About: a lifelong dog lover. Pets are family and people just like us. Giving every animal out there the love and attention they all deserve. ❤️ I have flexible career that allows me to create my own schedule and gives be the opportunity to be more available to personal matters elsewhere My home features are fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for dogs to exercise and play. I am very diligent about leash safety, whether we’re on a walk, visiting a new area, or if a dog benefits from additional control and security I use a leash and closely supervise them at all times.
“They have been awesome getting us through our first month of puppydom! They have been extremely reliable and thorough. Our Mack has been loved. I’m so thankful for their service!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!
“Gaby was amazing! She did EVERYTHING we asked and sent so many cute pictures of our little kitties! It made our day every time she did this and we're going to ask for HER SPECIFICALLY next time we need to go out of town. Thanks so much Gaby!”
“We had such a great experience! Everything went smoothly, communication was excellent, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and the care and attention given throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“Monica is fantastic! She was available last minute and able to come extra sessions when we found out we weren't able to get back in time from out of town. She leaves the place in great shape and sends pictures at every visit. We are so blessed to have found her!”
About: What sets me apart is my background as a teacher, which brings patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-walking experience. I also have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own special needs Great Dane, giving me a deep understanding of large breeds and pets with unique requirements. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a work from home teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I love incorporating it into my routine; it’s a rewarding way to stay active, spend time with animals, and provide dependable, thoughtful care when pet owners need it most. I am strictly just walking dogs at the moment. But my dog is treated like family and that’s the same way I would treat your dog. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, and affection. I’m attentive to pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, or extra cuddle time, or maybe a break for water. I follow any specific instructions from owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while they’re with me.
“Heather took very good care of my cats and turtle while I was out of town . She is very professional and thorough with her care for animals. I would recommend her services !!!!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our dogs, Nico and Nora, while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always punctual, incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely loving with both of our dogs. She also made such a great impression during our meet-and-greet by being so sweet and patient with my little girl, which meant a lot to us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring hands while we were away. Katie is truly a wonderful person, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint John
Sydney watched our 2 kitties for a week while we were on vacation. When I met her and saw her passion for animals, and kindness I knew she would do a good job. Every check in she gave great updates, and pictures which made me feel at ease. I could tell the boys liked her too from the pictures she sent! She also followed all care/house instructions as well. I’m extremely thankful I found her to care for our cats, and look forward to her helping us in the future!!

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 .

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 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.
