About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life, of all ages. I have been taking care of other people’s animals for the past 2 years, and it’s honestly been such an amazing experience, seeing how grateful owners are that their babies are taken care of, and seeing how happy the pet is to have someone to play with or cuddle with. Pet care is my job so I have a wide flexible schedule for this! I do daily walks, or daily check ins. I also do sitting where I go over for hours at a time while the owner is away. I have clients who have pets who have never been alone before, and anytime they need to leave the house I’ll go over and sit with them, feed them, walk them if necessary. But it gives them a lot of peace of mind that their baby is not anxious with them gone, and is well taken care of.
“It’s my first time using this app and I was so nervous doing this, but when I saw kristie through my home camera how excited she was with my dog.. omg I literally said “she IS the one” lol, she was soooo friendly with freya. And she sent me a lot of text messages with updates about freya, I would recommend kristie with my eyes closed. Freya so loves heer lol”
“Chelsea is such an amazing pet sitter! She is punctual, friendly and gives great daily reports. Our cat absolutely loves her and it’s such a peace of mind to know he gets such great care and attention while we’re away. Thank you so much for taking care of Leo, Chelsea! Our family appreciates you so much!”
“Elena has been great with Dex. She communicates well, sends updates, and makes sure he gets lots of love. She gives me peace of mind to know Dexter is safe and cared for. I’ve always come home to a happy pup.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I wanted to be a vet growing up but I couldn't do it because of the sadness of them being sick, so I settled on being a teacher instead. I have consistently had dogs for the last 10 years. My oldest dog has been through 3 training classes and has his good citizens certificate. I currently have 4 dogs and each of them were puppies when I adopted them. I have animal sat for many friends and family throughout the last 15 years. I am a teacher and my daily schedule is 8:30-4:15. I would be able to care for your animal before school and after school and any time later at night. During the summer and any break from the Polk County Schools calendar I am available all day long. I have 4 dogs already, so I am more than happy to come and care for your pets in your home. I know my dogs are more comfortable to be in their own home than a new environment. I will speak with you beforehand and find out what makes your animals most comfortable while you are gone (e.g. music on, tv on, special toys, lights left on or off) I also have no problem bringing in your mail, trash cans, or watering your plants while you are gone. I will send pictures so you know your animals are happy and well while you are gone. I will care for your animals as if they were my own!
“Bradley was very patient with our dog and with me. I was very nervous because we never had to use a dog walker before. I sent him frequent text messages and he was always very understanding.”
“We used Stephanie twice now to take care of our fur baby Brandi. She always arrived on time which is very important to us. She played with her and attended to her feedings and litter cleaning with perfection. she is kind and caring with animals and we will continue to use her again and again with no hesitation. if you want a reliable , kind and caring animal loving person to take of your fur babies Stephanie is your person!!”
About: Animals have always been more than a hobby to me—they're my career and my passion. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked professionally as both a zookeeper and veterinary technician. I'm currently earning my Bachelor's degree in Animal Health & Behavior, giving me an even deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and welfare. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an adventurous walk, patient care as a senior, medication, or simply someone to make them feel safe while you're away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets! As a full-time online Animal Health & Behavior student, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day instead of rushing between jobs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or overnight care, I'm able to give them the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while treating both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. With my experience as a former zookeeper, veterinary technician, and current Animal Health & Behavior student, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications when needed, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I'll follow your pet's routine closely and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and Alabais, as well as mixed breeds. I currently share my home with two loving pups—Luna, a playful and energetic Husky, and Sol, a gentle Golden Retriever with a heart of gold. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from the high-energy requirements of working dogs to the calm reassurance older dogs might need. Whether it's playtime, long walks, administering medications, or simply offering love and companionship, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each dog. Your fur baby will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment—just like family! I work from Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays off.

About: Hello! I have owned dogs since I was a child. I grew a love for them and dreamed of making dogs a part of my career. I began pet sitting my neighbors pets at the age of 12 and have since then expanded to caring for numerous more. When I went to college, I adopted a dog of my own and since then, gained experience in dog training and first aid. My experience helped me gain a better understanding of dog behavior and safety. I am mostly home full time when I am caring for dogs. We spend the day going on walks, playing, and cuddling. You can feel confident leaving your pet in my care with my many years of experience working with dogs as well as my knowledge of the importance of safety. I am comfortable with and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have experience with administering medication. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to spend majority of the day with your pups. I am home full time so your pup will not be left alone more than an hour or two out of the day. We spend our day with lots of play, walks, and cuddles. Safety is our top priority in our home. We are sure to separate all dogs during feeding and while not supervised. Dogs are always leashed when leaving my apartment.

“Hope was extremely helpful while I was away on vacation. She was very kind, and sent me lots of pictures while I was away, which made me happy. She went above and beyond to care for my two cats, and they seemed really happy and cared for when I got back. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!”

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.
