About: Hi, I’m Benjamin! Animals have been part of my life for over 5 years, and caring for them is second nature to me. I grew up surrounded by pets and even worked at a dog kennel in my hometown during my teens, where I learned the ins and outs of handling pups of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend cozy and safe, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I treat every animal like family. From dachshunds (my own weiner dogs!) to big goofy retrievers, I’ve got the experience and the heart to make tails wag and owners feel at ease. Caring for pets is woven into my everyday life. I start my mornings with walks and playtime for my own dachshunds, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels natural. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, exercise, and check‑ins — whether that’s a quick cuddle break or a longer adventure outside. Because I’ve owned pets for over 5 years and worked at a dog kennel in my teens, I’m used to balancing schedules and adapting to different temperaments. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your pet’s needs — from meals to belly rubs — fit seamlessly into my routine, ensuring they get consistent attention and love. Got it — focusing only on pet care in clients’ homes makes your profile crystal clear. Here’s a polished draft you can use: --- 🐾 Caring for Pets in Clients’ Homes I feel confident and happy caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable. I respect each household’s routines and rules, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and affection match what your pet is used to. Your pet stays relaxed in familiar surroundings, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re cared for like family.

“This was my first time using Isabella (Bella) and I was more than satisfied. I have four cats on four different types of food and two are on medications more than once a day. Bella followed the instructions for my complicated household perfectly and was in communication about updates the entire time. Additionally, one of my cats on medication gave Bella a very hard time. She was still able to medicate him which was no easy feat. I dont think anyone but a true, licensed professional like Bella would have been able to. I have the utmost trust and the highest rating for Bella, who succeeded my expectations. Bella is a reliable, compassionate sitter and I'd use her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’m the person that family and friends go to when they want advice on how to teach dogs fun tricks. Also, I’m really good at telling dogs breeds apart which is fun when I’m out. I work part time on weekends and have classes early in the morning. So the rest of my time can be spent with your babies aka your pets. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in and all three of my dogs don't care for other dogs. As my two newest are shelter dogs I wont accept pets at my home for the time being. Im very patient with animals as I’m the one that cares for my dogs. I treat animals almost similarly to children as thats how I see my own.

About: I have been a dog walker for my neighbor for 5 years. I have experienced in pet sitting small and big dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. In my free time I walk senior dogs from a shelter. Over these years and with all my experiences, I have learned dog expressions and warning signs which help me to prevent dogs from any triggering behavior. I’m am a college student and work a weekend job. During the week after classes I have free time to dog walk. I keep my calendar updated regularly for any days where I might not be available throughout the week. I live in an apartment, which is why I choose only small to medium sized dogs to board. I have a large yard that is fenced except for the driveway entrance, for your pets safety I only take dogs into the yard with a leash and as always constant supervision.

Ahhhh, she did such an incredible job 😊 was extremely comfortable with her watching my animals, and genuinely, didn’t worry that one of them would get lost which really scared me at first. She updated me every day and let me send her billions of pictures and messages and didn’t get annoyed which helped.

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.

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.
