About: My name is Julia and I am 22 years old, I work part-time at a pet store and have a very flexible schedule, so I have a lot of free time! I'm also in school currently for Wildlife Management and Conservation! I have 2 guinea pigs named Mocha and Maple, they're both a little over a year, so I am open to pet sitting any exotic babies if needed as well! I currently work part-time, but I am available every day except for Sundays unless it's after 6! I would be happy to discuss what would work best for you! My schedule may change around a bit because of school, but it has been pretty consistent the past few months, so it wouldn't be too much of a change! If you have a list of directions that you would like for me to follow, I would be more than happy to follow it! They're very helpful for me to remember everything, and it can also help give you a peace of mind as well. I care for them like they're my own!
“Lauren did amazing with my four month old puppy! I’ve had a struggle trying to find a good sitter for her but I trusted her completely! She gave photos and very detailed notes throughout the drop in that made me feel comfortable. I’ll be using her in the future!”
“Once again, Alexis was amazing with our 4 cats. She went above and beyond, cleaning up a mess the kitties made and completely changing their litter box when there was an odor. She is the best and we will continue to use her for future trips when our kitties need to be looked after! Thanks Alexis!”

I am a retired nurse, and I’m able to administer shots if necessary to animals such as diabetics. I currently have my own business called Joanne second home.

“Nicol was amazing! Our dog has some medical issues and Nicol was so kind to him and followed our instructions to the letter. You can tell how much she loves dogs and she was not at all intimidated by his health needs. We felt very comfortable having him in her care. She even sent us photos and updates while she walked him.

I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
