“We felt extremely comfortable with Annemarie after we initially met her and knew our pups were going to be in safe hands. We received detailed updates and photos with each drop in! She did a great job and will definitely use her services in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover since I’m usually the one doing the pet sitting, so I was a little nervous leaving my cats with someone new. Caprice was great! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and pitbull, and have house sat for friends and family numerous times! My favorite part of the day is exploring the community with a pet buddy:) I am a full time graduate student with availability in the mornings and on weekends! I am an early bird with a flexible and accommodating schedule I love staying active and understand the importance of comfortability, reliability, and consistency! I have experience with animals who are on the anxious side and am able to meet the needs of each pet
“Ashley is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, she made sure our pups felt at home while we were in town for a wedding. She was an excellent communicator about dog updates and was so easy to work with!”
“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. Experience with: walking reactive dogs, caring for dogs with separation anxiety, basic positive reinforcement training, and comfortable to provide any special dietary needs. Snuggles and play time included! I am available for in home care and walks Saturdays Through Mondays. I am available Sundays and Mondays all day, and Mondays through Saturdays after 3 o’clock pm. I am flexible with instructions, and I am detail oriented. I can be as particular, or as laid back as you’d like! I am proactive and want you and your pet to feel safe and cared for.
“Another wonderful sit with Meira! She’s so great about detailed updates and so many photos and videos. Deedles loves her - even I can’t touch the belly, but Meira is allowed!”
About: I've had animals my whole life! I currently take care of my own 2 senior kitties and know they need special attention. I also had two dogs (puggles) from the same litter for 10 years before sadly losing one to cancer. This experience helped me learn how to care for sibling pets and a pet that is grieving the loss of another. Additionally, in high school, I took many companion animal classes and learned from industry experts how to care for pets. My neighbor was a dog groomer and showed dogs professionally, and I accompanied her at times to help with the dogs. IMPORTANT SCHEDULING NOTE: I am typically available between 5-11pm Monday to Friday, or anytime Saturday and Sunday. I am typically available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Monday-Friday I am available between 5-11pm. I am a very routine person and am known for getting to places early/ on time. No special request is too "weird" to me! I can ensure your pets have free roam of the place or are secured in a crate! I can take dogs outside in a fenced yard or on a leash if there is no fence. I also fully understand pets can be messy and never mind if I have to clean up any accidents (my experience with senior pets and a dog with bladder cancer taught me that).
About: As a pet owner myself, I value honest and reliable care, not only for owners, but the animals themselves. I have experience providing care for a diverse set of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals. I aim to build trust with those for whom I provide care. I am comfortable with administering medication and attending to specific needs. Most importantly, I treat others pets with the same love and attentiveness as I do my own. I work full-time during the week, though I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I work from home. I am available for drop-in visits any day of the week. I work with my clients to meet their needs and go out of my way to do so. When providing care in an owner’s home, I aim to leave pets and the home in a state that the owner would be happy to return to. I respect the boundaries of owners and pets alike so that I can build a relationship of trust, communication, and reliability. I hope to show my dedication to proper pet care through my actions.
“Carse has been wonderful with our baby while we’ve been out of town! She truly shows how much she cares for the animals in her care with her detailed messages and photos after a visit. I always have extra peace of mind knowing she’ll be caring for my kitty.”
“First time using this app!! Latifa was fantastic, I felt at ease knowing that my cats were taken care . I was given daily check ups and pics. I would highly recommend using Rover & LATIFA A.”
“We're home after 2 weeks always & the kitties are doing great. They are So happy and relaxed. Genevieve came and played with them daily, and it did a world of good for their physical and mental health. Her care of animals is deep and we feel at ease knowing she is keeping an eye on them for us.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
Zoe was wonderful with my baby Pluto. She sent me lots of photos and was accommodating to his needs. She was very easy to get in contact with while I was away and treated my dog as her own. I am pretty sure my pup already misses her visits!! Zoe is a great sitter and I recommend booking with her.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Shannon was wonderful with my dogs and treated them with so much care, patience, and love. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. Communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be using them again!

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.

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.
