About: Hi, I'm Stacy! Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a huge variety of breeds—from powerful and energetic pups like Dobermans and Pit Bulls to speedy Greyhounds and tiny Yorkies. I understand that every dog has a totally unique personality and requires a tailored approach, whether they need confident leadership, gentle patience, or just endless belly rubs. Currently, my home is run by my two amazing boys: Winston, a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Shih Tzu mix, and Pablo, my big, goofy rescue hound mix. I am very accustomed to strict feeding routines and prepping home-cooked meals, specific vegetables, and daily supplements. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, allergies, or a highly specific diet, I will follow your instructions. Whether your dog is a tiny senior looking for a quiet cuddle or a big, goofy rescue needing confident handling and long walks, I can't wait to meet them! I’m currently completing my degree, which gives me a highly flexible daily schedule and plenty of free time. I am available to drop in most days at almost any time, whether your pets need an early morning breakfast, a midday walk, or an evening play session. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am highly comfortable managing medical needs and have hands-on experience administering daily injections for sick rescue kittens. I bring the same level of discipline and alertness from my military career to pet care, ensuring strict adherence to any medication or specialized dietary instructions you leave. I always maintain a calm environment and stay hyper-vigilant during walks or drop-ins so you can have complete peace of mind.
About: I am working full time, so I am mostly available in the evenings and also on weekends! I can do some early mornings if needed. I take care to keep cats safe and secure within their space. I make sure all doors and windows are closed and secure as needed.

About: I have cared for many dogs in my life from all different sizes and ages and conditions, from new born to 100lbs+ dogs to elderly dogs. I currently own 2 Dobermans, one male and one female .My female dobbie is well trained and expecting her 2 litter. My male dobbie is only 1 years old and is getting the hang of things when it comes to his training so when it comes to it I’m well experienced in handling big and heavy strong animals. I also own a puppy lab and a kitten, they get along well with each other and it’s all day fun but also very high maintenance at this age but very rewarding. I love to Surround my self with all animals! Since I own Dobermans, they are very high maintenance and need lots of attention and love lots of outdoor time, I take them on daily walks or hiking and on runs so I’m very use to extreme exercise with my dog for many hours and under different weather conditions. How I care for my dogs at home is having a fenced yard and make sure they are healthy to what I feed them to there vet check ups and there baths and even nail trimmings and deep ear cleaning and of course there daily exercise which could be playing with the ball or going on a walk or even running or interacting at the dog park.

“Chelsea is a great sitter! My kitties were fed and happy when I came home from my trip. She followed all the instructions I left for taking care of my kitties and was super responsive overall.”
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.

“Heather is always so wonderful with Snarfle, and this round, she went above and beyond with helping me get full coverage for a trip I had scheduled. Since Heather was mostly booked through May, I hired a second sitter to have complete coverage for the days I was out, and Heather and the other sitter worked seamlessly together to ensure Snarfle was taken care of the whole time! There are very few people I trust with my kitty or my home, and Heather is one of those good people.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
