About: Aside from owning dogs my entire life, I have years of experience taking care of pets. I accept any type of pet and all ages. I am a certified dog trainer. I also worked at a veterinary office and dog grooming. I have certification in pet CPR and first aid so I am able to handle emergency situations. I can administer medications and provide any medical care if needed. I am very flexible. I make my own schedule to accommodate everyone's needs. I can be available 7 days a week pretty much at any time. I will come to your house whenever days/times needed. I provide potty breaks, feedings, and of course play time which can include short walks, a game of fetch, or just sitting with them on the couch for pets and snuggles. If there is anything you need other than pet care, I can do that as well. Examples include, bringing in mail or taking out garbage, or watering plants.
About: I have a true passion for animals and animal care. I believe that they are so special to us and deserve to be treated as such! Since I was a child, I have been surrounded by so many animals- from cats and dogs to exotic pets! I strongly believe in rescue and have even worked with rescues to help get stray cats out of US Steel and other places. I am currently working full time M-F, but hold a flexible and open schedule. If it means the comfort and health of an animal, I am willing to spend any time that is needed to deliver the best experience. I currently have 3 cats that are mischief-makers. I am used to blocking animals from darting out of doors, getting into cabinets, trying to eat things they shouldn't, jumping places they shouldn't, and all of the other shenanigans they get into. Animal safety and well-being are at the TOP of my priority list.
“We have had Leah come to our house for both overnight stays and drop in services. She is a great caretaker, and easy to communicate with. She is mature and responsible. We are grateful that we found her!”
About: I have always been an animal person. I am experienced in giving medication, house training and baths. I have even have given a pet ivs once when they were I'll. I am available all day. If I need to leave my house it is no more than 20mins and I will notify you if wished. I have a medium size fenced in back yard which has plenty of playing space. I also have a water feeder that provides water 24/7.
“Caitlin was everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. Our dogs warmed up to her right away. She was so conscientious and caring. We had no worries with our diabetic dog and her ability to administer his Vetsulin. We will definitely request her in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Cassidy. I have been watching dogs for many years! I started in high school and now own my own dog, Mako! He is a rescue who I love dearly! I have watched all types of animals, from fish to horses! I am a senior at Slippery Rock University, and I run our Western Equestrian Team! I truly love animals and want to help others with theirs! I am a full-time student, but I have many open times where I am able to commit to watching your animals! I am done with classes every day by 11 am and have time available before that as well to make sure your pets are well taken care of! I own my own dog, Mako, whom I have time for each and every day to make sure he gets the best care! Each day, I ensure my dog gets the care he needs! He goes to the dog park every morning as well as walks daily when the weather cooperates! I make sure to add snuggle time as well, where he gets to sit with me while I complete any homework throughout the day!
“Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!”

- 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.

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 .

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.
