About: I have had my own pets, cats and dogs, since I was very young and I have watched my family and friends animals for about 2 years now. They can rely on me to care for their animals when they are away from home for short or long periods of time. I take caring for others animals very seriously, and having a dog of my own, I understand how crucial it is to care for every one like your own. I graduated college in May 2026 and I am attending grad school starting Septemebr 2026. Between May and September I have full availability to care for pets, with no other commitments at this time. I have a big yard at my home, in the country where my dog roams. I always watch her because we do not have a fence, but sometimes we put her on a long leash to where she can run just as far as we would like. I am comfortable with leashing dogs. I have a cat that I adopted from the shelter as well. She was pregnant unexpectedly when I got her, so I helped her through prengancy, give birth, and now I have cared for the kittens as they are growing up and weaning off of their mom. I can also put the animal in a kennel if needed. Whatever is needed, I can make it possible!

About: I provide dependable pet care services including drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and administering medications if needed. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their routines and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ve grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, cattle, rabbits, and turtles. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident working with animals of all sizes and temperaments. My studies in Animal Sciences at Purdue University have also strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend quality time with each pet. I’m most available in the evenings and weekends, but I do my best to accommodate different needs. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable care and treating every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I prioritize making time for each animal I care for. While I do have a few part-time jobs, my schedule is flexible and I am especially available during evenings. I’m able to adjust my availability as needed and can be reliable for consistent care, drop-ins, or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I check in on animals at a minimum of twice a day, and more frequently when needed, to ensure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and environment, making sure they have clean spaces, fresh water, and plenty of care and attention. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

About: I have had animals all of my life and have cared for them immensely. My family and friends say I have a special way with animals. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost 2 years and got lots of experience caring for dogs there as well as opportunities to sit outside of it which has become a huge part of my life. I have knowledge and experience on all sorts of problems that may arise in both cats and dogs including cpr. I am currently a full-time purdue student who takes most classes online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks so you can guarantee your fur baby will get some long peaceful and smellful walks! So far I have done both in-home and in my home. I make sure to have a specific wake up sleep schedule so my animals and the ones I have watched have a routine and care. As I mentioned before I love walks… so walks are guaranteed! In the clients home I make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to the pet as I would my own or in my own home!
“Mariana did a great job caring for Cosmo - taking him out for walks and to do his business. She also made sure he got his meds and followed up and got our house key back to us in a timely fashion.”

“Shadae was very communicative and attentive to mine and Odessa’s needs. I could feel the love she has for her own pets carry over into her care for Odessa. She went the extra mile to ensure Odessa was comfortable. This was the longest I had been away from my pup and I could NOT have asked for a better person to watch over her. 1000/10”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from a very young age. I’ve always thought that I liked spending time with animals more than people. And have always had a love for them. :) I work a part-time job that feels full time but that’s because I work with the public, however I’m trying to switch to something more flexible. Evenings work best for me but knowing ahead of time I can do mornings too. My cats have free roam as it’s equally their house, however I can put them away. If it’s your home I can do whatever is asked for me. For outside I have a lot of land but it’s open.

About: Six years of experience and 5 star ranking as a dog walker on Wag! Passionate about caring for pets and ensuring the pet’s health and safety! Currently I am transitioning roles/only working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I love taking time for pets—I often schedule it into my routine :) I will gladly ensure that your home is well cared for and I respect your space! I’ve worked for several years as a dog walker / done overnight visits—I always leave the space in great condition! I will clean up after your pets and ensure no mess is left!
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years. The biggest skills I have are being able to spend extra time with the animals to make them feel loved while you are away. I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.
“Our beloved but skittish orange tabby was in great hands with Beth while we were away! She took the time to make sure she saw our cat every day even though she has a tendency to hide. Beth is such a great sitter, will definitely use again!!”


About: I have been pet sitting for family friends and people in my home town for multiple years. I have experience caring for as many as 6 animals at one time. I also have experience with elderly dogs that need more attention. I have spent time around dogs and cats my whole life. I also have experience with dogs who need medication. My child hood golden retriever is prone to seziures and has medication twice a day. I have watched her for weeks at a time. I do work tuesdays, wednesday, thursdays, and every other saturday but I can make time for your pups or cats! I currently work part time; tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and every other saturday. Willing to find a way to work around to fit your needs! I work usually a 9-5/8-4 schedule I prefer watching pets in owners home so that they can be comfortable and in an environment that they are familiar with. Down for walks with your babies or anything that they need !
“Marissa was so helpful! I ran into a problem during my booking and she was so flexible and communicative during the process of getting everything straightened out. I’m so grateful that my cat was well-looked after while I was out of town!”

“Ella took care of our two pets, a dog and a cat. She is very professional, always on time, and also very reliably kept us updated throughout. We were very glad to have had her look after our animals!”

About: Ever since I was a little girl we have always had a dog in the house so, when I turned 18 I adopted one of my own but after 16 1/2 years of loving her, I had to say good bye. Thus, sparked my motivation to help others care for and love their pet(s) when they’re in need. I have experience with puppys, potty training, leash & clicker training among other things! I love to execute play time and know the importance of expending energy. The dogs I have trained are very well mannered and learn to behave well around people and other pets & listen to commands. My friends rely on me often to dog-sit and I’ll often care for & hang out with their pets while they’re at work or out of town. I have experience administering medicine and taking care of them when they’re sick or recovering from surgery as well. I work from home and this leaves me with plenty of time to take care of your pet and expend their energy with play time and walks. Please let me know if there are any commands or tricks you are working on so that I can do the same. I am available for boarding and house-sitting during the week and during weekends. I do not currently have any pets so my attention will be focused on yours solely! Living so close to Sloans lake and various dog parks means that your pup(s) are getting great exercise and outdoor time (unless it’s too hot or cold for them). When it is too warm to be outside for too long I am making sure your pet(s) are staying hydrated and we stay active inside playing fetch, tug, and other fun games!

About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oxford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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. 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.
