“This is our second time having Joey pet sit though this time it was drop in visits for our cats. She is an amazing sitter and I love the photos!! She is great to work with and we will continue to reach out! Our cat that likes to hide comes out for Joey!”
“Jenifer was so awesome! She took great care with our 2 cats for the weekend while we were away. She was really thorough about learning how to care for them and we felt so confident for our first time using rover. We’re really pleased!”
About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!
“We had a wonderful experience with Julei! She was reliable and clearly care for Miss Bailey like her own! She provided notes and pics of her visits which were much appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt very much at ease while we’re were gone.”
“Kim is one of the best sitters my cats have ever had! She is timely, professional, and truly puts in the time to give you a great update on your animals. This was the first time I was not worried about leaving my cats in someone else’s care. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jessica was amazing!! Our crew loved hanging out with her! She sent pics with every drop in and was very attentive to the group! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and we will be booking with her again!”
“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.
“I can’t recommend Maddie highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute over the Christmas holiday when I had a family emergency, and she was absolutely fantastic. Maddie took amazing care of my two cats, Isabella and Coco. Coco is notoriously shy and has always hidden from previous sitters, but Maddie worked her magic and managed to coax her out—something no one else has been able to do! She made sure both cats ate well, stayed happy, and received plenty of attention. Maddie also kept me updated with daily videos and photos, which gave me such peace of mind during a stressful time. Maddie is a true professional and clearly loves animals. I feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have been a dedicated animal lover and pet owner my entire life. My experience is rooted in long-term personal ownership and recent, reliable caregiving for friends and family. Dog Expertise: I grew up with dogs and, prior to moving to this neighborhood, I was the trusted, regular dog walker and sitter for family and friends. This experience involved handling daily walks, managing feeding schedules, and providing necessary companionship and playtime for various breeds, including both high-energy and senior dogs. Cat Expertise: I am a current, devoted cat parent (along with my husband). I am highly proficient in all aspects of cat care, including understanding subtle feline behavioral cues, managing litter box routines, and ensuring a calm, stress-free environment for shy or independent cats. General Care: I am reliable, responsible, and committed to following your specific care instructions precisely. I understand that sticking to a pet's routine is essential for their well-being. Specific Skills Medication Administration: Comfortable and capable of administering oral medications (pills or liquid) as needed. Safety & Walks: Skilled in leash handling and ensuring safety during walks in local neighborhoods. Home Security: Highly respectful of your home and dedicated to maintaining security and cleanliness during my visits. Communication: Committed to providing detailed updates, photos, and clear communication after every visit. Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and is a welcome break from my desk! I look forward to the opportunities to get out for walks and visits. Here is how I structure my day around my pet clients: Midday Priority: My lunch break is specifically reserved for client visits. I am typically available between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to ensure your pet gets a much-needed potty break, walk, or play session to break up their day. Flexible Bookends: My WFH schedule allows me to be flexible and accommodate early morning or evening walks/check-ins (e.g., around 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM), which is crucial for pets needing a dinner time routine or a final potty break. Pet-Centric Household: Pet care is a core part of my life. My husband and I are devoted to our cat, Remi, and caring for him—including managing his special diet and occasional medication—means maintaining a consistent, pet-focused schedule is simply normal for me. I only provide care right in your home—I don't offer boarding at my place. Pets are happiest where they live, and I love bringing the care directly to them! How I Care for Your Pet (20–30 Minute Visits) For Dogs 🐕: Walks & Routine: I stick strictly to your routine! As a WFH person, I love getting out for focused, safe walks, whether it's midday or an evening stroll. Safety First: I have lots of experience walking and sitting for friends/family, and following instructions is my top priority. For Cats 🐈: Calm Connection: As a dedicated cat parent, I understand and adjust to different cat personalities. I focus on reading your cat's mood, providing quiet companionship or playtime on their terms. Special Needs? No Problem: Just like my own cat, I'm totally comfortable handling oral meds, special diets, and those essential quick clean-ups (litter box/accidents). I promise clear communication and lots of fun photo updates during and/or after every single visit!
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I and my husband are retired so we have a lot of time to spend with your dog and will walk them a few times a day and play with them. They will always have someone with them. I take younger dogs for a morning, afternoon and night walk. I adjust the number of walks and distance if they are older dogs. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).
“Mikaela and Shane are fantastic pet sitters! They are excellent communicators, they went above and beyond my expectations and their attention to detail is spectacular! My pets were so well cared for and loved on with every visit.”
About: I've grown up with rescue dogs my whole life. For the past 17 years, I've been living and teaching overseas, and no matter where I've been in the world, animals have been part of my family's life. There's something about pets that goes beyond companionship; they're a witness to our lives with no strings attached love- It's our responsibility to be their advocates. Right now I'm home with my little one (11 month old), so I have the time and presence to give your dog or dogs the care, love, and reassurance they need while you're away. Whether it's a neighborhood walk or a longer hike, I'm up for it! Puppies, seniors, anxious pups- I'm happy to help! Being at home with my baby means I have a flexible routine, so pet care fits in easily throughout the day. I can work around what your dog needs, whether it's a morning walk, a midday drop in, or afternoon hike. I know dogs do best with a consistent rhythm, routine, and presence. I can come to you so your dog feels comfortable in their own environment, with their own routine. I'm happy to be a familiar, safe person for them so they can thrive and feel comfortable. I'll follow your lead on feeding routines and anything special that helps support your dog. You know your dog best, I'm there to keep things as consistent as possible while you're away.

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 Hartland 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
