“Curt was easy to work with. I have a big dog that I trusted Curt with and a sometimes difficult reactive dog. It is hard to find someone who is patient with my difficult dog so it was nice to be able to get away for the night and know my dogs were safe!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Use code CHELSP42284 for $40 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in or house sit) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.
About: Hii!! I love all dogs big and small! I currently have a goofy little chihuahua beagle mix and happy golden retriever. I love to take the pups on walks and hikes!! I am comfortable with giving your pet medications, as my pup needs his doggie inhaler daily. My dogs are my best friends and I will treat your pup like he/she is my own:)
About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have the most experience caring for medium-sized dogs, including helping care for Labs, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Blue Heelers. I also have extensive experience caring for cats. I have cared for a variety of cats over the years, including staying overnight to provide care, administering medication, and following special dietary needs. I have personally cared for three cats over the past 10 years, giving me years of experience understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Most of my experience is with family and friend's animals but since having a baby I am looking to fill my day with caring for other's animals even walking dogs during the day. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I am especially flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and providing companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I am happy to work with your schedule and their individual routine. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable care for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. I can administer medications, take dogs for walks, follow specific feeding schedules and dietary instructions, and carefully follow any routines or instructions provided by pet parents. I understand that every pet is different, and I make it a priority to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys their own space, I provide patient, loving care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I've worked with dogs of all personalities - from high energy pups that love long walks to more laid-back or senior dogs who need patience and extra love. I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and always do so with care to keep pets calm and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and comfort so they feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they're with family, not just a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. I build my daily routine around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I'm consistent, dependable, and always make time to stick to each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I care for pets in their home just like you would - keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet's needs and personality so they feel at ease while you're away. I'm respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Multiple years of pet care experience. Specializing with patience in nervous/ anxious dogs but I care for all! I am a loving dog mom that obsessed with my fur baby & will treat yours as my own! I currently work a full time job but I work from home two days a week which gives me more time to watch your pet! I am available weekends & during the week can do early morning, evening, & night time drop ins/ walks. **Please be advised that I work a full time job & am in office 2.5 days a week, this can mean that some days I will not be able to spend the entire day with your pup, please message me with any questions so that we can work something out** I care for your pet in your house as you would! If you'd like, I'll crate your pet upon departure or make sure they are comfortable roaming while you are gone. I provide care in your home so that your pet is comfortable while you’re away. When walking dogs I will make sure all of the accessories you use are used, as well as any other safety precautions I think may be necessary so your fur baby stays close to me & makes it home safely (collar, leash, harness, treats, etc). I promise to make sure to give them a lot of belly rubs, play with them, & let them drool all over me! As a mom of a rescue dog, I understand the patience and gentleness certain dogs need when anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. If your dog falls under this category and has any special needs to be comfortable please let me know ahead of time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Gate
Dana was great. She kept me updated with my dog George . He wasn’t the best and ripped some things off my wall and she cleaned it up for me and made sure he couldn’t get to it again . She even brought in my garbage can which was so thoughtful and helpful . I will definitely use Dana again and would recommend her to anyone needing drop in visits .
Katie was incredible! From the start, she moved her schedule around to fit us in. She even came during a blizzard! She took care of both of our girls wonderfully, always sending us pictures. Katie went above and beyond for us and we would absolutely recommend her !

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 Ocean Gate 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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
