“Sami was great with our girls. She communicated regularly and even stayed a bit longer when I was slower to respond. Very attentive and observant about change in behavior. Thank you for taking great care of our girls!”
“Olivia did a great job taking care of our gang and we look forward to using her again in the future. Great with dogs and cats alike. My dog, Lyla is usually skittish with new people but she went right up to Olivia and felt comfortable right away which is very important”
About: My family over the years have had dogs as pets. This is the extent of my experience with dogs. I am very willing to learn how others take care of their dogs. I am currently working every Weekend and would like to have a part time job during the week. I am a lover of all animals. Mix the two together and here I am to take care of your pets. I am a very cautious person especially with my pets. When I love something so dearly I make sure I do everything in my power to take care of it. I am this way with my two cats. They are also solely fed wet food. I try to do research on whats best for them.
About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.
“I recently used Kimberly from Rover to take care of my dog, and cats and overall, it was a great experience! Kimberly was very friendly and clearly loves animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which was a nice touch and helped me feel at ease while I was away. My fur babies seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making sure all of my instructions were followed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Alanna did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She stopped by multiple times at my apartment and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. She cleaned out his litter box, gave him fresh water, and played with him. Would definitely recommend Alanna if you need someone to watch your pet while you’re away!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our pup( Pitbull/oversized lap dog). She was flexible with our needs and she stayed true on her punctuality. She even was able to clip our pups nails which is a god send. If we weren’t moving, Kelly would be our go to Rover. THANK YOU!”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love and care for dogs, which stems from my experience with my own one-year-old puppy🐶 I successfully potty trained him, and I treat him as if he’s my child, with patience, kindness, and respect. I never use negative language (ex. Calling him a bad dog) or harmful methods because I believe words and actions can deeply affect a dog’s emotional well-being. I ensure every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and valued, and I take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities🐾 Accepting bookings for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Years’ Eve and New Years!🎄 Other than that, I work an 8:30am to 5:30pm job from home, and I work in office Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have a Havanese little boy who weights 15 pounds and is so sweet, loves to play around and is goofy🐶. I used to put him in his crate to sleep but noticed he LOVES being under the bed or next to me, so for him, crate means timeout haha! When it comes to your dog needs, if they’re used to stay in a crate, that will definitely be an option, if not, then they will stay indoors while I ensure they’re taken on walks throughout the day😊
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies. I am a retired nurse and have experience giving dogs their medicine. Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.
About: Hi, I’m the person your pets think about when you’re gone. I offer personalized pet sitting, boarding, and training with a focus on routine, trust, and real connection. Every animal in my care is treated like my own—whether that means sticking closely to their home schedule, giving them space to decompress, or matching their energy with play, structure, and attention. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, from high-energy and “chaotic” personalities to anxious or more reserved pets. I’m also comfortable working with exotics, including reptiles and other non-traditional pets—something you won’t find everywhere. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your pet’s world feeling stable and familiar ➡️ Build trust through consistency and understanding ➡️ Give you peace of mind while you’re away You won’t get one-size-fits-all care here. I pay attention to the little things—feeding routines, quirks, behaviors, and body language—because that’s what makes the biggest difference. Whether your pet is clingy, independent, vocal, or a little mischievous, they’ll have a safe, structured, and genuinely caring environment with me Pet care is built into my routine to ensure consistency and reliable attention. I work four 10-hour shifts each week at a veterinary hospital and have three days off for more flexible, hands-on care. On workdays, pets receive morning and evening care including feeding, exercise, and one-on-one attention, while I keep their routine as close to home as possible. On my days off, I’m available for more time, enrichment, and individualized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to monitor health, recognize behavior changes, and administer medications if needed—giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, medication, and any specific routines, while keeping their space clean and low-stress. In my home, pets are treated like part of the household with structured care for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, adjusted to their individual needs and energy levels. Across both settings, I provide attentive supervision, enrichment, and calm companionship, with experience recognizing behavior changes and handling medications when needed. My goal is consistent, reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and cats for 4 years now. I love and care for each animal as if they are my own because I know how important a pet is to their family. I also respect all the rules given by their owners and make sure I’m following exact instructions. I also volunteered on a farm for a while as a young child and grew up taking care of my family’s chickens so animal care is something that has always been a part of my life. I am just graduated from school and getting my priorities straight so I have a very flexible schedule. When I’m working other jobs, they’re in the evenings and in my control as for scheduling and time so if there are specific needs for your pets around certain times, I can accommodate. I pet sit and homes and follow all rules that are given for me. I treat your space and your pets space with full respect and make sure I take care of it even better than my own space.

About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. Our yard in a quiet neighborhood is not fenced, but we can & will take as many leashed walks as needed. In the house, we have a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,825 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Margaret. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
