About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. My ability to stay at your home full-time depends on the length of stay and if I can bring my own pup along. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.
“Thank you for always taking such great care of our fur babies when we go out of town. It feels so great to know that will be safe, have fun, and be so loved by you. Will always go through you! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of the pets of friends and family since I was in middle school. I mainly specialize in dog, cat, and rodent care. For the past 7 years I’ve worked in positions helping to care for animals in research settings, mainly rodents, rabbits, and pigs. However my biggest love is caring for our furry and not so furry pets at home. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare and always look to ensure any critter under my care has all it needs to live a healthy, fulfilled life. I currently work M-F 7-3:30. I am able to do afternoon/evening walks or house drop/ins if need be. I am free most weekends as well for walks or drop-ins or if necessary overnight care. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare. I always want to see pets and all animals really live long, healthy lives. I’m willing to follow any guidelines a pet owner has regarding their pet(s) and will always be respectful of an owner’s wishes. If I were to stay in a client’s home for an overnight visit I would be respectful of the client’s space and would be as neat and tidy with my stay there as possible.
About: -Small Pet Care As Well- I have extensive experience volunteering at animal shelters for years, along with personal pet care for individuals. I've cared for pets of various sizes, ages, and abilities, including administering medication as needed. I recognize the unique needs of each pet, and I provide the patience, attention, and care they require. My love for animals ensures I treat every pet as if they were my own. Feel free to message me to talk through your pet’s specific needs and how I can help. Caring for your pet fits naturally into my routine since I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for feedings, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. As a freelance graphic designer, I set my own hours, and I like filling that flexibility with time helping others and their pets. I’m always respectful of you and your pet’s boundaries, rules, and daily routines, ensuring their comfort. I have also worked as a house keeper, so I tidy up every chance I get.
“We are so happy to have had Shurie come by to visit with our cats this weekend. So nice to be able to get away and know that your family is in good hands. We so appreciate Shurie!! She is so nice, and the cats loved her. Thank you so much Shurie, we thank you very, very much!!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of as well as a 14 year old cat that has a lot of special needs and accommodations. I also watch my neighbors pets when they go on vacations. I'm a full time college student during the school year, during the summer I have a very flexible schedule and can watch your pets any day given at least a days notice. I always walk outside when the dogs are outside, even if they are on a leash or in a gated area. I also take them on frequent walks.
About: I've had pets since I was five years old, and have taken care of dogs for the last six years. I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and miss being around them every day. Growing up, I cared for different pets in my neighborhood, and have been on Rover since 2020, working with pets of all shapes and sizes (but mostly dogs and cats). I have an extremely flexible schedule since I work in a hybrid capacity, and can be available as often as your pet requires me to be. I have availability every day of the week, as well as nights. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person, who wants nothing more than to provide your fur baby with a safe and caring environment. I am also very respectful of others' space.
“Wonderful. Very happy with the in home cat sitting versus putting my cat in a kennel. Shylina was very professional and provided daily updates on Bud which gave me confidence that Bud was okay while I was gone. I also was impressed that we had a meeting before I went on vacation and Shylina got to meet Bud and know what to expect. Will never put Bud a kennel again as this is so much better and easier, especially with someone like Shylina.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.

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.
