“Love Caryna! She sent me photos everyday of my dogs while I was away! She loves my dogs and they love her... I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch my dogs when me and my fiancé are away”

“We had such a great experience with Faviana! She helped us out for three days and did an amazing job. My puppy loved her right away, and she kept me updated with excellent communication the whole time. She also made sure the house was safe and secure before leaving each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m very happy with her care and will definitely be rebooking with her many more times!”

About: have loved animals since I was very young. Growing up, I was surrounded by cats and dogs, and I'm accustomed to pet-sitting and dog-walking for family and friends. Making new furry friends is always a fun and exciting experience for me. I’m also currently learning to be a vet assistant. I work part-time, so my schedule varies slightly week to week. But I always do my best to find times that work for both of us. I’m happy to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs just send me a message and we can figure out a schedule that fits. I try to stick with the pet's routine as best as possible. I am also very cautious about following any specific directions. I will try to accommodate you as best as possible to make your furry friend safe and comfy!
“Caitlin is wonderful. We were stranded out of town for 48 extra hours on our trip and she stepped right up, taking great care of our dog on those unexpected days. We always have a little anxiety leaving our elder dog and then to have extra days on top - but Caitlin communicates with each visit and provides photos so we can see our old girl is doing just fine. Thank you!!”


“Haley stopped in to check on our cats for a few days, and we are so grateful! She played and took care of our kitties and sent great notes/pictures each day. We are always missing our cats when we travel, so knowing they were in good hands made us feel so much better. Thank you Haley!”

About: With 10 years of dog-sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of every size, from the tiniest Chihuahuas to big, lovable Pit Bulls and everything in between. I truly love all dogs and don’t believe any breed should be judged. Every dog has their own unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. You can count on me to provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll always care for them just like they’re part of my own family. I work from home every Monday, so I’ll be with your pup throughout the day for plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. From Tuesday through Friday, I work in the office from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, exercise, and quality time. On the weekends, I’m typically home and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to spend even more time with your furry friend. I don’t have any children or other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I live in a safe, gated community with a beautiful dog park and a large pond with walking paths, providing the perfect environment for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I pride myself on being dependable, honest, and extremely trustworthy. I’ll always care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I also have excellent recommendations from previous clients who can speak to the quality of care, reliability, and love I provide. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pup is safe, happy, and in caring hands.

About: As an animal lover and devoted dog mom, I know that our pets are family. I don’t see pet care as just a job—I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and all the little things that help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, medication, potty breaks, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to give them the same love and attention I give my own babies.

I am available any day of the week and I will even accept late notices because life happens :) I like to make sure I keep the pets I’m taking care of entertained because I know they will be missing their owners so I know the extra measure is required as pets get sad easily.

I’m very attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—and work hard to make sure you feel just as confident and at ease as they do! I work remotely, so thankfully I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m around to make sure they’re cared for consistently—whether that’s walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks or anything else they might need. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept and only take on clients when I can provide their pets the level of care and attention they deserve. My goal when caring for your pet while you’re away is always the same—to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home, while also giving you, their pawrent, complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!

Allison took excellent care of my pets - dropping in multiple times a day and even going above and beyond picking up after there mini house renovations and bathroom stops outside! She managed multiple feeding scheudles and meds. Our pets were stress free during our trip because of Allison's care. We will be continuing to book with Allison for our pet care.

Ilene is the best! She meet with us ahead of time to introduce herself and meet our 4 babies before our vacation. She was so kind and communicated every step of the way. We felt so at ease while we were away! She took pictures and gave updates. Ilene is a true animal lover and we will definitely be rebooking with her! Thank you so much for Ilene for your care for our babies while we were away!

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 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.
