About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ve spent several years working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, administer medications when needed, and help pets feel comfortable and safe, even in unfamiliar situations. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already what I do every day. I work full-time in veterinary medicine, so my schedule revolves around the health and well-being of pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to spend even more time doing what I love by providing personalized care outside of the clinic. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to provide reliable, compassionate care that fits seamlessly into their routine while giving you peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old.

About: I’m a K9 trainer with six years of experience, including three years working professionally. I work with dogs every day and am Canine and Feline CPR certified. I also own an Australian Shepherd who excels in agility, games, and service dog tasks. Training and caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me, it’s my career and my passion, and I love being able to share that with others. I work full time doing K9 training and taking care of boarding dogs, but I still make time throughout the day to look after additional pets. My schedule is flexible, and I even have the option to bring dogs with me to work, giving them extra attention and enrichment. I make sure my own dog’s needs are met every day with activities that keep him happy and fulfilled, and I bring that same level of care to every client’s pet. I take the time to ensure each dog is comfortable, well cared for, and has their unique needs met. I truly enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities and quirks, it’s one of the best parts of what I do.
About: I’ve provided pet sitting and care for multiple dogs, and cats including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines for friends, family and even people around my neighborhood. I’ve loved animals since childhood, and even had my own lab for 16 years who I loved to the moon and back but sadly passed away late 2024. I know older animals require a certain level of attention and care. I love staying active, and high energy animals and I get along great! I do not mind larger animals. I have consistent availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with additional flexible availability throughout the week depending on my schedule. I’m great with planning ahead and keeping a reliable routine with my clients! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I maintain feeding schedules, regular walks, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I always aim to keep their environment calm, consistent, and familiar. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.

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.

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 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.
