“Jared was great. When I first reached out, he got back to me through Rover within a couple of hours. We spoke the next day and set up a meet and great so we could meet him and he could meet the pups. He brought his filfriend Tanya, as she may be helping which I appreciated. We were away for 2 nights and parts of 3 days. When the dogs met him they warmed up very quickly to both he and Tanya, so it was set. We left some written instructions to reinforce what we had discussed and Jared was great. Through the app, he would check in when he was coming and their with our pups. We were going through a heat wave with high humidity and he let me know the conditions in the house, we left the AC on. And I had him adjust, so the dogs were comfortable. Overall, great experience and great job. I will use Jared again when the need arises. Thanks.”
“Quinn went above and beyond to take care of my cats while I was away. She communicated thoroughly when she needed clarification, played with them and took great care of them. Would definitely rebook. Thanks, Quinn!”
About: My life has included dogs for as long I can remember and I have always seemed to read them intuitively, including “problem dogs” that others have difficulty interacting with. I have extensive personal dog handling and grooming experience over the past 25 years and have owned up to 6 dogs at a time. I currently have a 10 year old Chihuahua-mix named Kitty but I have experience training and caring for Border Collies, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Irish Terriers, Wire Fox Terriers, Poodle mixes, Great Danes, and a Wolf-German Shepherd hybrid. I am knowledgeable about canine body language and how to remain calm around anxious/fearful/aggressive dogs as well as how to redirect dogs from potential conflicts. I own and operate an event-services business which runs primarily on the weekends, allowing me to offer dog care Monday through Friday and on certain weekends as available. I am able to care for dogs according to their owner’s needs and requests. This may include administering medication, changing diapers, feeding, walking or just spending time with.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands on experience with large breeds and am confident handling bigger dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and attentive care as they age. I put a lot of love and care into every pet I watch. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry baby, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule where I work from home somedays. My partner also works 5 minutes from our house and is able to help with potty breaks during the day. We spend a lot of time in our yard or walking the canal in nice days and would love a wagging tail to join us. We have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood to go on walks. We love to go to the canal and spend time outside. We have a full finished basement perfect for any size dog to enjoy!
“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Alexa! Not only are the walks consistent and reliable, but the house visits have been an absolute game-changer. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is being cared for in a familiar environment while we’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive to both your pet and your home, I highly recommend her. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Quinn was wonderful! She sent pictures and kept me informed about how my dogs were doing. I think my three dogs were actually disappointed when I came through the door instead of Quinn! Definitely would have her dog sit again!”
“Jen and John provided wonderful care for Scully during their drop-in visits with her. Their notes and pictures were a huge comfort while I was away to know that she was in great hands!”

I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
