“I was very fortunate to find Leaha after a foot fracture left me unable to provide my dog the outdoor time and attention she needed. She provides a 1/2 hr visit during which she takes my dog outside to play and explore. Leaha has been absolutely wonderful, great with communication, flexible with scheduling, and so sweet and patient with my Doodle, who absolutely loves her.”
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.
“We’ve used Mikayla before and were happy to book her again for drop-in visits — and she did a wonderful job, once again. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with our dogs. Mikayla is easy to work with and consistently follows instructions, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“I appreciate Brittany checking on Luca and Zoe while I was out of town. Brittany was great at communicating with me about her visits and how the kittens were doing. I will definitely hire her again.”
“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER. They spent so much time with ours dogs and we had a worry-free vacation knowing they were in such good hands. They also did great with our highly anxious cavalier and our very big Bernese mountain dog. Highly recommend and will be using them for all future dog sitting!!!”
“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”
“This was first time I have used this app and it was amazing! Elena was so great to work with and made me feel so confident my pets were in good hands. She was a great communicator and send me lots of pictures. I highly recommended her. 🥰”
About: I’m a 28-year old work-from-home professional who loves taking care of and spending time with dogs! I’ve grown up with dogs for 20 years and have experience watching dogs for 6+ years. I have a spacious 1,500 sq ft house with a designated mudroom to board your pet, along with a 0.28 acre backyard for playing around and stretching their legs. While most of my experience is with medium-sized dogs, I enjoy taking care of all dog sizes and breeds. Additionally, I have experience with administering daily medication and eye drops with dogs and am happy to do the same if your pet requires some extra care. I look forward to meeting you, your animal and making them feel comfortable at their home away from home!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and was fortunate to grow up learning from my father, an experienced police K-9 trainer and handler. That lifelong experience gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and the confidence to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I have experience with crate training, potty training, leash training, introducing dogs to children and other animals, and managing food and toy resource guarding. My goal is to provide every dog with a safe, structured, and loving environment where they feel right at home. I offer in-home boarding for up to three (occasionally four) dogs at a time, allowing me to provide personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because I’m home throughout the day, puppies benefit from frequent potty breaks and routine reinforcement, while senior dogs receive the extra patience and care they deserve. I also offer drop-in visits for all types of pets and flexible pick-up and drop-off services for an additional $30 each way. For boarding stays longer than three days, I may request a four-hour daycare trial to help ensure we’re a great fit. Proof of current vaccinations is required for all boarding guests. Every day is designed to be calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet’s needs. We spend time playing, enjoying supervised outdoor time, and incorporating enrichment throughout the day while balancing exercise with plenty of rest. I do my best to maintain your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. We live on a fully fenced one-acre property where dogs have plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Because our yard is surrounded by trees and natural foliage, I require boarding dogs to be on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventative. Whether your pet is boarding or I’m visiting them in your home, I’ll care for them as if they were my own by following their routine, respecting their individual personality, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort level. I also believe it’s important to teach my children to respect animals and their boundaries. Together, we’ve created a calm, gentle home where pets are treated with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”
“We want to express our gratitude for the excellent care Becky provided. It was comforting to know that both our cats, one shy and one picky, warmed up to her quickly. The peace of mind knowing our pets were happy is truly invaluable. We can confidently recommend her services, as we don't have to worry about them while we are away. We appreciate the care she provided.”
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.
“Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.”
“Lauren came and meet my dog Sammy before went great she is a great listener. Kept me informed of visit details and pictures of her visit. Looking forward to her help in the future as I start to need it more.”
“Mia was great! She sent pictures every day, and helped us and our 2 cats and parakeet feel more comfortable during our time away over the holidays. She even re-potted a plant that one of the cats got into. Excellent! Would 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 Linden 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.
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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Linden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
