About: I love dogs so I am always happy to puppy-sit. I have my own dogs that i've had since they were puppies and have watched my friends and families dogs for years. I work from home which allows me the flexibility to be present and actively supervising your pup at all times during care. You can also contact me 24/7 if you want any additional updates/photos. I have a fenced yard that your pup is free to roam always under supervision. I have two small dogs (<25lbs) that can keep your puppy company. If your puppy does better alone I can always accommodate that as well and keep them separate. Whatever makes your puppy feel happy and safe at home will be followed here! There are no children and two additional adults in the home that are also dog lovers.
About: 🐾 Around here, the paw-ty never stops! Zoomies, belly rubs, fetch, cuddle time, & snack breaks, your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Don’t forget to CHECK OUT MY GALLERY to see some of my adorable furry friends! I can’t wait to meet your VIP (Very Important Pet)! 🩷 I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!
About: I have experience with cats and dogs. Young and old. I can administer medication if needed. They will have all the love and attention they will need. Everything will be followed per your instructions. I am self employed so I have a very flexiable schedule to drop in whenever. I will always update my schedule and if you happen to see that I'm unavailable but you need me send me a message and we will see if we can work something out. Wether you need your dog walked, fed or played with I have you covered day or night. Same goes with your cats. I will play with them as if they were my own. And dont worry about the litter box I got it. Your instructions for your pet will always be followed. I will go above and beyond for your fur baby. They will have all the love, excerise, and play time they or you require that they have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
