About: I've raised dogs my entire life! Over the last 5 years, I've started house sitting for family friends for upwards of 3-4 weeks at a time, adding cats, bunnies, and birds to the rotation. Currently until the end of June, I will be working about 4 days a week as a substitute teacher. I'm usually out of the house by 6:30a and home around 3:15p. If it's a day where I don't have a job scheduled, then I'm free :) I am very adaptable, reliable, clean and thoughtful when it comes to caring for clients animals, especially in their homes. I will be cognizant of whatever rules and guidelines you lay out for me to make sure your animal is getting the best care!
âTyler was amazing! He answered very quickly on Christmas too, and he was so sweet to Eve and made sure to ask permission before bringing his golden! Iâm glad he did our goldens had so much fun on the walk together !â

About: I have had many petâs growing up and always love taking care of, playing, and having fun with my dogs. As of last year I started giving my time to a near by boarding and day care kennel and have absolutely loved it!!! I am currently a graduate student and working an internship which allows me to care for animals in the mornings and late afternoons. The days I do have class I have marked myself unavailable. I have a fenced in yard and three very friendly dogs who love to run and play! My dogs love to go on walks which I hope I have the opportunity to do with yours as well or play in the yard!

About: I have experience with working dogs, companion dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other animals. I have done training with dogs from basic obedience up to recreational agility, I am an active person who is more than happy to provide physical and mental energy to your dogs, and I am very educated on mental stimulation/enrichment to help your animals thrive. I do not get squeamish around insects/invertebrates, so I have no problem feeding your animals or taking care of your colonies. If your pet has care needs that aren't standard (or if you are very specific about the way your pet is cared for), leave me a note or step by step in texts. I am more than happy to help you and your pets with any of their care needs. While I do work, I have a flexible schedule that allots me time to work with you and your pets! I am always happy to discuss scheduling with you. In a clients home, I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to care for the pet. Walks on a routine schedule set by the client, feeding at set times, with several opportunities for play/enrichment as set by the client. I have no issues cleaning litter boxes or handling animal waste. Ensuring that your pets don't have any stressful scheduling changes is one of my top priorities.
About: Growing up as a child, I have always been around and loved animals. My experience in pet care is from having different pets of my own and volunteering! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to play and cuddle with your pup! I am available daily for sittings and walks. I will follow pet owners instructions, communicate very often, and send lots of pictures. Your home and pets will be treated just like my own!

About: Iâve been the go-to pet person in my circle since I was 10 years old! What started as helping out neighbors has grown into a lifelong passion for animal care. For over 10 years, friends and family have trusted me with their most important family members because they know I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, Iâve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Whether your pup needs a high-intensity play session or a calm companion to lounge with, I adapt my energy to what they need most. Pet care is my full-time career, so your pets are my #1 priority. Because I don't have a typical 9-to-5, I have a completely flexible schedule. Iâm available for mid-day walks, early morning feedings, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or constant companionship throughout the day, I can be there. In your home: I strictly follow your pet's existing routine to keep them comfortable. I am vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping harmful items out of reach. In my home: I have two pet-friendly setups. Depending on your pet's personality, I can host them in a lively home with my two friendly dogs for socializing, or in my second pet-free home if they prefer a quiet, one-on-one environment. Outdoors: I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and always do a quick 'paws-check' on the pavement to ensure itâs not too hot for a walk."

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Petersburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 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.
