“Heather is amazing! She gave us strong peace of mind during our vacation as we knew our sweet Luther was in good hands. Heather was attentive and followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our cat had lots of play time and got attention while we were away. On top of that, Heather was so communicative and responded quickly to our messages. Def hiring Heather again!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as dogs and cats for friends and family. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or overnight care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away and keeps your pet happy in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a Senior IT Manager that works remotely Monday-Friday, I have incredible flexibility. I simply need reliable internet to work anywhere in the United States. I have experience caring for dogs that have full free range of the house and all furniture to those who have specific boundaries that need to be followed. I’m very comfortable abiding by all house rules within any setting. This loosely applies to cats who often only abide by their own rules! Haha
“Trula has been a blessing for Percy and I! I work long shifts so having Trula available to dropin on Percy for his bathroom breaks and some scratches/loves has been amazing and we are so grateful! I appreciate the pictures and videos Trula sends during her visits and the report cards after are very helpful and informative. Trula is great at communicating what Percy needs or what she needs to better care for him. Long story short, if you're looking for someone to care for your pet and she's available, pick Trula!!!”
“I have asked for Erich’s help watching my cat Yoko several times now, he is fantastic! Really great communication and is willing to help on short notice. Most importantly he takes great care of Yoko. Truly one of the best rover sitters I’ve ever used.”
About: I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter who specializes in providing one-on-one, low-stress care for dogs in their own environment. I have hands-on experience working with dogs in a kennel setting, and I’ve learned that many pets do best with consistent routines, patience, and a calm presence. I focus on giving each dog individualized attention rather than managing large groups, which helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and trained to see changes in behavior that are not typical for their personality. If they are more lethargic then usual I notice it and find out what is the problem. I have experience in urgent or emergency vet situations. I keep calm and the dog safe on rides to the vet. I communicate all the details needed to the vet and the parent of the dog. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in following your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific behaviors you’re working on. You can count on me to be consistent, attentive, and fully present with your pet. I am currently moving to Portland, Or from Washington state. I am growing my pet flight nanny business and looking for a part time job just to start out. My schedule will be flexible and I can plan around what is needed for your pet. I am great at following a routine. If you need food served at a certain time every day I can do it. If overnight care is needed I am fine to have them sleep with me or make them comfortable wherever they want. If they require play time I can adjust for the weather if needed.
“Adeline is officially my puppy’s favorite sitter, and we look forward to continuing to rebook her exceptional services! 10/10 recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Brayden is a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. We have had two great training sessions together. We unfortunately have had to cancel our plans for travel, but we are confident our pets will be in excellent hands if we are needing help in the future! I recommend Brayden wholeheartedly”
“Hannah was a great sitter for my 2 cats while I was out of town. They both liked her right away, and she sent me many cute pictures of them looking happy and safe. Hannah was always communicative, responsible, and very pleasant to work with. I will definitely ask her to watch my cats for me again and would recommend her to others as well!”

About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have plenty of experience taking care of them. I had my own dog, Bella, for 8 years before she passed away from cancer, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you are able to trust. I’ve also watched dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, sometimes for weeks at a time. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and sticking to whatever routine they’re used to. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just hanging around the house, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working by part time at a retirement home with a flexible schedule, so i have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your four-legged friends. I am always available before 3:30 and after 7, so chance is most likely i can meet your needs time wise, especially staying overnight. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to their normal routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, get fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and have a safe, clean environment. I know every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow any instructions you have, whether that’s medication, favorite walking routes, crate routines, or anything else that helps them feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors. I also have volunteered at a local dog rescue, and I would walk dogs.

I have plenty of flexibility and am also an early riser. My job is flexible, and I am able to flex my hours. I always ensure that I sick to mealtime schedules and enrichment times. I will also support crate training and potty training, if needed. Making sure that your pet is supported based on their individual needs is important to me.
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life and have grown up with a deep appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of animals. Because I’ve lived with and cared for pets since childhood, I understand that they are family members, not just 'pets.' While I am new to professional pet sitting on this platform, I bring the same level of discipline and attention to detail that I have cultivated through my professional retirement home caregiving experience. I am deeply reliable, exceptionally organized, and committed to following your specific care instructions to the letter. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, ensuring safety during walks, or providing plenty of love and attention, I treat every pet under my care with the same dedication I would provide to my own I currently work part time, with my shifts changing frequently but I always will be upfront about my availability from the jump. Other than time spent working I am available full time for whatever your pet needs! Safety is my top priority. With a background in professional caregiving, I am trained to be observant, follow detailed instructions precisely, and remain calm in any situation. Your pet’s safety and routine are always my main focus.
“Tiffany was great. She listened to what I wanted and very attentive to my old man dog. I got pictures and visit notes. She put me at ease being away. Hope to book her in the future”
“Ganna was so wonderful with our new puppy! She sent photos and updates and took such good care of our dog. We have a puppy and were anxious to leave her for the first time, and Ganna made us feel at ease. She’s the best!”
About: I have had dog, cats, puppies, kittens, hedgehogs, bugs, fish, etc. I have also taken care of reptiles and so much more! I love animals of all sorts and if I'm not educated of the species, Ill make sure I will be before taking care of your baby! I work as a receptionist at a Vet Hospital Currently I'm a full-time student (working to my PHD in Vet Med) who only works three night shifts a week, and can do my schoolwork wherever needed even if its cuddled right beside Ur fur baby! I 100% listen to all needs and wants from the owner. I make sure to give daily pictures and videos of the animals to ease any stress and give lots of love!
About: I cared for dogs and cats many many times, including helping family, friends, or even friends neighbors. They have all relied on me to feed them, walk them, and overall make sure they are safe and comfortable while the owners are away. I’ve also cared for dogs with specific medical needs and specific treatment. Having dogs of my own had also taught me to train puppies. I’m currently only working a part-time morning job that goes from 7 am - 10 am. So I am available all days of the week and weekends! I have a medium sized, fenced yard that is great for playing fetch and running around in. And I have 2 super sweet dogs that will keep your dog good company!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals of all kinds. When we got our first dog I took matters into my own hands and taught her all kinds of tricks and everything that she knows today. Most recently I pet sat a senior dog for 2 weeks giving him the attention and care that he needed. I very much enjoy going on walks especially with dogs! I currently do not have a job so I am able to check in on your pets and hang out with them as often as needed!! I am a very active person and am always available to take them on long walks to get their energy out. I am good at time management and can follow a feeding schedule. I always make sure to give my dogs the attention that they need and deserve as well as spending time playing fetch with them and even cleaning up any messes that they might make.

Jill is amazingly consistent and loves on Pfeiffer like he’s her own. She makes sure to communicate any changes and is helpful with navigating app issues as well. Never leaves us hanging. She’s been coming to walk pfieffer for over 4 months and is a valued part of our family. :) Would truly recommend her without any reservations!
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.
Rylie is warm, friendly, and one of those people you feel comfortable with right away. She did a great job watching our dogs, and they absolutely loved her. She played with them, kept us updated, and gave them so much attention. We will definitely use her again!I
Joren is amazing! She took wonderful care of our anxious fur baby and even managed to take him out for walks with great patience. We truly appreciate her dedication! She also kept us updated on our dog’s well-being, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you, Joren!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sherwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Sherwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
