“Caroline took wonderful care of my young guinea pig. She provided him with snuggles and floor time. His daily care directions were followed and I returned to a well fed, clean cage, and lively little guy. Her communication was quick and precise. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again for my guinea pig in the future!”
“I moved out to the area a few weeks ago and was scrambling to find a dog sitter. I downloaded Rover a couple days before I had to leave which is where I found Brittany. She had no problem with my last minute request to dog sit and took great care of my old lady! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of the pets of friends and family since I was in middle school. I mainly specialize in dog, cat, and rodent care. For the past 7 years I’ve worked in positions helping to care for animals in research settings, mainly rodents, rabbits, and pigs. However my biggest love is caring for our furry and not so furry pets at home. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare and always look to ensure any critter under my care has all it needs to live a healthy, fulfilled life. I currently work M-F 7-3:30. I am able to do afternoon/evening walks or house drop/ins if need be. I am free most weekends as well for walks or drop-ins or if necessary overnight care. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare. I always want to see pets and all animals really live long, healthy lives. I’m willing to follow any guidelines a pet owner has regarding their pet(s) and will always be respectful of an owner’s wishes. If I were to stay in a client’s home for an overnight visit I would be respectful of the client’s space and would be as neat and tidy with my stay there as possible.
About: Hello! I have had dogs around me all my life. I’m currently a dog parent to two Chihuahua mix dogs, Bennie and Jet. Both are rescued and very sweet. I have assisted in training hunting dogs for my family and friends. I don’t have any professional experience, but I love dogs and I’m very good at making dogs feel safe and loved. I live in Rochester, MN and work a job that is Monday-Friday 8am-5pm in the office. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I would love to get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I typically work 9am-5pm at the office 3-4 days a week. In the mornings, I take my pups out to go potty and then they tend to come in and go back to bed. When I can I like to come home over my lunch to take them out and play a bit. In the evenings, we play outside if it’s nice and inside if not. My pups are free feeders so they eat when they are hungry and I just fill the bowl back up, this is typically 1/2-1 cup per day for my two chihuahuas. I’ve followed more routine feeding with my dogs in the past but this works best for mine now. My pups will cuddle on the couch with me until bedtime then they sleep in bed with me. I have a fenced in yard with trees for the pups to play in. Good side-walked neighborhood for walks. My house has stairs but I use baby gates for when senior or special needs pets visit. Lots of dog beds and blankets, all the blankets in my house belong to the pups lol.
About: I have been taking care of other people's fur kids for over 25 years and still love doing it. I feel the less stress you can put on an animal the better when having to be away from home. That is why I am so happy to take care of your kids at your home, just to keep everyone at ease. I have a flexible schedule and great with all kinds of animals. Putting your fur kids first with worry free care well your away. I treat your pet as if they were mine own. When I am with your pets they get my full attention, nothing less! I have had the pleasure of owning all different kinds of pets my entire life (38 years) and that helps to make me to be more comfortable/knowledgeable with any type of pet I have in my care. If you have questions or concerns I am open to talk to about anything. I also have references as well to easy your mind before booking me for pet sitting your pets. It is a part of who I am and want to keep doing it as much as I can to reduce stress on the fur kids but also on their humans. I have a flexible schedule and work with each family to do the best I can for them.
About: -Small Pet Care As Well- I have extensive experience volunteering at animal shelters for years, along with personal pet care for individuals. I've cared for pets of various sizes, ages, and abilities, including administering medication as needed. I recognize the unique needs of each pet, and I provide the patience, attention, and care they require. My love for animals ensures I treat every pet as if they were my own. Feel free to message me to talk through your pet’s specific needs and how I can help. Caring for your pet fits naturally into my routine since I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for feedings, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. As a freelance graphic designer, I set my own hours, and I like filling that flexibility with time helping others and their pets. I’m always respectful of you and your pet’s boundaries, rules, and daily routines, ensuring their comfort. I have also worked as a house keeper, so I tidy up every chance I get.
“We are so happy to have had Shurie come by to visit with our cats this weekend. So nice to be able to get away and know that your family is in good hands. We so appreciate Shurie!! She is so nice, and the cats loved her. Thank you so much Shurie, we thank you very, very much!!”
About: Lifelong Care You Can Trust I may not have a corporate resume in pet care, but I have a lifetime of hands-on experience loving and caring for animals. Growing up, my family raised an Old English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Today, my home is shared with two short-hair cats and my two children. My entire daily life is centered around routine, safety, and animal happiness. have a highly flexible schedule that revolves perfectly around your cat's/dog’sneeds. As a full-time online business student and dad, my days are structured but completely open for pet care.Once I finish the morning school and work drop-off at 7:30 AM, my day is yours. I am fully available for drop-ins, feedings, and playtime all morning and afternoon. I just step away briefly for family pickups at 2:15 PM and 3:45 PM, but otherwise, I am studying from home and ready to provide your cat/dog with constant companionship, monitoring, and love. Your home is your cat’s castle, and I treat it with total respect and military-grade reliability. Because my own cat, Nova, suffers from severe anxiety, I am a master at reading feline body language and handling sensitive cats. I know exactly how to walk into a house gently, build trust on their terms, and sneak medication seamlessly into wet food without making it a stressful event. If your cat is more like my other cat, Stella—vocal and demanding—I speak fluent "meow" and know exactly when they are asking for attention, food, or space. When I visit your home for feedings, walks, or check-ins, you can expect:Flawless Routines: Exact adherence to your feeding schedules, water fountain/bowl top-offs, and meticulous litter box scooping (yes, I even know how to maintain and troubleshoot specialized tech like Litter-Robots).High-Level Security: I double-check that doors are locked, windows are secure, and no toxic house hazards are left within reach before I leave.TLC & Play: High-energy toy sessions for the active kitties, or calm, quiet companionship for the introverts.

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.
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 Oronoco 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.
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
