About: I have been walking dogs for five years and have loved every minute of it! This is more than just a job for me I am committed to providing the best experience possible to your pup! I am familiar administering meds and leash training. Whatever your dogs needs, whether it be running, walking, or just a cuddle and a quick visit outside I will show up with enthusiasm and a smile! Pet care is my only job, I work five days a week and am available 9-4, during those hours I am completely available for pet care unless I have an unavoidable appointment or ilness I ask my clients the boundaries at first meeting, where they are comfortable with me being in the house, any areas they would rather I not enter and adhere to what makes them most secure. On walks I stay in the doorway whenever possible, I try to be seen and not heard unless approached for conversation.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.
“I’m very appreciative of Alexis being able to come by on a holiday and make sure my Luna was taken care of while I was out of Town! She is someone I’m absolutely comfortable leaving my dog with. I know my Luna is in great hands with Alexis! Thank you so much!”
About: I have experience in different avenues of pet care. I have dog/house-sat periodically since I was 18. I also have experience working at a pet grooming salon, so I feel very comfortable with pets of any size. I am also confident with providing medical care, such as pills, shots, etc! I currently work part-time, and have a lot of free time in my schedule to be able to stay with/take care of pets! I am also a full time student, but currently am enrolled fully online. I currently am only able to stay at client’s homes, because I have 5 crazy pets of my own at my house. I make an effort to build a connection with not only the pets but also the clients, and follow whatever guidelines they set for me to stay with their furry friends!
About: I am a nurse and have taken care of dogs for about 30 years. Available most days. Any pet in my care will receive attention all day as someone is always home to care for them when boarding with us. I work during the day however there is always someone home to allow for play and potty breaks. Our house is on . Lake so if your dog likes to swim we are hapoy to swim with them😋 I have a GEO yard and collars if your dog likes to run otherwise leashed walks several times a day. Dog toys available. Willing to provide referrences and vet records from our own vet.
About: I am looking to find dog owners with high energy dogs. The huskies, labs, healers etc that need to put in miles every day to stay happy. I can show up for my listed dog walking rate ($10) and can then run anywhere from 2-20 miles with them for an additional $15/mile. Message me if this is something you would be interested in!! I work in outside sales from home 4 days a week, the the other 3 I am on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I have 2 friendly dogs and am very energetic, I run/walk multiple times a day and spend most my time outside. Very patient with dogs and can help leash train.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals! I've had many different types of personalities with all of the animals I've had growing up so I know how to handle many different dogs and cats. I'm not ready to adopt a dog or another cat yet so I would love to be able to spend some time with more animals! I love to be outside and being active, so I would love to take your dog on walks and have plenty of experience doing that. I also have experience with house/pet-sitting and would love to spend time with your dogs and/or cats while you are away. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so that you know they are in good hands!
“His Honda was great!!! She sent pictures every time she visited and our pets looked very happy!! Both our dog & cat were happy & calm when we returned!! Will 100% be asking Yushonda back if she’ll have us! -)”
“10/10 would hire Taylor again to watch our cats. Our cats are normally pretty shy and skittish with new people, but Taylor did a great job interacting with them and making them feel safe. We are really impressed with the care and communication that Taylor provided and she made us feel confident that our fur babies were well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Rachel has a nice disposition and is easy to work with. She was very good with our pets. We had her do drop ins during the day. Rachel was timely and gave updates and pictures. Thank you Rachel for a job well done.”
About: I’ve had the joy of owning cats and dogs for many many years. I have owned several varieties. I have also had the joy of taking care of other peoples pets. I currently work part-time and I can fit pet Care into my daily and or weekly routine with ease. I am available for more hours in the summer. I tend to care for others pets in their home or walking. I do have my own pets and I know it’s not best to introduce unknown animals.
About: I’m new to the area but not new to pet sitting. I had a successful pet sitting business in Savannah, Ga for over 12 years. I have over 30+ years experience with pets from both big to small: dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, parrots, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with all pet stages and I’m comfortable with taking care from puppies to elderly pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom but both kids are now in school and my husband is a disabled veteran so he’s home to take care of them so I am fully available to be free to care for your fur babies. Staying in your home or doing drop ins, I’ll stick to your schedule on feedings and I prefer unless absolutely unavoidable to let the dogs out every 4hrs or so unless the dog prompts the need to go outside. If the dog is elderly or has a bladder issue or potty training I can let them out more frequently. The pet will receive love, affection, and we’ll play (varying on dogs needs or likes). Animals are like people, so understanding their personality and likes helps keep them comfortable and happy. Cat litter unless specified I change/clean daily. If you have houseplants I can water them or open blinds for them to get their necessary light, I will also bring in any packages and your mail if desired.
About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.

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 .
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.
