About: Hi I'm Jake and I've been caring for pets my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, you name it! I’m a friend everyone calls when they need someone reliable to take care of their pets, and I’m now turning that into something I genuinely enjoy doing. Even though my landlord won’t let me have a dog, I get my fix by caring for all kinds of pups and kitties through house sitting and drop-ins; these options are a great way for your pets to feel safe and loved in their own familiar environment while you're away. I’m super patient, reliable, trustworthy, great at following instructions, and I always keep you updated so you never wonder how your fur babies are doing. I’ve worked with everything from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable labs, goldens, pitties, Frenchies, plus plenty of cats and critters in between. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, or just a calm buddy to hang with, I’m your guy—and I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. I do live a busy life including one full time job and as a business owner of a mobile DJ company. But my schedule is still perfect for house sitting/drop-ins (see availability). If you don't mind me being in and out throughout the day and home with your fur babies at night, then I'm your guy! * Please note: My standard rates cover clients within a 10-mile radius of my home. My maximum service area extends to a 25-mile radius (approximately a 30-minute drive in typical traffic). For clients between the 10-mile and 25-mile radius, an additional travel fee of $0.74 per mile will be added to the total booking cost to cover gas, wear and tear, and associated taxes/fees. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week, with the most open availability from Sunday through Tuesday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work later in the day (2:45–9 PM), so I’m free for morning, midday, and evening visits. Fridays and Saturdays are my busiest days with both my job and my business, but I can still do morning and evening visits—plus quick lunchtime drop-ins if you’re nearby. I’m also available for overnight house sitting any day of the week. I prefer bookings made about a week in advance, but I can occasionally take last-minute requests if my schedule allows. And yes, I’ve got reliable transportation to get to you and your pets with no problem. When I’m taking care of pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and totally spoiled in their own space. I follow your instructions exactly—feeding schedules, meds, routines, quirks, all of it—because every pet has their own little rhythm. I’m big on safety, so doors, gates, and anything a curious animal might get into get double-checked. And when it comes to your home, I treat it like it’s my own: respectful, clean, and never leaving a mess behind. Whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or settling in for an overnight stay, I keep things calm, fun, and consistent so your pets feel comfortable and you feel confident everything’s in good hands.
“Sara was fantastic! She came over before our scheduled day to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our dogs schedule and details for their routine. We have never hired a dog service before and we’re apprehensive at first. The day of service she kept us informed and even sent pictures of our fur babies to let us know how they’re doing. We felt comfortable knowing Sara was tending to them. We definitely recommend hiring her services and will be using Rover and requesting Sara for future dog sitting services. :)”

About: Wow, I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog in my life. I grew up with a dog as a child. When I had a family we had a family dog and he grew up with my children, and have had a handful since. Currently, I have two shih tzu dogs that enjoys being around other dogs and playing. My grown children bring over their dogs for family events and my house becomes a doggy zoo! We wouldn’t want it any other way. I am a trusted friend who takes care of our friends and family dogs. Looking forward to gaining your trust too! I am a stay at home-wife, with all grown children. I have open schedules and are looking forward to take on your pet care needs. We have a fenced back yard, the home is free reign. We allow our pets on furniture. If your dog is crate trained we are comfortable abiding to your requirements. We can take walks multiple times a day on our beautiful walk path to a pond.
About: Hi furry parents! I have helped countless family members and friends with pet-sitting. My family has had dogs, cats and birds ever since I was 3. I'm looking forward to spending more time with animals and will care for them like my own! We can work out whatever system is best for you and your pets comfort and needs-whether that's multiple walks a day or rest time for older pets. I have been known to be attentive to animals energy. Whether they are annoyed, playful, curious, not feeling well or ready for a W-A-L-K I anticipate to open myself up to their mood! I hope you'll consider me for reliable care for your pets :) In accordance with my availability I will be nearly free while I am furloughed. More time with your pets for walks, medicine, cuddles, whatever your pet seems to need. :) At the time I am only available for in-house pet sitting in your home. I'll be sure to pre-negotiate where in your home I am permitted and where you would like to keep your privacy. I'll be sure to be respectful and abide by your guidelines always.
“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sly Park
Christiana was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using her, and we were gone on a three-week trip. She did an amazing job taking care of our cats and chickens, and I loved that she sent me a photo every time she stopped by. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our animals were being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Christiana and will definitely be using her again for our future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,144 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sly Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sly Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
