About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs and cats. I truly have a love for animals which make the best person to babysit your babies. I specialize in socializing young pups to just comforting pups with separation anxiety. Gone all day and need someone to check on your baby? I’m there! Your baby needs a walk while you’re at work? You can count on me! With working part time, this gives me more flexibility to help you when needed! Mornings, afternoons, and weekends I can help!

About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.
“Stacey took wonderful care of our senior Boxer, Jingles, while we were away on an international trip. From the moment we met her, we knew Jingles would be in caring and capable hands. Jingles is an older dog with some special needs, including frequent potty breaks and a few age-related quirks, and Stacey handled everything with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She kept us updated, gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling, and treated Jingles like she was her own. The biggest compliment I can give is that when we got home, Jingles spent the evening and the next morning walking around the house looking for Stacey. It's obvious they formed a special bond during the week, and that says everything about the love and attention Stacey gave her. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Stacey provided and would not hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend Stacey.”
“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”
“Michael watched our 2 senior dogs for a week in our home. He gave them their daily meds and while we were initially reluctant to leave them, Michael quickly alleviated any concerns with daily updates and pics. He took great care of our pups and our home. We would definitely recommend him and have him back the next time we need a sitter.”

“Christie accommodated our last minute request to care for our precious Stella. She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy ourselves.

About: Humble greetings. My experice with animal care began when I was about 11 years old. I've been raised around and have cared for a plethora of dog breeds and sizes. I've also experienced, and cared for a range of different animals like reptiles, rodents, felines, fish and dogs. I enjoy many different pets/pet personalities and ensure that I can provide the care your paw-some pet requires ^u^. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. Weekends, and Some holidays are great times for my availability. I'm willing to negotiate some weekdays depending on my schedule. Depending on the animal, I will provide the care that is requested of me by you(the owner). Since you know your pet better than I do, I would like to have a description of the pets personality, meal times, routines, healthcare needs and habits so I know how to accommodate them best( knowing whether they need space, like cuddles, have zoomies, need medicine throughout the day, need assistance walking etc.) If your pet is medicated I need to know HOW they are given their medication and when they are to recieve it. I also need to be notified of any disabilities they may have. This is all to ensure that my care is excellent for you and them.<3

About: I believe pet sitting is more than just stopping by for a visit. Every pet is cared for with patience, attention, and the same love I would give my own. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, send regular photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel right at home until you return. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, not just my work schedule. I plan my days around my clients’ visits to ensure every pet receives reliable, on-time care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule so pets can stick to their normal routine. Caring for animals is my full commitment, and I take pride in being dependable for both pets and their owners. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During every visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions if needed, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have the opportunity to go potty and get some exercise. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort, while drop-in visits include playtime, companionship, and any other care you’ve requested. I also provide photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Erin is amazing with our two boys! She sent so many pictures and texted us throughout the day when our dog needed his meds. Would absolutely recommend, we already have our next visit with her booked! Thank you Erin :)”
“Aliyah was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my dog when I was out of town for a few days and provided several updates throughout each day. Her daily updates and photos helped me feel super comfortable being away from my pup because I knew she was being thoroughly attended to, cared for, and loved! I'm thankful for Aliyah's compassionate care, and I hope to book with her again if another opportunity comes up.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lithia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lithia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lithia 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
