“Mary did a great job. This was our first experience using Rover and we would definitely recommend Mary to take care of your fur babies. We were gone 6 days, and didn’t want to put our two cats in a cat hotel. She gave my cat her medications twice a day and gave them lots of attention and pets. We got lots of photos.”
“Alex took excellent care of my big doodle, Annie! She was dependable, kept us updated, and made sure Annie was happy and well cared for during every visit. We really appreciated her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Reliable, Experienced & Ready to Care for Your Pets! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve volunteered at a nature center caring for reptiles, worked as a farm hand, and helped care for my family’s cattle. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, and other furry and scaly friends. You can count on me to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether they need exercise, playtime, companionship, feeding, or extra patience, I’ll help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands and receiving regular attention and care. 💕 Message me to book your pet’s next adventure or care visit! I work full-time (most weeks) in the service industry. I will never work doubles while taking care of your babies. Normal shifts will be from 10-4 or 4-11/12. My management is aware of my use of rover, and is very understanding to slight schedule changes. At my house my animals are spoiled, so I will treat your babies the same. They will get a multitude of cuddles, and just leave any special instructions like meals or medication. (However I am not specialized in injections.)
About: 8 years of professional petsitting experience on top of multiple years of pet ownership; includes housesitting, house maintenance, and care of non-traditional pets such as rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and wide open for plenty of time to love on your furry friends. I receive my schedule weeks in advance and am able to prioritize my clients effectively and ensure the highest quality of care. Due to my apartment complex not allowing pets, I care for pets at clients’ homes, whether that’s through pop-in visits to the home or housesitting for the amount of time needed. This ensures that your pets are in an environment that they are comfortable in. I communicate with clients before and throughout the visit to ensure they are kept in the loop while I care for their pets, including photos, and I never hesitate to ask questions if I have any.
About: I’ve pet sat since 8th grade so about 4 years now, and have gained many clients who I adore! I’ve taken care of dogs of all pups of shapes, sizes, and different needs! I love animals as much as humans so taking care of your baby would be a joy🤗 I’m working part time at a restaurant and the schedule changes weekly, but as long as you’re flexible, I can usually work something out and usually try to check on any animal I’m sitting every 3-4 hours! I love taking dogs on walks, letting them out and giving them all of the snuggles! It really is up to clients preference as to what the animals need, I can do whatever I need!

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.

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 .
