“Thank you so much, Dawn, for taking great care of Linguine. It is of great ease to be able to travel and know that our pup is in good, caring hands. We are so happy to have established a relationship- Linguine (and us) look forward to our next visit. 🐾 The Watsons”
“Grateful to have Elexis watching and loving our big fluff during our family trip! They were immediate buddies when she took the extra time to meet Delta ahead of the scheduled visits. Highly recommend her for the extras, attention to detail, and great service!”
“Christopher did a great job dropping in on our dog over the weekend on really short notice. Our dog is a sweet girl, but can be reactive and standoffish. Christopher seemed to win her over easily. He was also super helpful when our plans changed and great on timely communication.”
“Holy Cow Maggie was the best with our cat and dog. She was friendly, on time for her visits, sent daily updates, followed directions and I had nothing to worry about. If she’s available, book her!”
About: As an experienced and reliable pet sitter, I focus on providing loving, attentive care for every dog I look after. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I make it my mission to keep them safe, happy, and well-loved at all times. Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable stay-at-home mom to two loving girls — and a lifelong dog lover! Caring for pups fits perfectly into our family life. You can count on me for dependable care, great communication, and plenty of doggy loves! 🐾 Dedicated dog sitter providing reliable, attentive care. Regular walks, crate if needed, feeding schedules followed, comfortable with senior dogs. Your furry friend will receive love, attention, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾
About: I have grown up, been around, and generally loved all dogs my whole life. I can be gentle, energetic, and cuddly with your pup. I come dressed for any kind of weather; rain, sun, or snow! I have experience with giving liquid or pill medications orally also. I’m currently working part-time from home. I’ll be available to play with your pups during the week or most weekends! I’m available mostly during the week, but weekends are not out of the question. I have a golden retriever named Tucker who gets along with other dogs and would love a playmate. He does however, easily respect if other dogs do not want the attention. I am also located in between quite a few dog parks. Quincy park, East End Park (both fenced) Kirk Park, which has a great dog beach! Mulligans and Pigeon park are a couple of other places I love to walk (or run) my pup! We love going to dog parks!! My husband and son also would also love to play with your pup! If you bother to look at my pictures, it is pretty evident that we love to take our dog everywhere with us! My husband will also bring our dog to work with him.
“Sophia was quick to respond to a last minute request, communicative, professional and arrived on time. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and well cared for during the visit.”
“Caroline is great and would definitely recommend her! She’s been a huge help, the animals loves her, and she does amazing job and has been happy to help me out in anyways possible.”
“Amanda was a terrific caregiver for Jake and Henry. She checked on them daily, took time to play with Jake (Henry is a grump), and sent photos and updates to me. She is a great communicator and obviously loves animals. This gave me tremendous peace of mind on our three-week trip, especially because Jake was new to us one month before we left! Highly recommend!”
“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”
“Miranda gave us the peace of mind we’ve been looking for for our two beautiful cats. We have been doing of family vacation for six years and this is the first year I have been able to be worry free. Miranda sent messages and pictures of each visit, in my opinion, she took care of our cats like they were her own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the time and care you gave our boys , we will definitely use Miranda again if she’s available ♥️”
About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I keep the doggie door shut unless an owner asks for me to use it. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a kid and raised and trained multiple dog breeds, including German Shepard’s, Shelties, and Grey hounds. Animals have always taken a liking to me and I have had a passion for wanting to care for animals for as long as I can remember! I will love and care for your fur baby as if it was my own! I currently work a full time job out of the house but have some work from home flexibility. I am available for weekend and evening care and some weekly daytimes. I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play! I like to be active, so your fur baby is always welcome to join for walks, hikes, and various adventures and even some pup cups if mom/dad approve! I am very trustworthy and respectful of your home and belongings.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years and have experience with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable handling high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pets, and senior animals who need a little extra patience. I understand how important routine and consistency are, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will plan my schedule carefully, so your pet receives dedicated attention and isn’t rushed. Whether you need consistent weekly visits or occasional coverage while traveling, I can accommodate most needs with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I will follow your care instructions closely and maintain your pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive to security. I will pay close attention to behavior changes, ensure gates and doors are secure, and keep a calm, positive environment. You can trust that your pet will receive responsible, attentive care every visit.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals! If you have pets other than cats or dogs, please let me know if they need any additional care. I grew up caring for birds, lizards, turtles, fish, and dogs, and I have also cared for bunnies and guinea pigs for friends while they were on vacation. I have plenty of experience dog sitting, letting pets out, playing with them, and taking dogs on walks. I’m comfortable caring for most animals (with the exception of spiders and snakes), and I’m happy to work with you to understand exactly what your pet needs. If you have a very energetic dog, I love going on long hikes during the summer and would be happy to bring your dog along for an adventure at a park. Please let me know how your dog does around other dogs so I can make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience. If your dog simply needs someone to let them out, play with them, or give them some extra attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I’m also happy to stop in and feed, check on, or play with other pets in your home. I’m very passionate about animals and love being able to help people by making sure their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away! I work full-time in Holland, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. My schedule is fairly flexible when I have advance notice, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. For stays or visits arranged ahead of time, I can provide dog walks and pet care before work in the morning and after work in the evening. I’m also happy to discuss additional visits or care needs depending on the schedule and length of the booking. I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, fish, and more. Whether your pets have a simple routine or need a little extra attention, I’m happy to follow their normal care schedule and make sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, needs, and personality. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can keep them comfortable and maintain their normal schedule while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication if needed, litter or cage cleaning, and general care based on your instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. With advance notice, I can often accommodate schedules that require visits before and after my normal work hours.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Sheldon
Dawn was an exceedingly reliable and personable pet sitter for our indoor and outdoor cats. Our shy indoor girl was quickly won over and looked forward to Dawn's visits, brushing and playtime. We enjoyed getting the daily pics and reports. Communication throughout the entire booking and engagement was stellar. We will absolutely ask for Dawn next time we're both away from home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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 .
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.
