About: I used to work for a pet care company called Pet and Home Care. I was a traveling pet care agent for them and I am trained to take care of all kinds of pets. I even took classes through them on what to do if a pet has a medical emergency. I grew up around animals and have a deep love for them and I’m excited to work with your pets :) I’m currently a part time student at FCC and I’m looking for extra work. I have time everyday for visits. I have open availability all day Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday I give fresh water and treats every visit (if treats are allowed). Plenty of pets and attention. I can administer medication and follow special dietary plans. I have a leash belt I use when walking dogs that keeps the dog hooked to me for extra control and ensures they can’t pull the leash out of my hand.
“Per usual, Sara was wonderful and very communicative while dropping in on our 3 cats for a couple of days. We know the house and animals are always in great hands with her!”
“Thank you so much for the drop-ins over the weekend, and for the photos you sent! I know Momo must have been absolutely thrilled to see you again :) Until next time!!”

I am currently have no jobs, which means I will be available to pets sitting anytime! I am definitely would be willing to communicate and any changes if needed. My schedule is flexible, as long, as we communicate what is your expectation with your pets, and I am willing to do what I need to do.

I can take pets go for a walk, or anywhere as long I will be communicating with you.

I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who will treat your pet like family, whether we’re enjoying a fun walk, getting plenty of exercise, or relaxing with extra affection. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make time to provide attentive, loving care, follow each pet’s regular schedule, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am an online student who would love scheduled breaks during the day to walk and enjoy the company of a furry friend. I provide attentive, loving care, follow your instructions carefully, maintain their regular routine, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it.
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of countless pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I love animals and I would love to love your animal too! I am currently working part-time remote before starting school in January. I am available any time of day to take care of your pet needs. I am a very organized, meticulous person who will complete the needs for your dog. I am able to administer medication and I follow directions carefully. Very proficient in walking, picking up poops, and lots of snuggles. Most importantly, your dogs' safety is my top priority.
About: Howdy! I'm Nicole, a certified professional dog trainer and lifelong dog enthusiast. My world has always been filled with canines and a love for understanding behavior. This fueled my passion for learning about dog training, and obtaining a degree in Psychology. With 10+ years of professional experience, you can rest assured that when your pup is with me — it’s receiving the best care available. I have thousands of hours under my belt from volunteering at shelters with dogs since the 6th grade, graduating from a Canine Behavior Apprentice Program, earning my CPDT-KA, and specializing as a Master in Aggression. This has allowed me to become highly skilled with handling a variety of breeds and behaviors; from leash-reactive walkers to cuddly couch potatoes. I’m a fan of them all ♥️ I'm not just a trainer; I'm also a dedicated caregiver. I’m trained in Red Cross Pet First Aid, and my own dog has glaucoma. I've cared for deaf dogs, and dogs recovering after leg injuries. This taught me the ins and outs of special care. So administering meds or eye drops? No problem! Your furry family member's time with me means fun, safety, and lots of learning. Whether it's reinforcing good habits or just enjoying playtime, I've got it covered. Let's make your dog's next walk - or drop-in visit, a tail-wagging adventure! I’ll be walking dogs in between my hours as the assistant manager of America’s VetDogs Service Dog Prison Puppy Program. I love walking and am happy to help others get their dogs out and exercised. Safety is a top priority for me. I always make sure that I am present, and focused on the current moment, to ensure that a dog is safe in my hands. As well as double checking gear to make sure everything is secure before use. Due to my experience with aggressive dogs, I understand the importance of situational awareness with any pet — and keep an eye to make sure the environment we’re walking in is safe as well.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.
About: I have experience with most dogs. I have helped out a few friends with their dogs when needed. Also had a dog as a pet myself. Pet care can fit into my daily schedule as followed. Monday through Friday after 3 pm or Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I am very flexible I have Guinea Pigs, Fish and a cat as pets at my home. I take care of all these animals daily. I also had a dog as a pet before.
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”
“Asia was amazing! She was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates throughout their time together. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“She did an excellent job. Our dog (Remy) loved her, and when we left he didn't even understand fetch really but when we got back he was happy to play fetch with us. If you want quality care Aaliyah is a good pick! We're really grateful she came through for us!”
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linganore-Bartonsville
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
