About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !
“Elaine did such an AMAZING job watching my baby boy while I went home to visit my family on Christmas! This was my first time having Elaine as a sitter and she was as reassuring as she could possibly be! I was looped into some crazy flight cancellations and Elaine was very accommodating to meet all of my needs during those crazy times! She is very reliable and I highly recommended ??”

“Leah was very attentive to my pups and kept me informed of their visit with great photos and details. At our meet and great she was very professional and really great interacting with my pups”

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including my own as well as dogs for friends, family, and clients. I have primarily worked with small to medium sized dogs, but I also have experience caring for larger breeds. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to be 17. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs. I have experience administering medications as needed, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for older dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to following schedules for meals, walks, medications, and daily care. Communication is very important to me, and I know how reassuring updates can be for pet parents. I am happy to send regular messages and photos during visits or stays if you would like, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away. Whether I am house sitting, stopping by for drop in visits, or taking dogs on walks, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means playing, walking, or simply providing companionship. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Please see my cat care bio for more information about my experience caring for cats as well. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am able to plan my days around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, and I prioritize being present and attentive during each visit or stay. I have experience managing pet care alongside remote work, so I am comfortable staying in the home and maintaining routines while ensuring pets are never left without proper care or attention. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and consistent, whether a pet needs regular walks, multiple daily visits, or overnight care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on safety, consistency, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household guidelines. I make sure pets are always secure during walks and visits and keep doors, gates, and leashes properly checked. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, comfort level, and any special needs, especially for senior pets. I maintain a calm and familiar environment by sticking to their usual routine and providing companionship, playtime, and attention at their pace. I also treat my client’s home with care and respect. I keep the space clean and tidy, handle litter boxes and feeding areas responsibly, and make sure everything is left as it was found. I communicate regularly with pet parents and provide updates and photos so they can feel confident that their pet and home are in good hands.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since childhood. Growing up, my family always had at least one cat and one dog in the home and my siblings and I were responsible for caring for these animals. I have always had some sort of pet since then. Currently, I am mother to my pride and joy: an 11-year-old Yorkie. He is an older dog now and sleeps a majority of the day. I am looking for other pets to keep me occupied as I work from home. I will be considering them my new coworkers. 😊 I currently run my business from my apartment. I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself. I have plenty of time to care for dogs and board in my home. I am open to different situations in the home. I live in an apartment building with many dog owners. The apartment is attached to a dog park and there are many larger dog parks in the area.
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid who would choose playing with the dogs over playing with the other children! When I was 13, my family got a Westie named Millie, who was a huge part of my life until I left home at 18. I also owned horses throughout my teenage years, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. In my 20s, I worked at a summer camp as the Ranch Director, where I was responsible for caring for the animals and managing staff on a farm with 14 horses, pigs, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, and chicks. That experience gave me a lot of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds and taught me the importance of being attentive, responsible, and consistent when caring for them. I’ve been wanting a dog of my own for years, but I haven’t quite taken the plunge yet! So, for now, I absolutely love getting my dog fix by taking care of other people’s pups. I regularly cared for my sister-in-law’s two little black rescue dogs, who were both mixed breeds. I absolutely loved spending time with them, and they became very special to me before sadly passing away a couple of years ago. I’m also always the first person my friends call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. I have a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son, and they both LOVE dogs. They are gentle, respectful, and very affectionate with animals, and they love helping to care for them. Some of my previous pet-sitting clients have even commented on how much they appreciated the extra love and attention their dogs received from my kids! I’m happy to provide references from multiple people, including both professional clients and friends whose pets I’ve cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your dog like they are part of our family while they’re with us—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I currently work during the week but am generally available on weekends and evenings. I love being active and outdoors and would love to take your dog with me! Due to where I live right now I can only come to your home to care for your pets, and am happy to stay over or just come for occasional feeds and play!
“Gemar was fantastic. Communication was quick and clear, and followed all instructions perfectly. Both of my dogs were well-fed, cared for, and genuinely happy when I got home. Gemar handled everything smoothly and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
She was quite amazing with my dog and he’s quite difficult and overprotective when I’m home. It was a delight to know that she was not scared of my rat terrier by any means. If you have a difficult dog or an over protective dog she is the one that I would most definitely recommend!!!

This is our second time with Chaylee and I have absolutely 0 complaints. She’s absolutely amazing, my older doggy loves her and she’s excited every time she sees her. I can trust her in my home and I can go on my work or personal trips at peace knowing my dog is in good trustworthy hands.

Jessica did great her first time with my cat and bunny. Her communication is impeccable and she gave them their full half hour. I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone when I got home— no messes to clean and the boys were content. I will be booking Jessica in the future for sure! 😻

This was the second time having Monica watch my two cats while we went on vacation and she always exceeds expectations. I got a ton of pictures of my babies daily, lots of communication and generally made my vacation better because I didn’t for a second have to worry that my cats were okay. She deserves every single 5 star review she has.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
