About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
About: A Lifelong Love of Animals & Care You Can Trust 🐾❤️ Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was involved in 4-H and had four dogs at different stages of my life, along with two hamsters, a rabbit, and fish. These experiences helped nurture my love for animals and my appreciation for the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs, cats, iguanas, chameleons, fish, and rabbits. In addition, I’ve volunteered at two horse barns, which gave me opportunities to spend time caring for and working around horses. Due to allergies within my household, I’m unable to have pets of my own right now. While I completely understand the need to keep my home pet-free, I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing something I truly love while helping other pet parents feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring, dependable hands. I know pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection. I may not be able to have a pet of my own right now, but I have a lifetime of love to share with yours! 🐶🐱🐰 Pet Care That Fits Your Schedule—and Mine! 🐾 As a busy mom of school-aged children, I understand the importance of balancing family life while making time for the things I love. Managing a household of six has taught me to be organized, dependable, and flexible. Pet care is a wonderful fit for my lifestyle because it allows me to share my love for animals while working around my family’s schedule. My weekday mornings and afternoons are generally very open, making me available to provide attentive, reliable care when you need it most. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My evening and weekend availability is more limited due to family commitments, but I’m always happy to discuss scheduling and see if we’re a good fit. My goal is to make life a little easier for you while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱G Respectful, Reliable Care in Your Pet’s Home: I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and approach every visit with respect, attention to detail, and clear communication. Having previously worked as a professional cleaner, I’m very comfortable entering and securing someone else’s home, respecting their belongings and personal space, and following specific instructions and expectations. I believe in establishing clear guidelines before each service so everyone feels comfortable and knows what to expect. I’m very detail-oriented and mindful of boundaries, both yours and your pet’s. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and make sure doors are locked and your home is secure when I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful pet care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being treated with the utmost care and respect. Your trust is something I value, and I want you to feel confident every time you welcome me into your home.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
