I have a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule! Since my job is remote and my classes are online, I am available around the clock for care, playtime, and walks.

If your pup stays with me, they will spend most of their time indoors in a clean, pet-proofed environment, with plenty of access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised playtime and potty breaks. I have two incredibly friendly and well-trained dogs of my own—Shadow (5) and Koa, a 50-pound Husky mix (2), who make excellent playmates for dogs of all sizes. Thanks to my professional background working as an Animal Care Specialist, I am highly experienced in reading dog body language, managing safe introductions, and maintaining a secure, stress-free environment for every pet under my care.
About: I truly go the extra mile for those I am taking care of. From extra long walks to lots of play time, I want them to feel comfortable enough that they don’t miss their owners too much under my care. I will always adjust my schedule to the daily routine the pet requires. I never tend to stray far off time just not cause the pet discomfort At all times I make sure they are calm and happy. Making sure they don’t stray too much from the usual routine and make sure I ask all important questions for a safe stay.

It’s my responsibility for anything that happens. I love being around pets they keep me energized. It’s fun. My pet car experience is acceptable.

About: I have had pets since I was a little kid. I also rescue animals -- up north, I have 5 cats and several rescue horses. I love animals, they are my passion! I work remote at home, so I am able to take care of pets easily and attend to their needs. I often take my own dogs with me - to grab a smoothie, go to the dog park, or take a nice long walk to an outdoor cafe. There are a few parks and walking paths in my neighborhood, plus waste disposals making bathroom breaks easy and convenient. Just down the street there is a lovely dog park, with several fenced in areas for small dogs and/or puppies that can't socialize with the larger breeds.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Bay stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
