About: Hi, I’m Sabrina ! I have been surrounded by all types, shapes, and sizes of animals my entire life. Over the last 6+ years, I’ve channeled that lifelong passion into dedicated, hands-on pet care. As the proud owner of two Pit Bulls and a small Pekinese 🐶🐶🐶🐾 I know exactly what it takes to handle large, strong, and powerful breeds safely on a leash. I am entirely confident managing pullers and high-energy dogs, but I am equally gentle, patient, and attentive with small breeds. No matter the size, your dog's safety and happiness are always my top priorities.✨🐾 ☀️ Flexible Morning & Afternoon Availability I specialize in daytime care! I am available for walks and drop-in visits during mornings and afternoons. This makes me the perfect fit for your midday pet care needs while you are at work, at school, or running errands. 🏡 Reliable Drop-In Visits for Dogs & Birds Need someone to check on your pets while you're away for the day? I offer dependable drop-in visits tailored entirely to your pet's routine. I look forward to reading their body language the moment I step through your door to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I am fully experienced and proudly offer care for: Dogs: Fresh food/water, potty breaks, backyard games, or a solid neighborhood walk to burn off energy. Birds: Checking cages, refreshing seed/water, and ensuring their environment is safe and secure. Home Security: I am always highly respectful of your space and will ensure your home is locked up tight, sending you detailed updates and photos after every single visit. I know how hard it can be to find a handler you can truly trust with your family members. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving you complete peace of mind! Let's schedule a Meet & Greet today!🫶🏼💃
“My Tortie and my Pittie love her. She’s even gone above and beyond and put together a cat tree that’s been partially finished in my front room for months. Just wish my Maine Coon mix would come out from hiding for her.”
“Lesly was a perfect match for my kitty! She loved to give him affection & play with him daily. We could tell by all the pictures and videos that they became fast friends! We would trust Lesly to stay & visit with our kitty anytime-she is highly recommended”
About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician with over 5 years of hands-on experience in both general practice and emergency veterinary medicine. From routine check-ups to urgent care, I've seen it all—and I bring that same calm, compassionate approach to every pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've owned both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and I’m currently the proud pet parent of two sweet pups: Maggie, a lovable Golden Retriever, and Sally, a playful Goldendoodle. They keep life exciting—along with my two amazing kids! Now working full-time as an auditor, I still miss the daily interaction with animals, which is why I love offering pet care through Rover. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just a little TLC while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. I’d love to meet your furry family member and help give them the care and attention they deserve! I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but I’m available for: Evening Walks & Drop-In Visits on weekdays after 4:00 PM Weekend Walks, Drop-Ins & Overnight Stays — fully available Fridays after 4:00 PM through Sunday evening Holiday Availability upon request I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always communicate clearly to ensure your furry friend gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and explore under close supervision. Inside my home, there’s a dedicated, pet-friendly area set up to ensure a calm and secure environment, complete with cozy resting spots, pet gates, and plenty of enrichment. My home is fully pet-proofed, and I can easily accommodate pets who are crate trained or have specific routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications or caring for pets with special needs, thanks to my experience as a veterinary technician. Before any stay or service, I offer meet & greets to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and my home—and to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, I’ll treat them with the love and patience they deserve. Your furry family member will be cared for like one of my own!
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have owned dogs since I was little. Caring for them comes naturally to me, and I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive and loving, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I have experience with daily care such as feeding, bathing, playtime, and taking dogs to the vet when needed. I enjoy spending quality time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply giving them love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and very observant, so I quickly notice if something seems off. What sets me apart is the genuine care and heart I put into every pet. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I work from home from Friday through Tuesday, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. On weekends, I’m fully off, so I can dedicate even more time to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide 24-hour supervision for boarding, including regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, walks, and lots of affection. Pets are never left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who love having company and help create a fun, social environment, while I always monitor interactions closely. I follow each pet’s routine and preferences carefully and communicate with owners regularly. If crating is requested, I’m happy to do so but I will never crate a dog without the owner’s permission. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving space where pets feel secure and cared for at all times.
“Kaitlin was great! She agreed to watch my cats for three days even with Freya being a little under the weather, which I really appreciated. She followed their feeding schedule, was so kind and caring with them, and kept me updated while I was away. I especially loved that she asked me to let her know how Freya is doing after I got home—it really showed that she genuinely cared about her. I felt really comfortable having my cats in her care and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life ever since i was born. i treat my own 3 as if they are my actual babies (i mean they are!) I am so excited to be taking care of your baby soon. I am home from my first class around 11:30 am, my second around 5 pm and can get to you pretty quick depending on how far you live. feed them on schedule, provide fresh water, give exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and offer comfort and attention. Always follow the client’s specific instructions.
“Joy was amazing and truly exceeded our expectations! She took great care of our dog and cat, and they both absolutely loved her. She was reliable, attentive, and gave us so much peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Best dog sitter ever, all my worries were gone. I got home and can tell my dog had a good time with Hannah. Definitely would recommend her very attentive, understanding and loving to dogs”
About: Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ducks, and chicks. Being around so many different animals taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing meals and fresh water, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow their specific care instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I do work full time so this is definitely more of a part time job for me :) but I will work best with you as my schedule allows! Im over the top when it comes to love and caring for animals so I will make sure to meet the necessary standards on making you feel comfortable and safe leaving your animals in my care.
About: Hello to you and your fur-babies! My name is Coral. I'd love to tell you a little about myself. I've always been an AVID animal lover. I appreciate the love and joy that pets bring to our lives. They deserve the best care at all times and I love being someone who can contribute to that. I'm so happy and excited to be starting on Rover. It's been a while since I've worked in pet care and I truly miss it. I have 6+ years of experience working in pet boarding, daycare, and grooming facilities, as well as volunteer experience in shelters. In my free time, I love to pet sit for friends and family as well. With that experience I've learned to administer medication orally/with food, care for senior dogs and puppies, and adapt to different temperaments and behaviors in pets. My number one priority is your pets safety. I'm familiar with pet body language, mannerisms, and dynamics. I'll make sure I learn your pet so that I can provide the best care for them specifically. Every animal has different needs and I will always be flexible in order to meet those needs. My second priority is making sure your baby has stimulating fun and activity so you come home to them happy and satisfied. You have a guarantee that I'll give your baby safe care and a great time! Can't wait to meet you! 🐾 Because I spend most of my time at home, my schedule is flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available throughout the week and select Saturdays during late mornings, afternoons, and evenings, giving me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. With years of professional animal care experience, your pets safety and comfort is always my top priority. I keep living areas clean, hazard-free, and I'm respectful of both you and your baby's home and space. I carry pet-safe deterrent spray on walks for extra protection and peace of mind, send frequent photo updates, and do whatever it takes to ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Nichole took such great care of Ninja while we were on vacation over the holiday's. Knowing he was well cared for was such a relief. We also loved getting the pictures of him! Thanks Nichole for your professionalism and kindness. 10/10 would definitely book again.”
“We only needed them temporarily but they did a great job taking care of our fur baby and making sure he had plenty of attention and exercise in the middle of the day.”

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.
