About: I've cared for pets my whole life. As an adult I've cared for roommates pets, checked on pets for friends and family when they've been out of town, and I've fostered cats for friends and shelters. I've had interactions with a wide variety of dog breeds so I'm willing to work with any breeds and ages as long as they're ok with other animals. I've cared for a variety of cat breeds, also guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and a wide variety of fish. I'm pretty open to caring for any type of pets. I live in the country with woods and a creek around my property, but I don't have a fence. My backyard is like a meadow with milkweed and wildflowers with paths, and the front is more open and clear for dogs to run and play. The way it's set up, the trees and bushes make a fence like perimeter and I have been able to let dogs roam off leesh when we're outside, but if you know your dog is a runner, they can be tied out easily. I do live along an ATV trail so there is a good amount of ATV traffic on weekends, in case you're dog is bothered by them. I take my dog for walks (I bike with her too) along the ATV trail and never have issues with drivers. I have a 5 year old female Rottweiler German Shepherd mix (spayed) and a Mama cat and her 4 kittens that are fosters through the local shelter. They all get along well together, but can be kept separate from your pets if need be. Mama Kitty does swat and hiss with new dogs if they're too close to her babies. Prior to my current pets I had a male Shi-tzu and "barn kitten" cat that started adventuring with me in their older years. They'd hike, camp, and kayak with me. I included some pictures of them as well as my Delta Rae Dawn with some of her doggy buddies and my current foster kittens and their Mama. For those that travel to this area, you can camp on my property any time of year, as long as you don't mind rustic camping. I have a Travco camper that has 2 bunks, hammock, and bench seat space for an inflatable mattress (provide your own). Just ask for more details. I work from home, self-employed, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have regular health care appointments every week, which takes me away for an hour or so, and have at home visits twice a week, but none of that should interfere. I'm in two choirs, so I'm away Tuesday and Thursday evenings for a few hours. So I am at my house the majority of the time. I live in the country in a trailer home (single size). I'm surrounded by woods but I have an ATV trail in front of my house and no fence. I would need a tether of some sort for dogs and have tethered and leash walked cats. I do have tethers and leashes for small dogs or cats. I don't use a kennel for my dog so I don't have any at my house, but am fine with using your dogs kennel in my house. I am able to separate my pets from your pets in my house, if there are any issues.

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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
