“Renee was wonderful! She clearly has a passion for taking care of pets and took time to really get to know our Nova so she could provide the best possible care. We received regular updates, detailed notes, and the sweetest photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Not only was our cat happy and relaxed when we returned, but everything in our home was spotless and just as we left it. Highly recommend Renee!!”
“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.”
“Alexis is a great communicator and did great with my high energy dog. Thanks for taking the time to do a meet & greet in addition to the first walk! Alexis is very friendly, responsive, and great with dogs!”
“Sara was an absolute treasure. I always am clear that cameras are everywhere in my house. I can tell you these things as facts as I witnessed them: - Sara is warm and loving. My dogs are big and sometimes scare others, but are gentle giants. Sara was sweet and offered lots of love and cuddles. - Sara actually uses all her precious time to PLAY with your pets. I have had sitters that mindlessly scroll and just sit on their phone. Not Sara. She even tried to have my grumpy senior boy play, and got him to wag his tail and join in on the fun. So sweet!! - Sara is not only on time, but early. Many times I’ve had late sitters and my babies are on a schedule. Always breaks my heart when I am away. Not with Sara! She was eager to help. - she provided pictures and updates! She even asked if we had any treats for the fur babes. The consideration and care is next level… I will use no one else. I trust no one but her and I know my fur babies look forward to spending time with her next trip I take. Look no further y’all; she is SIMPLY THE BEST!!!”
“Sierra was a fantastic sitter to my cats. She was friendly, attentive, responsive & timely and completed all care tasks really well! My cats appeared to enjoy her company too per the update photos! Would recommend & book with Sierra again!”
“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”
“Whitney is incredible! She dropped in to walk our two dogs twice a day while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and I felt great leaving them in her hands. Would highly recommend Whitney!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job with our cat! My message with instructions on getting into our home and care info didn't go through on the Rover app but Elizabeth was a great communicator and made sure she got in contact with me so she could take care of Pax. Really appreciated her diligence and Pax seemed very happy when we got home. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
About: I am a frequent pet sitter and would be honored to help care for your special pets! Love animals of all kinds and have been around them my whole life! I have a flexible job that allows me to do drop in visits and accommodate any schedule. Happy to accommodate the needs of you and your pet. I have been housesitting for almost 10 years at this point, and meticulous when it comes to maintaining the home in perfect condition. I care for the animals and homes as if they were my own!
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!
“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”
“Angelique was great! So patient with my timid puppy, attentive to her needs, timely in her responses and I know my dog got lots of love while I was away. Will use her again without hesitation. Thanks Angelique!”
About: I've grown up around Labradors my whole life. Right now I have a yellow lab named Jasmine. She's a very high energy 10 year old dog. She's not the type of lab who likes to play fetch or even go into water. Which I feel is quite odd. The funny thing about Jasmine, she sounds like a monkey at times when she wants to come in the house. A little about me- I love being out in nature. My favorite place to walk is the beautiful Sherwood parks. I feel dog walking could be a lot of fun on my off season of my main job which is school photography. I've worked as a school photographer for 22 years. So I have a lot of patience with kids and feel I could take on any kind of dog. Right now I'm looking to fill my time walking dogs so I can get more exercise and love on many different types of dogs. I'm looking to make some extra money and take some great walks around town. I'm very dependable and will show up when I say I will. I will always make sure your amazing dog is cared for to the fullest and know they will be in safe hands while I have them.
About: I love animals and they love me. I will take special care of your pet. They will get Lots of attention and lots of walks. I’m a homebody so they will get a lot of attention And care. I also have a wonderful backyard and a doggie door So your dog can feel free to go outside whenever needed. My home is very clean. We have a wonderful big backyard lots of room to play and run. I also live close to many parks so we walk to the park a lot.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
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.
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

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 .
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.
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.

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
