About: i! My name is Angela, and I have had dogs my entire life. Growing up around dogs has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and the love and attention they deserve. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I recently graduated from college, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. This allows me to provide reliable attention, supervision, and companionship to ensure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your dog with the same love, kindness, and care that I would give my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to providing a positive experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since I recently graduated from college, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship during both weekdays and weekends. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet's needs and make sure they receive the attention, care, and love they deserve while you are away. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I have my own dog, who is a beloved member of my family, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Caring for my own dog has given me experience with daily feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention.
About: I'm currently working from home part time and working in a restaurant part time, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them out as often as needed when at home. I sometimes will need to be gone for around 6-7 hours a few days out of the week for my other job so I ask that your pup is okay on their own occasionally. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like a member of the family, with lots of love, care, and playtime. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that’s cozy and safe for dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to set up their crate in the living room to ensure they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give to my own pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I am working from home during the day so I have plenty of time to take your pup out whenever needed! Let me know their schedule. We will go out on walks, we can go to the park if you’re okay with it, I will feed them according to their normal schedule, and of course plenty of cuddles.
“Jehnean is a pro through and through! She was fantastic with our senior pets that require some special attention. Not only that but she left our place spotless which is hugely appreciated after a long trip away from home. Highly recommend Jehnean for your needs!”
“Brigitte is a dog whisperer! She became fast friends with our anxious pup and took great care of him (and our house) while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for more…she’s the best!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through sitting and boarding for friends and family, providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment while their owners are away. I make sure every dog is well taken care of by keeping them fed, active, and happy with daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and fostered dogs in need, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and care needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently work on building my at-home business, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to dog walking, sitting, and boarding. I’m able to provide dogs with consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of care and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm space to relax, regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and feeding schedules that match their routine. I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and instructions to keep their pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight care, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and proper care.
“Kayla was an exceptional home and pet sitter - I can't recommend her highly enough! We recently went on a week-long vacation, leaving our one-year-old cat, Tempuki, at home. We were worried about Tempuki spending so much time alone, but Kayla turned out to be our saving grace! From the moment we met Kayla, her warm and welcoming personality assured us that both our home and pet would be in great hands. Her presence allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing that Tempuki was well cared for and our home was secure. Kayla went above and beyond in her duties. She kept our home in pristine condition, just as we'd left it. What we appreciated most was her attentiveness to Tempuki. She regularly sent us pictures of our furry friend, which was a delightful way to stay connected while we were away. It's clear that Kayla has a genuine love for animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Her reliability and care gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet and house sitter, look no further than Kayla. She'll treat your home and pets as if they were her own!”
About: I say what sets me apart from other sitters is the love and care I offer. I treat them as if they were my own pet. I’m currently a full-time student from 8 AM to 1 PM Monday through Friday so I’m available anytime after 1 and available anytime on the weekends so I have enough time to come play with your babies and make sure that they are well taken cared of. I have a fenced yard and a loving golden retriever who will keep your pet company 🥰 I have a safe neighborhood and love to take my dog and dogs I’m sitting for a walk as well.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have 6 horses, 5 ducks, 5 cats, a dog, bunnies, and a hamster. All of these animals are under my responsibility, and I help provide their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, exercise, grooming, and monitoring their health. Growing up around so many different types of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am a true animal lover and treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time equestrian show Jumper and we usually go out of town about once an every other month from Wednesday to Sunday. I will know if I'm leaving out of town months in advance. It will be no surprise. I also ride horses almost every day, so I'm usually at the barn in the a.m. but can always switch times and be flexible. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always respectful of both their animals and their property. I grew up understanding the importance of treating other people’s belongings with care and respect. I will follow all instructions provided, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure pets maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and home are being treated as if they were my own
“D’Anthony did a great job with our senior dog. We recently had him do an overnight while we were out on a weekend trip. Our dog can be really shy and make it hard to take him out for a walk. D’Anthony was able to win him over and take him out. He kept in touch and updated us so we knew what was going on. We will be using him again.”
“Kamryn is a lovely, responsible, young woman. She took great care of my pup, Gus. We provided unusual circumstances where she had to watch Gus at a hotel instead of a home. We were visiting from out of town. Kamryn was very communicative, on time and our dog loved her. I highly recommend her!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gorman walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gorman maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Gorman 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
