“Tori is so sweet and took great care of our dogs! The photos and updates put us at such ease. Our littlest one is shy and Tori helped her feel more confident to come around and engage. Our bigger dog loves Tori and took to her right away! Thank you, Tori, for excellent care and I’d recommend you to anyone!”


About: About Me: I believe pets thrive best when they can stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment. As a fellow pet parent raising a puppy, I understand firsthand the level of love, dedication, and patience required to keep our fur babies happy and safe. I specialize exclusively in in-home care offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. This ensures your pet gets 100% of my focused attention right where they feel most secure. I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness. Why Choose Me? Puppy Tested Patience: Raising a puppy means I am highly experienced with high energy, regular potty schedules, leash training, and positive reinforcement. Flexible Care Options: Whether you need a midday neighborhood walk, a quick drop-in check-up, or overnight care, I adapt completely to your pet's needs. Stress-Free Routines: By visiting your pet at home, they get to keep their exact eating, playing, and sleeping schedule completely uninterrupted. Constant Updates: You will receive sweet daily photo updates and texts so you always know your baby is happy and having fun. Loving Companionship: From active outdoor exercise to cozy couch cuddles, your pet will be treated like a loved member of my own family. As a puppy parent, my entire daily routine is already built around pet care, consistent schedules, and frequent breaks. Because I offer in-home services like house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, I structure my days specifically around my clients' needs. I dedicate mornings and late afternoons for active neighborhood walks and drop-ins, ensuring your pet gets their midday relief and exercise right on time. For overnight house sitting, my schedule allows me to settle into your home, providing dedicated evening companionship, bedtime snuggles, and morning routines just like you do. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when entering your home. Before our first booking, I always require a Meet & Greet to learn your pet’s unique personality, triggers, and household rules. When caring for your pet in their own environment, I do a quick safety sweep to ensure no loose hazards or toxic items are within reach. I practice absolute respect for your property by double-checking locks, secure fencing, and keeping your space clean. During walks, I use a secure leash hold, remain highly alert to our surroundings, and never let your pet off-leash or near strange dogs. You will receive real-time photo updates and text check-ins after every single visit so you have total peace of mind.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I also worked at a doggy daycare for three years, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During that time, I learned so much about how dogs communicate through their body language and behavior, which has helped me better understand their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is full of energy or just wants some extra cuddles, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and treating them like one of my own! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week! I would love to accept boarding mostly during the weekend. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep their daily routines as normal as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or just some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own!
About: I love animals (although you probably gathered that since I’m on Rover)! Animals are my passion, which has led me to work towards a degree in Wildlife Management at BYUI. I would love any opportunity I can get to care for and play with your pets, especially since I’m unable to have my own while at school. My main experience is with dogs! I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs (3) for 7+ years, and they have a special place in my heart. I also have cared for my previous neighbors dogs and horses on a regular basis. I know how to handle multiple issues, including illness, aggressive behavior, fear and anxiety, etc. While I didn’t grow up with cats, it’s doesn’t mean I don’t love them too! I’m happy to provide them with all of the love and care they need. On a side note, Rover does take 20% of your payment so I’m not actually earning everything you pay. If you think I did a good job at the end of my services and you are willing and able, any extra tips are appreciated (but not at all expected)! I’m a university student, but typically have gaps in between classes. I would be able to care for your pets before, after, and in between my classes if you are close to campus. I own a car, so for pet sitting if you live farther away from campus that is not a problem. Just know that depending on the distance my check-ins may not be as frequent. I would be able to check in regularly (if home-sitting), as well as give your dog/cat the attention they need. If walking, I know how to engage and work with dogs, which comes in handy when encountering other animals. I’ll make sure to give them plenty of love!
“Kaitlin is very communicative and was willing to go above and beyond for our pups. This is the second time she’s watched them, and they love her. Even our skittish doodle who is typically scarred of everyone including people she’s met multiple times warmed back up to her quickly. We will certainly request Kaitlin to care for our puppers again in the future. ❤️”

About: I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and even farm animals like pigs, cows, and horses. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from litters of kittens to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I love spending time with animals, especially taking dogs on walks and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals between classes and am able to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting while making sure pets stay comfortable, active, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

For dog walks, I focus on safety, patience, and making sure each dog gets the right pace and activity level for their needs and personality.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
