“We are soo thankful to have met Heidi R, an honest and kind woman who speaks fluent “feline!” 🐱 Heidi is a kind and responsible person, with excellent human communication skills, too. Heidi provided timely updates, and treated our kitty as her own. We highly recommend Heidi and, will definitely request for her if we need in the future. She is truly all that her bio indicates, and very nice as well!! T, A, and M🐱 in Show Low, AZ.”
About: I've had animals my whole life and have been taking care of others' animals professionally for several years. I've worked at an animal shelter so I am well equipped to take care of pets of any temperament! I have worked with a variety of cats and dogs including young puppies/kittens to elderly pets living out their golden years! I'm currently taking online college classes and work as a freelance house/pet sitter leaving plenty of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your pets! I am available Monday through 5pm on Sunday, and holidays. From vigilance around the house to keeping an eye out for dangers during walks, your fuzzy friends are in great hands! I am well versed in what human foods are poison to cats and dogs and avoid walking small dogs at dawn/dusk to avoid owls. I am experienced in administering oral medication and breaking up conflict between animals should the event occur.
“Best animal sitter there is 🙂 I always know my animals are in good hands and being cared for with Alexandra! Excellent communication! On time! Very accommodating for busy schedules! Have used her many times, and will continue to! Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been huge in my life. I worked hard on getting my certification to be a dog trainer. Also becoming accredited to be a dog groomer I’m currently working full time at a small grooming shop in Show Low. My schedule is pretty flexible to help others with their fur babies. I have two cats and two dogs at home. I make it a constant everyday routine to fulfill their needs. Especially with training it needs to be ongoing and always consistent
“Lindsay is so wonderful with our puppy!! He loves seeing her. She is timely, great with communication, and keeps us updated while we are away from him. She has greatly reduced our stress when he is home alone. We are happy we found her and can’t wait for her to keep checking on our boy.”
About: I’ve connected with dogs ever since I got my first retriever when I was four. Since then I’ve been living with four big chocolate labs that are my whole world. I love connecting with all kinds of animals, it’s been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I’ve taken care of 8 weeks old puppies to my senior dog. When my old dog got cancer, I sat with him for hours on end until he got better even though he wasn’t supposed to. I will always take care of a pet to the best of my ability no matter the situation. I’m currently available 5 days a week. I can walk or feed pets anywhere from 6am-10pm! I love to play with high energy dogs, but chilling with an old pup sounds amazing too. I care for pets by understanding their body language and what they are trying to tell me. If there’s a specific feeding schedule I will stick to it, and taken them outside whenever requested.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Lindsay did a great job taking care of our three cats while we were on vacation. She was very responsible and came when she said she would. She also provided feedback and pictures after each visit. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were getting taken care of while we were gone and getting some attention. She was very responsive and nice to work with as well. We would definitely use her again.

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.
