About: I took care of several family dogs from the age of 10 to the age of 19. I have walked/played with/cleaned up after/fed Australian cattle dog mixes, Australian Shepherd mixes, an American Black Labrador , Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. I'm used to both low and high energy dogs and have also worked with both ESAs and Service dogs. I work part time and my graduate classes are at night or online so my schedule is flexible during mornings, weekends, and afternoons. I can't do overnights or care in my own home due to my pets boundaries and needs. I will follow all safeguards given to me by the client and adhere to all care instructions. Based on the animals energy I will provide the proper enrichment and will always respect the animals boundaries. When I am taking care of your pet I will keep the space as picked up as I found it and will always clean up after the pet including cleaning litter boxes and making sure to pick up on dog walks and in outside play areas. Harnesses and collars will be put on as instructed and I will make sure to keep distance from other animals on walks to protect your pet.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs almost my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am! For the past 5 years, I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention and playtime to sweet senior dogs who need a little more patience and care, I love them all! I also have a big dog back home named Hank, so large breeds definitely don’t intimidate me! Whether your pet is big or small, young or old, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family members just like they’re my own! I am a full time student but my class schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time for visits and time to take care of your pups multiple times throughout the day. One of my biggest priorities when caring for your pets is making sure they feel as comfortable, relaxed, and loved as possible! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always do my best to match the energy and environment they’re used to at home. Whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or simply having someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to do whatever makes them feel most at ease! I understand that being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I want to be a familiar, comforting presence they can count on. My goal is to keep their routines as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I require a copy of vaccines from your vet and your animal to be on flea tick and heart worm medicine to stay. ✨ Why choose me? • I treat every dog like family—snuggles, belly rubs, and playtime are guaranteed. • Safety first: I keep a close eye on all dogs and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. • Reliable communication: You’ll always get photo & video updates so you know your pup is in great hands. ✨ About me: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers cozy naps and gentle attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. ✨ What your dog can expect: • Daily walks, potty breaks, and fresh water • Playtime tailored to their energy level • Lots of love and attention • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment ✨ Extra touches: I’m patient, reliable, and truly love what I do. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog the best care possible. I work full time 8-5, thirty minutes away from my address and have family 5 minutes away if anything come up while I’m at work, I have cameras inside and outside of my home so I can monitor animals when I’m not home. I am also available on weekends if you need an overnight sitter, and can stop in and check on your animals as many times as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard and would require a lease and harness for them to be taken out. This would make me feel better as nothing would happen to them. I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Ford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 352 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Ford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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 use the 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.
