“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Megan was a lifesaver. Having booked this trip long before finding out a hurricane (Helene) was going to come barreling through while we were gone. Megan took good care of our kitty and our house.”
“Ingrid was kind and patient with our anxious dog. We just moved 3 weeks ago and he has been trying to figure out what is going on. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Cheyenne and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've cared for all sorts of pets over the years including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, turtles, fish, lizards, hamsters, birds, etc. I currently own three dogs, two cats and one bunny rabbit. I am very comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I'll treat your pets like they're my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, snuggles or medication, I'm your girl! I am patient, attentive, caring and trustworthy and my goal is to make sure that your pets are safe, happy and comfortable while you are away. I have a full-time job where I work from 9a-5p in Hernando County. I am available anytime before or after that. Sundays and Mondays, I am completely free and available. I will work your pets into my schedule however I can. Typically, if a drop-in visit is needed Tues-Sat on my workdays, I would do one visit in the early morning and one in the evening. Sundays and Mondays, I can do between 3 and 4 drop-in visits if needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own while also following and respecting the routine set by their parents. Depending on what is requested, I can provide fresh food and water for your pets, walks, snuggles, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm respectful of your pets' space and it's very important to me that they are comfortable. I am also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you're away.

About: What makes me different from other sitters? I train service dogs! This means that I can also provide basic training to your furry friend, along with giving you some tips on training them in your own time. I can bathe, walk, or play with dogs of any size. Most of my pet experience has been before I joined Rover - which is why my reviews are next-to-none, but I can assure that your furry friend will be in safe hands with me as my experience with pet care can speak for itself. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. This helps me ensure that your friend is well taken care of and goes on many walks. I follow directions very well. I am confident in feeding, bathing, walking, and crating your fluffy loved one. I can also make any food needed for your doggo.
“Jessica was so nice to take care of our two kitties - checking in on them twice a day, even making sure they were okay during a Tropical Storm! Great communication! Jessica was so sweet to send us pictures at each visit all the while keeping us updatied not only on the cats but our home! Will definitely have Jessica take care of our fur babies again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Amanda this past weekend for drop-in visits while we were out of town for a night.

Will definitely think of her again if we have to go away!”

About: Hi there! I’m Hunter, and I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong background in animal care, and I’m excited to be offering services here on Rover. I share my home with four dogs and one very spoiled cat, including two Standard Poodles, a Miniature American Shepherd, and a Whippet/Beagle mix—so I’m very comfortable with high-energy, intelligent, and higher-maintenance pets. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from small dogs to giant breeds, as well as horses, livestock, birds, and other exotics. I am licensed and insured as a registered pet care business under the name Your Pet Au Pair, which allows me to provide professional, reliable care while prioritizing safety and accountability. I also have experience working alongside animal rescues and assisting with the care and rehabilitation of animals who need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have been a constant in my life, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured walks, or attentive in-home care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to what works best for them. If you have any questions or would like to see if we’re a good fit, feel free to reach out here on Rover. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery!) family members 🐾 Being at home full-time allows me to commit extensive time to your precious pup(s). Whether they crave perpetual snuggling, prolonged fetch sessions, or lengthy walks, I am equipped to fulfill their requirements. I strongly believe that dogs deserve to be pampered. I can accommodate diverse feeding needs, except for raw feeding. My home provides various indoor and outdoor enrichment opportunities, including agility, automated fetch machines, wading pools, ball pits, snuffle mats, frozen lick mats, puzzle feeders, herding balls, and more. I offer essential provisions like bowls, kennels, and pens in multiple sizes, toys, and treats.
About: I've loved and taken care of all different kinds of animals my whole life! I started at 14 taking care of horses in my 4-H club. I've grown up living with dogs, cats and even a bird or two. After I turned 20, I finally got my very first personal dog. I love her more than life itself! I am currently part time employed and job hunting! I am taking this time to grow as a person and possibly start my own business. I am in college part time for business, but I always make time for the important things in life (loving on my pup) I know what it’s like to need to be away from your baby. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and/or a large, cozy bed for them to snooze. Whatever fits your pup best!

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.

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.

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 .

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.
