About: I can’t remember a time that I have never had an animal. I have 2 dogs that love going on walks and running on our 3 acre farm. We have barns cats, inside and outside house cats. All are strays that have been fixed and vaccinated. I would love to care for your pets too. We own a small business in town and would be able to check in on your pets before, during and after work if needed. I’m very dependable and trustworthy. I don’t have anyone helping me care for your pets but rest assured, they will be cared for in your home with me. My dogs love going on walks so I make it a priority to give them exercise. We rescued a cat that had a severely injured leg. She had to have it amputated but that doesn’t stop her from doing anything she sets her mind to it. She has a friend, which is another rescue and both love each other.
“Xinia kindly came to the house a few days ahead of time to introduce herself to the hounds before our scheduled appointment. Xinia came to my home to let the dogs out for a potty break and to burn off a little energy on a day I had to leave for an extended period of time. She made certain they had water and sent pictures of her time with my hounds. I will definitely reserve with Xinia in the future!”
About: I am passionate about my love for animals and enjoy meeting as many as I can. I have several of my own and they usually end up being the highlight of my day. I also foster kitties and work hard to TNR my neighborhood’s strays. Animal welfare is very important to me, and will be my priority when caring for your pets. Refer a friend (have them mention your name when booking with me) and you’ll each get $10 off your next visit. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained. I am almost always fostering cats/kittens, which unfortunately does make me unable to provide care in my own home at this time. I’m a big fan of the Buddy System and bring my partner with me to all new client meet & greets as a safety precaution. Jakob is a Rover-verified sitter and animal lover. He’ll give your pets extra attention while he gives me peace of mind. As far as the pets themselves are concerned, every animal I’ve ever met has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific safety concerns you know of so I can tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
