“We have been having Kristin visiting our 2 senior choco labs while we traveled. She is very reliable and i’m so glad i have her to care for our dogs. She’s always punctual and graciously helped with packages. We love having her!”
“Catie was amazing with our dogs. Great communication before meeting and while watching our dogs. We could tell our dogs were very comfortable with her. We will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: Growing up as kids we had every animal imaginable: Chickens, horses, pigs, sheep, cats, reptiles and of course dogs! My siblings and I did 4-H for quite a few years, showing pigs and sheep; because of this I know a fair amount about a wide variety of animals. We lived out of town growing up but we had about 10-15 neighbors in our “cluster”. I started pet sitting for the neighbors around 12 years old and ended up becoming the “go - to” pet sitter of the neighborhood. I have a dog and horse, Teal and Paisley. Teal over a year ago ended up having two little babies that we kept in the family. Teal is a Golden Retriever/Black Lab and the dad was a Purebred English Setter, the puppies were adorable. My mom ended up taking “Hoss the Boss” or Hoss and my fiancé took “Winston Pinston” or Winston. They all absolutely love each other and get so excited when they all get to be together. My fiancé and I just relocated to Echo, Oregon and I’m looking to fill my free time by providing high quality care for your fur babies. My goal is to provide a safe, enriching and relaxing environment for all animals in my care. Thank you for taking time to read my profile and I look forward to hearing from you! I’m currently only working part time so I’m not away from the house for too long at one time. When I’m home we are very active and spend a lot of time outside gardening, hanging on the patio and taking walks. I like to provide positive interactions with any animal I’m around. I do my best to read body language and determine how I’m going to interact with the dog/horse/cat etc. My animals (a dog and a horse) are my world and they know it, that’s for sure!
About: I’ve literally never been without a dog in my life! I have experience with different breeds and lifestyles. Dogs have a special place in my heart and it would absolutely be my pleasure to love on your pup for a while! I am a stay at home mom so I am always around to give the dogs the love and care they need! We have a dog so pet care is already a huge part of our lives. We go on regular walks and enjoy a ton of time outside. The kids love to play fetch and run around with the dogs and there will never be a boring moment!
About: I am equally comfortable with dogs and cats so multi pet homes aren’t an issue. I hold great patience for shy or independent pets and real energy for dogs that need active walks or playtime. I have no issue with adjusting to what your pet actually needs rather than introducing a generic routine. Currently I am a student so I am best for the weekends but if you need help during the week my Wednesday’s are open and Tuesday and Thursday evenings are available as well for visits. I treat every home like it’s my own so respecting your space and following your instructions will be easy. I’m great at communicating and i’ll make sure to keep you updated to relieve your worries and make sure your pets feel safe in their home while your presence is missed.

If anyone is looking for a dog sitter I can tell you Kristin is the best she did above and beyond what I asked and she makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you meet her. She took care of my sweet boy just like I would have. I definitely will use her again. Thank you for all you did Kristin

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
