About: Hi! My name is Ariel, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to leave them with someone you can trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and responsibility. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! As i’m currently in nursing school, my schedule is always fluctuating, but I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care for every pet I look after. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you always know my availability. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra playtime and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I will take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every visit. I will be sure to provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection while ensuring doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“Emma communicated with us and was prompt with arriving at the scheduled times. We enjoyed the pictures she sent and our dogs were seen playing in the yard as they would if we were home. Emma was professional and seemed to enjoy our dogs. We will use her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets basically my entire life, there wasn’t a time in my life where my family didn’t have a dog or cat. To me animals are just like family! I’m not currently working for anyone else, so all my time and attention will be going into your pets! At this point I my life, taking care of animals is just second nature to me. I believe that no two pets are the same, every animal has different needs and i strive to take care of each animal the way that works for them.
“Joel provided drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation and if we could give him 10 stars out of 5 we would. He is prompt, caring, follows up very quickly with availability and answering questions, and we recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. His flexibility helped us a ton as our request was last minute and we felt a little scattered with our plans. We felt very comfortable, our new kitten loved him and he is extremely knowledgeable! Also, he met with us prior to watching Pearl and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!!”

About: I had pets ever since I was really young. I would help bathe them, feed them, and clean up after them. I've learned that pets have boundaries just like we humans do. All you need to do is be patient with them. I've help taken care of my past pets and even my other family's dog. I've helped watch my grandma's dog while she went on a one-week vacation. I've helped keep her fed, made sure to take her out when needed, gave her the attention she wanted, and cleaned after her. I even help baby sit my little cousin because I'm really trusting. I have the most pet care experience in cats and dogs. These are the pets I grew up with the most. I can handle two dogs at a time as long as they're small dogs. 0-20 lbs is fine. I work midnights, so there will be a timeframe whenever I can see a message or not. I work from 11:00pm to 7:00am, and typically sleep around 1:00/2:00pm to 7:30pm. Im available most times before 1:00pm. My everyday schedule can be easily adjusted when needed. I would treat your pets with respect and also respect their boundaries. I would treat them as my own and will do my best to keep them out of trouble. If you give me a list of things to do for them, I will gladly try my best to complete everything on the list. To make you feel comfortable I would gladly send you adorable pics of your furry friend. If I have any questions of your pet, I would be sure to text you. Feel free to check up on your pet at any time and I will respond fast as possible. Dogs need to be crated at night, unless they do really good outside the crate, meaning they don’t get into anything, or completely potty trained.
About: I’ve spent the past several years working hands-on as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I truly love what I do. In the clinic, I’ve helped care for pets of all ages and temperaments, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during what can sometimes be stressful visits. As a trainer, I focus on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners, using patience and positive reinforcement to create lasting results. Whether I’m assisting in medical care or helping shape better behavior, my goal is always the same—happy, healthy pets and confident, informed owners who feel supported every step of the way. I’m currently working part time and home with my children 4 days a week and when I’m at my part time job I’m only there till 12pm. So I will have lots of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love and attention! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 7 years and currently working as a dog trainer part time your pets will always be properly taken care of and looked after with lots of play time and walks! If boarded in my home if I am not with them I would have them in a crate for rest times if not crate trained we can figure something out always open to help your pets feel the comfort of home away from home!

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I LOVE dogs! I’ve cared for puppies up to seniors for the past 20 years. I only take care of 1 family at a time for individual attention. I have trained many dogs just for the fun of it. I just moved back to my hometown of Meadville after 30 years in FL. This will be my full time job, so there will an abundant amount of love & time for me to give. This is my job. I’m not working anywhere else presently, so the pets get my undivided attention. My schedule is very open to accommodate you & your pets. I have a large home with a fenced in yard. I have room for crates if that is your preference. I also have historic livestock doors in my home which are perfect for the pets. I do not have any pets presently.
“Aliyah is absolutely the best! She has learned my dog and gives him what he needs regardless of what I may have thought he needed. He literally SMILES when she takes pics of him and my anxiety and dog mommy guilt vanishes. I just love how they love each other!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
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.
