“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Hazel while I was out of town. Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Emma was amazing with our dog while we were away on vacation! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond. We received photos and updates at every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Dolly was well cared for and loved while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emma again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”

About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”

“We are so lucky to have Rachelle. She’s incredibly dedicated and really takes the time to focus on our crazy puppy. She makes sure he gets all his play time and potty breaks, and works on his training also. She always keeps us in the loop, makes sure we are on the same page with routine/training and sends updates everyday. We would 100% recommend!”


About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats as a pet parent and my family and friends go to pet sitter . I’ve had dogs since I was a child, welcomed my first cat in my early 20s, and today I share my home with two dogs and two cats. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am off weekends, work remotely two days a week that I can place where I need. When I’m in office I drop back in around lunch time anywhere between 11-1 depending on the needs of my guests to feed, play, and provide bathroom breaks. Your pet will have plenty of room to run and play in my large, fully fenced backyard, along with lots of toys to keep them entertained. My own dogs are beloved indoor family members, so they’re never left outside unattended for extended periods and your pets will receive the same level of care and attention. I believe pets are family, so they’re welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. My dogs enjoy eating together, but I understand that some pets prefer their own space during mealtime. I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you’re away.
“Tereasa is great with our dogs! She is reliable and a great communicator. She lets you know how the drop in visit went and provides plenty of pictures of her visit. Highly recommended!!”

About: I’m very caring about the animals I watch and I make sure they get the attention they deserve. I love being active with them too. I have to get up early for school so I can go on my way there. Or I can go in the evening after sports. I make sure my pets are fed, let out a lot, and making sure they get a lot of attention. Also, getting lots of treats.
“My shy girl still loves Whitley! I’m looking forward to being completely comfortable with the care my furbabies will get-cat meds and all-during my next trip because of Whitley.”

Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care, I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take them on walks or let them out for bathroom breaks, provide playtime and affection, and give any medications according to the owner's instructions if needed. I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning food and water bowls, and respecting the client's space. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I have yet to meet one that didn’t like me. Every dog I’ve had, was my best friend. I loved them endlessly. I don’t have any professional experience, but I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I currently work full time for Amazon and I’m not in school. I work overnights so I’ll be available almost all day! I’m usually pretty flexible just let me know about 2 hours in advanced or as soon as you can. I doubt I would be able to provide home services since I still live with my parents but if this opportunity arises I do have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. But for my clients home I would treat them like my own dog. Love them and play with them or just let them relax. Whatever the dog likes to do
“Steven is truly amazing! He showed so much care and attention to our 3 dogs. He is excellent with communication and we will definitely continue using him. I trust him with my dogs care and the safety of our home as well!!”


About: I have owned dogs my entire life, my family used to breed dogs, so I am used to all ages, I also have housesit for people with dogs and horses and cats since I was 17 years old. I am a stay at home Mom looking for some kid of work, so I do have a lot of free time to help care for your furry little babies! I have a reliable form of transportation, so I am able to get to your house to let your fur babies out and spend a little bit of time with them, I also consistently carry treats and poop bags, and I have a plethora of my own leashes and harnesses, so I am fully equipped to walk your fur babies!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. I’ve had the pleasure also of helping my mother with foster pets and training my own dog, Roxi from a pup. My husband and I love hanging out with our fur babies by going on hikes (now short walks around the block), cozying up on the couch together. Our family includes Roxi (14 yo dog), Winnie (1 yo cat), and our elder bearded dragon, Killa (15 yo). When taking care of the pets at our home, I make sure all the animals have been fed and have full & clean water bowls. Cleaning the litter box, and making sure Winnie has wet food in the morning. I give my Roxi baths when needed and give her daily medication. When I take care of pets at a clients home, I make sure they are fed, have water and I will either play with them outside (weather permitting), go on walks, and play or cuddle inside on the couch. For dog walking: I will great your pet with love as I’m sure they’re sad your away, then let them out to play (if allowed) to stretch the legs, or directly take them out for a stroll (rain or shine) unless bad weather. I have a towel to dry if needed. I’m very experienced with dog walking given my past experiences volunteering with local animal shelters such as AAF and AFHS. Currently working part time and looking for income taking care of animals, I’ve had a passion for taking care of care of animals like family. I would like to fill my time while looking for a full time job by taking care of my community four legged friends. I respect the pet parents home by leaving it the way I found it, clean up any accidents I see, and inform owner if any concerns that arise.

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.
