About: I’ve grown up for over 20+ years having dogs in my life. I currently have 2, and the level of compassion I have for them is I treat dogs with care like humans, and they are more than just pet. I have a special skill and ability to quickly connect with dogs and develop relationships with them. I am flexible schedule wise, I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I am open to drop in visits, boarding, and/or just for a routine walk. I have a private fenced backyard, and 2 super friendly dogs who are playful. My neighborhood is safe and the dogs are having the best time of their life under my care.
About: About Me: Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether I’m giving belly rubs, taking energetic walks, or just keeping a nervous pet company, providing a safe, loving environment is my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. My Experience: * Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals of all sizes and temperaments. * Comfortable with administering oral medications, following strict feeding schedules, and handling high-energy play. * Dedicated to keeping your home tidy, secure, and respected while you're away. What to Expect: * Frequent updates, including adorable photos and videos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. * Customized care tailored to your pet’s routine, favorite games, and comfort needs. * A clean, welcoming space when you return home—because the best vacation ending is coming home to a happy pet and a spotless house and a calm pet! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! My schedule is wonderfully flexible and centered around your pets' needs. Whether I am house sitting full-time or dropping in for visits, your animals will always be my top priority. I plan my day around their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and I generally avoid being away from the home for extended periods so your pets always feel secure and accompanied. I am currently working full-time in a remote capacity so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Your home and pets' safety are treated with the utmost respect. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked, monitor outdoor environments closely, and keep toxic foods or hazards completely out of reach. I also treat your home with care—leaving spaces clean, respecting household rules, and making sure you come home to a peaceful, spotless environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes every since I was a kid. I have always had a pet dog, and have watched and cared for family and friends dogs while they were at work, on vacation, or just needed an extra hand. I also care for cats, as I have my own and have cared for friends cats when needed. I currently work full time. I will be able to walk/check in on pets during the lunch hours, as well as after work. I am always free on the weekends, all day. I am respectful of others and their homes/property. My priority is making sure your pet is safe, happy and cared for, and your home is exactly the way you left it!
About: Some people say I’m obsessed with my dog and I would have to agree! I love all animals, dogs especially. I’ve had dogs my entire life and they have never been considered our pets they are apart of our family. Because dogs have been such a big part of my life, I have helped out running a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I have fostered multiple dogs and I grew up with 6 dogs! While I’m watching your pets I will treat and care for them the same way I would my own, with lots of love and attention. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and with various personalities and temperaments. Separation anxiety, food aggression, possessiveness, jealously, you name it! I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets as I am working from home and have lots of free time. My schedule revolves around the dogs I’m watching. Depending on age and physical ability a typical day would look like: Typically I wake up around 7am and take your pets for a walk! After our walk we have breakfast (he’ll usually rest until 11:30/12) at that point we will go for another walk or play session for about an hour on my lunch break, after I am finished with work around 2:30/3 we go for a hike or to the dog park (depending on the dog), then we have dinner and get ready for bed! I give each and every animals the love and attention they deserve! If I am watching your pet you can be assured that they are getting the love and exercise they need. They will be spoiled with walks, hikes, play time, treats, and mentally stimulating toys such as kongs and lick mats!
About: I am loving, honest, and willing to go above and beyond for your animal. I can take care of medication needs, training, potty training, and more. I have CPR training and can provide comfort for the anxious friends too! I am disabled, but have 100% commitment and free time to help your fur baby out. My schedule is open and readily available. I can also provide last minute services. I treat every animal with respect and love, mine or not. They deserve the best care regardless of breed, size, or condition. Each animal gets the same one on one care.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lima choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 .
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
