came to visit. I was lucky she was available to take care of my kitties.”

“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Jaeda Y. Was very responsible and kind with my two 100+ lbs fur babies! She took excellent pictures daily which I totally enjoyed receiving! Thanks a bunch Jaeda. I’ll be looking to book her again on my next trip.”

“My cats love Lingli! Whether she's pet sitting or doing drop-in feedings, booking her always makes me feel better abput being away from my fur babies. She's very communicative, patient, and sends tons of photos”

About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.
About: I have a 2yo Great Dane named Bella. If you have a big dog then you probably know what it’s like to watch them have to back up while you make fork lift noises as they turn around. I’m going back to school for my graduate degree. Right now my schedule is open for lots of pet visits. If you are looking for drop ins or walks check out my profile. My pets are part of my family. They get check ups, medicine, and the enrichment that they need. This includes making sure they are getting all of their needs met. For my 2 cats I have a climbing wall for them and a fenced in section of yard for my dog.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I’m currently working part time and looking for a way to get out of the house more often and help people with their pets needs. As a dog and cat owner I know how important exercise is and that some people just don’t have the time to take their dogs on proper walks while they are at work. I live on ten acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care for every dog I meet. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, including helping reinforce basic training, maintaining consistent routines, and adapting care to different energy levels and mobility needs. Whether it's encouraging good leash manners, practicing basic commands with young dogs, or providing patient, gentle care for older pets, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience. I believe in clear communication, reliability, and treating every dog as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is getting attentive, dependable care from someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I currently offer dog care services during evenings and weekends, making me a great option for busy professionals, families, or anyone who needs dependable care outside of regular business hours. I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays (if applicable), and weekend pet sitting. I strive to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care, attention, and exercise they need. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to help your pet feel happy and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If your pet stays in my home, they'll receive a welcoming, supervised environment with lots of love, enrichment, and individualized care to help them feel right at home.
About: My family and I have always had cats and dogs growing up. Our pets are family! As a mom to 2 young kids, I am unable to put the time and care into a doggie of my own … so I need YOURS to love up on! I am a preschool teacher and off for the summer so I am available and flexible! Other than dropping/picking up my kids from camp, I’m free! I have a fantastic path right behind my house that I always walked / would walk my dogs, if your baby stays with me. I am also happy to visit your pup(s) at their home and have them show me around their neighborhood! Anything to make your doggo happy, is what I want :)

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Glenelg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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.
To find sitters in Glenelg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
