About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
About: Hi there! I’m Hailey, I currently work at an animal shelter and have worked at a dog & cat boarding place in the past. I am very experienced with caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs! I also have experience giving oral medications to dogs and am CPR certified as well. I work full time from 8-4 Mondays and 8-5 Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Sundays. So my availability would be before or after those times. Or anytime on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays. I am always excited to meet new animals! I always treat them like they are my own pets and will take great care of them!
“Angel is amazing! She communicates very well and swiftly. She pays attention to your dogs food and water intake. Will even go the extra mile by washing out the water bowl. A great sitter overall!!”
About: My experience includes… • dog walking (short and long walks) • feeding • interactive play • administering medication • bathing and grooming (large and small dogs/ some cats) Im currently a part time college student, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m available 4 days out of the week, but I can be flexible. I love going on walks and I love animals, so taking your fur baby for a stroll would be my pleasure. Before sitting in a clients home, I like to become familiar with what their pet’s day to day life looks like. I like to know what the pet is comfortable/uncomfortable with. I also like to familiarize myself with their feeding/ medication schedule. My goal is to make sure that all pets that I care for are safe and happy. For dogs that are able to, I ensure at least one 15-20 min walk per visit, and maybe even a visit to the dog park if there is one within walking distance. Interactive play is also something that I like to incorporate, whether it’s outside or inside! I can also get pets in and out of crates if need be.
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs my entire life, there is no animal too big or too small. I've cared for dogs ranging from shetland sheep dogs to huskies. My love for animals has grown, I have two cats and two hedgehogs. I work 9-5 M-F. Weekends are completely open. Tell me what you need and I can accommodate. I can come before or after work, stay night as needed Pet proofing space, avoiding choking hazards, unsafe foods, securing trash cans, ensuring there is no escape to outdoors, and supervised socialization. Respecting property, following all protocols given by owner
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!”
“Ember is very caring and compassionate with our cats. She demonstrated having our fur babies best interest in mind as she took the time to research a new technique for administering medication. She even taught us a trick or two which was very helpful!!”
“Zana provided excellent feedback to me daily, as well as photos. She showed my babies the love and affection they need and for that I would recommend and rehire her. I appreciate all that she provided for me, Angel,Harper, and Griffin...🐾🐾🐾”
About: Hey friends! I’m confident I’d be a good fit for your fur babies because I grew up around dogs in my immediate and extended family, and I baby-sat families in my neighborhood with pets for years. I understand what animals need—safety, attention, respect, play, and rest—as I was step-parent to the sweetest Maine Coon/Calico named Reece for 6 years. I’ve looked after dogs & cats from varying breeds, of different ages and temperaments, so I’m adaptable and sensitive to the diverse and unique characteristics of your pets. Under my care, your pets will be loved as my own would be! As I work remotely and for myself in the e-commerce space, I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your sitting needs! I’m a professional shopper/reseller, so every day looks different for me, but I have complete control over how often/when/where I work. Ideally, my clients would value my wide availability while appreciating that I do also work part-time. When I’m caring for and looking after pets, my first priority is always to make sure they’re safe and that their individual unique needs are met. That includes being fed according to their specific dietary preferences, walked and/or played with, and that their environment is as familiar and clean as possible. Cats and dogs obviously have different needs (some overlapping) and I love and treat them equally.
About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.
About: I have had pets since I was young, and until I had to move away for college I was the primary care giver for both a cat and a dog. I loved ensuring that my pets were happy and healthy. As a waitress I work mostly at night, so I will be mostly available in the mornings and afternoons. However, on my days off I will be available at all times if the day. My top priority will always be the comfort of you and your pets, no matter the service. I will always put your pets needs first.
“We love Alyssa!! She has taken excellent care of our cats, Misty & Fae. Leaving them is always hard, but Alyssa makes it easier with notes & pictures from each drop-in visit. She gives medications to Misty in the morning with her breakfast. We always leave instructions of their feeding schedule, foods, Misty's medications, etc. Misty eats a different food for urinary care. Alyssa knows their routine from caring for them in the past, but asked if there were any changes to the feeding schedule or medicine, which we appreciated. We trust her and know we can rely on her for great care of our cats while we are away. We will request her every time!! 🐾🐾”
About: I love dogs, they are the most kind ,loving ,goofy animals out there and making sure they get enough exercise is soo important to keeping them healthy. I want to help you have a calm dog after working all day! I understand how hectic schedules can be and it can cause even more of a headache coming home to a mess, or your super energetic dog that's been inside just craving attention! I have 2 dogs and if myself or my husband dont make time for them it's a hassle at the end of a long day. We make sure to have them on a schedule too for eating so we don't have any accidents. The importance of schedules and exercise is what they need to function everyday I am currently working 1 to 7pm most days so mornings and late evenings work perfectly for my schedule for walks or visits, feedings and medications I have a fenced in yard at my house, cameras in the back and lights at night. We go on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch outside, sometimes my dogs like to watch me garden and try to help 😀
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
About: I've had pets since I was born and as soon as I was able, I did everything I could to take care of them. Once I got old enough, I began pet sitting for family friends and neighbors which includes feeding pets, taking them on walks, bathing them, etc. I have moved recently and am living without pets for the first time in a while and feel as if I am missing a part of my life. I am a full time college student but have mostly open availability except for Thursdays. Otherwise, I am only busy after 5 on Wednesdays and before 1 on Tuesdays. When watching your pet, I will do everything I can to provide the same love and care that you do. I will give them my utmost attention, exercise them, love them, and take every step necessary to providing them with full care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Laura came over to do a meet and greet and I knew that while I was out of town our dogs would be 100% good to go! She was very kind and gave great updates/photos of Gunnar and Juno while I was away. Also brought in our packages too. I will not hesitate rebooking with Laura in the future! Thank you so much for everything!
Maya was great! She visited before the booking to ensure she was familiar with our home and our cat. The cat typically hides but came out for Maya right away and hung out with her during each visit! Maya did everything we asked and went above and beyond, bringing in mail and packages. She was prompt, communicative, and a huge help! We highly recommend working with Maya!
Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sherwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
