About: I've rescued and raised around 20 cats, multiple chickens, dogs, rats, and even a turtle!! I love all kinds of animals and I strongly cherish the ability to help them in any way I can! Im planning on going to college next semester, so I will have a lot of time to take care of (and play with) your babies! I greatly care for animal's boundaries, and I will never put your animal in any uncomfortable situation. I don't mind going out of my way for any accommodations!
About: I grew up with five dogs from small to large. And now I love the crap out of dogs. I'm known as the dog whisperer at the dog parks. Definitely will have lots of cuddles, chases around the house, and lots of dogs to play and socialize with. At home, the dogs will have the run of the home. And my dog will leave them alone. I generally have other dogs that get along well. I have a small fenced yard so they have free access to potty in the backyard as I leave the door open. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Generally I'll take the dogs on at least one 1.5mile jog per day. And then whatever rough housing they get into around the house. Animals have free roam of the house. I have a fenced yard although it's small there is a doggy door so they can get in and out.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have spent half my life caring for them! I've been lucky to have all my living situations infused with pets - usually dogs. I always act as part-time carer. Walks, hanging out, feeding? Easy. Sneaking medicine in treats? I've had to trick a couple of dogs in my time. The messy bits - poop, vomit...I am unphased. I currently live with the sweetest diabetic doggy - I am a deft hand at giving shots. I've watched a number of dogs while owners are out of town - whatever their needs, sun-up to sun-down, I've been there and am excited to be there again. I've also spent my share of time with cats and enjoy their (usual) independence. I'm happy to help cats out too! I'm currently trying to carve out a remote life; I'm either at home or a coffee shop. My schedule is very open, very flexible and I'm very available to care for some wonderful pets! A lovely apartment with plenty of nice walks and parks nearby. I stay with a friend and her two little ones are a little older, but very chill.
About: I’ve had animals all my life. I’ve taken care of my animals at home alone for weeks at a time. I’ve also walked my neighbors dogs a few times if they couldn’t make it home on time to do it themselves I take my dog out every day 4-5 times a day. I feed my dog and cat everyday and make sure they always have water. I care for pets in the best way possible for them. I make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I make sure they’re very well taken care of.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life! I grew up with dogs and most recently had the privilege of caring for a family member’s senior dog through the end of his life. That experience made me appreciate even more how much love, patience, and care our furry family members deserve at every stage of life. Since moving into our home with a beautiful yard, I’ve been looking forward to sharing it with some furry friends! We have three young children, so we aren’t quite ready to commit to another full-time dog just yet. In the meantime, we would love to open our home to other people’s pups and give them a safe, loving place to stay and play. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own, follow their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of affection and time to enjoy our yard. Our home is best suited for dogs who are comfortable around young children and enjoy a family environment. I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and needs so I can help them feel right at home while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶 I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home with my children and have flexibility throughout the day to incorporate caring for your pup into our routine. Between time at home, outdoor breaks in our beautiful yard, and plenty of opportunities for affection and companionship, we’d love to make your dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us. With three young children, we keep a family-oriented routine, so we’re especially suited for dogs who are comfortable around little ones and enjoy being part of a busy, loving home. I’ll be mindful of your dog’s individual needs and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pets will be welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family! We have a beautiful yard for outdoor play and fresh air, as well as a garage for extra space when needed. Dogs will stay inside our home with us and will have access to our yard for potty breaks, playtime, and exercise. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can incorporate their care into our daily routine, including meals, walks, outdoor time, and lots of love and attention. We’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re awa

About: In my opinion pets are the best friends. I love them more than people. They are sources of endless unconditional love and devotion, affection and happiness. Let's take care of them better. They deserve that. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. It would be a pleasure for me to help you to take care of them. I always keep an eye on them.

About: Hello! I'm Lea, someone who loves and adores pets. Recent undergrad at Purdue who just relocated to Oregon. I live with a veterinarian in training, so I have constant hands on experience with my home life on how to take care of dogs. I am Cat and Dog CPR FIRST AID Certified! I've house sitted for many of dogs when I was younger, so I have much experience with dogs. I’ve also volunteered with the humane society many of times in my free time. I find it very important to care about dogs and give dogs love and attention when their owner can't at the moment. I'm willing to help in anyway with the dogs. I especially love walking and playing with dogs! My schedule is very flexible, so I am willing to work with anyone when needed. If there are any questions,comments, or concerns please feel free to contact me. With me, I will always provide excellent care for your pets. Thank you!

I have a screened balcony that ensures your pet will be safe inside at all times. My apartment is incredibly spacious so your pet will have plenty of room to run, play, and sleep at. I also have a sweet, energized kitty that will keep your fur baby company! If your pet is uncomfortable around other pets, I have a pet gate and an extra bedroom to keep Sushi away. Otherwise if I am your house I will accommodate to any of your rules or needs.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my blend of experience and specialized skills. Not only do I offer attentive and loving care for pets of all kinds, but I also have expertise in training puppies and providing compassionate care for senior pets. Whether your furry friend needs help learning new commands or requires special attention due to age-related issues, I tailor my approach to meet their unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. Each morning, I start with feeding and exercising my own pets, which keeps me attuned to their needs and well-being. Throughout the day, I manage appointments for pet sitting, ensuring I have dedicated time for each client’s specific requirements. My evenings are spent preparing for the next day's visits, including planning for any special needs or dietary requirements. This consistent routine allows me to provide attentive, reliable care, ensuring every pet receives the attention and affection they deserve. In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable and secure environment tailored to their needs. I provide plenty of space for play, relaxation, and exercise, with dedicated areas for feeding, sleeping, and enrichment activities. Each pet has access to fresh water, high-quality food, and their favorite toys. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency. I focus on maintaining their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. I also ensure their environment is safe and stimulating, providing playtime and affection while respecting the pet’s space and preferences. Regular updates and communication with the pet owner help keep them informed and reassured about their pet’s well-being.
About: Pets are my passion, I’m here to share my knowledge and experience to help you and your loved one(s). I’ve cared for more than dogs, cats, and rabbits. I’m happy to look after reptiles, birds and small animals as well. In addition to basic pet sitting needs, I’m also experienced with behavioral training, puppy basics, grooming and medicating. All animal care plans will be thoroughly created at meet and greet, I will not deviate from the plan so please include things like ~ how many treats per day, are any people foods ok to share (carrots, yogurt etc), the song we play in the morning to get out of bed - sometimes small requests seem silly but it’s part of your daily life and I understand how matching a routine makes your pet more comfortable. Please feel free to bring these up as well so they can be included. I’m openly available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with options for drop ins or walks throughout the rest of the week in the mornings or evenings. All of your house rules will be respected and followed of course. If your pup isn’t allowed on the sofa, we can snuggle on the floor. Do you have a super stealthy door - dashing cat? I currently live with one and know how important it is to closely monitor where the cat is when you’re going through the door.

About: My family has always had dogs and cats, so I am very comfortable and I love being around them. I have petsit for neighbors and friends in the past.

I am currently on summer break, so I have all the time to walk your pup or come pet sit! I am free any day any time!

I will follow all your instructions to ensure this, such as any instructions on walking, feeding, medications, leashes, crates, gates, and locked doors. I am happy to send you updates or photos while you’re away.

“Maya was so sweet and patient with our nutty dogs. They were obviously well cared for, and she kept us up to date every day with their activities and meals. I highly recommend Maya as a dog sitter!”

“Emma is great! Our dog is a lot to handle and we searched and searched for someone who was willing/could take care of her. We have a 90lb German shepherd who requires assistance with certain things due to a recent knee surgery. I was really nervous about leaving her with someone but Emma was a huge help and made our fur baby very happy. I will definitely be using Emma’s help again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
This was our first time ever away from our dogs, each about 13 years old. I felt that I made the absolute best decision to have Amy take care of them. We were never comfortable going on vacation because we never felt comfortable with any dog sitter in the past. I plan on hiring Amy in the future.
Amy agreed to watch our two pups, Liska and Miles, on relatively short notice. She was excellent! Her daily photos and feedback, and care of our pups was amazing. We will certainly reach out to her again the next time we're out of town. Highly recommend! And thank you!

Katie was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in for last-minute drop-in visits during the holidays, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She took great care of my two dogs, Finn and Forest, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about them. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and flexible dog sitter.

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.
