About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!
“Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with Rambo so far! 🐾❤️ She is very kind, dependable, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She always keeps us updated during her visits, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away at work. Rambo seems very comfortable with her, and knowing he gets some extra love, attention, and company during the day means so much to us. We’re so happy we found Sydney and are looking forward to continuing to have her care for Rambo! Highly recommend her! 🥰🐶”
“We had a wonderful experience! They took such great care of our elderly (and sometimes grumpy!) Chihuahua while we were on vacation. Communication was excellent, and they were so patient and understanding of our dog's unique needs and personality. It was obvious they genuinely love animals, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We're incredibly grateful and would happily book with them again!”
“Lauren is such a delightful person. She is so attentive to my concerns for my elderly dog. She made my time away so much more relaxing. I have already booked her again. If she is available, you will not be sorry for booking Lauren.”
“Amy was such a life saver. I felt so comfortable since my pets were in their own home and she was able to drop in and take care them. Traveling is sometimes stressful and I was able to enjoy my time knowing the pets were safe and well taken care of. The pictures she sent of the pets while taking care of them were the highlight of each day while was away. Thanks, Amy!”
About: Hello! I have owned all sorts of dogs from small bichons to big, old English sheep dogs. I have a fenced back yard, and also live close to a nice walking path. After losing my beloved Rosie after 15 1/2 years, I am ready for an occasional dog fix :) I am a retired teacher. When I am not traveling, I will have time to help with your dog-sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a home that we live primarily on one level. My home is pet-friendly and on a pretty quiet street.
“Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our older cat. She was kind and played with her and even took care of her medicine. She went above and beyond by gathering the mail, watering our flowers and other miscellaneous. We will definitely be asking for Michelle again as we are now her newest repeat customers!”
About: I have had dogs/cats my whole life and love working with them! Experience in walking, pet sitting and check ins on pets. You should be able to step away without stress! Your paws are in good hands. :) I’m currently in my career don’t let that fool you! I am an early riser and a would love to be able to check in or walk your furry friend as early at 4am! Weekends and flexible! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether we're out for a walk or relaxing at home, you'll have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away!
“Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)”
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was 12, when I started volunteering at my local nature center to care for the reptile habitats. Since that first job, I spent much of high school and college pet sitting and owning a variety of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, fish, and birds. I have experience caring for old and young animals, a variety of breeds, and administering medications. Whatever your needs may be, you deserve to have peace of mine while away from home. My pet sitting style is “there is no such thing as too much information!”. Before any visit, I will come meet you and your pet to help your pet recognize me, give us the opportunity to get to know each other, and discuss any details pertinent to your request. Throughout the visit, you can anticipate a plethora of pictures and videos of your pet, detailed updates on how your pet is doing, how their appetite is, how their bathroom habits are, and anything cute they've done in the stay! Reach out to me for your pet sitting needs, and enjoy security that your pet is in kind, competent, and caring hands. My schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a full-time job where I work from home, which allows me to be available anywhere I can bring my laptop and connect to wifi! Whether your needs are for day time visits, evening visits, overnight stays, or a combination of days and times, I am incredibly flexible to be where you need me when you need me. I will always treat your pets as though they are my own. I am committed to giving your pet the same standard of care that you would give them yourself. If there is a special request you have for your pet then by all means, ask! I understand firsthand how important those special routines are to our pets. If your dog needs someone to lay on the floor next to them while they eat, then I will make sure I am not wearing white so I can get down there.
About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

Angela did a great job of taking care of our senior cat. She also went above and beyond by taking care of little things for us like watering the flowers and gathering mail. She kept us up to date by giving us daily pictures and feedback. We will definitely recommend Angela to anyone and be a repeat customer.
We loved working with Katie! She was so dependable, good at communicating with us and took great care of our 3 cats every day so that we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Katie for others who want peace of mind that their pets are being well cared for!
David did an amazing job communicating prior to, and during our time away that he watched our dogs. The dogs had a great time with him and really seemed to take a liking to him quickly! Will absolutely use David in the future and highly recommend him if you need someone you can trust with your animals!
I just utilized Michelle for a long weekend for my Lab for x3 visits per day. She is full of great energy! When we came home my lab was happy and acted like we’d been gone for a few hours instead of days! Michelle made the separation during a trip enjoyable for everyone. I will definetly look her up for future walks and drop in visits

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 Lakeville 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.

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.
