About: Kevin and I have both been caring for dogs and many other types of animals for our entire lives and absolutely couldn’t envision our life without several animals. Kevin has grown up around a family dog business - participating in AKC scent trials, agility training, boarding and almost any other type of dog event & training you can imagine. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire lifetime and used to help foster kittens as a child and teenager. We currently have two dogs, several cats, chickens, turkeys and more. Your animals will be in safe and caring hands with us! We both work but set our own schedules and/or work from home so your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. Since we have animals of our own, caring for additional pets is not a problem and part of our normal lifestyle. We have a large fenced dog run outside, in home kennel area, along with crates for crate trained dogs. Our property is about 5 acres and fully fenced with front gates so dogs cannot leave the area. We also have a couple large lawns we use for doggy playtime, fetch and training sessions.
About: I grew up on a ranch with many different animals! I have a huge love for all animals and would love nothing more than to get to share my love for animals with your pets! I am trust worthy, communicative, and promise to strive to always ensure the best experience possible! I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with training basic skills to puppies and even senior care for older dogs! Females in heat? I’ve dealt with a few, they deserve all the compassion! I hope you choose me to have the pleasure of taking care of your pets! Sliding scale for pricing offered! I’m currently at home most the day and available to maneuver my schedule around your needs! You let me know what your pets need and I will make it a top priority! My cats are indoor only kitties and have lots of vertical space along with zoomi certified runways (hallways) for them to play! My yard is fenced in entirely but rather large and dogs off leash would easily be out of site if not watched. I also have a few chickens on the property so I’d like to be cautious of them.

“Chloe did a great job taking care of my two cats while we were away. She plays with them, takes pictures, is responsive to messages, and her love for animals is apparent.

“Trustworthy and communicative. I am new to rover and have never had a cat sitter off this platform. I booked Jeffery on very short notice having never met him in person, but he turned out to be trustworthy and attentive to my needs and the needs of my cat. Jeffery did everything I asked him to do, took pictures of the cat, and did a good job.”


About: For the past four years, I have raised and cared for chickens, lambs, and goats for our county fair. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning pens, changing water, and walking and training each animal one to two times daily. I always made sure to dedicate consistent, quality time to properly train and care for each of my animals. While these are not the specific types of animals I would be caring for in this position, I believe this experience reflects my strong work ethic, responsibility, and ability to care for animals of all sizes and needs. In addition to my fair experience, I have had animals my entire life. Currently, I have three dogs and ten chickens at home, and I am responsible for their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, and overall needs. My oldest dog is 15 years old, and I have been primarily responsible for his care for the past seven years. Most of my experience is with small dogs under 20 pounds, but I have also walked and cared for larger dogs weighing around 100 pounds. Additionally I have been a prominent member of Tokay FFA’s Veterinary science team, on this team I’ve learned dozens of minor medical procedures that I am confident in doing such as administration of various medications via oral, aural, and injections, bandage wrapping and removal, and the concept of safe handling with all kinds of animals. I am well versed in many species of animals, ages, and sizes so I hope to be a good fit for your beloved pets. I am currently on summer break and will be attending college this coming fall, as of right now my schedule is fairly open. T is a few days where my hours may change, but overall I am available at all times of day every day to fit your needs. Times are subject to change and if I ever have a conflict I will be sure to notify you with proper prior notice to ensure your pets are taken care of. If there is fences at your home I will always be sure to lock and close them behind me if your pets are inside, I am also well versed in handling larger dogs/animals so I will not easily be pushed to the side if your pet is prone to doing so. I am confident in my animal handling skills and if your dog needs to be fenced in or crated I am confident I can do so.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall while you're at work. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be the reliable 'midday anchor' for your pet’s day. I have dedicated my Wednesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, specifically to pet care. This means I am available during the most high-demand hours—when you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings or enjoying a weekend afternoon away. Because I don't juggle a rigid 9-to-5 office job, I can offer consistent arrival windows and the focused attention your pet deserves without rushing to the next appointment. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double-check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean-up discreetly and thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.
About: I’ve been around animals in and outside of my home since i was born. I’ve always had at least one dog since i was seven and currently have three. I am certified with Wag! as well and have been working with horses for 5-6 years so i’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages and other pets you might have in your home. I stay pretty active so long walks or runs aren’t a problem either. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and sitting, overnight, early morning or anytime you need including most holidays and weekends if it’s scheduled at least one day in advance. I’d love to provide whatever your dog needs including special requests and of course love. Long term and recurring setups are preferred but short or one time things are always good too, let me know and i’ll work with you to make sure your dogs are well cared for. My schedule is very flexible, I can usually accept same day requests, long term sitting requests (longer than 3 days) will be easier to commit to with 1-2 days advanced notice I will work with whatever your dog's needs are! I have training experience with ecollar, prong collar, gentle leader, vocal cue and signal commands, and I can maintain your pups training whether they are months or years old! I can provide any level of exercise, special care, grooming, etc. that your dog is used to.
About: I enjoy getting to know clients and their animals and building lasting relationships with the family! I also enjoy the exercise I get with Rover! I'm available full time for dog walks, home visits, or pet sitting in your home. My preferred time to walk your dog is between 9-5 any day of the week. I come to your home and care for your pets in the way we agree upon meeting. Feeding, walking, and playing with your pets while you are away, so you can have peace of mind.
About: Pet Care Experience I grew up on a ranch and have been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, livestock, and everything in between. I have extensive experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs with special needs. My own dog has paralysis, so I’m familiar with bladder expression, administering medications, and providing extra love and support when it’s needed most. I’ve also taken animal science courses related to pet care, including cats. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What Sets Me Apart I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior thanks to a lifetime of hands-on experience. I’m confident handling senior pets, dogs with medical needs, and active pups who just need a little extra playtime and love. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions and routines. Pet parents trust me to not only meet their pets’ needs but to go the extra mile—whether that’s daily updates, customized walks, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Working from home allows me to provide dedicated pet care as part of my daily routine. For house sitting, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my day, keeping to your pets' usual routines and ensuring they receive constant attention and affection. During drop-in visits, I make sure to check in on your pets at the scheduled times, providing everything they need from food to playtime. For dog walking, I incorporate walks into my schedule, offering your dog regular exercise and a chance to explore. My flexible schedule ensures that your pets get the care they need, when they need it. House Sitting: When house sitting, I ensure your pets are comfortable and relaxed in their own environment. I stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I keep a close eye on their health and well-being, providing plenty of love and attention. I also maintain your home by bringing in the mail, watering plants, and keeping everything tidy, so you can return to a clean and well-cared-for space. Drop-In Visits: During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets are happy and content while you’re away. I check in on them at the agreed times, providing fresh food and water, a potty break, and a bit of playtime or cuddling. I also ensure that everything in the house is as it should be, giving you peace of mind. Dog Walking: For dog walking, I focus on giving your dog a fun and safe experience. I stick to their usual route or explore new ones if that’s what they enjoy. I’m attentive to their behavior, ensuring they get the exercise they need while keeping them safe from traffic and other potential hazards.

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.

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.
