About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, basic grooming, administering routine care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to treat them just like I would my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet-care needs. I’m also flexible with morning, daytime, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each owner. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and always keep a close eye on pets while they’re in my care. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Auriel was absolutely wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and very mindful of the rules I had in place. She made time to meet up with me beforehand and kept me consistently updated about my cats while I was away. Both of my kitties clearly adored her — it showed in the sweet photos she sent throughout her visits. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. I’ll definitely be using Auriel again and recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I have owned and cared for my own dogs my entire life. I have raised two sweet Shih Tzus (Teddy & Luna) from age one into their senior years, and I provided dedicated, daily care for my beloved Golden Retriever (Foster) when she developed health conditions. I bring patience, gentle handling, and strict attention to your dog's specific routine.❤️ Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I dedicate my time to pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, offering open flexibility from morning through early afternoon. I easily accommodate your pup’s midday potty breaks, feedings, and peaceful walks without rushing. My drop-in visits are all about keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and pampered in their own home. I take time to refresh water bowls, follow your exact feeding routine, let them out for potty breaks, and give plenty of loving cuddles and affection. I always ensure your home and gates are securely locked before leaving, and I send sweet photo updates with every visit.
About: I am a dog owner for the last 7 years (female rescue, 50lbs, lab/retriever.) Before her, I had cats my whole life. My pup is a part of my family and I would treat yours with the same care and compassion. I work from home, live in a duplex and I have a backyard that is mostly fenced (your dog would stay on a leash back there), and I live right next to Dreher Park where we could go for walks 1-2 times/day. Let's do a meet and greet! I work full time from home, and have lots of flexibility for walks and pets. In the evening, we take walks in Dreher Park right next door. Life is quiet around here. No smoking. I'll be here with them all day and can take them to the backyard or for walks in the park. I have a 50lb rescue that has been described by boarders as an alpha female, so she may get barky at first but it ends there.
“If my dogs could talk they would say “ where’s Patrick?” They LOVED him! My Malinois bonded with him and he was effective with his ability to pack lead. Patrick has a lot of experience as a dog trainer especially big dogs and worker dogs , which was very important to us. He exercised them and took wonderful care of them. We will most definitely book Patrick again. Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe, happy, and entertained. He is dependable, punctual, and very personable. Thanks Patrick”
“Jessica is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and patient. She was able to give Starsky his insulin beautifully. I will use Jessica going forward, she has allowed me the freedom to travel again!”
“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.
“Crystal was amazing, It was my first time with her and she was great! I wouldn't think twice hiring her again! She's punctual, attentive to detail, and Onyx loves her! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: My whole life there’s always been a furry member of my family. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve given medication when needed also very careful with reactive/timid dogs. I work part time so I’m free a majority of the time. Rover will be a fun addition to my schedule. My work allows me to adjust my schedule with any future bookings I may have. Si hablo español también 😌 The community I live in is fenced off from the main road. There is a dog friendly play area in my community as well which is where I plan to do any off leash activities, I like to make sure the play area is empty (usually is). I also have 2 small children in my home but they’ve been around dogs their whole lives so they know how to act with animals and how to treat them with respect
About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: If you want your dog to feel at home, this is the place, I would take good care of your dog like is mine. I have grown around dogs all my life. I would like you to be sure that your dog is in good care . We love to take walks and play with our furry friends. Do not hesitate on giving me the least detail about your dog. Having your dog safe and happy under my care is what I am here for. I will communicate and send pictures to you update while your furry angel is under my care. I believe it is very important for your furry friends to feel at home, safe, and loved, on your way back I hope both of you feel that you had a great time.
About: Experienced and reliable pet lover, recently moved from the Hamptons to Florida. I’ve cared for dogs for years and love treating every pup like my own. Your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-loved while in my care!
About: I’ve dog sat dogs from under 10 lbs to over 100 lbs. I am a Foster Dog Dad for Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. I have fostered dogs for them almost 90 lbs with perfect personalities and healthy to dogs weighing 15 lbs who have issues with marking and three different medications they are taking. I work full-time but I go home for lunch and I’ve brought my dogs that I have fostered to work with me if they have separation anxiety. Play time after work. Going on walks upwards of 2 miles. Lots of fun play time on the weekends. I care for my fosters in my home. They have access to toys and plenty of space to move around. I don’t crate the dogs I’ve fosters. They get treated like a dog would be treated by their owner. Lots of love, attention, and care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
I book Lisa over and over again because she’s so reliable and great with my cat Sweet Pea. She’s very attentive. She plays for the full 30 minutes with her each visit, tidies up the litter box and feeds her twice a day. Sweet Pea loves her and I feel very confident traveling knowing that Lisa is taking care of her. I highly recommend Lisa - she’s wonderful.
This is the third time we asked Melissa to care for our two cats...she has been fantastic for us! She allows us to leave for a trip knowing that our cats (and the house) are in such wonderful, caring hands. Her communication is great, emailing her interactions with the cats, photos, and updates everyday. I am so happy we found Melissa and will absolutely contact her for our next trip!
Kirsty is truly an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, responsible and completely focused on her duties. She was on time everyday, kept me updated with texts and pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell that she cared about my pups and took her responsibilities seriously. She was also very friendly and seemed genuinely kind. I highly recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable and caring dog sitter.
Andrea did an amazing job taking care of Loki! He clearly loves her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, and responsive throughout the entire stay, and even went above and beyond helping me deal with a few packages that were accidentally dropped off incorrectly at my apartment. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Andrea again!
I’m so grateful my friend recommended Susana. I was very nervous to find a sitter I could trust so I can resume traveling. Susana was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I felt I could trust her right away! I now feel more comfortable leaving Baby Girl in good hands. I can’t wait to have them be good friends in future visits!! I recommend Susana to anyone who fears for the care of your pet. She is truth worthy and knowledgeable. BOOK HER!!!
I was nervous leaving Lucy alone, Shyanne was amazing and made me feel so much better. Shyanne provided me with detailed updates every drop in visit and followed all of the directions for her food, and Lucy looked so comfortable and happy in the photos. Shyanne will be the first person I contact next time I leave town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
