“Jessica was great with our cats. The one is usually not big on people and she would come out for pictures every visit. She was very detailed in her report after each detail. Highly recommend.”

“Amanda was wonderful! We did a meet and great and she quickly learned what we needed done each day of our trip. After the meet and great I was still worried and she was very willing to make another trip out to our home before our trip to appease me. She was very concerned about our one cat because she would not eat for her, but she worked it out and tried different things to gain Mikad trust and she finally trusted Amanda to come out and eat. She was quick to respond to me any time I reached out to her. We were very happy!”


“She was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy, Luna. Made going to work much easier knowing my puppy wasn’t stuck in her crate for hours and got to have breaks. She is excellent at communicating and making sure all the puppy needs are met!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and definitely will be going with her again when I need too!!”


“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello my name is Thayer and I my whole life is about dogs! I currently own two puppies, Sippy is a mixed breed husky, the baby of the bunch is Cheech and she is a mixed lab. I have an associates in Veterinary Science, I am working on my bachelors in Criminal Justice, before going to to obtain my Masters in Veterinary Forensics. All of these are to help me in my future career as a humane officer. Humane Officers’ primary purpose is to investigate allegations of animal abuse and ensure pets are well cared for and protected. I want to spend my life helping dogs feel safe and well cared for even when their owners are away. I have worked at various dog boarding/daycare facilities in the area, alongside multiple dog/cat rescues, and had the amazing opportunity to work for the ASPCA at their headquarters’ clinic. Through these experiences I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Some medical issues I’ve dealt with were seizures, diabetes, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, heat sensitivity, the elderly pups, couple hour old puppies, and the mamas to the pups. I also have lots of experience with dogs with other behaviors such as, fear aggression, reactivity, dog aggression, people (stranger) aggression, men aggression, handling issues, and much more. No dog is ever too difficult to handle and you should be able to go on that vacation not feeling stressed about your pup. I want to help your pup feel right at home when you’re gone or help them get their energy out on a walk. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am currently going to school full time and working on the weekends. I am off Sundays and am home everyday no later than 2pm. I am trying to save money for college. Dog Boarding: 1 mile walk daily, daily fetch and/or tug game, daily bedtime kong, stays longer than 4 days get a free bath and nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. House Sitting: 2-3 daily walks, daily fetch and/or tug game, scooping yard after each potty, cleaning your dog bowls inbetween meals, and stays longer than 4 days get a free nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. Doggy Daycare: I like to start each day with a mile walk all together. Then one on one playtime with my pup(s), if wanted. If you want your pup to have doggy playtime, they will have “cool down” times throughout the day. If a repeat client I offer a free bath every 3rd completed daycare day and free nail clipping/dremmel once a month (as needed), if dog allows. Dog Walking: I provide treats and will reward the dog with a treat when not pulling, so we can walk more safely and efficiently. If I notice the dog’s leash is connected to a collar or harness that is too loose, I may ask if I may tighten it. I do not feel comfortable walking dogs with items that they can easily slip, and may decline an offer, if one is not willing to tighten it. I want all the dogs I walk to be completely safe and not be able to slip out and run. Rates do not go up if dog pulls, is reactive, or dog/ stranger aggressive.

About: You can relax, knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments.

I take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. There is also have a separate space to give new pups the opportunity to have alone time.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
