About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for a long time now, including dogs and cats. I grew up with almost any type of animal you can imagine, from little reptiles, to horses, with many in between. I currently have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, and many chickens. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs and routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on their normal schedule, always have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I can follow any specific instructions regarding routines, medications, training, or special needs.

About: Growing up, I had 4 dogs and a cat, seperated between households. More recently, I've been much more cat oriented since my partner is a lover of cats. I try to stay up to date on training research, and I'm big on communication! Your pet is your family member, and I want to know how to treat them best! I'm a freelancer so my schedule is always changing! I travel a lot both locally and further so making stops and changes in my plans are normal for me! I like to know exactly how you want your pet treated so expect lots of questions so I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy while their best friend (you) is away!
“Lindsey was great! Our meet and great went well and i felt right away that she was perfect. She has the experience and background that made me comfortable. Lindsey followed all of my crazy long notes and specifications. She did everything we asked and how we wanted it. I was able to be at work and not have to worry about the care my (fur)kids were receiving, I received good updates and detailed post visit notes. We are very cautious on who we let in our home and with our dogs. But I am extremely happy and confident with Linsey. We already booked her for our next two visits.”

“Skylar lets my dog out at lunchtime 3 days a week and he enjoys her visits. She was helpful when a bandage came off a minor injury that my dog had. Overall she has been reliable and responsive.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, and I absolutely love giving pets unforgettable experiences while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for. I am very active and love taking walks with all dogs. After losing my own dog years ago, pet sitting has become a meaningful way to fill that void and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working full-time in a school from 8-3pm. During the week I am available after 3pm for drop in visits and/or walks. On weekends I am available for drop ins and/or walks morning, afternoon and evenings. During the summer I am a nanny, however have a flexible schedule to let pets out throughout the day! I live in a safe apartment complex with a fenced in area for dogs and well as several walking trails to take your pets on long walks.
“Hannah was great with our two dogs. It was clear from the beginning that she truly loved our dogs, and she was very responsible and conscientious. Highly recommend Hannah.”

“Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!”

About: I am recently relocating to Avon, NY and am excited to take your pupper for a walk around town and get to know the area! Happy to do a home visit and play with fur babies of all ages! I work swing schedule caring for my grandma so I will have plenty of time to come help get some energy out or provide cuddles and ear scratches. I promise to treat your baby just as if it were my own! We have a cat and a dog and yes they sleep in the bed lol

“Kathryn is a very nice sitter! She follows the instructions carefully and being really nice to my cats. She will contact me in time or asking for more she could help. Most importantly, she has the cutest window stickers!”

About: Hello! I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of dogs and cats and your basic farm animals. I have trained and taken care of all different types of breeds. I have had English bulldogs to labs to Dobermans. I have gone to dog training classes and have experience with puppies and older dogs. My senior English bulldog passed away and I am not in a position to have a puppy full time. So I would love some animals around the house to keep my company! The days I’m available are when I’m off work and spend most my time at home on these days. Therefore I can fully take care of them, play with them and train if needed. Well in my home I have a fenced in back yard, but I would still watch and hang out with them if that’s where they wanted to be. I would take the animals on walks as directed by the owner. I live in a very safe area with families and it’s a fun neighborhood to walk around in. At both the owners and my home I would make sure the dogs always have water unless otherwise directed- this is very important especially in hot climates like CA.
“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”


About: I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am a vet student at Long Island University home for the summer looking for pet sitting opportunities. I have 5 years experience in a vet/ kennel setting. Given this, I am comfortable with pets of all needs. Currently working part time but I can be flexible and work around when you need me. I love to be active or just chill on the couch, whatever fits best with your pets typical lifestyle. I have many years of professional experience dealing with a wide range of pets. Pet safety is my number one priority. My first step as your pets new sitter will be to develop a safety plan so that you can have piece of mind.
“Sharon was punctual, friendly, professional and had excellent communication. Our older dog's medicinal routine can be confusing and she did great. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking Sharon again.”

“Our cats were so happy with Kate! She is a thoughtful, considerate, and kind pet sitter, which shows in her daily check-ins. We're beyond thankful and delighted with the care she provided.”

About: I grew up with big dogs and I love them! I have walked, fed, bathed, and babysat family and friends pets for the past few years. I love walking outdoors with pets because we can both enjoy the sunshine! I typically would house sit/dog watch for my family and friends whenever I am break for school. I can work any day of the week as I am on break from college. I always have my phone on me and will do my best to keep constant communication with you! If you have any questions please reach out to me I would prefer to care for your pet in your home as my dog is not friendly with others. I will make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise either by going on walks or playing together in the yard. I will feed them and make sure they are happy!
“Sara has helped us twice now and she is SOOOOOOOO good with our dogs! She comes on time, is very reliable and spends quality time with them, walking, exercising and of course caring for them! They really love to see her each day and we couldn’t be happier with her services. Thanks so much Sara! Liz K”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
About: Megan- lover of all things with a beating heart; avid nature enthusiast. Have cared for pets personally and privately since I was 10. Clients relied on me for potty breaks and basic daily care. I have cat-sit as well as horse-sit. Making sure the pets are happy at all times and being engaged in their surroundings is a goal for me. Have trained several of my own dogs - I have 3 - and several dogs in the family & friends. I understand levels of obedience and train ability differ from animal to animal and have the patience to work among your animals needs. Have worked at doggie daycare and a dog kennel extensively in my career. Have administered plenty of dog medications. Bryanna - kind hearted, nurturing individual. Have been enjoying the company of my dogs and others’ pets since about 2010. Have dog-sat & cared for some wild pets, even chickens and snakes! Brought a tiny blind kitten back to life. Had roughly 2 years of basic grooming experience. Nail trimming/dremel, ear cleaning, brushing, bathing. Went on to work at a dog kennel, relocated to Buffalo, and worked at another dog kennel (the same one as Megan!) and learned even more about body language and behavior. Looking forward to meeting the sweet pets! We usually take our 3 dogs out for socialization purposes at least twice a day including walking, playing, training, public stimulation. We have a very open schedule and can almost always assist whenever a client needs. We live closely to multiple public parks, Lake Ontario, Canalside, etc. Our 3 dogs enjoy everywhere we have taken them and we hope that your pets will enjoy these places too. We do offer pet sitting at your home, we would request that we have a way to enter the home and if any products are specific to YOUR PET that they are provided for our use. (Example prescription food, medications, enrichment toys) The house sitting details will be thoroughly worked through with the homeowner beforehand.
“We’ve booked with Kayligh several times for our cat who needs insulin shots and is very human social. He usually gets very lonely without some company. It’s such a difference with him when she comes while we are gone. Highly recommend her!”

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 Lima 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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
To find sitters in Lima with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
