“Madeline was awesome in taking care of our dog while we traveled. She doesn’t just pop in take her out and leave she actually spent time with our dog which was so sweet! Thanks Madeline we will def be booking you again in the future.”
About: Ever since I raised my dogs, I learned that they are more than just pets, they are family. It is all about patience and understanding their needs. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have 3 dogs where 2 of them understand Spanish while my Frenchie is bilingual. I speak to my dogs in a gentle matter as they have the tendency to listen to positive tones. If pets need medication, I make sure to follow instructions as their health comes first. I currently have a dog who is a senior and on medication. I always make sure my babies are well and can tell when something is wrong. I work on a hybrid schedule where I’m in the office 3 times a week and can choose what days to go. If I am in care of a pet, I will work around my schedule to make sure I am present for them when I am at home. I do not go out at night and will be home especially when taking care of someone. I have a fenced backyard. I have 2 outside dogs (a chihuahua and a pitbull) and 1 inside dog (a Frenchie) who all have been neutered and spayed. Your pet will stay indoors for most of the time and my Frenchie will be excited to have someone to play with. Plenty of dog toys will be available. My outside dogs are senior dogs and will mostly ignore your pet as they do with my Frenchie.
“Great experience with Adriana! It was my first time using Rover and she was very flexible and willing to modify the booking as needed. During the visits, she was on time, very patience with my dogs, and kept me informed on how they were doing. They dogs loved her!”
“She’s been an amazing cat sitter! She’s always on time, takes great care of my cats and is super attentive. I really appreciate that she keeps me in the loop with regular updates and photos which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely cares and I always know my cats are in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: im not just a sitter, im a pet parent too! i know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. having pets of my own, i understand how different every pet’s personality, needs, and quirks can be, and i love getting to know each one. i treat every pet like i do my own: with patience, consistency, and plenty of cuddles :) im a college student, but when im not in class, im home taking care of my pets. they’re part of my daily life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. in my home, i provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i respect their space and maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and plenty of affection. i always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-attended while their owners are away
About: I’ve always had let’s since I was younger. I love to take care of pets and see how we can help them be active or maybe just sit at home. I currently don’t have a job and stay at home. So it’s a full time job for me. Looking to have someone care for daily or one time I follow instructions given by the owner and can contact in case of any rare situation. Normally roam around wherever and go on walk and hikes
About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked in a veterinary clinic and am comfortable with medication administration, senior pets, puppies, kittens, and pets that may be shy, nervous, or require extra patience. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently live with one friendly dog and one cat. My cat stays in my room and can be kept separate from visiting pets when needed. Visiting dogs have access to a secure wrap-around backyard with cameras and a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed.

Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I'll treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, playtime, and attention.

“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”
About: I have experience with dogs from since I was a kid. I see them as my own child. I have been through all their stages, puppy, adult and senior. I have a pup of our own at home. He is completely trained and vaccinated! I work from home all day, so the pups would have someone home all the time! Monday through Sunday works for me. I also work just 10 minutes away, so I can drop in whenever! I can care for your pets in our secure, fully fenced home where they’re treated like part of the family. Every guest enjoys a clean, comfortable space with plenty of room to play, consistent feeding schedules using the food you provide, fresh water at all times, and regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime suited to their energy level. They’ll have cozy sleeping arrangements and all the affection they could ask for, and because I limit the number of pets I host at a time, your furry friend always gets the individual attention they deserve. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been fostering for a few years now. Cats and dogs. Fostered a border collie for a year. Learned how to walk, train and care for animals Pet sitting will work for him since i have a few free hours in the day where i wouldn’t mind interacting with other fur babies I have a fenced yard to keep any fur babies safe. I will not let them be outside on their own. I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet is safe.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. My mom worked in a veterinary office, so I was fortunate to learn from an early age how to properly care for and understand different pets. I also have experience training puppies and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! 🐾 I’m currently in college and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM–3 PM. I also work part-time with a flexible, changing schedule, which leaves me with plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to work around my schedule and prioritize making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have a sweet, spoiled dog of my own who goes almost everywhere with me and absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs! I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass where pets can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’ll make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. 🐾

“Shannon has been taking care of my dogs for a couple of months now, as needed. They absolutely love her visits. I know this because of all the amazing photos she shares during her visits with them. I highly recommend her services!! And so do my three pups! 😃”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I have two German Shepherds of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling large, active, and intelligent breeds. Living with them has given me hands-on experience with daily exercise, training reinforcement, structured routines, and understanding canine behavior. I’m currently working and attending school on weekdays. I’m available all weekend for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate extra time for longer visits, house sitting, and quality time with your pets. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their unique routine, personality, and needs. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can keep their routine as consistent as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by providing plenty of attention, playtime, walks (for dogs), fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning (for cats), and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience while treating every pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Highlands choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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