“Amanda is kind and honest. She let us know who was being shy, who was playful, and communicated when there were logistical issues. Communication is an huge thing for us so we're grateful to have found her. She took plenty of pictures too! Our babies did very well in her care, and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
“Really glad we had Krystal help us with our three dogs! We received detailed updates each visit, along with pictures and notes about her time with them. We feel very comfortable recommending her services and will call her again in the future.”
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: My journey with dogs began over 50 years ago, growing up in a home where the 'pack' was part of the family. From a young age, I was the designated caregiver for our relatives' pets, learning early on how to read canine body language and provide the unique care each dog requires. Throughout my life, I have been the 'go-to' person for friends and family, managing pups of all temperaments and sizes. While my own long-time companion has recently crossed the rainbow bridge, the Spirit of the Dog remains the heartbeat of my home. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into a space built on four decades of experience and genuine love. Whether your pup needs a calm environment to relax or an adventure-filled stay, I have the room, the heart, and the professional setup at The Phydeaux Spaw to ensure they are safe and cherished. I’d be honored to welcome your dog into our pack for their next stay. Pet care is not just a part of my routine; it is the center of it. As the owner of a professional bookkeeping firm and a mobile pet spa, my daily life is structured around my home base on Harper Hill. This 'work-from-home' lifestyle allows me to provide a level of consistency and supervision that a typical 9-to-5 sitter cannot. Morning & Evening Rhythms: My day begins and ends with the 'Adventure Playfield.' Every guest is integrated into a morning exercise routine and an evening wind-down that mirrors the structure of a professional facility. Mid-Day Engagement: Because I manage my bookkeeping clients from my home office, I am physically present all day. I take regular 'engagement breaks' to check on my guests, refresh water, and manage socialization in the yard. The 'Spaw' Advantage: On days when I am operating the mobile unit, the dogs in my care benefit from a high-energy, pet-centric environment. I am never more than a few steps away from the play area, and my 'Phydeaux Spaw' truck is a constant reminder of our commitment to professional-grade pet hygiene and safety. 24/7 Monitoring: Since I offer 'into the night' care and boarding, my evening routine is dedicated to ensuring every dog feels secure. My schedule is purposefully flexible to accommodate the needs of my clients—whether that’s an early drop-off or a late-night pick-up. At our Harper Hill home, safety isn't just a checklist—it’s the foundation of our environment. We’ve designed our space so that your dog is never out of sight and always under professional supervision. The 360-Degree View: Our home is uniquely positioned so that I have a clear, unobstructed line of sight to every corner of the yard from indoors. Whether your pup is napping in the sun or playing in the grass, they are under a watchful eye 100% of the time. The 'Adventure Playfield': For high-energy exercise, we utilize our expansive playfield. Here, we use long-lead techniques to allow for maximum freedom and movement while maintaining total safety. Mindful Socialization: We focus on more than just physical 'running out.' We specialize in helping dogs learn to respond without reacting. Through structured play and exercise, we help your pup build confidence and social skills in a calm, controlled atmosphere. Prepared for Every Scenario: My background with The Phydeaux Spaw mobile unit means I am inherently prepared for the unexpected. From first-aid awareness to specialized handling for dogs with ailments or anxiety, I bring a 'safety-first' professional toolkit to every boarding and daycare stay. This is a happy, balanced home where your dog’s physical safety and emotional well-being are our highest priorities.
“Gisselle was wonderful! My little guy was nervous at first and has separation anxiety. Within twenty minutes she sent a pic, of him relaxed and having a good time! Thank you! Definitely recommend!”
About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.
“Sarah is excellent! She takes such amazing care of the cat crew and sends adorable pics to help us miss them less while we are away! Would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone needing a good pet sitter!”
About: I have had many pets growing up and am understanding to the awareness and patience needed to care for diverse animals and look forward to learning more. My current work schedule allows me flexibility to attend to early walks or drop ins and afternoon as well. I am open to finding as much flexibility to ensure I can meet your fur babies needs! I have a fenced in yard with a 2 year old black German Shepard border collie mix and a 6 year old shorthair black cat.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. With 7 years of experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and comfort while making sure they feel safe and happy I am currently working full time from 10:30-8 pm I am available all day on Wednesday’s and Thursdays! I am more than happy and willing to keep your fur babies happy on my days off. If i need to adjust my schedule to match yours, please let me know :) I have an open back and front yard that is on private property. I also have 4 dogs that will keep your doggie company :) I can also crate your dog if i have too!
About: As a retired couple, we offer your dog the full-time attention and doting they deserve. Our home is a haven of TLC where your 'fur baby' becomes part of our family. Expect a luxury stay including daily walks through Howe Park, unlimited potty breaks in our fenced/secure yard, and constant companionship. We are happy to accommodate special needs, from medication schedules to specific feeding routines. Your pup will enjoy socializing with our two gentle residents—a well-behaved Pomsky and a Corgi—who love making new friends. At our home, your dog isn't just 'watched'; they are truly pampered. I am semi-retired engineer and have plenty of time to dote on your fur babies. We go for walks daily and have 1/2 acre fenced yard for them to roam. We have a 1/2 fenced yard located on Clover Valley Road and your puppies are welcome to explore everywhere, inside and out. As well we add routine play, training and cuddles to the daily practices.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was 16. This includes daily watching or housesitting/pet sitting for extended periods of time. There is nothing I enjoy more than bonding with animals and being a source of safety and comfort when their humans are away! I currently work from home and can be available to work from various locations! My workload varies day to day but often provides ample break times! I provide pet care in the home of others by following the established rules and wishes of the pet owner to a T. I like to keep pets on their already established routines and ensure they are receiving the same love and care their human would give! This also includes whatever chores are required while in the home as well.
“Mary-Elizabeth went above and beyond for me and my two cats. She sent photos and videos while I was away, and I felt at ease that they were in the best hands. Next time I go away on a trip, I will be contacting her again! And I will absolutely recommend her to my friends.”
About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
