“Joanna was the best possible choice we could have made. When things fell through for a sitter right before our big family road trip she came to the rescue and helped us out so much. She loved our doggos just like they were her own and treated them just as good, if not a little better due to all the walks, then we would have! Definitely our go to for the next time we need a little help”

About: My family had puppy dog named Hazel who we had for about 3 years. I used to play fetch with her in the backyard when I’d come home from school when I was around 10. I’d help with baths, walking her, my mom taught me how bring her inside when I was home alone doing homework, she behaved great and protected me well. A few years later, she passed from choking while eating something that I think had a bone in it and that was the first experience of heartbreak/loss. A few years after that, I adopted my current pet cat on my birthday, Ace, who I love so much. I’ve always loved animals and give pets to dogs whenever I have permission to, my best friend has many dogs so when I go over her house, I get all the cuddles and get drooled on, which I’m used to at this point. I love watching dog training videos and educating myself as I get older so when I finally get a dog again, as an adult, I want to be prepared and educated on how to protect their health, feed them properly and keep them safe with proper nutrition, exercise and training. I would personally love to get myself a Doberman or German Shepherd (Like Hazel was). I often go to my aunts house who has multiple chunky french bulldogs and help her in anyway I can, I enjoy how sweet dogs are and would love to help do any training techniques you’d love your little doggo to be working on while you are away. I am also in the process of my goal of losing 100lbs! So this helps me get the exercise I need while doing something I’m passionate about! Weekday and Weekends for now, preferably during the Morning & Afternoons on Weekdays and anytime as long as there is a day notice beforehand so I can clear my schedule just for your pet. Not currently doing pet sitting or boarding at my own home, maybe I will be more likely to in the future but I’m not sure yet.

About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Love, Now Sharing It Through Rover Hi! I’m Isaac, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years. Before joining Rover, I worked for free because I simply love animals and wanted to help people in my community. Over time, my passion grew into a professional career where I get to do what I love every day — caring for dogs and making pet parents’ lives easier. I’m also an up-and-coming book writer, which means I’m extremely organized, focused, and detail-oriented. I take notes on every dog I care for so I can fully understand their personality, quirks, and needs. I always do meet & greets before starting any job so that your pet feels comfortable and you can feel confident that they’re in safe hands. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, even in the most stressful or chaotic situations — whether it’s handling a dozen energetic pups, an overly affectionate dog, or cleaning up big messes (which I always do so well you’d never know it happened!). I can handle pregnant dogs, multiple pets, and any breed, and I even offer free basic training for dogs who need a little help with manners — as long as they’re not aggressive. I understand all a dog’s cues — when they’re happy, nervous, or uneasy — and I always listen to what they’re trying to communicate. I take pride in the fact that I’ve never failed a single dog I’ve worked with, no matter how challenging the job was. The only pets I don’t take are aggressive or unpredictable dogs that have a tendency to bite, nip. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive experience for every animal I care for. I’m quick to respond to requests and open to long-term clients who want a sitter they can rely on year-round. If you’re looking for someone who’s passionate, responsible, and treats your pets like family, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! 🐶💙 Hi there! I’m so excited to be offering my dog sitting, walking, and drop-in services here on Rover. While I may be new to the platform, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs! For the past 9 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors — caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog is wonderfully unique — and they deserve care that’s just as personal. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for some playtime and cuddles, a long refreshing walk, or overnight house sitting, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. Here’s what makes my care a little different: 🐶 Heartfelt, Personalized Attention I don’t just “check in” — I connect. I take time to learn each dog’s quirks, favorite games, and comfort zones. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I adjust my approach to make them feel completely at ease. 🚶 Walks That Nurture Mind & Body Walks with me are more than just a potty break — they’re time for enrichment, sniffing adventures, and positive energy. I match your dog’s pace and personality to make each walk both fun and fulfilling. 🏡 Respectful, Reliable Care at Home When I’m in your home, you can trust I’ll treat it — and your pets — with the same care and respect I give my own. You’ll always receive clear communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. ❤️ Built on Experience, Fueled by Love I’ve spent nearly a decade caring for dogs simply because I love it. Now, joining Rover lets me do what I love most — bringing comfort, joy, and trust to pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking — they become part of my extended furry family. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, not just someone who “sits,” I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 🕓 Availability & Scheduling I aim to make pet care as flexible and stress-free as possible for every family I work with. 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Available any day and time — except on major family holidays. I’m happy to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits to fit your dog’s routine. 🏡 House Sitting: I’m available for overnight or extended stays anytime. I just ask for at least one day’s notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet my full attention. 🚶 Dog Walks: I offer walks daily between 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM — perfect for after-work strolls, evening walks, or nighttime potty breaks. Please note: I do not offer walks past 11:00 PM. Communication and consistency are important to me, so I always confirm bookings promptly and keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My goal is to give you total peace of mind — knowing your pets are cared for with reliability, love, and respect for your schedule. Hello! Im Isaac, a dedicated dog lover who is passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry family members. Whether you’re heading out for a short trip or need regular help with your pup, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved in your absence. With 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand that each dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routines. From playful walks to quiet cuddle sessions, I ensure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. You can trust me to: Provide a safe, secure environment for your dog Follow any specific care instructions (feeding, medication, special needs, etc.) Keep your dog active and engaged with walks, playtime, and interactive activities Send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your dog is doing I know how much your dog means to you, and I treat every pup in my care like my own. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.

About: $20 off for first time bookings using https://www.rover.com/sit/nates19697 I've ran my own kennel for 15 years for small to medium dogs. I have a lot of experience with taking care of your pets and making sure you can function without the thought of your pet being mistreated. I have been a dog lover all my life. I also have non-aggressive French bulldogs your family member can play and bond with. I'm available anytime time. I'm just a call away from dropping your family member/members off for a nice clean stay until you arrive home from work or vacation. A nice big fenced in backyard so they can run and rest and I have three French bulldogs of my own. So they will have friends to talk and play with 😂

About: Ever since I can remember, I loved animals. I have always had animals in my home since I was young and taking care of them comes naturally. I helped a few of my dogs with their litters. I also helped my aunt with her blind dog like I said I love animals and I’m here to help with whatever you need. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available seven days a week to help you with your needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dogs to play. I have two small dogs. One was a rescue. My dogs are inside dogs and are crated at night for bedtime.

About: New to Rover?! Enjoy $40 off on me: https://www.rover.com/sit/valerg17575 As someone working in healthcare, compassion and a desire to help others are central to who I am, qualities I bring into every pet care experience. I've grown up with dogs my whole life, but my bond with my soul dog, Copper, was something truly special. When Copper became sick, I cared for him with patience, love, and unwavering dedication—doing everything I could to make him comfortable and happy. That experience deepened my understanding of how important pets are to their families; they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. I treat every dog in my care with the same level of kindness and attentiveness I gave Copper. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m always learning and growing so I can provide the best care possible. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, your pet will be loved and looked after like one of my own. I work full-time in healthcare Monday through Friday so I’m available for dog walks on weekday evenings around 5 PM with the exception of: (spring, summer, Thanksgiving, and winter break where I am available 7 days a week. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. I’m available for boarding from Friday evening through Sunday, as well as drop-in visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend walks can be scheduled at any time, based on your pet’s needs. I do my best to accommodate each family’s schedule and provide dependable, loving care every time! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, and we’re located near two parks that are perfect for peaceful walks. There’s also a nearby dog park for more active play, depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. Dogs are always welcome inside our home, though we kindly keep them off the furniture to maintain a clean and respectful space. We take pride in keeping our home safe, tidy, and pet-friendly, so your furry friend will always feel secure and cared for while staying with us.

About: I will take great care of your dog. I understand how hard it is when wanting to travel and finding a trustworthy person to care for your fur baby. I’ve been looking for a side job and spending time with dogs is a plus for me. I am responsible and will treat your dogs like my own. The only downside is I have a full time job and my days off Saturday’s, Sunday’s and Mondays’s. I have no problem dog sitting on my workdays but depends on your dogs needs. I work Tuesday- Friday and off Saturday-Monday. I can take care of your fur baby on my work days but it depends on your baby’s needs. Since I have pets of my own, I will not be offering the option to take care of pups at my home. I am respectful of others homes and follow the rules. If needed I have friends that I pet sit at their homes who could write a review.

“Rachel took amazing care of our Polly. This was our first time working with her and it won't be our last! Rachel took the time to meet with us before her drop-in care started. She asked questions, took notes, and played with Polly so that our little senior felt comfortable with her. During her home visits, she updated us daily with brief and informative notes and awesome photos! We knew we found the right Rover match! Rachel's personal care ensured that Polly was completely unfazed and calm when we returned home. To Polly, Rachel's visit was a play date! So wonderful! We'll call Rachel first whenever we need loving pet care. :-)”

Jaxon was an absolute lifesaver. They were punctual, easy-going, and handled everything quickly and efficiently. What really stood out was how kind they were with our animals—they took the time to greet each one, even though they were only here for the litter boxes. That level of care made us feel really comfortable. My wife and I don’t travel much, but it’s a great feeling knowing we have someone like Jaxon we can trust when we do.

Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,142 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Phelan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
