About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

About: I have years of experience with in-home as well as drop-in pet sitting. I am reliable and dependable so you can be worry free when leaving for furry friends. I am a college student with a lot of down time to care for your furry friends. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my weekly schedule since I only have short classes in the mornings. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of, including walking, bathing, and much more. Anything you need for your pet I am more than happy to accommodate.
“Amazing sitter! She was very attentive and understanding when taking care of my cats. She sent many thoughtful updates and photos! Very caring and accommodating! Highly recommend!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Kassandra during our wedding weekend! 🐾🤍 Leaving our two babies while traveling for our wedding was something I was honestly a little nervous about, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated our dogs like her own. We received updates and check-ins, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding without constantly worrying about how our babies were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were safe, happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. Our dogs clearly had a great time and were comfortable with her, which says everything! I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed our babies during such a special weekend for us. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving toward their pets. We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️ Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies! You gave us one less thing to worry about during our wedding weekend, and we truly appreciate it! 💍🐾”
“Aspen took such great care of my doggie, Luna. She was prompt and easy to communicate with. She also made sure Luna had some outdoor time and was very gentle with her. Thanks for loving on my baby!”
About: I have many pets of my own, including three dogs, two mice, a gecko, and a bunch of fish! I love taking care of animals and making sure they’re as happy as possible, even when their owner isn’t home. ❤️ During the summer I will be pretty free! However, during the school year I always make sure to change my schedule to accommodate the needs of your pets I take care of pets the way their owner wants me to! I will also play and give them lots of love. Feeding on time is important. I always make sure they have water so they are hydrated!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin and other medications. As an adult, I’ve had up to four dogs at once, ranging from a few months old to 11 years old, and helped train them with my partner. My family also has lots of pets, so I’ve always been around and helped care for animals beyond my own. I currently have one dog, Cash, who is very much my baby, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets! I am fully available from Friday-Sunday. I’m currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday, but my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day! I have an hour break between classes and a two-hour lunch each day, which gives me lots of opportunities to head home, spend time with my own dog, and give your pets some love and attention too. 🐾 I’m currently available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pets while you’re away! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and whatever else they’re used to. And of course, I’ll send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re doing well!

Hanna took great care of my fur babies. She is patient and so understanding of each of my dogs. She is punctual and consistent on her visits which is important for dogs like mine who are very use to a schedule. I highly recommend Hanna for pet sitting needs and will use her again. Thank you Hanna. :)

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 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.
