“I had a lot of nerve to use this service because for my canelo he is like my baby and he has a precise and careful routine. but since my interview with mary I knew that he was the right one and it was the best success, the best decision, if you are one of the humans who take care of and treat your furry like the kings of the house mary is undoubtedly the indicated. I respect his food schedules, I share with canelo lowering his anxiety levels with strategic walks and he always kept an eye on his care specials like changing diapers. I am very happy with the professionalism of your services. thank you mary, professionals like you give a lot of credit to this application.”

About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them
About: I have a home with 4 dogs! I have a Staffordshire terrier, Pyrenees pit, Border Collie/ Pyrenees and a Labrador, so I have lots of experience with dogs of different breeds and needs.

I can dedicate entire days to taking care of your pups. I dedicate hours each day taking care of my own, prioritizing exercise. I have a fenced yard and a completely dog-safe home. My dogs are treated as family! I allow them on furniture and ensure that nothing is out that could harm them. I also have 3 crates in the home, in case your baby needs a safe place to go!
About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!

About: I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.
About: I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, that’s why I prioritize safety, communication, and routine. I provide clear updates, quick responses, and dependable care every time. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, and I take the time to understand each dog individually. My focus is creating a calm, positive experience so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Part-time healthcare worker, available weekdays and some weekends! Willing to do drop ins, walks when available, and potentially overnight care. I am structured but flexible, and I only take a limited number of pets at a time to provide focused care.

Whether that’s structured walks for a high energy dog or quiet company for a shy cat, I adjust to what they need. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication are always a priority to me
About: With my pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of genuine love and special skills that set me apart.

About: Aside from growing up with dogs in the house, I am an experienced dog owner and U.S. Navy veteran with a strong understanding of structure, reliability, and attentive care. I own a Belgian Malinois, so I’m especially comfortable handling high-energy and working breeds that need exercise, consistency, and engagement. I provide a safe, active, and calm environment with plenty of walks, playtime, and personalized attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a Belgian Malinois owner. My days are structured around exercise, walks, playtime, training, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and giving them consistent attention. Caring for dogs naturally fits into my schedule and lifestyle especially during the summer months while not in school. -When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and maintaining a familiar environment to reduce stress. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. -When on walks, I prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort while keeping walks controlled and enjoyable. I avoid unsafe situations, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while feeling secure and cared for.
About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now.

I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Runaway Bay stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
