About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
About: As a proud dog owner myself, I bring genuine love and energy to every pet I care for. I understand how important your fur baby is to you, and I treat every dog like my own — with patience, attention, and lots of playtime. Your pup is in great hands! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the day to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m available midday and afternoons, making me a great fit for dogs who need midday check-ins or walks. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with my own friendly, socialized dog — so your pup will always have a playmate! I keep a safe, pet-proofed space and treat every dog like family.

I'm available during the weekdays 6-10 and the weekends all day . I'm pretty easy-going get along with mostly everybody. Flexible hours and have a car. I could take care of two dogs at a time. Thanks I can take care of your pets after work and the weekends. I absolutely love pets. I lived with them most of my life and care for them. You own home I'll take care of your pets.

About: As a lifelong pet owner and proud beagle mom, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your fur baby. Growing up with pets my whole life has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, and what makes each pet feel safe and loved. I treat every dog I care for like my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime. You can expect frequent photo updates and a happy, well-cared-for pup when you get home! As someone who works from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches — I'm always nearby for cuddles, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I structure my work schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they get regular walks, meals, and plenty of attention. Your pet will feel right at home! I'm comfortable caring for pets in both my home and yours, though I prefer to stay in your home so your pet can remain in their familiar environment with their own toys, bed, and routine. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they stay in a space they already know and love. In your home, I treat everything with the utmost respect — leaving it exactly as I found it. If hosting in my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and cozy environment where your pet will feel comfortable and loved. I'm attentive to pet-proofing, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and always supervising playtime. Your pet's safety is my number one priority!
“Samantha was so great! The first time leaving a recently diagnosed cat with diabetes and she made me feel comfortable. She was a great communicator and sent pictures. She was so kind and patient with my finicky cats. I look forward to having her back again!”
About: Please read my availability before booking :) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dogs and cats, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers for years, and I truly enjoy caring for animals like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care possible and treat your furry family members with the same attention and affection I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work in a medical office Tuesday-Friday 7:30am-5pm. Though I am able to house sit these days, I am unable to let them out during the day while I am at work. Saturday-Monday I am free to give all my attention to your pets! I am very energetic, just like your pups. I love to walk with or without a dog. If I am pet sitting, I am very good at sticking to directions so I can care for your animals exactly how you want them to be cared for while throwing in a couple extra play times!
About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve always been an animal person and will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. I can relax with them, walk around your neighborhood with them, play with them- whatever they need. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits to check in on your dogs, ensuring they have food, water, and plenty of attention while you are away. I will take both, your needs and your best friends’ into account and accommodate the best way I can to ensure I am providing what works for you and your pup.
“Annabelle was very caring for our pet and was very communicative about any questions or issues. She did everything to make sure our pet was taken care if while we were away. Thank you!”
About: Hello! I am a stay at home mom with a 1 year old and a 3 year old who is looking to help out dog sitting while I pause my nursing career. I have a 1.5 year old yellow lab named Callie who is a sweetheart and loves to play with other dogs. Both kids are very respectful of dogs since they both have a lot of experience with ours. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat-happy to give references and chat! The first half of my photos are all dogs I dogsat through Rover and some of my own dogs! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 1 and 3 year old so I have a lot of flexibility. We spend a lot of time outside which would include any dog we are sitting for. We have a large yard and our home is dog proof (mainly due to having a baby hah). I treat every dog like it’s part of the family-he or she is allowed to come on the bed, couch, etc.
About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix. My dog likes to play at times, but at other times wants to have her space. Our house is like a home away from home for visiting pets!! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
About: I am not in a place to financially support my own pet right now, but I am currently living without a pet in my house for the first time since I was 6 and I miss them dearly! By hiring me, you would not only be filling the dog shaped hole in my heart, but you would receive care you can count on. I am currently off for the summer from school, so my schedule can easily adapt to fit pretty much any needs! Once school starts back up, I am available weekends and after school hours. As a teacher, I am used to being entrusted with the safety and wellbeing of upwards of 15 students at a time. I take my responsibility to you and your pets just as seriously as I take my responsibility to my students and their families. When they are in my care, they are my first priority, always.
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
“Great and professional! Sergio checked in frequently when my whole family was out of town for a wedding, really made me feel happy to know my cats with medical issues were in good hands.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 11, I have had 6 dogs at a time before all different sizes and breeds. I love all types of dogs. I am currently a college student but I commute to school so I can take care of the dogs in the mornings and weekends. I can watch dogs over night as well.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .

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.
