About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been providing dedicated dog walking and pet care since 1998. Over the last two decades, I’ve worked with small, medium, and large breeds, giving me a deep understanding of the unique needs and energy levels across all sizes.Having personally owned a high-energy Blue Heeler and currently sharing my life with a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I am incredibly adaptable to different canine temperaments. Whether your pup is an intense, active working dog that needs a structured job, a gentle giant, or a sensitive soul who loves a slow, sniff-heavy stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific behavioral and physical requirements. Your dog's safety, happiness, and unique personality will always be my top priority! I care for my family daily, including my twin teenage daughters and an 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Chipper. I've been Chipper's primary caregiver since we brought him home as a 10 week old puppy, and he's the center of attention and love here in our home. He's fed twice daily, given treats twice daily, walked every morning, and played with and snuggled multiple times a day! I have a fully fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood with my elderly, sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It's a lovely, calm, inviting environment for everyone.
“Jenna was Amazing! She took such great care of my two fur babies and kept me up to date with everything the whole time I was gone. She sent multiple pictures everyday and it made me feel so much better about being away. I highly recommend Jenna!”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, ensuring a safe and clean environment, feeding, administering basic care, and closely monitoring each dog’s behavior and well-being. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. In addition to my daycare experience, I also provide housesitting services for some of my regular clients, giving their pets personalized, one-on-one care in a familiar environment. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, recognizing body language and signs of stress, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate boarding requests at any time, as long as there’s clear communication and some flexibility around my school schedule. I appreciate advance notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. For dog walking, I’m currently available after 2:00 PM each day until May 7. After that date, I’ll have open availability, as long as bookings are made ahead of time. When I’m house sitting, my goal is to keep your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just being outside. I also spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone—this includes attention, affection, and sticking to any routines they’re used to. I’m very attentive to their behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I raised my own dog and cared for her until she was 13 years old, which gave me invaluable, hands-on experience through every stage of a dog's life. Because of our long journey together, I am especially attuned to the gentle, patient care that senior dogs require, understanding their unique needs and comfort levels. I am excited to bring that same dedication, love, and attentive care to your furry family members, whether they are energetic puppies or relaxed seniors. My daily routine is highly structured and reliable, allowing me to easily incorporate dedicated time for pet care. I am an early riser who is committed to a daily fitness routine, making me a great fit for energetic morning walks or active play sessions. Whether it's sticking to a strict feeding schedule or ensuring your pet gets their daily exercise, my organized lifestyle means your pets will always receive consistent, on-time care. Safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a trail in my neighborhood great for your fur baby! Having raised my own dog through her senior years to age 13, I am deeply familiar with pet-proofing spaces, monitoring for hazards, and handling pets with gentle care. I love dogs and have grown up with dogs all my life! Our neighborhood has great paths for walks. Please bring their food, treats and a food bowl. Also, a leash, and a harness if needed, for walks. You are welcome to bring a dog bed, blanket, or anything that would help them feel comfortable.
“It is so difficult to find a pet sitter who can deal with giant breeds (particularly a hyper puppy). Aundria was patient and professional. She kept me informed and sent photos/videos of our baby. Will definitely hire again! A+ experience.”
“Joanna was amazing to work with! From the moment we met, I trusted her to come in my home and care for my sweet puppy. She is experienced and knows what she is doing, and I felt very comfortable with her. She is prompt, easy to communicate with and really cared for my dog. She will be my first phone call in the future!”
“A big thanks to Briana for checking in on our cat Sam! We have booked with Briana many times over the past year and she is always professional and communicates with us frequently with plenty of pictures and videos. :)”
About: Hi All, I have been a high school teacher/coach for 33 years and am finally retired. I am excited to have time to love on all the Pets I can! I have had a variety of pets my entire life. I have been a proud Mama to all sizes of dogs from an apple head chihuahua to a 120-pound boxer. I have also had several cats, hamsters, ferrets, birds and fish. I currently have 2 senior dogs: a beautiful black pug (Lucy) and a chihuahua (Zeus). I certainly love all ages of dogs, but I do love the seniors and understand the love and care they need. I am new to Rover but excited about the opportunity to care for everyone's babies. I am still working at school until the end of May so currently available after 3 and on weekends. (unless I am skipping!!!). I will have tons of availability after June 1st. I have 2 small (pug and chihuahua) dogs which are dog friendly. In your home I will follow your directions and instructions along with of course snuggles and love.
About: My entire life, my home has been described as the neighborhood’s “local zoo.” From livestock to pocket pets, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. I’ve volunteered working hands-on with animals at the zoo, and currently care for two dogs, one cat, some small animals, and fish I’ve been pet sitting for over five years and have experience with many dog breeds, ages, and personalities. I focus on building trust, supporting positive behavior, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in my care. I believe pets deserve to enjoy being animals—without unnecessary stress—while still feeling understood and respected by the humans around them. I’m currently a full time commuting student. My school hours will begin at 8am and end at 4:30pm most days. I will be available to feed and walk your pet before and after these timings. Weekends I am free with notice. Pets are allowed supervised free roam of my home. During the day, they will likely be confined to one room or a crate if needed while I’m at school. Pets will have unlimited access to water, other dogs to interact with, plenty of toys, etc.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them! As the proud owner of two cats and a Husky, I know that every pet has their own unique personality and deserves lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and love making time for pets! Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or lots of attention while you’re away, I’ll be there to provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Well it was great with though. She visited three times during the day of my surgery to let bow out and putting back in his crate. He got to play she sent us pictures of the space the treats that I requested as well as the winter”
“Amy drops in to visit Cooper mid day and does a great job! Cooper is so happy in her care. She takes lots of photos and videos and provides detailed updates. Easy to communicate with.”
About: You can call me Deji! I have been taking care of dogs/puppies for about 3 years but more heavily for the last year. I have taken care of cats, a few snakes, and reptiles. I’m open to all creatures except for bugs. I am very much a dog person though and like to get to know the character of each of them. I have a very flexible schedule. I tend to find a way to conduct my schedule like the dog to make things easier. I do also work at home Saturday thru Wednesday so I’m home most of the day anyways. I can be flexible with scheduling based on requests. When feeding I separate the dogs no matter what. Other than that I try to make them socialize and be free as much as possible. I like when dogs feel free around the home. I especially like they are involved in the activity I’m doing.
About: I have been taking care of dogs over 10+ years! From family dogs to working at two pet resorts as well! My experience with dogs range from Pomeranians to pitbulls and cane Corsos! I have watched single dogs to managing packs of dogs as well (5+), and while maintaining a fun and relaxed environment for dogs, but also a safe environment! I will be busy with class from 11-3:30, but can walk dogs before or after then! I am completely free on the weekends as well! And it varies per day on my availability (depending on the time of my class, I might get out earlier!) In my clients home I will follow the schedule the owner provides! I will make sure no harmful food or toys are out as well, providing a fun and safe environment for the dog(s)!
“Darrius was awesome! It was my first time doing drop-in visits and he made me feel at ease with the photo and video updates. He was gentle with my anxious dog which I very much appreciated! I would definitely use his services again.”
About: I have great patience when it comes to caring for pets, I will take the time to ensure quality walks and play time or training. I graduated college with a Bachelor’s degree in Science and while I am searching for my future career, I am full time available to assist with watching/walking dogs I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home, we care for them and give them attention everyday. I have plenty of experience and I am highly active, so play sessions or walks will be great exercise for them. I will take care of your pet's environment/home environment and will ensure that your pet is comfortable with me. All tasks and detailed instructions will be followed.
About: Fur babies have always been a part of my family, even before I was born. I’ve always had a deep love for them and genuinely enjoy caring for them. That bond is especially strong with my fur baby, Mazi, who currently lives with her grandmother. I work from home and am available for bookings with at least 48 hours’ notice prior to the requested start date and time. I am also available on weekends and can offer flexibility to accommodate your schedule when needed. I reside in a gated apartment community that features a designated dog park and multiple walking areas, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air. Inside my home, there is ample space for your pet to move freely and play comfortably. I do not use crates or indoor confinement unless specifically requested by the owner.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Greatwood
Jillian is incredible. We have used her services several times now. Each time she has done exactly as asked. Our four fur babies love her and she takes amazing rover pics that are great for keeping. Easy to work with and very flexible and understanding. 10/10 will always recommend.
Jamie was so easy to work with, and made us being away from our pet about as easy as possible! She sent pics and updates with each visit, and was very successful with giving our cat his medicine! She even checked on my Mom, who enjoyed Jamie's visits! I was very grateful for her help!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
