About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, adults, and senior dogs. As an experienced foster, I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where every dog feels at home. I also send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing. My foster experience has given me patience and confidence with training basics, routines, and dogs who may need a little extra care or reassurance. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have two dogs of my own who get daily exercise, so your pup will be part of an active, playful environment as well. I’m a teacher with strong availability during summers, holidays, and school breaks. My husband works from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, providing extra care and supervision. I also work just 5 minutes away, so I can come home during the day for check-ins and potty breaks as needed. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, as well as crates and gates available if needed to create a secure and structured environment for your dog. I have two friendly dogs of different sizes (50 lbs and 70 lbs) who are well-socialized and have gotten along great with all of my previous fosters. Your pup will have a calm, supervised, and welcoming home environment.

“We only needed them temporarily but they did a great job taking care of our fur baby and making sure he had plenty of attention and exercise in the middle of the day.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals—including dogs, cats, and chickens—for nearly all of my 28 years. What started as a lifelong love for animals has naturally grown into a passion for caring for them. I also have experience caring for elderly animals and understand that senior pets may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of being observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs—qualities I bring to every pet in my care. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I strive to give every animal the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to make our time together fun, comfortable, and stress-free while treating your pets like part of my family. 🐾❤️ I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I do work a full-time job, with three days in the office and two days working from home. My schedule is flexible, however, and I’m able to work around most pet care needs and schedules. I’m available full-time Thursday through Sunday, making me especially flexible for weekend stays, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to coordinate weekday care around my work schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient while providing reliable, consistent care for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and take the time to understand their individual routines, personalities, and needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I respect their familiar environment and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands and are receiving the same love and attention they would receive from you.

About: Caring for animals isn't just our profession—it's our passion. My husband and I have dedicated more than 20 years to working with pets and helping families feel confident that their furry loved ones are in caring, capable hands. I am a licensed veterinary technician, and my husband is a professional dog trainer who manages a pet daycare facility. Together, we have decades of experience in veterinary medicine, boarding, behavior, and everyday pet care. From energetic puppies to senior pets and those with special medical needs, we have the knowledge and experience to provide the personalized care each pet deserves. We understand that every pet is unique, and we treat each one as if they were our own. Whether your pet needs medication, extra attention, or simply a safe, loving place to stay, we're committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Having the luxury of working close to home means pets are not left in the home for extended time. Someone is home with them in the mornings, back for an afternoon break and then home for the day by 3pm. If your pet needs more constant care they can travel with me to work. We have two spare bedrooms, plenty of dog beds, chew toys and cuddle zones. We have a very secure fenced in yard and also have paved walking paths for walks near by. Our pets are very friendly and love playing with others. However if you prefer not to have your pet socialize with ours we can accommodate that also.

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.
