About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.
“Dorian was absolutely incredible. She spent plenty of time with my pets, giving them love and attention, plenty of food and water, and ample outside time. Dorian also has an array of knowledge about dogs' wellbeing and was willing to impart that with me! She was extremely respectful of my space, provided plenty of reports and photos of the girls while I was gone, and was very friendly towards me as well. Thank you, Dorian!”
About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have rescue cats and doggos. My dog and cat are seniors. Every pet deserves a healthy and loving home. I have experience administering medication as one of my rescues was epileptic and needed daily meds and eye drops. I do have professional experience working for a dog daycare!! I love animals and will always advocate for those precious innocent souls that don’t have a voice. I work part time at a doggy daycare, I’m also a part time RBT working with children and young adults. Due to an inconsistent schedule as an RBT, I’m looking forward to being able to help care for animals. There is a space for doggies to walk around. No fence so they will stay on a leash and always be attended to and watched. There is a large park across the street that is perfect for walks and large trees to provide plenty of shade.
“Bayley did a great job! We just asked her to make sure the cats had food & water & scoop the litterboxes. She also cleaned the floor around the litterboxes, without us asking her to include that. :)”
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's something I've dedicated my life to! My background includes general practice, emergency and critical care, and specialty veterinary medicine, including internal medicine. I've cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I'm experienced in administering medications, recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health, caring for pets with chronic medical conditions, and remaining calm in unexpected situations. My years in emergency medicine have taught me the importance of paying attention to even the smallest details. **One of the biggest perks? I work from home!** This means I can offer plenty of companionship, supervision, cuddles, and personalized attention throughout the day. Whether your pet loves curling up beside me while I work, needs frequent potty breaks, or simply feels more comfortable having someone nearby, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. Beyond my professional experience, I'm also a devoted pet parent who understands that our animals are family. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry loved ones. Whether I'm welcoming your pet into my home, caring for them in the comfort of their own space, or stopping by for a visit, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. With me, your pet isn't just being watched. They're being cared for. 🐾❤️ I work remotely from home, which allows me to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine! I'm home throughout my workday and can provide companionship, supervision, and attention between tasks and during breaks. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines, so I do my best to follow each pet's usual feeding, potty, medication, and rest schedule. Whether your pet enjoys relaxing nearby while I work or needs a little extra reassurance throughout the day, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness! **In my home:** I work remotely, so I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervision, and plenty of love. I strive to create a calm, cozy, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual feeding, potty, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I also have two cats of my own, so ensuring everyone's safety and compatibility is especially important to me. Introductions are handled carefully, and I respect each pet's individual personality and boundaries. **In your home:** I understand that many pets feel most comfortable in their familiar surroundings. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine, including meals, medications, litter box or potty care, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is doing well. With 16 years of veterinary experience, I'm especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets and those with additional medical needs, and I know the importance of remaining calm and attentive in unexpected situations. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual, respecting their needs, routines, and personalities while giving them the same patience, kindness, and love I'd want for my own. 🐾❤️
“We planned a trip to Grand Tetons but were in a bind with what to do about our dogs. Karen came to the rescue and let our dogs out during the days while we were in the park. It gave us peace of mind and they weren’t cooped up all day. Definitely recommend Karen!”
“Thank you Taylor! She was communicative and thorough during her visit which put me at ease that my pets were well cared for. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
About: I currently have a dog and I’ve always had pets like cats, bunnies, hamsters and I have dog sat for my aunts in the past. I’m currently a college student full time, I’m looking for a job that I love and with flexible hours so that I can attend classes. I’m in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow dogs currently so I don’t dog sit in my own living space but I can walk dogs, check on them, feed and take them out, and dog sit in your home. I can also cat sit/do check-ins for cats.
“Marilyn did a great job doing drop-in visits for our dogs for a week. She was very responsive and took good care of them, sending lots of pictures and videos to us as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”

I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.
“Christy did an excellent job! She dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town and gave both of them their inhaler doses without issue. She spent a good amount of quality time with them and helped them feel relaxed while I was away!”

I am mature and responsible and my friends and family tell me I am the most trustworthy person they know.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Homecroft
We came back to a happy, well-cared-for Crystal! Dorian did a wonderful job taking care of her while we were away. She regularly shared pictures and updates, explaining what Crystal was up to and how she spent time with her. It was so reassuring to see Crystal comfortable and getting attention while we were traveling. Her updates gave us great peace of mind, and we truly appreciated the care and thoughtfulness. We would happily trust Dorian with Crystal again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Homecroft is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,566 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Homecroft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Homecroft. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
