About: Ive owned one or more dogs since I was a kid. Ive participated in a variety of dog training from classes at PetSmart to Nebraska Dog Training. Working from home, there will be limited times pets will be left unsupervised while in my care. I am Working from home full time which makes me available for frequent potty breaks. This also allows for several opportunities for social interaction throughout the day. I have 5 acres of land. Not fenced available, but outside time on a leash can be offered to ensure safety. I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as family and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. When I was young, I had two dogs and two cats that I cared for and loved. When I was in grade school, I trained my dog for 4h and earned many achievements in showmanship and agility courses. Many neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their furry friends. I can attend to all of your pets needs. I am currently working full time, so I won’t have a lot of time during the day to drop in, but I am more than happy to stop in in the mornings and evenings (before 8 and after 4pm), as well as any days off I may have to tend your pets needs! I will happily make the trip to parks and fields for plenty of exercise. Also, I will tend to the pets at there very own places so they feel at home in there usual environments.
About: I have been dog sitting since I have been 15! I have two of my own and I would love to help out care for you dogs whenever you’re not able to! I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to hang out with my doggies and your pets whenever is more convenient for you! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pet to play, be safe and enjoy some outside time while being away from home.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them I know how important they are I would do anything for my fur babies! I have over 8 years of experience helping care for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶💕 I currently work at an elementary school as a resource para with special needs children Monday-Friday 8:30am to 12:45pm. I also am a full time college student I am working for my doctorate in Occupational Therapy! Thankfully all of my classes are online so everyday after 12:45 I am available!! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own—a 5-year-old Corgi and a 2-year-old Wirehaired dog. Both are fully trained, very friendly, and active. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in my home as well as in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in their home, I will follow their normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: Grew up with dogs as a child, I would care for family and friends pets, caring for them as they will be part of my family I am semi retired right now, so my time is open to all kinds of playtime and walks so that the dogs have so much fun time daily I have a fenced in yard, I have a 7 year old golden retriever. There are tons of playtime throughout the day with tons of cuddle time
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
