About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have since become the go-to sitter for friends and family! I take extra care to make sure that your pets will feel happy, safe, and loved during my time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, including diabetic and special needs pups. I’ve had cats, dogs and everything in between and love spending time with all animals. 🐾💗 I’m available any day of the week! I update my calendar daily and can usually accommodate last minute bookings. I recommend reaching out in advance if you need constant care house sitting so I can block off my availability for drop ins and walks and ensure the sit won’t conflict with my work schedule. Building trust and a sense of security with your pet is my #1 priority. Dogs and cats alike will quickly realize that I’m here to be their longtime friend, not just a sitter! I make sure to pay special attention to body language, likes/dislikes, and follow their everyday routine closely so that they feel comfortable and really enjoy their time with me. Each animal has a unique personality that I will put time into understanding and I can adapt to meet their specific needs. I have experience administering both oral and injected medications and am familiar with most allergies/dietary restrictions. For all bookings, detailed updates and photos are guaranteed. I want you to see the love that I have for your pets in real time! Building trust with you is just as important to me as the relationship that I'll build with your animals. Expect to come back to a clean home and happy pups!
“Fallon was wonderful with Wolfy! She followed all of my instructions carefully, kept me updated, and made sure he was well taken care of. Wolfy was happy and comfortable when I got home. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney is fun, professional and reliable. She even came a little early twice when I was worried about my dog. She was even on standby when I was in the hospital and was afraid I might need back-up for the person taking care of my dog at the time She was sweet to my little dog Harris and I would definitely consider having her board at him her place sometime.”
“My first time using Rover. I booked with Rammiyah and she responded immediately for a same day service. She arrived an my home very quickly and walked my french bulldog. She even cleaned her up after the walk. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: As a proud dog owner and caregiver, I offer dependable, loving care with a personal touch. I have hands-on experience walking, feeding, and spending quality time with dogs of various breeds and sizes. Whether it's playtime, exercise, or sticking to a routine, I treat every dog with the same attention and care I give my own. Pet safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate different schedules, including daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I’m dependable and enjoy being able to give pets the attention and companionship they need. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always communicate if I notice anything unusual with their pet.
“Chantal was wonderful! She walked our 3 dogs daily while we were out of town during the 4th of July. She even went so far as to make sure that they were safe during the night that fireworks went off. I will definitely ask her to help us in the near future!”
“We’re so grateful for Abigail! This was our first time using Rover, and it was a last-minute request after I missed scheduling doggy daycare. She responded quickly, was open to receiving additional information, checked in when she arrived, and communicated clearly throughout the visit. I truly appreciated her professionalism and reliability. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Cousins, Neighbors, and family friends have all trusted me with taking care of their babies! With senior dogs, I tend to take my time with them as some may have mobility issues or cannot move around as much as a younger dog can. Nonetheless, all fur babies will be taken care of equally! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby/babies! I am off Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday! My schedule will work around them no matter what! While dogs aren't allowed at my house due to my mother being afraid of dogs, I believe that the babies will be comfortable in their already known space. Your fur baby will have the time of their lives safely and happily while I am watching over them!
About: With over 15 years of devoted pet care, I offer personalized attention and professional training expertise, ensuring your furry friend feels loved, safe, and well-behaved while you're away. I am currently not working, so I have very open availability, whether it be for sitting for a fews days or just taking them out. I have a large unfenced back yard with a 100ft leash, a two story house where your pet can run freely. I have a large crate that would fit even a big dog.
About: I’ve pet sit / walked cats and dogs of all ages, for former clients, friends and family. I love the special bond between animal and human. I am free during the beginning of the week starting Sunday at 2pm. I work full time during weekends, so during the week i am available to love your fur baby as much as they need. I have multiple play areas in the back of my complex to explore and play with your fur baby. I also can crate them if needed or requested.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and began pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to drive. My first job was at an animal shelter so I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Through pet sitting I have cared for rabbits, dogs, cats, lizards, fish, horses, and turtles. I am a dog mom to my sweet Violet and have previously adopted two cats. I cannot wait to love your animals as if they were my own! I am currently unemployed since recently moving here so I am available all days of the week. Just send me a message to confirm my availability! I sadly cannot pet sit at my own home due to my dog having severe anxiety around other animals but I would love to do pop ins, overnight watch, or simply walk your pets. Whatever your pet needs are, I will do my very best to meet them!
“This is the second time that Fallin has taken care of our dog and she is amazing! Very punctual and communicative and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! And Tux, our fur baby, loved her too! We will continue to book with Fallin in the future :)”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
