About: I don’t just "watch" your dog; I provide an environment tailored to their specific life stage and personality. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to high-energy puppies and seniors alike. For the youngsters, I focus on maintaining your potty training routines and reinforcing basic commands. For the "old souls," I offer patient senior care, including mobility assistance, specialized dieting, and medication administration. Whether it’s a high-intensity walk or a gentle sniff-session, I ensure your pet gets the exact mental and physical engagement they need to feel right at home. Since I work as a server in the mornings, my entire afternoon and evening are completely free to provide attentive check-ins or focused overnight house sitting. As a new father working toward buying a first home for my family, I bring a mature, grounded perspective to every booking, treating your home and pets with the utmost professional respect. Whether it’s managing the high-energy needs of a puppy, providing gentle care for a senior, or simply offering a calm presence to "chill" with your pet after work, I am committed to providing the stable, top-tier companionship your dog deserves. My primary focus is maintaining a secure, calm environment where your pet feels safe in their own familiar surroundings while you’re away. Because I work a steady morning schedule and am dedicated to saving for our first home, I am a grounded, reliable presence who treats your property with the utmost respect. From ensuring all doors are double-checked to keeping a clean, quiet space for your pet to relax, I prioritize a seamless routine that minimizes stress. You can rest easy knowing that your home is in mature hands and your pet is receiving the attentive, high-quality companionship they deserve.
“We had an amazing experience with Karissa who watched our best friend Jango, while we enjoyed boating and hiking in Yosemite. Bottom line, Karissa went above and beyond in all ways, even accommodating Jango’s quirky habits like him not enjoying walking on ANY sort of gravel 😂 and some last last minute adjustments to the schedules. Can't recommend Karissa enough to anyone seeking a trustworthy, caring and dependable dog sitter!”

I ensure to balance that pets receive the same amount of time and attention as do children. I also treat them as if they were people. I allow pets, especially dogs to familiarize themselves with me. Adjust their comfort to my personality's frequency. I allow them to come to me before I make any approach.
“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”
“Shannon is the best! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She made sure they had their exercise, socialized with them. They were 2 very happy dogs. She is very good at communicating so there are no worries while your away. Lots of pics were sent on each visit. I highly recommend her.”
“Keira provided great services for me and my mom’s kitties. She left just the right amounts of food and the litter boxes were cleaned. It was nice to come home to a fresh smelling house after our weekend away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakhurst
Vicki took wonderful care of our two dogs, including our young puppy, while we visited Yosemite. She was kind, communicative, and made us feel confident they were in good hands. It was clear they were treated like part of her family. Knowing they were so well cared for made our trip much more relaxing and allowed us to enjoy places where dogs aren’t permitted. We came home to two happy dogs, and we’re very grateful for Vicki’s care. We’d happily have her watch them again!
I trusted Summer with doing pop-ins on my 5 year old domestic long-hair cat, and I will not hesitate to do so again in the future. Summer provided me with updates and photos to let me know that my precious lil baby was being properly looked after, and getting the attention and playtime I could not provide while away.

- 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.

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.
