About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life of all sizes. Very patient and friendly with all fur babies. In our home they are apart of my family. I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is very flexible and I am very happy to make appointments to make sure they get the attention your fur babies deserve! I have experience with dogs beings off leashes trained as well as the ones that constantly need leashes so they don’t get into trouble. Playing in the yard or just butt scratches are a staple!
About: Hi, this is Monika! I'm a DevOps Engineer by profession and a pet lover by passion. I work from home full-time, which means your furry friend won't be left alone-ever. During any Rover booking, I don't plan outings or time away. Your pet will have my full attention, care, and companionship all day long. I’m a proud pet parent. My two Shih Tzus are my whole world, and I know exactly how much your furry family means to you. That’s why when you trust me with your pup, I treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. I work 100% remotely, which means your dog will get my full attention throughout the day. No rushing out the door. No leaving them alone for hours. Just all-day playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and cozy companionship. I have a big, secure backyard where they can safely stretch their legs, sniff around, or enjoy a little sun—and if your pup loves walks, I’m happy to take them out for some fresh air and tail-wagging adventure. One thing I want you to know upfront—dogs are never crated here unless they’re already trained and prefer it that way. And they’ll never be left outside other than potty breaks. In fact, they’ll sleep right next to me, just like my own pups do—safe, warm, and snuggled up. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, even for a short while. That’s why I send regular photo and message updates, so you always know how they’re doing. You’ll see the joy on their faces, the comfort in their eyes, and feel at ease knowing they’re in a space filled with love and care. Many pet parents who’ve left their pups with me say it feels like a doggy resort—calm, clean, and full of affection. I keep my home spotless, not just because it matters to me, but because your pet deserves a safe, cozy, and hygienic environment. Here’s the thing—this isn’t just a side gig for me. It’s my passion. Every dog I welcome into my home becomes part of my heart. The time, energy, and love I give far exceed what you’ll ever see on a price tag. Because to me, this isn’t about money. It’s about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home—even when they’re away from you. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to care for your pup like family. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I work remotely full-time as a DevOps Engineer. I’m home all day, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present for the pets I care for—whether that’s letting them out for potty breaks, giving belly rubs between meetings, or taking them for a walk when they need a break (just like I do!). My mornings usually start with feeding and playtime, followed by some outside time in my secure backyard. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check in with the pets—some cuddle time, a little fetch, or just hanging out together. Evenings are relaxed and cozy, with dinner, walks (if needed), and winding down together. At night, the pets sleep with me, so they’re never alone and always feel safe and loved. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, my schedule is built to keep your pet happy, engaged, and cared for around the clock. I don’t take on anything else when I have a booking—your pet becomes my full priority At my home, pets have full access to a clean, cozy, and safe space. I keep a consistent routine of feeding, walks, play, and downtime, and I'm always home, so they get my full attention.when I'm caring for your pet, I pour my heart into making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved every step of the way.

“Kyla is a phenomenal human being and was an amazing caregiver to my horde of animals. ? I looked forward to her detailed visit summaries each morning, while out of town. Any family who books with her should know they are in great hands. We hope to use her services again in the future.”
About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .

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.
