“Gretchen was truly amazing. This was our first time using a dog sitter and she was such a comfort! Boomer was very well taken care of while we were gone and we will definitely be rebooking Gretchen anytime we travel!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and my family brought home our first dog. Now, I’m a pet parent to an extremely fluffy and needy great pyr as well as an equally needy and chatty siamese cat. I am no stranger to a dog brush, vacuum, or giving medication to the most unwilling canine clients. I am a full time middle school band director, so this is something I am interested in making part of my free time and hobbies! I am extremely organized with time management, so I can fit most things into my schedule with appropriate notice. I have a fenced in yard, cat litter box, and impact dog crate (great pyr sized), so I can accommodate different needs! My pets live on the couch during the day watching the news, so yours can too!
“Ashley was great with our pets. She sent pictures all the time and kept me updated with how they were doing. She gave insulin shots to my diabetic dog and was consistent with the times she came. It’s hard to find someone that can give insulin shots, so I’m very glad to have found her.”
“Timothy was the BEST cat sitter ever! We loved getting daily pictures and updates, and had so much peace of mind knowing our kitties were in good hands and getting love and attention while we were gone. Will definitely be requesting his services again! :)”
“Bianca did a great job watching my dog again. I am so grateful for her feeding my dog while I am away. Great communication everyday along with pics. I would highly recommend. Thank you Bianca.”
“Ruth, thank you so much for caring for Coffee and Bean whilst we were out of the country. I loved seeing the photos and it was so reassuring to know you were there twice a day to give them some love!”
“Kellie was so great with Milo! She came to meet him ahead of time and get a clear understanding of his needs. She was very reliable, communicated effectively, and shared such cute pictures!”
About: If you are looking for someone who is 100% reliable, follows instructions, attentive to details, matches your pet's energy, and prioritizes your pet's health and safety, book me! I am a life-long animal lover and have owned and cared for a variety of species including dogs, cats, small mammals, many species of reptiles, chickens, cattle, and horses. I have a solid history of providing dependable house-sitting, farm-sitting, and pet care services for multiple individuals in my church and community. I've got the references to prove it. My dog is an elderly basenji mix named Demelza. She has had a remarkable recovery from an IVDD-triggering accident that caused her temporary loss of mobility of her hind end. Through that experience and the veterinary professionals who helped her, I learned how to care for a disabled dog and know what to watch for in dogs at risk. I also have a bearded dragon, a uromastyx, and a kingsnake. With the recent passing of my heart horse Fritz, I have plenty of time and love to give to other people's animals. Schedule me for one-time or recurring pet care or dog walking! Mondays: Available 6am-2pm and 9pm-10pm Tuesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 6:30pm-10pm Wednesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:30pm-10pm Thursdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:15pm-10pm Fridays: Available 12pm-10pm Saturdays: Available all day Sundays: Available 6am-10am and 2pm-10pm I cannot accommodate your pets in my home as my personal dog is a senior rescue who tends to be anxious and aggressive toward other dogs.
“Kenya was very sweet with our dogs and they took to her right away. She was willing to drive out to our place to help. When we had a miscommunication, she was very responsive and took great care of the dogs. Thank you!”
About: I’m a pet portrait artist and proud dog mom to two German Shepherds. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. As a pet sitter, I’ll send you photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I also love sketching the pets I meet, so if you choose me, I may create a little sketch of your pet as a fun extra! 🎨🐾 If you’re comfortable with it, I’d also love to share their photos or sketches on my art Instagram. Of course, I’ll always ask for your permission first. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. ❤️ I have a consistent routine and can provide dog walks and drop-in visits during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care based on their routine. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, and any special needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and that pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. For walks, I always use the owner’s preferred leash and equipment and pay close attention to my surroundings. I’m also a dog owner myself with two German Shepherds, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home.
About: My husband and I have cared for and kept dogs our whole lives. I’m hoping to care for more through drop-in checks and dog walking. My dogs love to get out and walk/run. I have a natural behavior with new animals I meet. Really helps with dropping in to take your pup out while keeping them calm. My schedule is wide open on weekdays currently. I can also do weekends with notice before hand. I’ve been in a pinch before with my dogs and can adjust to keep you in the clear with yours. Our dogs are family. Enough said. They are cared for beyond measure. They’re privileges are greater than our human guests. The 2 dogs are provided with a safe dog friendly environment for a stress free day for us and them.
About: Back in 2023 I got my first job at 16 years old at Pet Suites as a “pet pro” which is a doggy daycare (and cats too) where you can drop your dogs off for the day while you’re at work or board them there while you’re on vacation. I also have done dog sitting outside of that job too, where I would go and take care of families dogs while they were on vacation and stay with the pets at their houses. I also was an active member of the FFA all throughout my high school years where I would raise pigs and show them at different shows. I just completed school and I’m about to go into subbing part-time at a middle school so my schedule is pretty open at the moment! I usually have a good consultation with the pet owners before dog sitting for them where I find out what they’re feeding schedule looks like and other information that would be necessary for me to know and on top of that I usually have them leave me with a list either virtually over the phone or physically on a piece of paper with all the information that I would need.
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a dog in my life. They just bring joy to my life. This is my first time doing the Rover service but I have over 40 years of experience in owning and caring for dogs. I work full-time and travel a lot. So I look forward to weekends to spend time with my wife and dogs. I would love to add your loved one to my weekend routine. I have three dachshunds at home right now. We enjoy spending time together and loving on each other. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. While at your house I will spend time playing with your pet and meeting their daily needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
Karissa and her helper were absolutely amazing! They were so loving and attentive with all of my animals, and talking with them honestly felt like talking with friends. I reached out pretty last minute, and Karissa never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was genuinely excited to finally find someone I feel like I can trust with both my home and my animals. Karissa is amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy. I will absolutely be using her again!

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 Lavon 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.

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.
