“Alessandra was great. It was my first time trusting a stranger with my dogs AND to enter my home while I was away--both things that made me very nervous. However, the meet and greet made me feel very comfortable with Alessandra. Her concern for my dogs' safety and well-being felt 100% genuine, and put me at ease instantly. The dogs seemed to sense the good-person vibes too :)”
About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s new best friend 🐾 With a background in veterinary medicine, I bring both lots of love and professional know-how to every pup I care for. Whether your dog is full of energy, a couch cuddler, or needs a little extra medical attention, I’ve got it covered. I’m comfortable with medications, special care routines, and reading your pup’s signals to keep them happy and healthy. Expect plenty of tail wags, belly rubs, and photo updates while you’re away!

I make sure animals feel safe, enriched, and cared for through attention, structure, and affection. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s something I naturally incorporate into how I move through my day. in my home and in my clients’ homes, I provide care that is consistent, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest.

I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level so they feel safe and understood. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with supervision, enrichment, and plenty of affection. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages, photos, and reassurance while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of my pet goats for almost my entire life. Yes, goats. A bit unconventional but they gave me tons of experience in the proper care of animals, warning signs to look out for (behavior and medical), and basic health care. I've pet-sitted for many family members and close friends for pets like small/large dogs, bunnies, and miscellaneous farm animals. I am currently a full time credential student, so I would be the best fit for someone looking for weekend or holiday pet care. I'm more than happy to do late afternoon check-ins or walks during the weekdays, but my schedule is limited in flexibility. I won't be able to keep pets at my own home, but I will take excellent care of your fur babies in the comfort of theirs.

I’m obviously not ready to get a new dog. But I would be honored to walk your dog. My late afternoon are perfect taking your dog out for a a midday stroll. During softball season I work on the weekends but I may have weekends open up or I can take them early in the morning and in late afternoon if that’s something you would prefer.

Whether that be medication, sleep schedule, feeding schedule or just corky things are fur baby enjoys I will be happy to do.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always had dogs and cared for several small pets.

I'll care for your pets with the same attention, affection, and respect I give my own. My availability is after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, and I'm also available on select weekends.

About: Hi, I’m Nina, a lifelong animal lover raised and surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of who I am. I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a cuddle session with a cat or a long walk with a high-energy pup, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered!) family members! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine right now, as I’ve recently relocated back from Europe and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully available for visits, give pets unhurried attention, and adapt to their specific needs. I’m able to prioritize consistency, whether that means regular check-ins, administering care on schedule, or simply spending quality time to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. I offer care in both my home and my client’s home, depending on what’s best for the pet. In my home, cats and dogs enjoy a large, secure yard and a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for outdoor time or just chilling without stress. When I’m at a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s routine, feeding, play, litter box or yard maintenance, and any special care like medications. I keep their space clean and comfortable, and take time to make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
“I was out of town for two weeks and didn’t have anyone to take care of my dogs. I hired Gonzalo who had never met my dogs and he did great. He was a huge help he also takes and sends pictures with every visit which I liked a lot. I highly recommend his services.”
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years, most of my life from my own pets to family,friends and neighbors pets. Feeding, Walking, Playing to just hanging out with them and giving them love and comfort. I've taken care of pets that needed special care such as administering medicine, feeding on set schedule for specific dietary needs and giving extra care to those pets who get extreme separation anxiety.

Drop in visits, Dog Walking and House sitting I am free most days/nights Monday through Sunday. I'm flexible.

About: My husband and I share a deep love for dogs and treat them like family. Your pup would receive our full attention, affection, and care. We're both active and love going on walks—if that's their thing—but we're just as happy to spend time relaxing and cuddling indoors. We're attentive to each dog’s unique needs and are experienced with giving medications and following special diets, as our own dog has a few of his own. We both have the flexibility to work from home, so we can spend extra time with your pet while you're away. I love sending photos updates and will treat your dog as if it's mine. I don't watch dogs from multiple owners at once - your dog will be the center of our world while they're here! If you're looking for a safe, loving space and for your dog to receive excellent care, I am your Rover sitter! Check out our gallery to see photos of Watson (our dachshund) and the pups we've looked after in the past! I work full time, but work from home some days and have some flexibility with my schedule. Weekend days are best as we're both home all the time, but we can also help on weekdays. My husband works later and usually leaves for work in the afternoon and I get home a few hours after he leaves, so there isn't a long gap where our dog is alone. I have a fenced yard and a dachshund that is friendly and chill. Our neighborhood is very safe, your dog wouldn't ever go outside unless leashed.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hilmar stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
