I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddles, your pet will never feel like they’re being left alone for long. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have access to a community dog park, which is available as an option with your approval for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing. I also have a friendly 5 year old French Bulldog. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs can always be separated if your pup prefers their own space. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is with us. I truly care for every dog as if they were my own, and I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free from the moment you book with me.

About: My entire life I've grown up around cats and dogs, always having at least one. I get along better with dogs than cats, but I love both equally. My pets have loved me, and even animals I first meet tend to like me right away. I'm also used to house sitting and pet sitting for my parents. I'm currently between jobs so I have nothing but time. My current house is yet to be pet friendly, so unfortunately I can't board, but I'm willing to travel to pet sit or just feed and walk the animals. I will follow whatever routine the animals have set to the letter, and whatever instructions I'm left. The animals' needs are always my top priority.
“Elizabeth was great with my dog! Kept me updated on how my girl was and very patient with her as my dog was a little nervous at first when she got there for her walk. I received a picture of my girl and even an update on my cat! I will definitely rebook for her to come see my dog for a walk!”

Kristina is great! She's very good with Teddy but she's also very responsive, timely, and reliable. I a very last minute, no plan kinda person and if she is free she will come in a flash. While my husband is injured I've relied on her help to make sure my very young and active pitbull is walked and exercised. Kristina has been a blessing! Thank you!

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
