“Debra was genuinely excellent. She took care of our cats exactly as promised, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We were lucky to be so close, and we are looking forward to having such a reliable caretaker nearby. We plan on asking Debra to take care of our pets again soon”

“I am so thankful I found Kathleen! She gave me such comfort since the moment I met her. Winston, my dog loved her as instantly as well. She was super caring and kind with my fur baby. She took such good care and gave me ease and peace in knowing my fue baby was in such good care. I highly recommend her. I know I can trust her! Thank you Kathleen so much again!! 😊💕👌🏽🙏🏽”

“Alicia and Richard were great. They visited my cat twice a day for three days. They checked food and litter box each visit. They played with him and let him visit the patio. Be even sat in their laps which he does not do with me! Thank you guys for taking such great care of Wesley.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience loving and caring for them. My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same way—with patience, attention, affection, and lots of love. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or taking your dog for a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to accommodate the times that work best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with both large and small dogs as well as cats, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I understand that you’re trusting me with both your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with care and respect.
“We are home and Moose was well taken care of. No accidents in the home and he was relaxed. Sam listened to all are instructions and was very good at communicating with us and giving us updates. Would definitely recommend using Sam.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Dace has provided our 3 fur babies! She helped us be letting our dogs our while we were working long hours, spent time playing with them, and made sure they had everything they needed. It was such a relief knowing our dogs weren’t alone all day without being able to have a mid-day playtime outside, and were genuinely cared about. The extra attention and playtime had made a huge difference for them being able to get some extra energy out!”

About: Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) with a current background check, I began working in veterinary hospitals in 1982 and worked a total of ten years in this field. It was during this time that I began to pet/house sit. I took care of dogs, cats and birds and worked for several clients for 20+ years. During my time working in veterinary hospitals I learned how to administer sub-q fluids, insulin and liquid and pill medications. My immediate goal is to become a full-time dog sitter/walker which will allow me to spend thirty minutes to an hour with each dog in my care. I am a walker - I do not drive - so my focus will be on long walks and ample time spent at the dog run should the client so desire. I am very attentive, meticulous and responsible and welcome the opportunity to care for senior as well as special needs pets. Since this is my full-time job I am available seven days a week to morning, afternoon and early evening to cat sit or walk your dog. If the client has a fenced in yard I always make sure it is secure and well-lit before bringing the dog(s) outside. I only walk one dog at a time and always with a leash or harness.

I currently am home full time and have my entire schedule to dedicate to pet sitting or walking. I can be there to tend to your pet at whatever time you need! I understand the stress of leaving your beloved furry babies home and in the care of strangers, but I’m here to make sure that stress is minimized. I can give your pet specialized care and give you regular updates so it feels as if you never left them!

“Marie took such great care of our boy Ernie. Made us feel comfortable and treated him like family. She went above and beyond. Great communication as well. We could not have asked for anyone better. She is truly amazing!”

About: Hello I’m Rylie! I love all animals especially dogs! I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money. As your dog sitter I promise to take care of your furry kid like it was my own, I’m very open to learning new routines, and I have a very flexible schedule. Also, I happen to have six dogs of my own and am very passionate about my job as a dog sitter. I strongly believe that animals aren’t just a pet they are part of the family. I love going on runs around the neighborhood, playing in the back yard and going to the local park with the dogs I sit. I look forward to meeting you and you’re beautiful family! Thank you. Rylie

About: I've been around dogs a majority of my adult life. They are god's creatures and I will give tons of love to them! They give unconditional love --- and want to give it right back to them. I'm retired now and love all fur babies so I can totally work with anyone's schedule! I know that pets are part of the family so take pet sitting/walking very serious. I can totally go to client's home and be a supportive pal as their loved ones are away. Exercise is so important so whether it's ball play time or a long walk --- I'm excited in my little way to make them feel comfortable and safe!
About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

I offer personalized dog walks, adventure style walks, drop-in visits and overnight care in your home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime and enrichment.

I’m also a proud Husky mom to Winter & Koda and cat mom to Cat, Mooshka & Rumpus. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care. I offer flexible availability for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays and weekends.

I knew immediately that Tonya was going to be an outstanding pet sitter! You can just tell when someone truly has a love for animals and I got that vibe from her right away. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Tonya and will most definitely be booking her again in the future!

Atina did a fantastic job caring for my pup (Violet)! Loved the updates and photos/videos… made me feel at ease leaving her alone at the house for an extended time. Violet really seemed to connect with Atina and upon my return I didn’t have the usual ‘fatigued’ dog I get when I board her. The whole experience was 5 stars! Thank you very much for the attention you gave her.

- 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.
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 Little River 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.

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 .
