About: Caring for dogs isn't just a service for me—it’s personal. From 10 years of age my family and I have cared for Beagles, Pointers and Brittany Spaniels. Most recently have spent over 12 years caring for a Golden Retriever. I specialize in providing the gentle, attentive care that older dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in working with puppies on routine and basic training. Whether your pet needs a slow-paced day with extra comfort or active puppy guidance, I treat every dog like my own with personalized attention and frequent updates. *Experienced with administering daily oral medications *Pet safety is paramount in my home or walks *Fenced yard for maximum peace of mind I retired from work 2 years ago. My routine revolves around spending plenty of time at home, which makes integrating pet care seamless and natural. Mornings begin with energetic outdoor time, feeding, and fresh water, followed by continuous monitoring and check-ins throughout the day. Because I am consistently present, I can closely follow your dog's exact routine—from midday walks and bathroom breaks to relaxing afternoons and structured evening routines. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my own home or visiting a client’s, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-proofed, and secure environment free from hazards, toxic plants, or loose items. I closely monitor pets to ensure they are comfortable, safe, and never left unattended in unsecured areas. When visiting a client's home, I strictly follow your household rules, keep doors and gates secure, and ensure doors/windows are locked during visits. I am also extremely mindful of home security, mail collection, and keeping the space clean, so you come back to a happy pet and a secure home.
About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.
About: I have taken care and loved all ages of dogs my whole life. From owning them to watching the neighbors and friends. I have also worked in a professional setting for about 5+ years and have had experience caring for all different breeds and their specific individual needs. In addition, I have training experience with Penn Vet Working Dog Center as well as some classes I attended at a training school! I’m grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and all the ones waiting to be had! I have currently care for 3 different types of animals (cat, gecko, and turtle!) I did have a dog as well however she sadly passed recently. I am able to crate dogs as well as provide medications and keep up with dietary restrictions. I am able to walk as well as play and spend time with the pups! For cats I am able to scoop litter and give as many or as little cuddles as the cat may enjoy! I’m good with feeding as well as administering meds to cats
“Marian was great with our senior cat. We would definitely hire her again. Our kitty was happy to see us and seemed well when we returned. Thank you for going the extra mile during some surprise stormy weather to get to our girl, Marian!”
“Heather came over for a pre-sit visit to meet our cat, who can be a little moody but Heather immediately won her over with treats. I felt comfortable going out of town with Heather coming by. She sent pictures and updates. I truly appreciate her!”
“Haley has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Coco! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural connection with animals (Coco always seemed so happy after their time together). It gave me such peace of mind knowing Coco was in such good hands each week. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little as I always had a special bond with dogs. I went to a tech school for veterinary science where we were trained in many things, one of which being nail trimming. I can also assist in training puppies, but I am not a professional trainer. I am currently in college with a part time job. I can stay over the weekend if needed or a couple days during the week. I can walk your dog in the afternoon or evening depending on what works with your schedule. I only have classes 2 days a week where I would be able to let your dog out between my classes if that is what was needed. My schedule is very flexible! I do not do boarding in my home, but your pet will have the comfort of remaining in their safe place at home. I will give updates on how your pet is doing whenever you want them or if you just want to check up on them.
About: Hi! My name is Emily! I’m 21 and have been dog sitting/walking on and off for about 6 years. I’ve always had a deep love for all animals. I’m well versed on animal behavior, and know how to read dog’s emotional cues very well. I love to get out and be active so why not do it with a little friend by my side! I would love to spend time with your pet no matter the size, breed, or age:) I’m currently available all day Monday, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays after 3pm, Thursdays until 5pm, all day Friday, and Sunday after 3pm! I also have my own dog at home who needs to be taken care of and I work part time! If i’m chosen to take care of your pet while you are away, I will ensure they get lots of love and attention. Every rule I am given will be followed to a T.
“Lana did an amazing job with my boys. Very caring and attentive. She followed all instructions and I was at ease. Many photos were sent and I was informed of their daily activities.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jarrettown
Emma was absolutely amazing! She stopped by daily to care for our cats and give one of our fur babies her daily pill. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail, so I didn't have to alert the Post Office, and maintain the litter boxes. It was so nice not to have to stress or worry about their care while we were away for the week. I felt completely comfortable giving Emma access to our home. Would definitely book Emma again the next time we go on vacay. Thank you Emma!

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.
