About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and dog sat for social workers and psychologists that I used to work for. I grew up with and took care of welsh terriers, wire fox terriers, and Scottish terriers. I’ve dog sat mutts, pit bulls, and Australian shepherds. I take great care to follow instructions for your fur babies and to treat them with love and respect. ** I have base access ** I currently am in school 2 days out of the week. The rest of the time I’m at home, doing homework, or cooking. Would love to help out homes in my neighborhood that want to make sure their pets get what they need! I follow the instructions to a T. You know your pets the best and what they respond to and not. I’m not here to experiment or try anything new. Just a fill in for you and what you would normally be doing.
About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.
“Melissa took such good care of my kitty Frances! Frances always hides from strangers but came out for Melissa which speaks for itself. Will definitely book again in the future, thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Meaghan, a 24 year old college student, and I’ve been working in veterinary medicine since 2022 as both a Veterinary Assistant and CSR. Through my work in vetmed, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs, personalities, and routines. I have also helped my aunt with her dog-walking and drop-in pet care business, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs in their own homes and keeping them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to give plenty of love, playtime, walks, and belly rubs. 🐾 I'm currently a full-time student and looking to fit in pet care inbetween commitments as I miss my day-to-day in vetmed. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits in your pet’s own home and neighborhood. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout every visit.
About: I have had and taken care of pets (dogs & cats )pretty much my whole life. I take care of my neighbor’s dogs when they are away or just want me to check in on them when they are working. I have been retired for 5 years now. I would love to be able to take care of someone’s animal. Whether it be just a few walks or just checking in on them to make sure they are safe and happy. I can feed and change litter boxes, provide play time or just a check in while you are away. I know how precious our fur babies are to us as I have 2 cats of my own. I watch my neighbors dog and love her like she was mine. If you select me to take care of your fur baby I will respect you home. I would treat it as if it was my own. I am very trustworthy and meticulous.

“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”
About: From a very young age until now, I’ve cared for and owned dogs. I’m experienced in training them to do little tricks as well! I’ll look after your dogs, big or small, young or old! My current weekday availability is in the morning until noon. For weekends, I am usually able to care for your pets all day and into the evening, but that may be subject to change. I can feed your beloved critters and take them outside when needed. Please ask if you have any questions! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, big and small.
About: From pups to senior dogs and kitten to elderly cats, all pets deserve a little extra pampering when their people are away! I look forward to meeting your pet or pet crew and helping them live their best lives! I work a variety of odd jobs so I'm available when needed for your pets! During a typical pet sitting stay I aim to spend nor more than 2-8 hours away from the house depending on the needs of the animals. Keeping animals in a familiar routine is my main focus. Whatever their usual daily schedule looks like (feeding times, walks, bedtime, etc) is what I try to recreate. I have experience administering medication if needed and am happy and able to provide walks as far as your pet enjoys.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was young, spending a lot of time taking care of my own, family, and friend’s pets. From high energy play to slow and chill pets I have experienced it all. My personal pet, Luke, is my pride and joy, he loves to play all of the time and even knows sit, stand, follow, high five, and first bump! 🐱 My goal is to make sure your pets feel the love and quality care I make sure to treat my fur baby with. ♥️ I am currently working remotely, thus, I have tons of time to give your pets plenty of love and care! If you need any specifics please let me know, I am willing to work with you and take care of your needs hassle free. I personally have a 7 month old kitten and I believe the care I provide for him highlights the level of care I would provide your pet. While my cat has a very out going and high energy personality, I also love and enjoy pets who are shy or reserved. I can change my care as needed. However, the following is the care I provide my pet. - Litter Box scooping 2x a day - Preparing and Feeding 2x a day - Plenty of Play Time - Training with Treats - Tons of cuddles - Brushing - Teeth brushing daily
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 and have fed, bathed, and loved them since then. I have 3 dogs of my own so I understand the work it takes to care for puppies to senior dogs. I’m majoring in Animal Science at my college, so I’ve definitely made a lifelong commitment to furry friends!! I’m always free to fit in time for animals since I’m unemployed , so whenever I’m needed for a dawn or dusk walk, I’m there! I have 3 dogs at home already, so I would choose not to bring your dog to my home to reduce stress for both your dogs and mine. I am happy to take them on neighbourhood walks or dog park visits

“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 5years working experience with both large and small domestic/captive animals. This, along with my education at UCD, has helped me gain utmost confidence in reading an animal’s body language and behaving in ways they can be comfortable with me. I am a big fan of enrichment, so I am all for anything you’re willing to try for your pet that can get their minds stimulated! I’m detail oriented and skilled at maintaining whatever level of energy your pet needs. I’m currently working full time at a farm animal sanctuary and have the flexibility to walk or drop in on your pup between 6a-11a and from 9p-overnight as needed I have a 1bed apartment and a friendly golden that is trained to be around reactive dogs. I love to visit nearby parks and green belts, so rest assured your pet will have the sniff of a lifetime!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
