“June is terrific with TJ and he loves her. She spends the time with him, not absent-mindedly petting while on a cellphone. I feel confident leaving our fur baby knowing she'll be caring for him. High recommend!”
“Lilly was wonderful! She did a series of drop-in visits with our dog, Kaylin, this week and took excellent care of her. She was always timely, communicated very well, and provided thorough updates along with lots of great photos after each visit. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Kaylin was in good hands. We truly appreciate the care and attention to detail Lilly provided. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Lorrin was great with our 3 kitties (+ chickens and goldfish 😄) while we were gone, I’m sure they enjoyed all the love and attention she gave them each visit and she communicated perfectly each day with lots of photos and updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a sitter!”
“What a lifesaver and super responsible! We had a last minute cancellation on our pet sitter and were away for the weekend and Ariana answered us very timely and jumped in to action. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond for our pets. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.

About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals with many different needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering owner-provided medications as directed, monitoring pets closely, and following veterinary instructions for pets that need extra attention. My animal experience also includes working at PetSmart and years of caring for my own dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m comfortable with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and individualized care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. Before and after work, I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, monitor, and spend one-on-one time with the pets staying with me. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication schedules, exercise restrictions, or other instructions provided by the owner. Safety is always my top priority. I have a spacious home and a large backyard where pets can have plenty of room to play, exercise, and relax. I closely supervise animals and can keep pets separated when needed based on their personality, size, comfort level, or medical needs. Because of my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also comfortable noticing changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, or general condition. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are away from home.

I have a heart for animals and love getting to spoil and play with all the dogs/ cats that I have the chance to meet. I currently am staying at home with my daughter! I was a teacher but now am staying at home full time. Whatever you need I am able to fit your animals schedule into my day! I am able to follow any schedule and rules that are needed to be followed. It is so important to know that your dog is in good hands and taken care of when you are away and I want to be sure that every client knows I will do that for them. I will be sure to love on, play and make sure the dogs needs are met and each client can have an eased mind when they are away.

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 Palmyra stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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. 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.

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.
