I fortunately have a flexible schedule & primarily work from home. I have the time to focus on your pet all throughout the time they are in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.
About: I am understanding of dogs and am able to adjust what I do depending on the dog's personality. I am young so I'm fully capable of running dogs around in the yard if they are high energy, but I can also just hang out with older dogs and give them attention. I have had a pretty high maintenance dog for over eight years so I am used to having unique ways of taking care of them. I am a student at Syracuse University so I have the perfect amount of time to do drop ins and walks before I go to class in the morning and once my classes end due to my schedule. I do not currently take care of any pets, mostly due to housing restrictions, but I have a dog at home who I miss and have taken care of for many years. For drop in visits I will come in and give them food and water along with taking them outside for a bathroom break. i can also give them pills and other medicines if applicable. I should be capable of doing anything else needed for care. I can also do walks and stay longer as long as time permits, just ask and I will let you know!
About: Hello! My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been caring for pets for many years. Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of looking after a variety of animals, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I’ve worked with all types of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, small mammals, birds, horses and even reptiles. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve also worked at a pet store, where I gained hands-on knowledge about pet nutrition, grooming, and general care. I have worked with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, and reptiles, learning to understand their unique requirements and behaviors. This experience has taught me how to handle animals with patience and kindness, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I’m also experienced in handling special needs pets, including those who require medication, extra attention, or specific care routines. Whether it’s giving medication or modifying their environment for comfort, I’m always happy to help make sure they get the best care possible. At home we have rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, a dog, chickens, quails, ducks, leopard geckos, African clawed frogs, goats and a pig. needless to say I can take care of a variety of pets :) I would love the chance to take care of your pets, and I’m dedicated to providing them with the same level of care I give my own. I am currently a college student so my schedule can be a bit wonky. please reach out and let’s find a time that works! :) When I care for pets, my main goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If I’m looking after your pets at your home, I do everything I can to maintain their routine and make sure they feel at ease in their familiar environment. Whether it’s giving medication on time, sticking to their feeding schedule, or just providing some extra snuggles, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully and respecting your space. I also love sending updates with photos or messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away! Building trust is really important to me. You can always count on me to treat your pets like my own and keep you in the loop about how everything is going.
“Anna was an absolutely wonderful sitter! She came twice a day and provided our 6 cats with first-rate care and companionship. She communicated extremely well and our cats, who are not used to strangers, all warmed up to her very quickly. That is a testament to how good she is! We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Such a great experience and a wonderful caring human to watch over our fur babies! Sent lots of updates while we were away and followed all of the care instructions for our cats. Thank you so much. 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
“Amy's the best. So sweet and did a great job caring for our little Willy. She sent me several photos and was available last minute to take care of our little guy. He looks like he had a great time with Amy and I trust her to watch him any time. Thank you for all your help!”
“We once again used Mariana for a drop-in visit for our Saint mix Grayson on Tuesday. As always, she did a great job. Over the last nine months, we've utilized Mariana several times and she continually takes great care of our baby girl and is respectful of our home. Grayson is a rescue that at times has extreme anxiety issues, but she loves Mariana and is very comfortable with her. We've actually employed Mariana in training Grayson as well and she has helped her take great steps in her development. If you have a dog that is nervous and needs a sitter who really understands dogs, Mariana is definitely for you!”

Rachael is so sweet and attentive to our two elderly dogs. She keeps us informed about their feedings, their behavior, and gives them their medication. She has taken them for walks and sent us photos with her communication, which is so helpful. We really appreciate the great care during these stressful days of needing pet care.
Jennifer did a great job with Jozie, who can be a little challenging at times. I could tell from the moment I met Jennifer that she was an animal lover and felt confident she would be a good fit. She was dependable and responsible. I would definitely recommend her.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manlius choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
