“Leilani made a genuine connection with Willow. She was able to maintain her routine and had good company three times a day. What a blessing to know she was loved and cared for while I was away.”
“John is the best. He is so gentle with my dogs. He lets them out, gives them attention,and makes sure their water bowl is filled. Their favorite part is a treat before he leaves . He always leaves detailed notes . He makes leaving them less stressful. I highly recommend him!”
About: I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently unemployed and have most days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any clients schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.
“Alexis was absolutely wonderful for our brood. She really took the time to learn about each of our cats and helped ease the anxiety I felt leaving them for a week. She went above and beyond!”
About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and cats and helping friends and family care for theirs. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with pets, and providing companionship while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to ensure they receive the care they’re used to. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals. My goal is to care for your pet the way they need while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is very free and flexible therefore, I can spend as much time as needed with your pet after I get up and get ready for the day. I would make sure your pet has clean food and water first. Then for dogs I would take them out on a walk or with permission to a dog park to run around and play with other dogs. If you have a fenced in yard I would personally be happy to run around with them there as well. For indoor cats I would do the same but instead play with them using toys or giving them a scratch and sitting with them.
About: I have lived with taking care of all kinds of animals. More specifically I grew up with dogs (dachshunds) all my life and I love taking care of pets of all ages. I can wake up early on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to take care of animals and those same days after 3 pm. I can also take care of pets for most of the weekend and weekends in general. I can take them out to the bathroom, feed them, and walk them with certain availability that works for you and me and your pet!

About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats.

With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McSherrystown
As a newbie to Rover - I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect but as soon as I met Leilani I was at ease for her to watch our dog and cat while we were on vacation. Having 2 slightly older pets - she was so great ensuring they were comfy and taken care of. She provided great updates and even made sure the plants were watered. I’d recommend her to anyone who is still on the “fence” - book with Leilani 😊
Thank you Fraya for visiting our cat Brownie. We could tell from your pictures that she was very comfortable with you. We also could tell that you brushed her as her coat was very smooth when we returned home. Also thank you for keeping her area very clean. We will definitely rebook with you for future vacations.
We booked Kyla & Cody to watch our pup at their house for a weekend, as well as do a few drop-ins at our house for our other pets. They were fantastic! I really appreciated the updates and photos they sent, and I loved that they got to know our multiple pets by name and understood their personalities. They are true animal lovers and it shows. And I think our dog made a new bestie in their teddy bear of a lab Bishop!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
