About: I have three years of experience dog sitting and walking, along with personal experience caring for both cats and dogs of my own. I have also successfully trained my youngest cat to do tricks such as sit, stand, and “say hi.” Through my pet care experience, I’ve worked with animals of different ages, sizes, and needs, including senior dogs who required extra patience, careful feeding routines, and slower-paced walks. I am also comfortable handling larger dogs, as well as dogs who may need extra support on walks due to special needs, mobility challenges, anxiety, or age-related limitations. I always make sure to adjust my care to each pet’s comfort level, personality, and routine so they feel safe, supported, and well cared for. I am available Monday through Friday! Specifically, Wednesdays I am available from 7am to 12pm and Friday from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Every other day my availability is 7am through 6pm. Feel free to reach out if you need a sitter or walker in a pinch and I will always try my best to fit you in. 30-Minute Dog Sitting Drop-In: I stop by to make sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and cared for with fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Here, is when I’d administer any oral medication (or extra aid based on requests) for your dogs. Every visit is tailored to each dog’s routine and personality making it an experience they won’t forget! 30-Minute Dog Walk: During our walk, I make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and positive engagement while following their preferred pace and routine. I also provide fresh water if needed, reinforce good leash manners, and ensure they return home happy, safe, and content. 30-Minute Cat Sitting Drop-In: I provide your cat with fresh food and water, a tidy litter area, and the right mix of play, treats, or quiet companionship. From social butterflies to independent observers, I tailor each visit to their unique style and can administer oral medications or inhalers when needed.
“Alivia was prompt in responding to all my texts and, when I met her, I immediately sensed her love of animals. I greatly appreciated the pictures she sent of my fur babies while I was away. Alivia was trustworthy and I would not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have cared for my own pets since I was young. Over the years, I have owned and cared for many different types of animals, including Pit Bulls, Yorkshire Terriers, German Shepherds, Bulldogs, Shar-Peis, mixed-breed dogs, cats and kittens, turtles, rabbits, and chickens. Through this experience, I have learned how to understand different temperaments, provide daily care, maintain feeding schedules, exercise pets, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to treating them with the same care and attention that I give my own pets. I have a flexible schedule while attending university, with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. My classes are mostly concentrated during the late morning and early afternoon, so I am generally available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, with additional flexibility on days when I have fewer classes. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I always do my best to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I live in a pet-friendly home with no other pets, which allows me to provide focused attention and a calm environment. My home has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and multiple rooms, giving pets space to relax and feel comfortable. While there is not a fenced yard, there is plenty of outdoor space nearby for leashed walks, and a park is located close to my home for additional exercise and enrichment. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, follow the owner's instructions carefully, maintain regular feeding and potty schedules, and make sure pets always feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Megan communicates very well and does what she says she is going to do. The app is not user friendly for me but Megan is working out the bugs on her end. Rocco is cared for very well and is a changed man. I can see him less depressed since Megan came into his life.”

And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”

He took the time to be very thoughtful and thorough when taking notes.He also communicated with me as well and I know both my pets were very well taken care of while I was gone. Very trustworthy and I highly recommend Gilbert, if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets.”

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 .

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.
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.
