“If I could leave 10 stars I would. Upon booking request she immediately set up a meet and greet. She understood my anxiety of leaving my pets for the first time in a few years. Joyann was great at communicating & reporting updates about my pets, my home was safe in her care as well. In between drop in visits I could see my pets were happy and relaxed. This is my first experience not only using Rover but any sitter, Joyann made it possible for us to enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be booking for any future plans.”

“EXTRAORDINARY!!! I cannot recommend this pet sitter highly enough. She followed every instruction perfectly and showed an incredible level of compassion, kindness, and attention to detail. What stood out most was how genuinely invested she was in making sure the dog was cared for and comfortable. She even went above and beyond by providing food from her own supply to ensure the dog's needs were met. Her thoughtfulness, reliability, and love for animals were evident in every interaction. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing the dog was in such caring hands.”

About: I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a little girl. Sometimes I think we don’t deserve them 🥹 I have no special skills other than a huge heart for animals 🐾🩷 I am retired and I am available every day except for every other weekend I am out of town. I have my own transportation and I am very responsible. I have a fenced yard and a nice big backyard. I own a 3 year old Labrador mix who loves everybody 🙂 and loves to play.
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 4 years old, and I currently share my home with a high-energy German Shepherd. Having a large breed has given me hands-on experience with all dog sizes and personalities. I’m not just a sitter; I truly enjoy the training process and understand the importance of structure and mental stimulation for a happy pup. Whether your dog needs a long, disciplined walk or some extra help practicing their 'sit' and 'stay,' I’m happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own, ensuring they feel safe and tired out by the time you get home! I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. I can easily work around your specific timing requirements, whether that means midday walks, early morning check-ins, or being available for last-minute requests. My goal is to provide a consistent routine for your dog that fits perfectly into your lifestyle. Safety is my top priority. When walking your dog, I am always vigilant of our surroundings and keep them on a secure leash at all times. If we are in your home, I ensure all doors and gates are double-checked. I have a German Shepherd of my own, so I am very comfortable handling large, powerful breeds and ensuring they stay calm and safe in public spaces.

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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
