“Robert was absolutely fantastic! He cared for my three pets for four days on very short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly consistent, responsive, and reliable the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. As an added bonus, he went above and beyond by bringing in packages and even returning my trash can from the curb—small things that made a big difference. It’s clear he genuinely cares, not just about the pets, but about the whole household. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”

About: I have always had multiple dogs in the household growing up. I have raised and trained many puppies for myself and others. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I typically work 3 days a week as a registered nurse, and my workdays vary from week to week. This gives me flexibility on my days off to care for your pets. I can coordinate my availability with your needs and will always communicate clearly about scheduling. I have 4 fur babies of my own! Two are small and two are medium to large-sized dogs (all can be crated in their own room if need be). They are part of my family, and I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I follow feeding instructions, respect each pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I am happy to discuss any special needs, preferences, or concerns you may have so you can feel confident leaving your pets in my care.
About: I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I raised my two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Cane Corso, from puppyhood through their senior years. They were part of my family for 14 and 11 years, so I have firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life, from energetic puppies and adult dogs to seniors who need extra patience and attention. My experience with dogs actually began much earlier. Growing up, my family had a female French Poodle and a female Labrador, which also gave me experience caring for female dogs, including during their heat cycles. My Golden Retriever and Cane Corso were intact males, so I am comfortable with the additional care and management that intact dogs may require. I also have experience caring for other people's pets. While completing my master's and Ph.D. in Tallahassee, I pet sat for families with dogs of different sizes and breeds, sometimes caring for two dogs in the same household. I handled feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and companionship while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog is a puppy, an energetic adult, a large breed, or a senior, my priority is to provide patient, attentive care and make them feel safe and comfortable while they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible teaching schedule and am home for significant portions of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I am an experienced dog owner, and caring for dogs has been part of our daily lives for many years. I am happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, exercise, and bedtime routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible while you are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I provide a calm, attentive home environment and will follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, large breeds, intact dogs, and multi-dog households. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and individual needs and will keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention.

I've volunteered at the animal shelter and always rescued/saved cats and dogs.

I have fully fenced 6 acres of well maintained land and will play and exercise with your dogs as much as they want. I will send you pictures and keep you updated, so that you don't have to worry about your dog well being. I currently work at home and my schedule is very flexible. I choose my own time/hours, so I'm available at anytime for the pets. I have 6 acres completely fenced and well maintained property.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
