About: I have always had a dog in my family since I was born! I had dog sat for friends and coworkers for as long as a week at a time. I am working full time with a non profit so my hours are pretty flexible. I would take care of pets in the morning before I go to work and they would be my first stop when I head home. I would respect the clients property and their rules and routines! Making sure everything is clean if not cleaner when how I found it! Nothing is better then coming home from a trip to a clean place!
About: I helped care for hundreds of dogs through fostering, vetting and transporting from Texas to Canada for years with a nonprofit organization. I miss seeing a variety of pets! I would love to help take care of your pets when you can’t be there. Caring for pets is my main job so I’m available most days. I do not have a desire to have a large volume of clients on a daily basis. I like to focus attention on the individual clients. Your pets safety is my highest priority. I am extremely safety conscious and take every job seriously. Pets are family. I understand the faith you have placed in me.

“Kendra is so wonderful! She noticed that my cat was out of food and gave him more for me. And my dog really emits her visits too! We’ll be requesting her services again, I highly recommended her if you need any help with your fur babies!! and... She is always right on time”

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs since I was a kid and I now have my own pup that is beyond spoiled. My passion is dogs and helping them in any way, shape, or form! I have knowledge in basic dog training and dogs body languages and what they mean. My motto is to treat every pup as if they are my own! I am employed full time and have a pup of my own at home. I have availability on the weekends to come over and let your pup out and/or play with them! I do work occasional Saturdays meaning I may not be free from 8am-2pm on certain Saturdays. I am available for in home drop ins and walks. I can match you dogs energy level weather that's playing fetch or just laying down and cuddling!
“Michelle did an outstanding job with my cat during my recent out-of-town trip. She was extremely professional and sent great photos of every visit. I highly recommend Michelle and I will definitely be using her to care for my cat during my upcoming trips.”
“Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!”
About: I’ve always grown up around lots of pets, all my friends and family have dogs and cats, I adore them all! I am very comfortable around all animals, and have had many growing up even down to turtles and ducks :) I don’t currently have any of my own due to apartment living, but I do well with active dogs, cuddles from all pets, as well as young pets who need more attention. I currently work retail with working almost no evenings, so I am free for check ins and walks most afternoons and evenings. As for stays and house-sitting, I can make my schedule more flexible, just ask! I cater to each pet as they need, and to keep them as happy and comfortable as possible when caring for them! I follow instructions easily and am confident in crating as needed and knowing when they get antsy and need more activity!
“Anna is absolutely Amazing! She is fantastic with both our furbabies...they get so excited to see her! She is very reliable, dependable, and great at communicating with me!! You would be lucky to have her take care of your furbabies!”
“Kelly was great with my dogs! She was very prompt with her responses and answered all our questions. Our dogs were well cared and super happy. Will definitely have Kelly watch them again!”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm loving animals. I currently have two dogs myself and just love the opportunity to make a pet’s day part of my day. I do work a full time job currently but have plenty of time in the evening to drop in on your pet. Eventually, I’m hoping to make this more of a full time schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to let them out, take them for walks, spend time for snuggles or play and even feed them a meal if necessary.
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my whole life, but in the recent years my passion for training my dogs has increased. I’ve had dogs anywhere from 2 weeks old to 10 years old. I’ve successfully trained my dogs to sit, lay, stay, give paws, walk without leashes, potty train, and many more things. Along with this, recently I’ve began working with other pet owners and their dogs to improve their dogs performance. I’m very excited to get to work with your dogs! We have been blessed with lots of outside space! We have a fenced in backyard so your furry friend can play with others! My wife currently works at home and I have a very flexible schedule so you can count on someone always being available to be with your furry friend! Our mission is to make your pup have a mini vacation while you do! So please let us know any special requests you might have that’ll make your pup happy and keep your mind at ease! We’re all excited to meet you and your special friend! My wife currently works from home so she is home all the time to hangout with your furry friends! And I have tons of flexibility with my work as well! So your furry friends won’t be alone! 😊 We have a lot of outside space for your buddies to run around and have a good time! We are open to your pups roaming around our house if that’s what they do at their home! We’d like to keep a similar routine in our home as you have in yours so you furry friends feel at home!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life and am excited to bring those skills to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 6 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.
“Stacy took really good care of my cat, Lily while I was away! I always hate leaving my cat when I'm away, but it was good to know that someone was taking such good care of her! I got updates everyday and Stacy would stay even longer than I asked her to play with Lily and make sure Lily was happy =)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
We love having Brad take care of our dogs when we are away in the summer. He does everything he is supposed to and more! He checks in regularly, sends pictures, we added a dog this year and he came over to meet them beforehand and find out what would be new. He even changed our smoke alarm battery because our dog was terrified of it beeping! The dogs love him too.
Angela was so sweet with my dog! She came for a meet and greet and I and my dog were immediately comfortable with her. She gave my boy so much love and provided check ins with photos every time. He was so happy and well taken care of while I was away. I’m happy to have found Angela and to know that my pup was in such good hands!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Johnston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Johnston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Johnston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
