“Cindi took great care of my two cats although they stayed well hidden! Very responsible and great communication. It was a one time drop in visit. I already have her booked for future dates.”


“Elizabeth was very patient with our dog Cookie. She took excellent care of her while we were gone and sent text updates and photos. We will certainly ask Elizabeth to care for our dog in the future!”
“Lots of visits today for my fur kids. They love Carmen. My big BC is actually in love with her and flirts with her ...it's hilarious. He gets all google eyed. My little super girl takes a bit to warm to anyone and Carmen helped her through that with no issues. I have been able to do my work travel without worrying about how they are doing...which is great!”

“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”

“I wasn't sure what to expect from my two.. but everything was great! I love the pics and the "bathroom" updates. Joe is great with the "big one..Seamus" and the "little one" warmed up after she realized Joe had food...lol!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, birds, you name it, ever since I was 8 years old. There is a special place in my heart for four legged friends. I am lucky to work from home so I get to spend all day with my pets and yours when they stay with me! I have experience working with dogs of all ages, light training and routine bath care. I love going out in the yard and playing with the dogs. Our fenced in yard makes it so easy to bring them out back and throw the ball around. When your pets stay with me I know how hard it can be being away, but I will provide constant photos, videos, and updates to help you feel comfortable while you are apart. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them a great time during their stay. I work from home, so you can feel comfortable your pets will get constant care and attention throughout the day. The dogs get outside at 7:00am to start the day and will get walks / playtime in the yard minimum every 2 hours. We have a great neighborhood for long walks and a pretty big yard for running and playing. The dogs will be let outside for the last time around 10:00pm before winding down for bed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play. I have 1 dog and 1 cat, both are good with other dogs and cats. My dog is a 2 year old male golden retriever. He truly is the happiest dog and loves to meet new friends. Every pet that stays with us will be treated as one of our own and will have a great experience.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years, but done it more seriously the past three years. I do overnight stays with my friends/families dogs, and a lot of dog walking! I’ve done everything from administering medications to cleaning up accidents. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I don’t have time constraints (for the most part), so I can take my time caring for your pets. I would like to say I’m very good at being aware of my surroundings. I’ve taken care of dogs that aren’t dog-friendly, so I know how to handle those situations when on walks, etc. I also realize that growing trust with animals is extremely important.
“Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking due to unexpected surgery and was super-accommodating over the weekend hospital stay updates. The pups looked super happy in every pic! Thanks so much.”

“Wonderful, sent the best photos and the cats were always excited to see her! Would definitely love to have her over again!! I’m always nervous leaving my high maintenance and high attitude sphinx alone but this weekend was a breeze thanks to Lynette!”

“Kimberly did a fantastic job watching my 2 cats while I was on vacation. She stopped by twice a day to feed and water them, keep the litter boxes clean, and administer their meds. She sent photos during every visit, and even made sure to spend time snuggling with the cats and keeping them company. Knowing Kimberly was checking in on my boys and taking care of them while I was gone was a huge relief! I would definitely recommend Kimberly's services to other pet parents.”

“Terri sent check in photos every day. Left out enough wet food bowls that she didn't have to wash them, but was pleasantly surprised to come home to a clean stack. She's obviously a pet lover and one can feel confident your fur babies are well cared for.”


“Kim gave my husband and I peace of mind while we were on vacation since we knew our kitties would be in good hands. Kim is professional, respectful, and truly cares for pets. She provided check in updates and pictures that I ended up really looking forward to reading! I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs my whole life and about 4 years ago I dog sat for other families who trusted me to take care of their pets. I love to go for long walks and hikes and have lots of playtime. I currently have a family who I dogsit for when they are on vacations or away for long hours. I’m currently going to college full time, so I can come throughout the day and I have extra free time to take your dog on long walks In my home, I do not have a fenced yard, so I am used to keeping dogs on leashes and making sure they are safely secured if going outside, if they need leashes.
About: Married stay at home mom of 3 girls and 1 boy, who loves animals. Pre-covid I was a banquet cook for a living. I have always owned dogs( Pitts and huskys), cats, fish, rats, rabbits, turtles, bearded dragons, snakes, and other animals.. but currently have none of my own.. I'd love to watch others as a way for me to fill the void until I find another forever furpal. I live in a decent sized house with a nice yard so there is plenty of room for animals to roam and stretch their legs. I give animals all the attention they want and need. Couches and beds are free game as long as it's ok with you, I wouldn't want to upset what an animal is used to. At my place there are Treats walks and belly rubs galore. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is open and my routine can be changed to fit what your pup or other animal needs. I have no animals of my own and usually only take one family at a time for boarding and 2 families for doggy daycare unless discussed ahead of time with clients so I can match your pets normal care schedule and routine.

About: Hi! My name is Brianna, and I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over 20 years, including more than 10 years of professional experience. I started out pet sitting and dog walking for neighborhood families when I was 13 years old, and I've been passionate about animals ever since. I later worked at a local animal hospital, where I gained experience feeding, walking, cleaning, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, as well as dogs who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and one of my favorite things about pet sitting is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with them and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members :) As of June 2026, I work full-time Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Because of this, I may not be available for midday potty breaks during weekday house-sitting stays. Pets who are comfortable being alone during a typical workday are generally the best fit for my current schedule. I may also be a little slower to respond to messages during work hours, but I always get back to clients as soon as I'm able and make communication a priority. I currently provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and follow the owner's instructions carefully. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a lifelong animal lover, foster volunteer, and proud dog mom who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including: • Reactive and fearful dogs • Senior dogs • Dogs with medical needs • Multi-dog households • Newly adopted and foster dogs One of my own dogs is reactive and fear-based, so I understand that every dog is different. Some pups are ready to make a new friend immediately, while others need patience, consistency, and space to feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and of course, belly rubs if they’re interested. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. The little things matter, and I always appreciate learning about your pet’s preferences, routines, quirks, and boundaries before we get started. My schedule is flexible, and I’m generally available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and care for your pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need a regular walker, drop-in visits, or occasional help, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m committed to caring for your pet in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, personalities, and needs, and I know how important it is to stick with what works best for them. Every pet is unique, and I always appreciate a heads-up about any quirks, preferences, or boundaries—those little details make all the difference. Routine is especially important when a new person enters a pet’s space, so I do my best to keep things calm, familiar, and stress-free. At home, my dogs are separated during meals and when given chews. I use gates or kennels when needed to provide structure, downtime, or simply give everyone a break. Otherwise, you’ll usually find them snuggled up on the couch or playing together, with plenty of belly rubs, of course.

About: I am an active person who enjoys the company of dogs. I am big into outdoors activities (i.e. running, hiking, etc) and when watching a dog will give my full attention to them. I live in an area that is close to parks, woods and near to the lake) I have always owned a dog. (pomeranian, german shepard/huskie and keshound growing up and currently co-own a Siberian Huskie (she does not live at my home) I feel I have a strong knowledge of the care of dogs. I have watched my sister's dogs on many occasions. One of the two dogs has epilepsy and I now know how to manage dogs with medical conditions. I will be as accommodating as possible to meet your needs as the pet care provider. I am willing to just come check on the dog, take them for walks, and longer care needs.

Julia has been helping me transition my new 5 month lab/boxer puppy to his new home with her drop in visits. She’s very eager to help practice basic commands, crate train, and get my pup comfortable walking around his new neighborhood. Julia asks great questions, communicates quickly, is flexible, and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for the first time!

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.
