I’m so thankful to have found someone I can truly trust with his care, and I will always use Maylin whenever I need a pet sitter. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and adopted my own pup during Covid—the best decision I ever made! I love spending time with animals and regularly care for family and friends’ pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate most schedules. Whether it’s early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m always flexible and reliable to meet your pet’s needs. I successfully trained my own dog and am very comfortable caring for pets at all stages, including those who use crates, are still potty training, or need extra patience and consistency. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will provide kind, attentive care tailored to their routine.
About: Lover of all things living I care for animals big and small. Having 10+ years experience with dog training, dog shows, and growing up in the 4H club I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to animals. I’ve had goats, a pony, dogs, cats, frogs, snakes (currently one snake, a ball python. I grew up fostering dogs and in the rescue community, I treat any baby like my own. I currently work weekend mornings only so I have all week and evenings to care for and play with your pets! Most of my mornings are spent outside with my dogs anyways! I can do feedings, water changes, taking your dog out on a walk or just out to the yard. If your dog needs someone strong to play with I love tug of war with big dogs. If your pet needs someone quiet and calm I can bring a soothing presence. Exotic animals I monitor heat lamps, food, activity, change water and clean bedding
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs (big and small) and cats since I was 14. They rely on me to pet, walk, and feed their animals. Having a dog of my own prepares me to be a loving and responsible sitter. I have been around dogs and other animals (fish, gerbils, cats, snakes!) since I was little and I’m comfortable with and loving to all. I will follow any special instructions provided such as medications, crating, walking and playing, feeding and walking schedule, etc. I work from home on my own time so your pet is my priority! I am available most days and times so I’m very flexible. I’d love to visit and spend time with your pets to provide care! I can let your dog out, walk on leash, play in yard, etc. depending on your pets needs and your wants. I have experience with mainly golden retrievers and a small poodle mix of my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve been asked by friends and family to dog sit many times, and have helped care for anxious dogs, as well as basic needs such as food and walks. I can also help with basic puppy training! I am available in the evenings M-F after 5pm, and on most weekends to stop in for visits or to stay overnight with your pet if needed! Right now, I have two cats in my home, but have access to a big yard and nearby parks for walking dogs and letting them play.

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
