“Sasha is a wonderful sitter. She is great with my pups and keeping in contact. One of my pups, an elderly boy, had recently had surgery which left a wound that needed tending to. Sasha did not hesitate to help with changing his bandages and administering his medication. It was a great weight from my mind knowing he was being taken care of. My boys all love when Sasha comes for her visits. It's evident in the many pictures she provides. I would highly recommend Sasha and her services for anyone looking for a wonderful pup sitter. I know my boys are taken care of with her. And as any dog parent knows, that is paramount.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She graciously accepted to check in on our 3 cats on short notice and did so great! She was reliable, followed our instructions and gave us peace of mind while away from our babies. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“If there was an option for 10 stars, I’d do it!! Ana was a fantastic support to us. From the first inquiry, she was incredibly responsive and communicative. We did a meet and greet so that Ana and our pup, Lady, could get to know each other and they bonded immediately. Ana had two days of drop ins and every visit came with a thorough report and a fabulous array of photos. Our dog was SO well taken care of, played with, and loved on. Lady even learned a few new tricks! I can’t say enough good things about Ana, we just feel so fortunate to find such a trusted, kind, communicative, and thoughtful person to take care of our pup. Thank you, Ana!! Lady is so excited to see you again soon.”
“Alexis was wonderful with my dog! She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I really appreciate how responsible and loving Alexis was. I would definitely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!”
About: With 12+ years in veterinary medicine, I bring a little more than belly rubs and a pocket full of treats to the job. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities—from wild puppies to sweet seniors and pets with medical or special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and following detailed care routines. I’ve also spent years helping rescue and rehabilitate animals, so I’m patient with nervous, anxious, or quirky pups who may need a little extra time to trust someone new. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog like I would my own—with plenty of attention, ridiculous conversations, and probably way too many pictures sent to you. Pet care has been part of my everyday life for over a decade, both professionally and personally. My schedule is currently flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, medications, and keeping your pet’s normal routine intact. I’m an early riser, active, and very used to planning my day around animals—because apparently they’ve been running my schedule for years anyway. With 12+ years of veterinary medicine experience, safety is always my priority. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications, caring for senior and special-needs pets, and following detailed care instructions. In your home, I respect your pet’s normal routine and environment and take the time to earn their trust rather than forcing interaction. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, because I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful—even when your pet is completely unbothered by your absence. 😂
“I had a wonderful experience having Riley watch my 2 dogs and cat. She really went above and beyond making sure they were comfortable and had plenty of playtime. Communication was also great and she took lots of awesome pictures of them having fun. Would absolutely book with Riley again!”
“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”
About: My Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I was raised around smaller dogs, so that’s what I grew up knowing first. As I got older, I started being around bigger breeds too, and over time I got just as comfortable with them. I’ve also grown up around horses, fish, rabbits, and different kinds of animals, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. A lot of what I know about dogs comes from actually growing up with them—seeing their different personalities, learning their routines, understanding when they want attention and when they need their space, and learning how much they rely on the people taking care of them. I’ve gotten to experience the fun parts of raising animals, but I’ve also experienced what it’s like to lose one. Going through that made me realize even more how much these animals become a part of your life. Because of that, when I take care of someone’s pet, I don’t look at them as just another dog I’m watching. I think about how I would want my own pets to be treated if I wasn’t there. I want them to feel comfortable with me, keep their normal routine, and have someone around who genuinely enjoys being with them. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure I have enough time to provide each pet with consistent, attentive care. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions, respect their space, and keep their pets’ routines consistent. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while providing a calm, loving environment.
About: Pet lover would be the most cliche answer but I genuinely love and care for all pets as if they were my own. I believe all pets have their own personality and I love when I get to experience that and know how to truly bond with them. I love to cuddle all pets that allow me, it’s my favorite part. Making pets happy brings me so much joy. I am currently employed with a 8-5 job Monday thru Friday. I am available during weekends and weekdays for stop in visits or to take your pet on a nice evening walk. I can stop by during after my day job to check on your pet provide them any play time, walk time, or just cuddles if you’re not around. I can do at home visit during the weekend for majority of the day and make sure your pet is receiving all companionship and love they need !
“Super nice, professional and flexible. And did a great job with my cat. Highly recommended. It's great to have this peace of mind when I go out of town for work.”
“Brittnay is awesome! So kind and has amazing communication. She checked in with me everyday and sent pics. Definitely recommend her for watching your fur babies!!”
About: I currently a part time nails tech, I went to people houses and every single client who have dogs and they're so friendly so I would like to join in the team and want to become a sitter, petting and playing with them 😍 Currently my kids are out of school for summer I have panty of time to join what I love to do, even when they go back to school I can do during school hours I have a big background with fences and a cat at home, my kids would love to be around and play, hope to see your pet here with us
“Lauren does a wonderful job taking care of our large pups! We are so lucky to have found her! She is a great communicator, makes sure to follow routines, and shares detailed updates after visits. Our dogs are young with a lot of energy and she always spends time playing fetch with them before she leaves. She even made time for a meet and greet before scheduling our first visit.”
“Adalyne was great and communicated with me throughout my weekend away - I always stress about leaving my 2 dogs for any amount of time, but I came home to super happy puppies 😊”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned a Yorkie for most of my life and have regularly cared for larger dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m attentive, patient, and very observant, so I pick up on changes in behavior, energy, or comfort quickly. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine. I follow care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time. I’m typically available before 7:30am and after 4pm on weekdays and have flexibility on the weekends. I’m dependable about scheduling, communication, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize safety and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, but I primarily keep dogs indoors to ensure comfort and safety, especially during colder weather. I’m careful about leashes, gates, and doors, follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and maintain a calm, clean environment so they feel comfortable and secure.

We had the best experience with Jenn. Her communication, professionalism, kindness, and personality were/are top notch. I felt most comfortable leaving our boys in her care than I really have with anyone else we've worked with in the past. I highly, highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again. She is the best and such a pleasure! Our boys were in great hands with her! Thank you so much Jenn!!!
I had a wonderful experience having Riley watch my 2 dogs and cat. She really went above and beyond making sure they were comfortable and had plenty of playtime. Communication was also great and she took lots of awesome pictures of them having fun. Would absolutely book with Riley again!
Iremar is an amazing dog sitter to Oreo and Bailey. She truly treated them with so much respect, love, and as if they were her own. She constantly keeps in communication with photos and text messages one thing I truly appreciate it sincerely. If you are looking for a reliable dog sitter I highly recommend Iremar to be you pick. I can’t wait to book her services again.

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.

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.
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 .
