About: My Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I was raised around smaller dogs, so that’s what I grew up knowing first. As I got older, I started being around bigger breeds too, and over time I got just as comfortable with them. I’ve also grown up around horses, fish, rabbits, and different kinds of animals, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. A lot of what I know about dogs comes from actually growing up with them—seeing their different personalities, learning their routines, understanding when they want attention and when they need their space, and learning how much they rely on the people taking care of them. I’ve gotten to experience the fun parts of raising animals, but I’ve also experienced what it’s like to lose one. Going through that made me realize even more how much these animals become a part of your life. Because of that, when I take care of someone’s pet, I don’t look at them as just another dog I’m watching. I think about how I would want my own pets to be treated if I wasn’t there. I want them to feel comfortable with me, keep their normal routine, and have someone around who genuinely enjoys being with them. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure I have enough time to provide each pet with consistent, attentive care. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions, respect their space, and keep their pets’ routines consistent. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while providing a calm, loving environment.
“Always our favorite. She’s provided drop ins and overnights so many times for us, I don’t even have to check in or wonder what’s going on. Shes reliable and consistent.”
“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! She followed every instruction perfectly, sent us regular photo updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was that she even won over our super shy girl, who usually hides from everyone. Seeing her come out for Lauryn and enjoy the attention meant so much to us. It’s obvious Lauryn truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we travel. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14. I love all animals and have experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have 5 dogs at home so I’m used to chaos! I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I currently work only two days at my church, so I have plenty of time to play with all the dogs and cats! I will make sure to communicate with you when those times are and if I leave during the day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside. All my dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“Yvette checked in on my two cats while I was away and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter to check in on their fur babies!”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping your pet’s normal schedule as consistent as possible. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any other special care your pet needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog needs an active playmate, a relaxing place to stay, or simply some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work full time remote and have the flexibility during my day to make sure the dogs can run freely in the home, play, go outside and get the care they need with no worries! We have a fenced in back yard with a covered porch so the dogs can be free. We have lots of toys, treats, extra bowls and we always make sure the water bowls are filled! We care so deeply of our own dogs that we want others to make sure they are receiving that same care. We will always be responsive, send all the pictures, and give you any updates you need!
“Lauryn was amazing with my cat, Pickles! She not only fed, watered, and scooped her litter but she made sure that Pickles had lots of love, playtime and attention. She also sent updates and pictures so I knew how Pickles was doing. I will certainly book Lauryn for future visits!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young. We always had 3 dogs at a time. I have 3 dogs and they are my children. In the process of opening a dog boarding facility in the next year. I’m in school and starting a business but do both from home so very open with timing. I am usually only busy from 12-3 some days with meetings. I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs that are very friendly and love new friends to play with. I have a 45 pound service dog, an Australian shepherd7y/o. A 50 pound Australian shepherd/corgi 2y/o and a 10 pound corgi/Pomeranian that’s 16 y/o.
“Rachel did fantastic with my dogs! She took the time to really get to know them and how their daily routine works. She took photos, left a message on how their time was and was very personable when I got back home. She truly understands dogs!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs for about 5 years. Most my experience comes from taking care of family friends and neighbors pets while they’ve been out of town. While taking care of them I’ve had to feed them, go on walks, playtime, refresh water, and make sure their pets are happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different so I try to stick to their routine and give them lots of attention and pets as they can get sad when their owners are away. I really enjoy being around dogs, and I’ll treat them like my own! I’m pretty flexible and do my best to work around your schedule. I’ll make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate and send updates so you know how they’re doing. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, stick to their normal routine, and make sure they always have fresh water, meals on time, and lots of attention. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing they’re doing well.
About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.

“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
