About: I have been caring for pets, both my own and for others for over 30 years! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and am able to administer medication and take extra special care of your sweet fur babies. I live with my 16 year old son and our Beagle, Nora, Silver Lab, Bowdoin, and our 2 cats, Pants and Boston. We promise to treat your pets just like we would treat our own, and shower them with lots of love and affection. I do work a full-time job as a social worker however my position allows an incredible amount of flexibility in my schedule. Your pet won't be home alone for very long as I am available to do check ins and bathroom breaks every 2 to 4 hours. Some days I am able to work from home and would be there all day. I do have a large crate at my house for dogs who feel more comfortable in one while no one is home. But also have a free-range policy where dogs are welcome to come and go as they please throughout the house as long as they are safe and comfortable. I have a very large fenced yard and live on a quiet, dead end road which is perfect for walks. There are also many walking trails nearby that we frequent often. I also have plenty of space inside my home to keep your pets separate from mine if need be.

“Erin was wonderful with our cat Bella, who can be a little wary of new people. She got Bella to come out everyday and sent us fantastic pictures. I highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable pet-sitter. We are so, so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away!”

About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.

About: My name is Andreas, and I am a Maine/NYC-based actor/singer/dancer/dog-lover! I grew up in the beautiful, rural forests of Maine, and my family always had at least two dogs in our family while growing up! I have cared for dogs my whole life, and I have done it professionally for over 10 years. I am passionate about health/fitness, and I will happily share my healthy habits with your best friend! Whether on a walk, on a run, cuddling on the couch, feeding your pet breakfast/dinner, I will always care for Man's Best Friend with my 100% heart. Your pup will be in safe paws with me! Fun fact: I have played "MAX" (The Grinch's dog!) on The Broadway National Tour of How The Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical for three years, so I know the mind of a dog quite well...! I’m currently working part-time with plenty of time for walking, sitting, boarding, playing, and taking care of pets! I have various clients who I work with independently but am happy to accept new Rover clients. I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs with various needs! Very happy to go case-by-case and make sure that you feel your best friend is getting all the care and attention they need. Whether it’s long nature adventures, or cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to spend quality time with your pet.

“Rachel provided wonderful care for our three dogs and 2 cats while we were away. She stopped by for drop-in visits and stayed for two overnights. She was very professional and continued to provide photo and written updates through the Rover app. She was attentive to the needs and individual personalities of our pets. Our pets appeared relaxed and happy under her care. We definitely recommend Rachel's services and would love to have her sit for us again!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South China

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
