About: I moved to the area with my little shadow, Winnifred, from Spokane, where I lived on a large ranch working with cattle, horses, pigs, alpacas, working dogs, sheep and all kinds of other interesting critters! I have an abundance of animal experience, especially with large dogs, as I have owned and worked with bloodhounds. I have experience administering medicine, tending to injuries, and handling difficult animals with positive reinforcement. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs, cats, large and exotic animals! My pomchi Winnie is a great girl to have around if you need some socializing experience for your pup! She is sweet and friendly and loves to go on any adventure plus is up to date on all her shots! I am available most days for walks and check-in services from 7am to 9pm! Short notice is usually fine as well and I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed. I have several animals, including an aquarium and snake, which take careful monitoring to provide the correct environment. I take that same care into how I look after all my animals. I worked at a vet for several years and am aware of signs of sickness, anxiety, and joy.
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”

My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.

When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.

“Tatiana was amazing and went above and beyond caring for our two cats, especially one who demands a lot of attention. She was communicative and left the house cleaner than we left it. I could tell she truly cared about our kitties which was helpful for a first time Rover user like me!”
“Valerie was terrific. She took great care of our cat and had lots of ideas to make our cat more comfortable while we were away. she is reliable , responsible, detail-oriented and most importantly, she has a way with animals. Although my cat hates when I travel, she was more relaxed upon my return than she had been after other trips. I attribute that to Valerie’s sensitive care.”
“KELLY WAS PHENOMENAL !! She was so attentive and within minutes of meeting her I trusted her. I loved alllll the photos and videos she shared throughout her stay. Pretty sure my dog already misses her. she’s gonna be my go-to gal from now on.”

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely caring—not only with my dog but with me as well. I truly feel like I found the right person to look after my dog whenever I travel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and exceptionally sweet.
Amanda was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was there on time and stayed for the full duration of each booking. We loved the different updates and pictures she sent with each visit, she was there to spend time with him. We could tell our cat warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company, which put us at ease during vacation. Will definitely be booking her again.
I recently had the pleasure of having Audrey as our pet sitter for our two dogs, Sparta and Colt, and I can't recommend her enough! From the very start, Audrey's professionalism shone through in her communication. She was always prompt and thorough in her responses, making us feel at ease about leaving our pets in her care. During the pet sitting, Audrey took exceptional care of our home and, more importantly, our dogs. Knowing that both Sparta and Colt experience separation anxiety, she went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Audrey kept us updated regularly, sharing photos and messages that allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We felt completely confident that our dogs were in the best hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Audrey.
We felt great having Ava look after our 2 dogs while we were away from home for a week. She was great to communicate with (fast and friendly!) and followed all the instructions we left for her. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Ava again or to recommend her to anyone looking for drop-in visits.
Michael did an amazing job walking our German Shepherd, Targa, who’s very energetic and tends to overreact. He handled him with great control, responsibility, and professionalism, while showing genuine care. Targa had a great time, and I felt completely at ease knowing my boy was in the best 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 Lafayette 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
