About: My experience caring for animals started in high school, when I would check in on family and friends’ pets while they were away. I loved getting to spend time with their pets and making sure they were fed, happy, and well cared for. Since then, I’ve gained 3 years of experience working in veterinary hospitals and am now a first year veterinary student at LMU. I’ve cared for pets before and after surgery, monitored their recovery, and helped with their everyday needs. I’m also Fear Free Certified, which has taught me how to help pets feel comfortable and less stressed while in my care. As a first-year veterinary student, I definitely have a busy schedule, but I always make time for the things I commit to. When I’m caring for your pet, they are my priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re happy and doing well while you’re away. When house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable while you’re away. Since I have multiple years of veterinary experience and am Fear Free Certified, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines.
“Elizabeth was always available to watch our old lady, Lou. She followed our feeding schedule and kept us updated on Lou's daily status. Elizabeth's care kept us at ease while we were out of the state for vacation.”
“We enjoyed working with Christine and our dog Leo liked her. She communicates effectively and responds fast. We appreciated the updates she sent us while we were away. We highly recommend her.”
“Cherisa did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was away on vacation. We met during a meet and greet and I showed her where everything was at and what my cats needed. She was very kind, sweet, and knowledgeable about animals. She is a vet tech and is in school to become a Veterinarian. So I knew that my cats were in great hands. She fed them, gave them water, administered my cat's medicine, cleaned their litter boxes, and even swept and wiped up accidents. I was able to really enjoy my vacation because Cherisa was prompt on her drop ins and was very thorough with her work. She provided a summary of how everyone was doing and pictures of my babies. I loved the updates. They really eased my mind knowing I did not have to worry about the cats. If you are looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter, book Cherisa. She did an outstanding job for our family. Thank you!”
“Summer has been amazing and the perfect extra help I needed with not one but two new puppies and another dog in the house. She loves on them and takes care of them like they are her own. She clearly has a love of animals and it shows in the care and attention she gives my babies. She is everything I could ask for in an animal caregiver. Do not hesitate to utilize her services. You will NOT be sorry.”
About: I am fear free certified and have extensive training in animal handling. I have owned dogs my entire life and my love for animals has led me to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I promise to love your pets as if they're my own and ensure quality services when caring for your animals! As a Veterinary student I have times throughout the day that are free for me to take care of personal jobs. This allows me to have flexible hours and ensure adequate amount of studying time. Taking care of your pets on my breaks is just as beneficial to me as it is to you! Everyone needs a pick me up and being in such a challenging program surrounding myself by lovely pets builds my animal connection and practice for my future career. I would ensure that your animal would never feel threatened, I have learned how to observe the animals behavior, react in calm manners, and determine when something is abnormal. I would treat clients and their pets as if they are apart of my family and ensure happiness among each pet I have the privilege to look after. I am very respectful and great at communicating so anything the client may need can be communicated and further discussed!

Happy to pop by multiple times a day at your request! There are quite a few dog parks in this area that I don’t mind taking your fur baby on a trip to!

No request is too demanding, I am a very detail oriented person with years of experience in operations management. You can trust me to meet the needs of your pets while maintaining order in your home.

Perfect for those weekend trips if you need to get away for any reason! I have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how most dogs are and I also know how much cats are.

About: I’m 24 years old and I’ve not know a day without animals in my life. I grew up on a farm and I couldn’t imagine life now without my three Boston terriers! I am comfortable with all pet types and have experience caring for exotic animals such as large and small birds, reptiles especially ball pythons, geckos, and bearded dragons. Rodents like mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils and chinchillas. As well as farm animals like cows, horses, pigs, chickens, goats, and sheep. I enjoy caring for all kinds of animals! Let me know what your babies need and we’ll work something out! I am a small business owner and I make my own schedule. I’m home most hours of most days. I live 10 minutes away from my business and never leave my dogs for more than 4 hours at a time without letting them out to potty. I WILL PET SIT FOR ANY ANIMAL NOT JUST DOGS AND CATS. I have experience specifically with non venomous snakes and other reptiles like bearded dragons, leopard and crested geckos etc. for the pups I have a 6 feet tall fenced in yard. My three Bostons terriers are crate trained and dog friendly. I am able to keep them separate completely from boarding dogs if need be.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harrogate
We had a wonderful experience with Addison! She took excellent care of our cats, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond—she even helped us troubleshoot an issue with our heating/AC unit while we were gone. That meant so much to us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and felt confident they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again!

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.

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 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.
