About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.
“Rachel is awesome! I’ve booked her before, and for this one I booked late and she still accepted which I appreciated! She lets me know when she’s on the way and arrived, takes pictures and videos of them and than send me a picture showing the door is locked. She is absolutely great and will definitely book again!”
About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.
“Our cat Thora loved and really bonded with Jane! Jane sent me pictures and updates that were very sweet and reassuring because she knew we were far away and a bit stressed about leaving her. She was very respectful of our home and left things neat and tidy. We’d definitely hire her again to stay with our furbaby 😊”

About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication reminders, and maintaining their normal routines with care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule in-home visits around my work schedule and prioritize reliable, consistent care with regular communication and updates. My preference is providing in-home visits at the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I can accommodate care in my home for special circumstances when needed.

“Bianca was great with our three pups. Our puppies are really scare when we are not with us, but Bianca was really patient and sweet with them. We received daily photos and updates. We will book Bianca services again.”
“Leah was so great with our dogs. She was incredibly communicative and we trusted her completely with our dogs. One of our dogs needs medication every 12 hours and Leah always messaged letting us know it had been done so we didn’t have to worry. Will definitely be requesting Leah for our next trip!”

“Summer was so awesome!! She is very responsive and took amazing care of our babies!!! She sends lots of pics! We were so amazed at how much she loved our babies! We will definitely be using her again!”


About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with animals in both professional pet care and behavioral settings. As the owner of my own 5 star pet care company, I’ve gained experience managing dogs of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and care needs while providing personalized services including walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. My background also includes working as a behavioral kennel technician, where I developed skills in monitoring canine behavior, managing group play, safely handling reactive or selective dogs, administering medications, recognizing signs of stress, and supporting animals with specialized behavioral or medical needs. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, enrichment, and individualized care, along with the responsibility and communication skills needed to build trust with both pets and their owners. I currently have my own pet care company so I do this full time! I love spending my free time with dogs as it keeps me motivated in my passions for pets! When caring for dogs in others homes I’m very particular on keeping the pups in there schedules and keeping them enriched! Along side taking amazing care of your home, making sure everything is clean and exactly where it was when I got there.

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Okeelanta walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Okeelanta maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Okeelanta 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
