About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.
About: Hello! I am a recent graduate who just moved to the area after accepting a job in the speech, language, and hearing sciences department. Looking for some extra income on the side. I have had both dogs and cats my entire life including a variety of breeds and sizes. I am currently working part- time and do not currently have any pets of my own. So, I will plenty of time and energy to give to yours! I have done a little bit of everything. I have had dogs who were trained to go off leash, also cats who were allowed outside. On the flip side, I have also cared for many escape artists, most of which were not faster than me.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!

About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals.

I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.

About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
