“Ashley was amazing. She came the week before to meet us and the dogs. She confirmed appointments, gave us an update after the visit and sent pics. We love her and will be using her again!”
About: I have worked at animal shelter as the dog room manager for 4 years. Fostered and rehabilitated over a dozen dogs/cats. I love animals and creating meaningful connections with them. I am great at reading dog and cat body language and will always do my best to meet your pet’s personalized needs! I am a teacher who is off for the summer. I am incredibly flexible. During the school year I work part time and have a lot of availability as well. I am dedicated to maintaining the individualized schedule for every pet to ensure their care is as stress free as possible. I understand pets thrive with predictability and I am focused on creating a safe and predictable environment for them.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what the dog needs, whether that’s play, rest, or just quiet company. I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will make sure your pet has an amazing time I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I keep their feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I give them lots of attention so they don’t feel alone. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates and photos.
“Katia is amazing, a cat lover for sure! She goes above and beyond with our needy cat, and even takes notice of our other aquatic pets even tho we didn't ask her to. We are lucky to have you, Thank you so much, Katia!”
“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”
“Ruth is one of the nicest, happiest people that I have ever met. My husband and I felt very comfortable giving her a key to our home for use during our vacation. She was good with our cat, and she followed all of our requests, including to send us daily photos. We are so fortunate to have found her, and we would definitely use her again as our pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!
“Andrea is prompt and is great with our dog. In addition, she took her time at our initial meeting to get to know Copper and asked a variety of questions to garner as much knowledge as she could about him. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a veterinary tech/nurse and have my AVA certification and RECOVER BLS certification. I have 2 dogs of my own as well as 3 cats and many fish/reptiles. I love any and all animals as if they were my own. My friends and family trust me with their animals and I am the first call they make when traveling. Travel and rest assured that your baby/babies will be in the best hands knowing they will get all the love and attention they want and deserve. Medical/special needs? No worries- with 15 years experience and with kind patient care- I am fully confident in my ability to help them feel as comfortable as they are with you. I am an overnight veterinary nurse that works 3 days a week so I have much open availability. If you need someone last min, I can almost promise I am available. I only do in your home visits. I am patient, loving, and kind and will spend as much time getting to know your baby so they are comfortable and feel safe while you are away. Need extra care- no worries I got you covered there
About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left.

“Giana always comes through in a pinch and follows instructions to a tee-i have three dogs with different needs and she was able to attend to all in a timely manner while being sure to go above and beyond and ask questions on where things were to clean messes. Thanks Gianna”
About: I have had a dog in my home since I was born. I was tasked with walking, feeding, and playing with the family dogs as a kid and I always enjoyed seeing their tails wag with joy. I have loved and cared for many dogs some big, some small, some calm and some energetic. I currently live with my 5 year old Sheepadoodle named Nash who is big enough to pay bills and takes up my entire king sized bed. I have had him since he was just a few weeks old and I understand the importance of proper care and attention. I am a shift worker who works longer hours in condensed days. This schedule allows me to have many days off both during the week and weekend to provide your pet with the care he/she deserves. My beautiful girlfriend is also a dog lover who can assist whenever needed. Pets are part of the family. They will have access to a fully fenced in yard, a swim in the pool (if allowed), lots of potty breaks and plenty of fresh food and water. They will have many friends to play with, both human and canine.
“Nina was extremely caring and friendly with my cat Siwon and a pleasure to communicate with as she was professional and prompt with responses. I felt very reassured knowing that she was our cat sitter while we were on vacation for two weeks. Thanks Nina!”
“Amira was very careful to follow all my instructions for her first time taking care of my 2 cats. She was prompt, thorough and kept me informed with notes and photos. She did a very good job”
“Manasi took care of my cat, Kayla while we were on vacation. From our first meeting Manasi showed her caring nature and was very attentive to my fur baby. She sent us photos after each visit and was available for questions. We’re so appreciative for all her help. We will definitely book with Manasi again for our next vacation.”
About: I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all kinds and sizes. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, cuddling them, and bathing them if needed! I'm currently work from home Mondays and Fridays so I can be super flexible those two days. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work in the office so morning and evening hours are preferred but some weeks throughout the summer I can also be flexible as my schedule is a lot lighter. Weekends are also flexible! I'm open to caring for your dog however you would like me to care for them in the environment that they are most comfortable! I enjoy getting exercise so I would be more than happy to walk your dog or play in the yard if you have a fenced in yard.

It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

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.

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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
