About: Hello! I go by Aya! 💕👩🏽🌾Professional belly-rub provider, treat distributor, and enthusiastic walker of tiny goblins and gentle giants alike. I’m a dedicated dog mom to an Aussie/Pit mix, a German Shepherd Terrier mix, and a full-time Tasmanian devil disguised as a Cattle Dog — so I’m very comfortable with high-energy pups, strong personalities, zoomies, and everything in between. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, and you’ll get plenty of updates and cute photos because I know being away from your pet is basically emotional warfare. I go by Aya, but spiritually I become John Wick if anything even mildly inconveniences your dog during our walk. Squirrels? Handled. Scary trash can? Defeated. Suspicious plastic bag blowing in the wind? We shall overcome.✨🐺🐺🐺 I currently work 8 to 430 and I work from home so I’m available from 6 AM to 7:30 AM and anytime after 5:30 PM I do not do boarding in my own home or overnight visits. I can only do drop ins and dog walking. My apologies thank you for choosing me to walk your dog and to make drops ins!

“Tavia was awesome to my pups, we started with her doing drop in visits and then doggy daycare the last few days. She was very flexible and moved her schedule around to meet my needs during the 18 days we had her . I will definitely be calling her again when I need a sitter.”

About: Loving and caring for pets has been a part of my entire life. At a young age I started caring for my neighbor's pets while they were gone, helping lost dogs find their way back home, and training my own dogs. I started volunteering at my local shelter with basic care and also taking dogs off site for some fun outside of the shelter setting- walking, rollerblading for more active dogs, or just hanging out in the yard and working on training commands. I do it all for the love of pets! I currently make my own schedule with the school district working with special needs students, so I have a pretty flexible schedule aside from school drop off and pick up for my children. I'm also available weekends and evenings. Going for the day to Mammoth National Park? Don’t want to leave your pet alone in a rental or hotel? Perfect! I’m on right on your way! Let me keep your pet company and safe while you enjoy all things Mammoth! I have a fenced (4.5’), grassy yard with elevated and covered porch. I do have my own pets so their safety and your pup's safety is of the most importance to me. My pups do not have free range of my home. With a spare room and tall gates I am able to keep separation if desired. I am also able to crate your pup if requested.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.
“She took such good care of my baby boy. Marshall is a very nervous and timid dog, so I knew he would probably be very scared when she came in to let him out, but she took the time to just sit with him and see that he was comfortable before taking him outside. Will definitely use her again!”

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.
