“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
About: Hi there! I'm Kels; lover of all things furry, but especially dogs. I've had dogs all my life. Grew up in a home that fostered often. I tried fostering once and she never left. 😆 I have 2 doodles of my own. A 9 year old labradoodle and a 4 year old golden doodle. I've dog sat for friends and family for years in their home, my own, or regular drop ins. I promise to give your dog real attention and affection. My furs are my life and I will treat yours with as much care as I treat mine. I love sharing pictures of your pets while you're away to give you peace of mind and hopefully a few smiles. I know that's something I look forward to when I am away from my pups. I work full time from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can easily modify my break times for walks, potty breaks, and of course snuggles and playtime. When visiting your home I promise to treat it with respect; valuing your property and privacy. My home offers a fenced in front yard for safe potty breaks, but they will always be monitored when they have access to the yard. For those needing more adventure and space there are 12 acres of grass, trees, and lake to play in. We can discuss placing a GPS fence collar on them if they will have time outside the fenced yard. Safety, fun, and affection are the priorities over here.
“We did an overnight away, and Irelane let our dogs out for us and did a great job. She communicated well, and did all that we asked her to do. When we got home, it was apparent that our dogs had been well cared for!”
“Evelyn/Evi was great with Chayce, she checked in on her several times. She fed, walked and even brushed her. Our dog is scared of fireworks & when Evi checked on her in the evening when fireworks were being fired off she sat with her & gave her comfort. This is the first time we’ve let someone Chayce didn’t know take care of her & she really took a liking to Evi quickly. We received pictures & videos which were nice, we had no worries with Evi. I would highly recommend her for pet care. We will definitely use her again when we need a dog sitter.”

“Taylor was amazing and took care of our Nnedi while we were out with drop in visits, sending us great updates and pictures. Will definitely go with Taylor again in the future!”
About: My love for all animals has been something i have felt strongly about since a toddler. Bringing home every stray as a teen and now working towards opening my very own operation to help house strays and possibly run my own daycare or training service. Everyday i work with dogs. i have lots of experience with all kinds of things with dogs. bathing grooming nail trims , feeding and meds. i have a big fully fenced in backyard with a friendly dog for your pups to make best of friends with. they will enjoy outside time everyday
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
