About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for more than 20 years. I’ve got 3 pups at home and I am available all the time. I’m new to the area and would enjoy getting some extra walks in. If you need dog walking or dog or cat visiting, feeding, schedule maintenance, I can help. I’m not currently working so I have loads of availability and flexibility. I am a morning person. I am new to the area so I have a lot of free time. I will care for others’ pets however they need me to care for them! I am accommodating to their established routines for optimal comfort for the pet when their person isn’t available.
About: Being an animal lover all my years and having at times, two 90+ lb. furbabies of my own from puppy to senior age, I am experienced in dog care. You can rest assured no matter where you are, near or far, you can count on me providing a loving environment, whether in your home or mine. Your furbaby(ies) will get lots of love and attention. Whether you're here or traveling abroad your furbabies are safe and well provided for. Personally, knowing from experience how hard it is to leave a pet in kennel style boarding with barking dogs all day. I'm a stay at home family, looking forward to making extra money while having a nice time together in a kind and loving home. I like to abide by routines to make your pups stay a fun experience that they will look forward to a return stay. Currently, my home has one sweet female dog who is looking for someone to enjoy watching the birds with from out screen porch. Playing in the yard or taking walks for exercise.
“Since Rover tends to be dog focused, it can be hard to find sitters who really love and care about cats. But Stefanie does!! She took such good care of our cats during her drop-in visits. We received daily written updates and TONS of photos of her playing with, cuddling, and taking care of my cats. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with them and got to know their personalities very well. Her communication was clear and consistent, and the apartment was clean and well-taken care of when we returned. I will definitely re-book with her next time we go out of town!!”
“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”
“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”
“Terri did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! Upon my return, I could tell she was detailed in her care of them and that she had taken her time when on the visit. I would not hesitate to ask Terri to watch my cats again, should the need arise!”
“Taylor was excellent! He took great care of our senior cat, Jos, who can sometimes be very prickly around new people. He showed up on time, made sure Jos was fed and his litter boxes were cleaned, and followed all the directions we left for him. Taylor was attentive, friendly, and accommodating, and I would definitely book him for pet care in the future.”
“Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to wise senior dogs. I’m experienced with giving medication, handling anxious or shy pets with patience, and sticking to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and attention to detail—I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of care, cuddles, and communication along the way! I will be working full-time on weekdays during the summer, but I’m still fully available for weekend bookings. For weekday care, my boyfriend—who also loves animals and has experience caring for pets—will be available to help with drop-ins, walks, and check-ins. Together, we make sure your pets are well cared for even during the workweek! If your pet needs extra attention during the day, I’m happy to work out a schedule that ensures they get all the love, walks, and snuggles they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—from feeding times to walk schedules—so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep water bowls fresh, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the care they need, whether that’s cuddling on the couch or giving them space to relax. In your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and leave things just as I found them. Communication is key, so I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”

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 .

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.
