About: Growing up, my family always had animals around. I have five brothers and sisters and we all had pets, from dogs to cows to fish. Now as an adult, I would love to care for your pets for you. I’m not afraid of loud, messy, big dogs but I can be very gentle with shy, sweet kitties and puppies. I’m patient and I have done lots of research on how a dog’s brain works. I can’t wait to take your pet on an adventure or maybe just a leisurely stroll! I’m a stay-at-home-wife so I have lots of free time to dedicate to your furry friend. I try to keep Sundays low-key but the rest of my week is wide-open! I have a sweet small dog and a silly cat who loves dogs but can easily defend herself and hide. I have a big backyard for your pets to play in, but don’t worry, I will never leave them unsupervised.
“She did a wonderful job with Ruby. She was very kind and passionate towards Ruby our family. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her. Will definitely rebook her and recommend her to anyone. She will take good care of her little one”
“Josh has been absolutely amazing in sitting for Lollie. She is generally bot a huge fan of men, but she just adores Josh!! He has visited a couple of times while we are there and Lollie is over the moon for him - she wags her tail so hard I think she might throw her hip out - lol. I would recommend Josh to anyone who needs a pet sitter - he loves Lollie and she loves him back - we are grateful to have him.”
“Jannah was the absolute best. Kind, honest and caring. Above and beyond communicator. Felt very comfortable with her watching my pup and will trust her again in the future.”
“Darian demonstrated professionalism by arriving as scheduled, ensuring my dogs were properly cared for, and providing peace of mind that they were in good hands. The care, patience, and kindness shown during each visit were greatly appreciated. What impressed me even more was the extra level of thoughtfulness-Darian took the time to secure my Amazon packages, which went above and beyond what was expected.”
“Scarlett was amazing with our dogs! She always went above and beyond! We actually could relax on our vacation knowing she was watching our fur babies. She was always on time and her report cards were thorough, always letting us know what was going on. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again, she has been the best dog sitter we have ever had!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken dogs for walks, overnight care, administer medication, follow feeding times and making sure that the fur babies are well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule. I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Friday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.
“Hand an EMERGENCY I was out all day and didn’t think I’d get stuck out so long one of my furbabies was in her cage and she answered me immediately and swung by to let her out for me in such short notice there within minutes to rescue my husky out her cage let her outside even hung out a little with her and the furbabies .”
About: have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple dog daycare environments, where I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, walks, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure dogs remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also provided regular pet-sitting and one-on-one care, so I understand that every dog has different routines, energy levels, and needs. Working in dog daycares has taught me how important patience, consistency, communication, and paying attention to a dog’s body language are. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and take their care seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, entertained, and comfortable while they’re in my care. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog, so I’m very used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. Because I already have pets at home, I understand how important consistency and routine are. I make sure I have enough time in my day to give the pets in my care the attention they need rather than treating pet sitting like something I’m squeezing in. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for other people’s pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. 🐶🐱🤍 Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication or basic care, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in home, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have experience caring for my own pets—Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog—so I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well while they’re away. 🐶🐱🤍
About: I love taking care of animals. At the moment I can’t work a normal job and I’ve always been very fond of animals. If you decide to book I’ll make sure they have a pleasant experience. It’s a guarantee. I’m currently available at any time. Weekdays can vary so just make sure to give me a notice beforehand. I work from home so i can care for them with no problems! Pets at my home are guaranteed to be inside. Pets at clients home will vary depending on how the client wants it. I make sure the area is always clean for their safety. I also have a safety camera in the room they stay in, so even when I'm not home i can still keep an eye on them.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? For me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly believe in “soul dogs,” the once-in-a-lifetime companions who leave paw prints on our hearts forever. I feel incredibly lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs of my own: Dax, my gentle 110-pound giant, and Sandy, my spirited 23-pound sidekick. Living with dogs of very different sizes and personalities has taught me how every dog has unique needs, routines, and ways of communicating. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and love I give every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks and playtime, or prefers quiet companionship and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, understand the importance of consistency, and believe that trust is earned through kindness and reliability. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your best friend is happy and well cared for. My goal isn’t just to watch your dog—it’s to become someone they’re excited to see again. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My two dogs, Dax and Sandy, have consistent routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention, and I understand how important that consistency is for every dog. I work away from home Monday through Thursday, but I have a predictable schedule with consistent departure and return times. This allows me to provide reliable care and lets pet parents know exactly what to expect. On my days off, I spend most of my time at home, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of my family. My home is a safe, welcoming environment where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervised play throughout the day. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can run, explore, play fetch, or simply relax in the sunshine. On warm days, I like to put out a small dog pool so pups can cool off and have a little extra fun. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers lounging outside and soaking up the fresh air, I’ll make sure they have an enjoyable stay. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of my sisters dog many times also watched dogs for my mom's friend.I also worked with dogs at my school before so I've made sure to pay close attention. I just graduated high school. So I have a lot of availability to care for or walk your baby.I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need I don't have a fenced yard but I do make sure I pay close attention to your animals and I live in a safe neighborhood that's really quiet.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and attention Bethaney gives to animals. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing we can leave our pet in such capable and caring hands with Bethaney. We would highly recommend Bethaney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

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 .

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.
