About: I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing. I can make any day work from 9am-7pm with some advanced notice. I am currently working part time and looking to add in some dog walks and check-ins. I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and smaller breeds. I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs and those who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and happy. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for turtles and am happy to look after other small pets, including fish, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs during drop-in visits. I understand that each pet has unique routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions to ensure they receive the same loving care they’re used to at home. As a former elementary school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with kindness and respect, communicate regularly, and send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy building consistent routines with pets and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and even last-minute requests. My goal is to provide dependable care so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide the same loving care they’re used to receiving. During each visit or walk, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection based on their individual personality and needs. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with you right away if I notice anything concerning. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can feel connected and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return.
“Jen was absolutely wonderful to meet. She has a great background in veterinary medicine and she was very thorough with her questions that me as a pet owner feel comfortable that they were in good hands.

She is super responsive, knowledgeable, send me pictures and updates and treats my dogs like they are her own ❤️. I have left my babies in her care multiple times and the only person I will continue to use. I highly recommend Ashley for any of your fur kid needs 🙌.”
“I knew Desiree was the right person when both my wife and I chose her while reviewing the Rover app at different times. She did not disappoint. It did our hearts so good to know that our Benny was in caring hands. Not only was she always on time, and stayed the entire time, she took time to play with him, take him on short and long walks, and sent us many pictures of Benny doing a variety of things. I would wholeheartedly recommend Desiree without a second thought. A+ 👏👏”
“During our initial meet and great I could tell that Pam loves cats. My cat, who usually runs from everyone she doesn't know, loved Pam as well. This made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in Pam's care. Receiving pictures everyday really helped put me at ease as well. I would highly recommend Pam and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Mariana. I’m a college student, and I’ve always loved dogs. Although I didn’t grow up with one, that only made me appreciate them even more. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities through pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, going on walks, providing playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, understanding that they may require extra patience, slower-paced walks, medication reminders, or additional attention to their comfort and routines. In addition, I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds, such as French Bulldogs, and understand the extra precautions they may need, especially in hot weather and during exercise. My goal is to provide every pet with loving, reliable, and attentive care while giving owners peace of mind. I’m currently taking summer classes and they’re both online so I have a very flexible schedule for any pet care over the summer. I care for pets in my clients home by staying attentive and professional while also providing a level of care and affection. I also have respect for my clients home and their belongings.

It give me flexibility to schedule meet and greets an can accommodate drop offs and pickups throughout the day and evenings I work hard keeping your pet safe. I separate dogs at their feeding times to avoid any territorial issues I allow the dogs as much outdoor time as possible I keep hard bones and ropes all around to keep them occupied. Most daycare dogs leave having spent a lot of energy and usually rest well when they get home I am fully retired so I’m home all day most days. If I go out to run errands I’m gone 1-2 hours. Should I be gone longer, I will check your practice that you use there. I’m outside a lot and will let your dog play as much as possible, I do have a covered patio with a tile floor so the can cool down and get water.

Kori was great with my Golden Retriever Enzo. She was on time every day while I was gone for a few days! Communicating was great and she followed direction to the letter while caring for my son! Will definitely be Enzo’s step sitter in the future! Recommend to all! Thanks again Kori
I was nervous at first booking a rover sitter but Desiree put my fears to rest. She was open to a phone call where we discussed my expectations for taking care of the cats. I went over everything with her and she did a great job taking care of them and providing photos on each visit while I was away. Everything was how it should be when I got back which was really nice. I would definitely “hire” her again.
Sherri did a wonderful job caring for our pets! She was such a lifesaver being able to help out at just a short notice. First time meeting her and I felt like our animals would be in good hands and they were! I recommend Sherri if you want a reliable and caring person to watch over your pets, 100%! :)
Coco and Sallie were so happy to see Alyssa again. She came to our house twice a day for a Drop In visit while we were away for the day and she took great care of them. It is always great to get the videos and photos. Looking forward to using Alyssa again in the future. Sallie and Coco highly recommend her. Thank you again Alyssa!

“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them again.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated her daily communication—it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Greater Northdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
