About: Hello. My name is Dawn and I was born in Yorkshire in England. I stumbled upon Rover 12 years ago whilst trying to find alternative accommodation for my own puppies and thought what a great idea it was. Having just taken a two year break to go spend time with my family, I am now ready to start up my Rover account again. For now, I am only offering service to house sit in your home whilst you are away. Having had 2 dogs with anxiety who dislike small children, I realised how hard it is to find someone to take care of them as soul clients. They either have multiple guests at once, or they have children. This is my only job so my full attention will be on your pups. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication by mouth. This is my only job so I can provide care 24/7. I stay so you don't have to. Why give up your vacation when I can look after your pets. Your pets will keep their daily routine. No stressful strange environments. There's no place like home. I will be there to look after their every need. Cuddles are free.

“Rosy has been house sitting and walking my dog for a few months now. I can confidently say that Rosy is the best sitter I’ve met on Rover! She is such a wonderful and sweet person who puts a smile on my face when I see her. Caring and patient with my anxious/reactive dog who has a lot of quirks and special needs. I can tell she feels kindness and love for my dog and other pets alike. Rosy will pay close attention to any and all instructions you may leave for her and follow through on them with ease. She has always been accommodating with scheduling and provided clear communication. Added bonus, she’s clean and respectful of my home and never leaves a mess behind when she housesits. Thank you always Rosy!!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Terry. She goes above & beyond always. An example is she graciously agreed to fill the bird feeders & kept them filled during frigid temperatures. We thought maybe once, nope. We arrived home super late & she took care of our dogs last potty break & meds so we were able to come home & go to bed. Our pets are happy & we get awesome pictures. Terry is kind, intelligent, considerate, diligent, funny & truly cares about our pets. Having her has been a game changer when we travel.”

Crystal H.

“Sara is amazing! She made me feel at ease within seconds of meeting her as she was immediately so good with our puppy. You can tell she is a professional & a gifted one at that. She kept us updated with many pictures and status updates. She is also extremely personable. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

“I am thrilled to have found Anna! She watched my puppy for an overnight stay and it was a great experience. Anna ensured she understood and followed all of my directions and checklists! Even though I am an over protective dog mom, Anna never made me feel over the top or like an inconvenience. She sent me photos and always asked questions if she had them! I am so excited I have found Anna and hope she can be my puppy’s primary dog sitter long term!”

“Jess was very friendly, sent us lots of pictures and you can tell she truly cared about our pets. Would recommend!”

“Julia took excellent care of both our pup and our home! Our Frenchie has back issues and Julia was very sensitive to them, and comfortable caring for her despite them. We will definitely book with Julia again!”

About: I have worked multiple professional positions in the animal care field where I have cared for everything from dogs to owls. I grew up with dogs, cats, and exotic pets and have been pet sitting frequently for 14 years. I am looking to enrich my days caring for your furry loved ones! I have a flexible schedule but am hoping for early morning, afternoon, or evening care visits. I am available most weekends and am happy to help with overnights I am comfortable walking your dog either in your neighborhood or bringing them to a nearby trail for an outdoor adventure. I can play with them at home, help them in an out of a crate, and administer medication as needed

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

About: From mini to huge! I have experience with many different breeds and ages from new born pups to elderly dogs that just want company. Teacups to bull mastiffs and great danes. More than one dog is not a problem! While Iam with your family I will assure the best care is taken of your child. I currently work a split shift as a school bus driver so Iam looking to fill in my days and weekends with furry friends. I am available holidays. While I'm with your dog(s) I will assure proper walking equipment is used allowing for the safest and best experience is given. With the owners permission your pup may go for a car ride and explore trails, and new sights. Being aware of all surroundings is an essential part to the outings.

“Thank you Cody for taking care of our crazy GSD and Fanny. Cody was very patient and accommodating with our needs and dog sitting in our place very last minute, we appreciate your flexibility and fun photo updates throughout the day! Highly recommend.”

About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. Once turned adult I was always the go to dog/cat/house sitter. I’m retired LEO and have a lot of time on my hands to share with my pup and yours! I’m currently retired and have no fixed schedule at the moment. My husband is only off Sunday and Monday and would prefer not to work while he’s off but am willing to compromise! I do live in an apartment but have a walking trail just 7 minutes away that my pup loves. Plus the complex is pet and walk friendly.
