“Nikki was great looking after our animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Out dog warmed up to her faster than most and the cat allowed her to apply topical medication. She was very professional and punctual, had all the right paperwork, all the things that out me at ease while we were away for a weekend.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10. I’ve always had dogs cats and various other pets. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggie door. Your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have experience taking care of elderly pets and administering medication. I can provide vet references. I am currently not working so I am available for your pet 24/7. Your pet can curl up in bed and sleep with my other dogs. I have a fenced in yard and 4 gentle dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Your pet can sleep in doggie bed in my bed with the other dogs or in a crate.
About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle! I would treat your pet like a part of my family. I've always had dogs growing up and love having them as companions. I would walk your pet in the mornings and evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship. I would adhere to the schedule for your pet and would not adjust (no people food, etc). I would let your fur babies out in the morning, again at lunch time, and would be at your residence for the rest of the day and night, starting at 4:30pm on workdays, and all day and night on the weekends. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I take pet sitting very seriously and want to be the person that you could depend on to look after your fur family.
About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have 2 dogs, a purebred 32lb female Siberian Husky & a Designer Breed 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained. Both are fully registered ESA (Emotional Support Animals) & I take that very seriously as to their training & how exactly I want them to behave. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly (about 14) & required a lot of extra love, care & attention also. So I am also compassionate about animals that need some extra loving. *I offer very basic kitty care. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragons myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake, or your spider!) ***I offer potty breaks, walks, playtime, feed & water breaks, treat time, medication administration ALL in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so if you have a male I allow ONLY altered ones at this time.
About: I’ve been around animals (dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish!) my whole life! I’ve also helped by dropping by to check on my neighbors animals as well. I’m also going to school for dog training! I’m currently working a full time job, I work 10-7 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday but I can stop by before and after work! I can also come by on my lunches as well! My off days are Wednesdays and Saturdays Don’t see a date available? Message me and we can talk to see what works! My animals are my whole life! I will treat your baby’s as my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable and safe while I’m around!
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”
“WOW!!! How fantastic it is to find someone who loves your pets (kittens) as much as Dayna. From the first meet & greet we new Dayna was the perfect pet sitter. Bowie & Iggy took to her immediately. Dayna made sure we got pics everyday at both visits and we even got some FaceTime in on Sunday morning. They were well cared for...and didn't miss us quite as much as I hoped they would LOL. (Translated...they got plenty of playtime & kitten cuddles with someone who genuinely cares). Definitely a repeat customer when the next trip comes up. 😻😽😺”
“Camryn is absolutely wonderful! She was so friendly right from the start, and it was clear my three cats loved her. She communicated every day and sent great photos that gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I started training dogs at a very young age, and decided to make it into a career a few years ago. I specialize in fearful and reactive dogs, the overlooked and misunderstood. I have a part time job on the side . Even on the other days I am working elsewhere, I’m always working with dogs. We can always work around work schedules If your dog is up for it- I will include your dog in my daily life as if they’re part of the family. If they prefer a place to be calm by themselves, I have an area for that as well! I also do in home training, as well as meeting up at dog friendly locations depending on the need of the dog.
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!
About: I’ve taken care or both cats and dogs for 14 years since I was 5. I’ve learned pets body language over the years and know just want they need . I have free time during the week to stay with your pets for a few hours and over the weekends I have can stay overnight to look after them. I will stay where I can see them when I am over and if they need their space I will allow them that but they are always monitored and if they go silent I will check on them constantly.
“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I've always been the one that my family or friends call to take care of their animals. I, myself have a 2 year old Beagle who has my heart, She has been my bestfriend since day one. I also dog sit for 2 bulldogs regularly. I'm currently only working part time so I have lots of extra time to give the right love and attention to as many dogs, and my own as I can. I have watched many videos and have lots of practice to insure the safety of myself and the pet I'm taking care of. Building a relationship with each animal is the start of everything. I not only want to provide services but I also want your pet to love having me around.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and always grew up around dogs cats, fish, and even lizards. Neighbors, family members, and friends have always relied on me to take good care of their pets when they need a sitter. I also have my own dog who I raised since she was a puppy, and we are always outside walking, hiking, and exploring! Pet care is an important part of my everyday routine. I own an Australian Shepherd so I make sure that my high energy breed is stimulated and taken care of every day. Even when my personal schedule feels busy, caring for my pup is never a chore and I find great enjoyment in it! In my home, pets are a part of my family. I include my pup in most aspects of my life and love the bond we have. Every dog has a unique personality and requires different care. I’m committed to making sure I give your pet the care they need.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
