About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.
About: ***Attention*** To all of my pet owners *** Duty has called for my service to deploy and I will be unavailable for Rover services starting March 20th. I will miss my regulars and should return sometime in October. I hope to see you all in the future. Blessings to all I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 8 and have experience in a variety of ages from 2 months old to senior dogs. I’ve fostered dogs for a few years in various conditions. I have tons of toys and a large bark park for your pup to do zoomies until its heart desires. I can take female dogs in heat and dogs not crate trained on a case by case bases. I work Monday-Friday and typically away no more than 8 hrs. I usually arrange my schedule so I’m gone for a shorter amount of time when I watch other dogs until I know they are comfortable. Typically house trained pets will be allowed to roam freely throughout the house as my dog does while gone. In the early mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends, pets will be given walks/bathroom breaks and play time. I have a bark park, great neighborhood with sidewalks and very low traffic, and large park nearby to bring your pup to for playtime. If house trained, pet will be able to roam freely while I’m away and at night while they sleep. If not we can crate your pet or I can setup my office to lounge while I’m gone. The area is puppy proof for safety and I have a camera with speaker for monitoring.

“Mikaila was awesome! She was super attentive and went above and beyond with her care for our pets! Not to mention they loved her lol. Will definitely be using her services again”
“This was our third time booking Ariana for drop-in visits, and she continues to be amazing! Nickle and Dax are always so comfortable with her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and reliable hands. She’s communicative, dependable, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely keep booking with her!”
“Jazmyne was fantastic! I booked her to check in on my four cats for a couple days and am happy I did. She was kind, communicative, willing to take on the challenge of feeding my monsters wet food (they are spoiled and will only eat their food if I prepare it a certain way), spent time playing with them, and left my home nice and tidy. Additionally, she was able to make my grumpy Siamese comfortable enough to run on his cat wheel! I will 100% be booking with her from now on.”
“Loved my experience with this capable dog sitter! She spent her own time to come and meet and greet the dogs and make sure she became familiar with their set up and what they needed. She was punctual and gave great feedback about how the visit went. I will absolutely use her again! The dogs really like her!”
About: I've been caring for cats my entire life and have extensive experience meeting their unique needs and personalities. I also have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've provided pet sitting for family and friends, helping with feeding, playtime, and daily care. I understand how important pets are to their families and strive to provide loving, reliable care so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. care of cats since I was very young. I currently work full-time Sunday through Thursday so on those days I would stop by in the late afternoon and early evenings. I am more flexible on Fridays and Saturdays. While I'd love to welcome every pet into my home, I have multiple pets of my own and cannot accommodate additional animals in my rental home. But while I'm visiting your own, your pet's routine is important to me. While caring for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely and ensure all daily tasks are completed, from feeding and walks to litter box cleaning, playtime, and picking up toys.
“Veronica is great! She’s attentive, communicative, and insightful (had our cats’ peculiarities sussed out after the first visit). Bottom line: our pets were calm and happy upon our return home. We’d trust Veronica with them again in a heart beat.”
“Leslie is great! She checks in on my cat when I am out of town. Making sure she gets her meds, food, and a clean litter box. I definitely recommend her to look after your pets!”
“This is our 2nd time using her and can’t say enough great things about about Katelynne. She is amazing and my fur babies welcome her with open paws as well to looking forward to to her visits. Thank you Katelynne!”
“Noelle went above and beyond. Some items came up while we were gone and she pivoted like a champ. My kitty adored her and we were beyond grateful for her compassion and care for our girl. This our first experience owning a kitty and using a service like this. Noelle made it easy and made us so comfortable with the whole thing. Our daily visit posts and pictures were so looked forward to. I will hire Noelle again in a heartbeat. Your pets will thank you🤩”
“Kelli was great with my pet and I would recommend her to anyone! She was very kind and professional when I met her for a meet and great to go over my pets needs. My cat is ill and requires medication daily and while I was gone I wanted someone who was familiar with administrating or able to give my cat his medication. I find that Kelli went above my expectations and I was so happy that I have a happy and healthy cat to come home to.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I worked part time as a vet tech at an animal rescue/hospital in my hometown and I am a foster for Old Dog Haven. I was lucky enough to visit Villalobos, the famous pit bull rescue in New Orleans. I love all animals and would be honored for the opportunity to take care of your pets while you’re away. I work from home 2 days a week and my office is 5 minutes from home. My schedule is flexible so I am able to take time out for potty breaks, feedings, etc. Weekend boarding is available with some exceptions for weekday boarding and/or doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. I have an extra large kennel for those pups who are used to being kenneled at night. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I have 2 border collie puppies who are tons of fun and a very sweet 4 year old cat living in my home now. I would love to keep your dog safe, warm and well cared for while you’re away!
“We’ve used Piper several times now, and she’s absolutely wonderful! She’s kind, reliable, and really pays attention to our dogs and their needs. We just adore her and couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Adelle was a life saver!! I was out of town and my original sitter finished up her last day with me. Unfortunately, the litter robot filled up sooner than expected, so I needed someone ASAP to stop by and fix it. Adelle responded so quickly and was extremely sweet and courteous. She was able to stop by within the hour and saved the day!”
“Kim was the perfect choice because of how attentive, thoughtful, genuine and sweet she is! Beyond pleased and thankful for the exceptional care she gave our elderly chihuahua. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

Samantha was great! On the last day of our trip our rascal pups got all muddy in the yard and she helped clean them up and make sure our home wasnt too dirty when we got back. We didnt ask, she was just helpful and thoughtful without a word or hesitation. Awesome!
From my early labor to an emergency surgery (3 months apart), Mikaila went above and beyond to be available to help care for our dogs. She was communicative, reliable, and incredibly kind. It gave our family peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for during such a stressful time.
Tiantian was absolutely wonderful! I am so extremely grateful to have had her watch my little old lady pup while I was away. She was extremely punctual, compassionate, and attentive. I got stuck in the northeast due to a blizzard and she was so accommodating and willing to do 4 more visits that were not originally scheduled. Her flexibility was the reason my pupper was cared for and comfortable during all of the craziness. I got home this evening and the house was tidy, my pup was asleep, and I felt so relieved. I would 10000% rebook and recommend that you do as well!!!!

Tabatha has done a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my two senior dogs, one with special needs! She was always attentive to signs they were giving her and adjusted what she did to meet those needs. She also put in extra effort when one of the dogs got sick and was able to work with me on my fluctuating schedule that sometimes needed last minute adjustments. Always communicative!

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 South Hill 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.

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.
