About: Hi! My name is Maribel, and I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life. I grew up caring for family pets and have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other small animals. As a college student, I know how important it is to find someone dependable who will care for your pets like family. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently on summer break from college and have a flexible schedule for pet care! I work part-time at a golf course, and starting soon I’ll only be working one day a week at my second job. Most of my work shifts are during the day, which allows me to be available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding. On my days off, I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I’ll always keep you updated with daily photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a fenced relief area and plenty of safe walking paths nearby. Since I live in an apartment, I only board one family’s pets at a time so they receive my full attention. If you have two small dogs from the same family, I’d be happy to care for them together. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and shy dogs, and I always follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. While I don’t administer medications, I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, go on walks, and give your pet lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“From our first contact on, Rachel was friendly, very helpful (this was my first Rover experience, and she made sure I understood how things work), responsible, and caring. I felt entirely safe having her take care of our cats at our home. She did a great job, and sent us some truly awesome pictures! I highly recommend Rachel. ?”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. My family friends and neighbors have been coming to me to walk their dogs and take care of their pets for many years and continue to do so I have a very open schedule and cater to the owners schedules and if any changes occur I can accommodate accordingly and ensure continued service I will always enquire from the owners about any health issues with their pets and how to take care of them properly. I will also ensure pictures and videos of the owners dogs at the owner’s request
About: I am very attentive to my fur babies I have a 11 year old and a 1 year old their names are Milo and King. King needs a little more TLC he has congestive heart failure and has to take heart meds for the rest of his life. Milo is a ball of energy he keeps me on my feet he love to play run and belly rubs. Dog grooming is also available if needed for your furry fur baby. Pet care is very important to me. Proper pet care is the basis of responsible pet ownership. Caring for an animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. I have 2 small dogs who loves company King is old and set in his ways so he doesn’t play much just bark and Milo is the social one he gets along with all dogs. There is a dog bark near by that I take him to so he can run jump and play with other fur babies
About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!
About: Hi! I’m Nikki, and I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their different personalities, routines, and the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared dogs and cats while people are away, making sure they stayed on their normal schedule, got plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently care for two pet ferrets, so I’m comfortable with small animals and understand that every pet has unique needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or someone patient and dependable to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to earn that trust and care for your pets. My schedule allows me to provide care during early mornings before 7:30 AM and evenings after 4:00–5:30 PM, depending on the day. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability on those Fridays for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, a walk before work, dinner, playtime, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like they’re my own. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet’s space stays safe and tidy. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As an avid pet lover, friends and family turn to me to help watch their furry family members when they’re away from home. I’ve been a trusted dog sitter and walker for years and hope I can help you with your pet needs! I’m a stay-at-home-parent with local family support so I can dedicate time to your pets whenever needed! Mornings, evenings, and weekends are best, but with enough notice I can cater to your pet’s needs throughout the day. While pet care in my home is not currently available due to a reactive dog of my own, I am perfectly happy to provide most services to your pet in your home. I’m intimately familiar with all collar and leash types, crates and play pens, “puppy pads,” medications, bathing, and more. With the right tools and proper communication, rest assured that I will meet every expectation as your pet sitter!

About: I’ve worked with shelters for a while and also fostered 2 dogs. My family has had dogs for a while and I’ve done training classes for puppies! I work from home 4 days a week so I have lots of time to take pets on walks or stop by to give them some love or attention! I would have my attention focused solely on the pet and do whatever I could to help and love them. I would make sure to touch base with the owner on instructions and things to look out for.
“I was on a cruise, my dog was sick (at home), my son/dog sitter got sick and I needed someone to take my dog to the vet - Jalen said yes w/o hesitation! I ended up having him walk her for a few days but just the fact that he said yes speaks volumes about his character and love of animals. I will use him again and again and again. Thank you Jalen.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid and have always been the go-to “person” for all animals around me! I have experience training and caring for puppies as my own Pomeranian is 1! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies when needed! I am open every weekend and my weekdays do vary. I have plenty of experience caring for my own puppy while managing my older dog and cat. I live in an apartment which means I am constantly finding new ways and walks to keep my dogs safe, happy, and healthy.
“We've never used a sitter for drop-in visits before and found this to be a fairly easy process. We are very pleased with the level of care that Elise gave to our cat, 5 star services without a doubt.”
“We were away for six days and felt so comfortable leaving our Siamese cat, Gus, with Michelle. Gus has a lot of personality and usually doesn't like many people, but Michelle truly had the magic touch! He was completely at ease and so cuddly with her. She was great at communicating and we loved getting all the photo updates. We will definitely book her again!”
“Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!”
“We are very grateful to use Ashleigh‘s services again, this time for a longer stay. I had great peace of mind on my trip because I knew Ashleigh would throughly communicate and let us know how the animals were doing at home. If you were looking for an amazing pet sitter, do not hesitate to use Ashleigh services!”

I had never left my dog overnight and was somewhat nervous. Shelby came in the evening and the morning and played w her, took a walk, fed her and thoroughly documented it all for me.. such a blessing! she also came over to meet Holly and me before my trip. Shelby put me at ease - which was priceless and Holly loved her. I will definitely re-book with her!!
Maya was great! She visited before the booking to ensure she was familiar with our home and our cat. The cat typically hides but came out for Maya right away and hung out with her during each visit! Maya did everything we asked and went above and beyond, bringing in mail and packages. She was prompt, communicative, and a huge help! We highly recommend working with Maya!
Excellent communication all the time, on the button My dog loves her….matter fact I’m home now and normally my dog Lexy would not go out with anybody if I was here. However, with Susan might Lexy gives her the respect she’s due and follows her without hesitation
Sarah was amazing with our puppy Billie. She was always on time for the check-ins and left great notes and photos to help let us know what was happening and how she was doing. She went above and beyond and will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away. Thank you Sarah!
Josh is the best! He agreed to meet and get to know our pets first which took the worry away knowing he was kind thoughtful and responsible. He was flexible with the schedule and so good with our rather anxious dog. Our dog actually seems calmer was brushed and well cared for while we were away! and he is even leaving food in his bowl after Josh suggested he may need more food cause he seemed hungry and so we said ok and learned Josh was right maybe that was all it was cause now he doesn’t inhale it in 5 minutes! He also was flexible when I had a last minute thing to do and needed his services for the weekend. Can’t say enough great things really glad I tried this service and was lucky enough to get Josh!

Kelsey was so great with our dogs. She kept in good communication with me and kept me updated with what was going on with them. She even sent me updates of our cat who wasn’t included in our agreement. Looking forward to scheduling with her again in the future!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
