About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I can train puppies and take care of senior dogs. I have experience with it all. My father used to raise and train puppies since I was 10, so that’s where I get the magic spark from. I am so passionate to take care of, and to love on animals. I have three dogs of my own that we have raised since they were little. I work part-time, and have flexible hours, so I am available for your pups whenever you need a babysitter! Day or night, I can help! When I take care of these pups, I like to chat with the owner about their expectations for the house, and for their pup. Follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime. If accidents happen, clean them up as soon as possible. Stay out of rooms or areas the owner has marked as off-limits. Keep your belongings tidy and out of the way. Keep the volume down. I like to keep owners updated with text and pictures. I also like to do a quick tidy-up before the owner gets back to their sweet pup 🐶!
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!
“It’s our first time using Rover and we are so happy that we found Laura! We have two dogs, one an anxious senior and one a rambunctious pup. Laura took great care of them both! She stuck to the schedule we discussed and it made our vacation much easier knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We will definitely use Rover again and, hopefully Laura if she is available.”
About: Lifelong dog owner • Australian Shepherd mom at heart • Big believer in adventure and enrichment. Beach runs, open fields, and lots of love included. As a Navy sailor, I know how difficult time away from your dog can be. My goal is to make sure your pup lives a full life even when you’re away. I am currently working a full-time job, and my schedule changes every week so availability changes and varies. If you need someone to take your dog on a walk right before you get home from work, or you are going on a weekend trip, I’m more then happy to take care of your fur baby!! As of right now, I am offering dog walking service, and also day visits. I will respect your home, and your animals. I want to offer the best experience I can while checking in to see your pup or getting their energy out from taking them on a nice walk to get out of the home!
“Donald was an excellent care provider for my dog. He was always on time always sent great pictures. Handled my dogs health issues with ease and confidence. My dog even started to like him”
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. It was nice to come home and not have to clean up after the cats because Lindsay was so diligent about doing everything I requested on her visits.”
About: I've always loved animals and have owned dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have also spent the last 4 years working in a dog daycare setting. We specialized in dog behavior and play. I also have a few months experience as a veterinary technician. I understand the basics of health needs and am able to administer medications should your pet need it. I do work full time, but I can be flexible with your needs and schedule. Pet care is where I want to be so I can make things work. I ask pet parents to provide a list of rules or routines that they have for their pets to maintain a sense of normalcy while the parent is away.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!
“Kariah did such a great job caring for my dogs as I took a day trip. She kept me informed the whole time, walked me through what she did, and sent me plenty of pictures. I will be sure to use her the next time I am out.”
“Zoi saved the day. I had my first day of nursing school orientation and couldn’t find anyone able to check on my new pup while I was away and she came to my rescue by taking my last minute request. She was so adoring with Josie and gave me all the confidence that my baby was in capable and loving hands. She is the kindest soul, an excellent communicator, and went above and beyond what I had asked. She has made a returning client out of me!”
“My mother had an emergency medical issue and I could not be there to help her care for her pup Hannah. On super short notice Jennifer saved the day. She has been a lifesaver. I am beyond grateful to have found her. I can breathe easier knowing that I have Jennifer to call on. Hannah LOVES her and thats all I needed to know. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You”

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met Austyn it was clear how much she genuinely cares about her animals. Our pets were happy and well cared for the entire time away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us a piece of mind, knowing our dogs are in good hands. Austyn is reliable, professional, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pets!
Eboni had been wonderful! I've been working with her for several months. I employed her help in the beginning to train my dog, which she was eager to do, because he was very reactive but now he is very comfortable with her. She is kind, professional, punctual, and is a proactive communicator. I happily look forward to continue working with Eboni. She's been great!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Marys choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Saint Marys with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
