About: With 20 years of experience, I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I love exploring the outdoors and staying active with pets, but I’m also a comforting presence for those who prefer cozy companionship at home. From playful puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs—just like I do for my own. As a teacher, my schedule is structured, allowing me time in the mornings and evenings to provide attentive care for pets. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time outdoors, taking pets for walks, and giving them the exercise and attention they need. I balance my responsibilities by ensuring pets get plenty of playtime, love, and care, whether it’s during breaks or after school hours. In addition, from June to September, I am on summer break and have the utmost flexibility! In my home, pets are treated like family. With a securely fenced yard, they can play and exercise safely outdoors. I ensure they get daily walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of cuddle time indoors. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain their routines, provide stimulating play, and keep their space clean and comfortable—making sure your pet feels safe and loved whether in a familiar environment or my secure, pet-friendly home.
“Michelle was available on short notice, provided a pic of my dogs upon check up and followed instructions as directed. Pleased with her service. My dogs seemed to have really liked her :) Thanks Michelle!”
“Brazee is excellent! She got along great with our cat and was reliable and trustworthy. Loved the photos with her visit updates. Recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”
“Leaving your buddy behind when you travel is always stressful, and it was such a relief to find Kathryn and know that she was taking care of my cat so considerately. Kathryn was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond to help care for my cat. My tortie can be a bit slow to warm up, and she took the time to get to know her and her needs, coax her into playing, and spend extra care and attention on her. She kept me informed about my cat's eating habits and well-being and did a great job both caring for her and assuaging my worry while traveling. I found her to be kind and responsible, and I'm looking forward to booking her again when I take my next trip!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and love all kinds of animals. I am very familiar with pet sitting and will treat your pet like my own! My schedule is very flexible so your pet will get the attention it needs and deserves! I am available on weekends and most holidays with little notice needed. I have an house with plenty of walking trails nearby to keep your pet active. Pets will not be kept alone and I can cater to any special needs from the owner.
About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.
“Stephanie was FABULOUS! She went the extra mile to ensure our pups were happy and comfortable. Usually when I go out of town, I come home to two pups that seem pretty depressed, but when I came back this time, it's like I hadn't even left! Stephanie kept them plenty occupied and I'm sure they felt loved while they were with her. I will definitely be retaining Stephanie in the future. :)”
“Janae was outstanding! She was super responsive, provided regular updates with photos, and stayed on top of everything. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup — highly recommend!”
About: I have 2 years of dog walking experience while attending college! I am patient and willing to go for longer walks as well. I love getting outside and what better way to do it than walking a dog! I am a nanny and I usually have a couple days off per week. Dog walking fits into my weekly schedule and is a great way to stay active! I am very active and I will be able to walk your dog for how ever long is needed. I am also patient and I am able to walk dogs that prefer to take breaks or wander while walking.
About: I am an avid hiker, biker, jogger and dog park enthusiast. I'm always looking for new hikes, trails and dog park adventures for me and my 2 Dogs. I have a 12 yr old lady dog whom I take on her own special shorty turtle pace hike and I have a 3 yr old extremely well-trained dog that is amazing with all other dogs and animals and he joins me on all other adventures. I am looking to help others get their loved pups out and about and have some doggy time. I know the importance of exercise and socialization for our pups and sometimes life gets hectic. A tired doggy is a good doggy. Your pup will get socialization, exercise, training and love. I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to personalize pet/house/property sit with your schedule. My goal is to provide mindful, personalized care that keeps pets happy, active and comfortable so you can enjoy your day/travels with peace of mind. I provide in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits. This can include feeding, playtime, exercise, companionship. I'm dependable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and home.
About: I have experience with larger breeds all the way to chihuahuas. I enjoy long walks, playing and training. Experience with puppies and seniors. I have no issues with potty training or house sitting. I work part time and have plenty of availability for walking, playing or sitting any day of the week! I am open to early mornings as well as multiple times a week or consistent scheduling. I adjust according to owners systems and ways of training. I respect the owners trainings and the needs of your pet! I respect others personal property and home and will treat it like it were my own as well as your pets!
About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I have 19 years of pet experience. We have a small farm. I’ve also helped my mom on rover for the past few months. I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱
“Another stellar booking with Mickaelin! She is so conscientious and amazing with our cats. We know they are in good hands when we book with her, and we feel truly fortunate to have someone with her experience and love of animals so close by in our little neck of the woods. We won't hesitate to book again.”
“From when she came out and did our initial meeting with the animals, I knew she was going to be a great fit on taking care of the animals. Our cats don’t warm up to new people quickly & they were instantly friendly. She did daily check ins on them. Always super thorough, played with the dogs and gave the kitties treats. I think our animals are actually disappointed we did not come home bearing treats after having an awesome pet sitter all week. Haha. I highly recommend Alexandrea. She did great with our crew. We’ve got two dogs and two cats. Age ranges from 1 year to 13 years old. She even did some light cleaning so we didn’t have to come home to hair covered floors.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ponderay is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ponderay
Brazee was great to work with! We were needing an option while on vacation so that we could take the kids to Silverwood for the day and not have to worry about the dogs at the Air BnB. Dogs were well cared for and Brazee sent photos and updates. Would definitely recommend her for your pet needs.
We’ve used Breana several times for our kitty and fish and she does an amazing job! We love the photos and know our kitty gets lots of love while we’re gone. She went above and beyond beyond on our last service when our fish tank starting pumping water into the floor - yikes! She reached out right when she saw the water on the floor and then took care of the immediate need when she couldn’t reach us. Excellent service!!

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 .

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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 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.
