About: I have taken care of animals since I was 11 years old and I absolutely love meeting new people! My friends and family always refers me as the “crazy cat lady” because I have 3 cats of my own! Currently have flexible and open availability for your pet sitting needs! Send me a message and I can help! Please let me know at least 2 days ahead of time if you need to make any last minute changes! I make sure if pets need to be leashed that it happens before going outside or leaving the house! I also always clean up after each animal to ensure cleanliness in the neighborhood!
“Aliyah is an exceptional puppy walker and great person in general. She came to meet and walk my girls very last minute and was very positive the entire time. We even had a slight hiccup and she remained calm and professional! Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“This was the first time we booked service with Hannah. We were very impressed by her performance, we found everything clean and in order, exceeding our expectations. We will definitely book her again and recommend her to our friends.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love and care for dogs, which stems from my experience with my own one-year-old puppy🐶 I successfully potty trained him, and I treat him as if he’s my child, with patience, kindness, and respect. I never use negative language (ex. Calling him a bad dog) or harmful methods because I believe words and actions can deeply affect a dog’s emotional well-being. I ensure every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and valued, and I take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities🐾 Accepting bookings for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Years’ Eve and New Years!🎄 Other than that, I work an 8:30am to 5:30pm job from home, and I work in office Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have a Havanese little boy who weights 15 pounds and is so sweet, loves to play around and is goofy🐶. I used to put him in his crate to sleep but noticed he LOVES being under the bed or next to me, so for him, crate means timeout haha! When it comes to your dog needs, if they’re used to stay in a crate, that will definitely be an option, if not, then they will stay indoors while I ensure they’re taken on walks throughout the day😊
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
Alexander was an absolute dream! He was incredibly patient and caring with our cats. He even cracked the code with our grumpy older cat who doesn’t like to take his pills, which no one else has been able to do. He left very thorough daily updates with great photos of our boys. We could not have been happier with him and will definitely be repeat clients.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

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 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.
