About: When my husband and I moved in together 5 years ago, we decided to foster dogs knowing that we were not ready for the lifelong commitment of a pet of our own. I was raised in Raleigh with cats and backyard chickens, and he was raised on an NC farm with cats, dogs, chickens, and goats. We both LOVE animals and decided to foster with Australian Shepherds Furever Fostering agency during the pandemic. We successfully took in, trained, and found homes for 5 wonderful dogs - each with different needs and have helped out with other dogs in the agency. When we were no longer able to take on the full commitment of fostering, we transitioned to dogsitting and have cared for 1-2 dogs at a time over the past 4 years. Currently, we do not have a foster or a dog or our own at our house and are available to dogsit and care for other animals. We especially love caring for senior dogs and dogs who like to go on runs and hikes. I typically am available 3 days a week and any doggy daycare guests I have with me will have more full attention to follow me around, go for walks and play in our backyard, and occasionally go on field trips to a public park, cafes, or meetup with another dog friend. I bake homemade dog treats frequently as well and the dogs love to help bake! I have used martingale collars and harnesses on all of our fosters and have extra leashes. I have a fully fenced backyard and 2 different sized crates available if needed. My house is fully puppy-proofed, I have a variety of different types of dog toys for both mental and physical stimulation, and I am very flexible with accommodating special requests for all of our dog guests. When I am available to care for dogs on my days off or weekends, I am fully available to be with them and I love to take backyard fetch and potty breaks in the morning and afternonon and longer walks/runs at lunch or in the evening. For dogs that are boarding with me, we like to plan dog-friendly activities in the evenings whether that's going to a dog park, a cafe, watching a movie at home on the couch together, or doing house projects. I love having a dog by my side at all times, and they love it too. All dogs will receive a full sniff-tour of our house and yard upon arrival so that they are comfortable with their surroundings. Our house has been rigorously puppy-proofed for safety and our backyard is fully fenced. Whenever dogs go out into the backyard, I am out there with them to supervise, play, and ensure that they are safe at all times. All dogs in my care will receive positive-reinforcement for good behavior and maybe a treat or two with permission of the owner.
“Miranda was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats! They took a liking to her instantly and I knew I was in good hands. She checked in daily and took care of them like they were her own. I would deff be booking with Miranda again!”
“Shawna was absolutely fantastic! We hired her last minute for a drop in visit to our house. One of our dogs is extremely shy around most people but he warmed up to her very quickly.”
“Leanne is a wonderful pet sitter. She kept our sweet little T-Rex (aka Aussie mini) and border collie happy and feed while we were away. She is prompt with notifications and great at taking cute pictures of your fur babies. We would highly recommend Leanne for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Animal lover with a home to share. I have had pets since I was little and promote positive reinforcement with my pet training. I live on 3.75 acres with access to many walking trails right from the house and love to have a good excuse to get outside through out the day. I work for myself from home so I am very flexible and do not have any other pets that live with me at the moment. I would be happy to help you out when you are away!

I have a fenced portion of my yard and do not have any other pets in the home. I am clean and do not have a lot of clutter so there is not a lot of stuff for pets to get into.

Paige was very understanding and willing to work with Buzz. She listened to my concerns and asked follow up questions.Buzz is very dog reactive due to being attacked by an off leash dog and she handled him with care. I would recommend Paige! She's also very communicative!
Leanne has been great to work with. I broke my arm and she was able to get me in last minute for dog walks and has been super flexible with timing. Also, my extremely leash reactive dogs don’t react when she’s walking them, so she must be some sort of dog whisperer! Highly recommend!

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 Salida 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.
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 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.
