About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
About: I've taken care of dogs throughout my childhood and teen years walking neighbors dogs, it took me a while to get a dog of my own because I know how much time love and energy is required. My pup gets along with cats and dogs, she'd be excited to have another pup to run with. While we don't have a fenced yard we have a large yard and a very quiet neighborhood. I'm at home 24/7 with my kids. So wake up early for walks before it gets hot outside. Fresh water changed. And feed for an hour before being picked up (any meds that need to be administered) litter boxes. Mid morning yard play time. Quick potty break around 2pm. Playtime at 5pm Feeding time 7-8 meds after as needed. I have a very quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic perfect for safe walks. For cats I have a quiet room if they prefer to be secluded. My house has cat trees toys a plenty.
About: I have been around various dog breeds my whole life. My best friend is a k9 officer trainer and I have some experience with basic training. I love dogs and am happy to help in any way I can 😊 I work during the week until 5pm but am free most weekends, I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I would also consider week days after 5pm I live in a pet friendly apartment building. My apartment is clutter free, there is a space for dogs to play and walk outside the building.
“Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.”
“Bobbie has a heart of gold, was amazing with all of our animals and I will not hesitate to ask for her help again in the future. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much for caring for our babies.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. From Black labs to Pitbulls amd Boxers I love a silly dog! I will happily take care of any dog and give them all the love and attention they need! I'm pretty free every day so far so if you need a sitter or walker feel free to message me and I will do what I can to be over! I follow by whatever the owner tells me! I do tend to spoil animals with settings, cuddles, and plenty of playtime! I hope to learn each animal I meet and keep them happy while taking care of them!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
About: Majored in vet tech, I’ve had animals since I was 7 years old. My oldest dog I have is 13 years old and the youngest is two years old. I have a huge heart and passion for animals.

I am available weekends from 6am-10pm. Weekdays I am available after 5:30 am-10:00am & 9:30pm-10:00pm. This year I will be available for almost every holiday as long as I am notified a head of time, I will accommodate to the best of my ability. I have a huge backyard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company. I have experience in crate training and I will safely crate your fur babies.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for over 10 years now. I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a toy poodle and as big as a mastiff, any and all furry friends are welcome! My goal one day is to own/foster many many dogs but until the time comes I’m happy taking care of yours :) Currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! Bringing them to work with me is also an option My home is a safe space for all pets! I have enough space indoors and outdoors for them to explore as well as loving a fur friend to cuddle up with at the end of the day.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
