About: I love dogs so much! I’ve always had dogs since I was young! I currently have a dog, his name is Iroh and he is 1 years old. He is a handful but I love him so much! I’ve given dogs medication so if that is required I got it! I can’t wait to meet your dog(s)! I work full-time so this is my part time job but that doesn’t mean I give part time energy to your dogs! Your dog will get the most energy from me! I live in an apartment and my complex has a fenced in dog park for all dogs and my dog loves it! So your dog will have space to run around and have fun! And in your home I will do whatever I am told to do!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love all animals. I grew up with dogs and have had cats since moving into my own apartment. I love spending time with animals, walking and playing with them and would be so excited to care for your pets. I work in a restaurant so I have a flexible schedule and work non-traditional hours which makes it easier for me to visit animals during the weekdays when others may be busier with work. I also don’t mind last minute requests for walks or drop in visits for feedings! Although I cannot board animals at my apartment, I am open to caring for pets in their homes, making sure that they are safe and comfortable, feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of pats and love!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting regularly for the past three years for three wonderful families! I have experience from energetic labs to mellow mixed-breeds dogs and cats! I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic routines, and giving lots of love and attention! As someone who loves being outdoors, I enjoy long walks and making sure dogs get plenty of movement and adventure. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to get to know their quirks to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos (as much or as little as you prefer) so you can have peace of mind but also know your pet is in good hands. 😇 I'm currently working as a barista and a server, so my schedule can be very flexible and I typically request time off to make time for your pets! I can care for your pet in your home! I feel this is most comfortable for pets as opposed to getting to know a new person and environment simultaneously.
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 energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort 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 fur 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 on 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 fully finished basement with mini splits and air circulation system, perfect for any size dog to enjoy!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and when I turned 18 I even got my own dog who I love and care for daily!!

About: Had a 5 month old pup at aged 9 (also had a dominant cat) taught her basics and more over time until she needed medication due to her old age. Looked after friends senior dog which needed meds with food and their other dog that had special dietary needs including medication 3 times a day. House and dog&cat sat for friends that would go away to France for a long weekends I have plenty of time to give care and attention. I am not working at the moment and in between job maybe this is my calling we have a lot of space in the home and in the yard. We do not have any of our own pets yet, but we are talking a lot about them. We have a large 4ft fenced in grass yard and a large basement to allow for off leash freedom to play regardless of weather. Over the back fence we have active cranberry bogs with loads of open space and smells perfect for long walks. I am a fast walker and happy to cover 3-5 miles on a walk. Any fur-babies that need to stay overnight will be looked after like they are my own. I’ll send lots of pictures and make sure your pet is comfortable with as much attention as it needs.
“Katie was wonderful. She visited Wally at the requested times. She played with him and definitely spent time keeping him company when we weren't there. And, the texts with pictures were so cute and gave us the peace of mind that Wally was being well cared for. We would use her again when we go away.”
About: I started caring for animals back in 2010 walking and pet sitting for my art teacher's dog. In 2016, I began volunteering at a horse boarding facility. I spent a winter there learning how to bathe, feed, turn out, clean up after and care for horses. Since then I have been looking for more opportunities to spend time with animals! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting in the well-being of rescue cats and dogs. We play outside, go for walks, and socialize! General care such as cleaning, laundry, and medication administration are also things I can assist with. I have two beautiful black cats at home named Luna and Cleo. They are very vocal and sweet, and I love spending time with them. As far as my schedule, I work a regular job during the week, and on weekends I volunteer at an animal shelter. Im looking to fill gaps in my schedule by spending more time with animals and gaining as much experience as I can. Weekends and nights are open for me to take jobs helping with other peoples animal friends. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed, and am also comfortable around anxious or stressed animals. The shelter is diligent to keep all the dogs safe from harm by paying close attention to their body language, behavior, and their individual needs.

About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.
About: I have raised dogs, cats and goats and love pets of all kinds, sizes and ages! I am detail oriented and understand that no task is too small or big as each pet has different needs and wants. I am here to make both you and your loved pet comfortable while you're away! I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30-4:30 however I can do morning and late afternoon/evening check ins and walks! Depending on the timing I could possibly to noon check ins. I am a very responsible individual, I remember to keep doors and windows locked, lists and reminders on my phone. I am comfortable with crating. I can offer to take pets to my own home however leashed walks only (no fenced in yard) and we do have a kitten:)
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 13+ years to two wild and lovable Portuguese Water Dogs, so I know all about zoomies, drool, and muddy paw prints! I’m great with high-energy pups, belly rub pros, and picky treat eaters. Whether it’s fetch, long walks, or just good company, I treat every dog like family-and yes, I talk to them like they’re people. 🐾💕 I work as an EMT on Saturday nights, so I’m super flexible during the week and most weekends! Whether your pet needs midday walks, drop-ins, or overnight cuddles, I’ve got the time and love to give. As an EMT, I’m calm under pressure and trained to be reliable and responsible, skills that carry over to caring for pets. I only work Saturday nights, so I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. You can trust that I’ll treat your furry family members with the same care, love, and safety I give my own dogs.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I have 3 boxers, and if you know boxers, that is quite the experience! I love dogs and they bring so much joy to everyone’s lives, so I’m happy to help out a doggy family when I can! I am 27 years old and a first grade teacher. I am free after 6 o’clock on weekdays as I tutor after school but weekends I am typically available for the entire day. I would love to help you with and drop in visits or walking, even during the cold months! I love going on walks, pet cuddles, and more. I live in a nice apartment and we have an outdoor balcony as well. The complex is big and spacious as well so there is lots of space for walking around!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Onset
Jenn is beyond trustworthy and someone I don’t hesitate leaving to care for my babies! She responds almost immediately anytime I message to ask if she is available and is always so kind. You can tell she truly cares about each and every client and I am so thankful we found her! Finley & Gunner love her so much and her help with them has been lifesaving on multiple occasions. She is our first choice when it comes to caring for our dogs and I can’t recommend her enough!!
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Onset 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Onset with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
