Whether you’re away for the day, traveling, or simply need an extra helping hand, you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving attentive, loving care in the comfort of their own home. I understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following your instructions so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care services can include: • Feeding and fresh water • Walks and exercise • Playtime and companionship • Medication and special care routines • Overnight or extended care • Senior and special-needs pets • Keeping your pet’s environment clean and comfortable • Regular updates and photos for peace of mind I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to make that decision easier by providing trustworthy care, personalized attention, and plenty of love. 🐶🐱 Your pets’ comfort and happiness are my priority. 📩 Message me to discuss your pet’s needs and how I can help! 🐾 My Schedule & Availability I’m a stay-at-home mom, so while my days are busy with my children, pets, and family life, I don’t have a traditional outside job. This gives me the flexibility to make time for caring for other people’s pets and homes. My own pets and family keep me active and responsible, and I understand how important routines, consistency, and attention are when caring for animals. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule based on my family’s activities and your pet’s needs. I’m especially interested in helping families who need someone reliable, trustworthy, and flexible to care for their pets while they’re away. 🐶🐱 Busy family life, but flexible availability for the pets who need me. ❤️ 🐾 Safety & Trust Come First When you leave your pets in someone else’s care, you need to know they are safe, secure, and in trustworthy hands. I take pet safety seriously. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, secure your home, and pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and needs. I also understand the importance of keeping doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures secure. I believe trust is earned through responsibility, communication, consistency, and genuine care. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for and your home is being respected. Your pets’ safety isn’t just part of the job—it’s my priority. 🐾❤️

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, ferrets, you name it and I've taken care of it! Animals are a passion of mine and through pet sitting I get to meet so many great animals. I have offered a verity of pet sitting services such as dog walking, house sitting and farm sitting. Through the 4 years I have been pet sitting I have watched and cared for both domestic pets, as well as farm animals, and I have a list of references to back up my work. I do have a local part time job so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to pet sitting. I am available to check in and care for your pets in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I am also available to watch pets overnight throughout the week and on weekends. I like to visit my clients home, and meet the animals I will be caring for prior to the service to ensure I am equipped to provide excellent care that makes the animal comfortable and healthy, as well as provide the client a piece of mind. I cater to how my clients want their animals cared for and treated, each home is different and I try my best to meet my clients standards.

About: Taylor and I are lifelong animal lovers with experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special needs. We both grew up with lots of pets and truly can’t imagine a home without them. We have hands-on experience working with a wide range of behaviors, which helps us provide structure, consistency, and a calm environment for every dog in our care. Through my time pet sitting, volunteering at shelters and fostering dogs, I’ve gained practical experience with pet first aid, administering medications, and bathing. We keep a small, carefully managed group so each pet receives individualized attention, plenty of supervision, and a safe, comfortable, home-like experience. While we both work full time, we can still meet your needs. Weekdays or weekends, we’ve got you covered! Rest assured, your pets will be on a consistent schedule, just like ours! We have a full acre of land with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Our property is set far back from the road, with an electric fence and a secure run for pups who can’t be off leash. There’s even a doggie pool for hot summer days, outdoor dog beds for lounging, and lots of toys for playtime. Our own dogs are friendly, trained, and social — they love meeting new furry friends and joining us on adventures. Whether it’s a hike, trip to the creek, or a visit to a dog-friendly store, we make sure our pets (and yours!) enjoy life to the fullest. We understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. We take introductions slowly and carefully, provide separate spaces when needed (including a calm, cat-only room), and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with our double crate setup and baby gates for added security. You can feel confident that your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that we give our own.

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.
