About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.
About: We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern. I work from home and have plenty of time to throw toys and play with the dogs. There is a doggie door and fenced yard to play in. I have a fenced/walled yard with a doggie door. We do not have a pool or anything dangerous in the yard. Dogs are allowed to come and go as they like, unless we are told different by you. We allow dogs on the furniture and in the beds if they like.

I work full-time but have a ton of WFH flexibility! I love spending quality time with snuggly friends and make it a priority to take good care of any pets I'm caring for!

About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!

“Vanessa was fantastic! I found her on Rover and hired her to feed my cat everyday while we were out of town. Not only was she great with my cat, she showed up when she said she would, and she communicated well and responded quickly. I plan to use her services again next time we’re out of town!”

About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.
About: I have experience caring for animals of all kinds and I have administered medication to dogs, cats, and birds. Senior pets are loved and welcome!

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.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
