About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I truly see dogs and cats as part of the family, and I treat every pet in my care like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet stays happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality. In my home, pets receive lots of attention, regular walks or potty breaks, and a calm, safe environment. I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m respectful, clean, and treat both your pet and your home with care. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing whether at my home or yours.

Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
Joy is an absolute JOY to work with. Her attention to detail is fantastic and you can tell she truly cares about animals. She took amazing care of my 2 kitty girls while my family was on vacation 🩷 I’m so grateful for her and the care she gave my babies while I was away. I look forward to working with Joy again in the near future!!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.
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!

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.

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.

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 .
