“Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!”

“Ashley is AMAZING and highly recommend her!! This is our first time using Rover and we were really nervous. We have three senior dogs and two of them are pretty skittish around strangers. She reassured us with messages and pictures that showed her bonding and making our pups feel loved and safe while we were away. Our two dogs that are scared around strangers loved her and even snuggled with her. She had great communication with us regarding if they ate, drank water, played, bathroom breaks, and if there were any accidents. Will be booking with her again!”

About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
“Olivia was above amazing. My cats took to her right away and usually it takes them some time. She stayed with them, gave them treats, fed them, scooped their litter and even cleaned up the litter area. She sent pictures (which I loved) and told me how they were acting everyday. Highly recommend Olivia for any pet owner.”

About: Trustworthy and dependable, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals animals over the years, including dogs, outdoor cats, ragdoll cat, birds, chickens, horses, and calves. I understand every animal has its own unique needs and deserves compassionate care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, drop in visits, overnight stays, or giving medication, I will provide reliable care. I have a flexible schedule I can work around for pets staying here, sleeping on the floor or outside. I will be gone during the day some days of the week, if they are ok left alone. I work at a greenhouse 3 days a week and could take puppies under a year with me to work. And also most dogs if theyre used to be out and about. I would accept puppies under a year not fixed. I have 2 ziplines in my yard and your pets are more than welcome to stay here if they would be OK with those accommodations. I can pick up and drop off typically would suit best in the evenings. I would also stay in your home so they could stay in familiar territory, but i have a greenhouse job and will be gone a good part of the day. And also work prn at an assisted living but il try to wait till 2 weeks till to pick up shifts. Cuz thats my requirement for bookings. I also have a 1 year old Aussie Mountain Doodle that will be coming with me. He loves meeting new friends. If youre worried about him getting along we can do a meet and greet. For clients within 30 miles of Gallatin, I will send you a 15% discount for less mileage. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. My profile shows Kingston, it's because I work in Kearney and am around there a lot. So dropping by between Jamesport and Kearney will be easy. I had to move my town to get the area I wanted.

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
“Lucas was great! Our shy pup offered a small kiss right away. We got wonderful updates and pictures with each visit and he was always on time. We will be using Lucas again, for sure.”

About: Hello! My name is Kamryn, I'm not just another pet sitter – I'm a fellow pet lover who's been in your shoes. For the past four years, I've been a devoted cat parent, understanding the unique joys and responsibilities that come with feline companionship. Beyond my own furry friend, I've also had the pleasure of dog-sitting for many wonderful families, including overnight stays and regular check-ins. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your animals. My most transformative experience came when I cared for my aunt's senior husky, Xander. He was battling seizures and diabetes, and it was a challenging time for everyone. But I saw it as an opportunity to make a real difference in his life. From administering insulin injections to ensuring he got his daily walks, I was committed to providing him with the best possible care. What I learned during that time was invaluable. I discovered the profound impact of consistent, loving care on an animal's well-being. Seeing Xander's health improve and his spirit lifted was incredibly rewarding. Now, he's thriving, and I'm inspired to bring that same level of dedication and compassion to your pets. Whether you have energetic puppies still learning the ropes or senior dogs who prefer a gentle stroll, I'm equipped to handle their unique needs. I offer flexible walks, from 30 minutes to an hour, tailored to fit your pet's schedule and preferences. Let's connect and create a personalized plan that ensures your animals are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I can't wait to meet them My day starts bright and early around 3 a.m. because I'm up early for work. I let Xander out for a quick potty break, then I get myself ready for the day, making sure his food and water bowls are topped off. Before heading out the door, I give my cat Lana a quick check-in, making sure she's doing okay. We grab some treats and squeeze in a 30-minute walk. Since my job allows me off at 1, my evenings are reserved for child and pet care. After my day is done, I make sure to dedicate an hour to a longer walk with Xander as soon as I get home. In the evenings, Lana and I unwind on the couch or in my room. I feed them both at the same time. Since I have a set schedule, Xander, Lana, and I all thrive on the routines we've established! When caring for pets, I offer a range of services tailored to their needs and the owner's preferences. This includes daily or weekly walks to ensure pets get enough exercise and fresh air. I also provide overnight pet care at the client's home, which involves maintaining their regular feeding and potty schedules, as well as offering companionship and playtime. Additionally, I offer check-in visits at the client's home, where I can provide food, water, and offer some attention. Since my job allows me off at 1, my afternoons and evenings are reserved for child and pet care. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away, always respecting their routines and the owner's instructions.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richmond stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
