About: I’m very passionate about the care and wellbeing of animals and consider myself a dog lover.I have two furry babies at home which I adore with my life and I would like to spread that love and care to other dogs. I have a full time job and my schedule during my off days varies every week. Since I have too many days off, I want to help others with the care of their fur babies when needed. As a first responder and dog mom, my instincts are to protect, serve and love. There’s nothing more rewarding than being able to help and protect the ones who need it. As a dog mom my heart has become softer for other fur babies and there's nothing I would love more than serving you taking care of them.

About: I’ve always been the kind of person who learns the dog’s name before the human’s. 🐾 Whether your dog is a professional couch potato, a fetch fanatic, a certified Velcro dog, or thinks every walk is the greatest adventure of their life, I love figuring out what makes them happiest. I also have extensive hands on experience with Believe in Dog Training in Houston Heights, where I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, communication, and training. I’ve personally taken two of my own dogs through training with them, so I understand how important consistency, positive reinforcement, boundaries, and keeping up with the commands and routines your dog already knows can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your normal walking routine, feeding schedule, commands, house rules, and all those little quirks that make your dog your dog. I don’t want your pet to simply be checked off a to do list while you’re gone. They’ll get genuine attention, playtime, walks, love, and cuddles if that’s their thing. And yes, you can absolutely expect photo updates including the unnecessarily cute ones. 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible, which means I have plenty of time to make your pets a priority! 🐾 I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because we all know they’re the ones actually running the schedule. Whether it’s morning zoomies, an afternoon walk, or dinner served precisely when demanded, I’m there! Your pet’s safety comes first fun is a very close second! 🐾 I follow your instructions, routines, house rules, and training cues closely because consistency matters. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll never introduce your pet to another animal or take them somewhere new without your permission. I also know every pet has their quirks. Whether I need to give them space, burn off some serious zoomies, throw the ball approximately 900 times, or provide mandatory couch cuddles, I’ll adapt to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. You can expect plenty of updates and pictures along the way because wondering what your pet is doing while you’re gone is half the struggle! ❤️
About: Hello! I absolutely love animals and it would be a privilege to help take care of yours. I started walking dogs when I was in junior high to raise money for charities. I would pet sit for friends in college who had dogs, new kittens, and elderly pets as well. I have a wide range of pet caring experience, can adapt to whatever your pet needs, and I am home often as a 4th year med student. I am home often as a 4th year medical student. Sometimes my schedule can still be chaotic so I communicate frequently and appreciate your patience! I have a spacious apartment, outdoor space, a couple of balconies, and pet-safe furniture that all makes for a great pet-sitting environment. I am also flexible in ensuring a pet has the best environment possible!

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.
