About: Yes. I’m a RN with an active license. I needed a pet sitter for my puppy when we got him. I noticed there was a huge need for pet sitters in the area. Pet Paw-rents have trouble leaving their fur babies with someone not only when it’s the first time, but even when you have done it multiple times. I can give you the piece of mind, that is a MUST, while your fur baby is with me. I’ve always been an advocate for anyone or anything considered vulnerable. That’s elderly, handicapped, children, and animals. Because they cannot defend themselves, much of the time. It’s important to be able to recognize signs of abuse/neglect, and stop it. Your pets are consistently given a loving, caring, nurturing stay. They deserve that! It’s hard enough being away from their Paw-rent, home, security, their safe place. They need patience, compassion, understanding, warm smiles, hugs. kisses, and lots of love to help fill that void. I have many years of experience working with animals, as a vet tech with a now retired vet from Waterloo, Iowa, and I used to volunteer my time at various rescue leagues, animal shelters. I can take animals with high needs, including ones needing medication admin, insulin, etc. I love all fur babies/animals. I have always had a pet growing up, including dogs and cats. Animals are such a joy. They bring me happiness! I strive to be the best at what I do! With that said, I know I’m not always going to do things right, to your liking, or how you would. Im not perfect. So please, if you have a concern, are/were unhappy, or simply have some insight to give, let me hear it! I cannot do better, get better, if I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, or could be doing better. Communication and transparency are so vital to me. I don’t say one thing and do another. I try to give every pet a customized, INDIVIDUAL, stay. All animals are unique, and just as different as you and I. It’s not a 1 for all here. I formulate a care plan for each pet I care for, striving to keep them safe, and their routine just as consistent as what they are used/accustomed to. It’s too confusing if you change everything up. What you can be sure of, is I will always do what’s in the best interest of the pet. ALWAYS! Thank you for entrusting your sweet babies with me! I’m currently only doing pet sitting so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pet/babies. Your pet(s)/babies will be my priority. I’m happy to keep detailed notes of your pets stay with me, as well as send photos, and updates often, and as much as needed. I will keep you informed. They will always be in a loving, caring, environment.*** Please know this is my business, so I may have other pets here and booked at the same time as yours. Safety is, has been, and always will be my #1 priority. I have the space and the help to keep dogs separated if they don’t get along or if that’s what has to be done to maintain everyone’s safety, without keeping them locked in a crate or a room all day. Letting them be “free” is what I strive for. This is very important to me as a sitter. I want to be different. Anyone can lock a dog in a crate or kennel them all day. I believe my business is not only better, but night and day difference. Are you a returning customer? Message me and I will automatically deduct 15% of your total charges with exception of the Rover fees/charges. But you must mention you seen this on my profile to save the 15%. I will not automatically deduct this. This is an incentive to read my entire profile😀 Thank you so much for putting your trust in me, it means so very much!!! What sets me apart from other sitters? First, is I will be offering access to a fur baby can to owners to log in and see what their baby is doing whenever they want during business hours. I am totally transparent and have nothing to hide, therefore I want my pet owners to know they can see their babies whenever works best for them, and it will give them the piece of mind they need. Will be visual, no audio (due to privacy issues) pics and videos will still be done, just won’t need as many. This is coming soon, depending on business:). Your pets are ALWAYS and Consistently given patience,love, understanding, compassion, and treats (lol). I give baths at no cost if your pet is with me for 3 + days. I supply treats/bones, etc. I have a “treasure chest” FULL of dog and Cat treats. Trust me, your fur baby will know exactly where this is! I have a pet and child free home. Only animals are sitter animals. I have a large corner lot fenced in back yard, treated for fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, and other insects, quarterly. Home atmosphere for your pet most of the time. I strive for open and free. No locking them up unless I’m leaving home (which is very infrequently) at night if needed or wanted, crate training, owner request, and most importantly, briefly to maintain safety of all in order to go outside/potty breaks. I strive to maintain a free style sitter service, if having multiple pets from different families are being simultaneously boarded, and there are safety concerns, then I do my best to come as close to freestyle as allows. If you have any ?’s as to what this looks like, etc. Please request a meet/greet. I will NEVER turn down. I actually think they are important for both parties:).

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 4 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home. I love animals and enjoy taking dogs on walks. Besides my school schedule, I am very free. I have my own car and I live on campus. I am available in morning and evening and in between classes. I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Radcliffe

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 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.

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 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.
