“Angel is genuinely and consistently amazing! This is my third time asking her to care for my elderly cat and dog and showed genuine care and patience for them and their quirks. This was my longest trip away from home, but knowing she was looking out for them made me feel confident and comfortable. You won't regret booking with her!”

“Allison is amazing! Max hid under the bed (as he always does when stangers arrive) during her initial visit. She reached under the bed to let him smell her hand before she left. When she arrived for her first sitting visit, he came out and was as friendly as ever. Max knew, as I did that Allison was a friend. I highly recommend Allison as a sitter.”

“Jacqueline has been amazing!!! She took such great care of my Koko. She followed all of his special instructions, was always on time and took pictures and sent me little notes that he was doing great. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her when I need someone to take care of my cat.”

“Amelia a caring pet-sitter who genuinely loves animals. She stepped in on short notice to care for my kitty for two days and she was diligent, respectful, and attentive to details. My kitty was in good hands with Amelia!”

“Andrea did a great job with our three dogs. This was our first using a service like this, and we were a little nervous. However, Andrea was prompt, responsible, and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 10! I worked with dogs in a facility for daycare and boarding and I enjoyed that. From loving the pets to feeding them giving medication and baths and a bunch of love! I’ve worked with pets my whole life. I have 3 dogs of my own so they are my priority! I have open availability and I’m free for whenever I’m needed! I have a fenced yard. 2 pups of my own that are very friendly and love meeting new friends. I have trails next to where I live that I take my pups to so they can explore. I will accommodate to anything to make sure your baby is all good and that you feel reassured about the safety of your pet!
About: I recently lost my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Harper, who was a huge part of my life. Caring for him through every stage of life, especially his senior years, gave me extensive experience with patience, routines, medication support, comfort care, and recognizing dogs’ individual needs. I am comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and provide a calm, clean, smoke-free home environment. Your dog will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. There are no other animals or children in the home, allowing for a peaceful environment and plenty of individualized attention. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, safety, and trust are part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone dependable, loving, and attentive. As summer comes to an end, I'll be returning to my full-time role as an elementary school principal. During the school year, I'm typically away from home Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If your dog is comfortable being home during those hours—similar to a typical workday—I would love to care for them! Before and after work, your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks (if requested), cuddles, and lots of love. One of the perks of my career is having several school breaks throughout the year. During fall, winter, spring, summer breaks, and long weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to spend significantly more time at home with your pet. If you're looking for boarding during one of those breaks, your dog will enjoy even more companionship and attention throughout the day. My home is safe, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard. Transparency is important to me, so if your pet requires constant supervision or frequent midday care during the workweek, I may not be the best fit. However, if your dog is comfortable with a typical workday routine, I'd be happy to welcome them into my home. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe, caring environment are at the heart of what I do every day—and I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while away from their families. In my home, dogs will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. My home is smoke-free with no other pets or children, which allows me to provide individualized attention and a peaceful environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, routines, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency and communication are for pets, especially seniors or dogs adjusting to a new environment. As a school principal, safety, responsibility, supervision, and communication are part of my daily life, and I bring those same qualities into pet care. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while in my care.

About: I wasn’t allowed to have pets as a kid, so I frequently visited my friends’ houses and play with their animals. I love my kitties and will love on your cats & dogs as if they’re my own! My kitties have FIV so I’m used to cleaning their space and sneaking supplements into their food. I work full time in the afternoons, so mornings are best for me! The earlier the better. I have time to take care of my babies so I’d love to help take care of yours too. I’ll take the best care of your pet in your home! A clean space for a pet to live is so crucial to their health, and I’d love to help you with that.
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 25 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and keep company. I’m currently working full-time as a teacher for Deer Valley School District, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats. I’m very cautious with walking dogs in public. I will always have animals on leashes and making sure that we’re not near any other people or other animals.
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
