About: If I can manage 30 middle schoolers, I can handle your dog." Hi there! My name is Michael, and I am a Cheshire local with 18 years of experience as a teacher, a dad of three kids, and most importantly — a dog dad of two. Caring for animals is not a side hustle for me; it is simply an extension of the way I live my life. My two dogs, Laney and Monster Truck, are at the center of our family. They go on walks, they cuddle on the couch, and yes — they are absolutely spoiled. When your pet stays with me, they become part of that same routine. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking. A little more about our home: I am available primarily on weekends and summers, which means when I have your pet, I am fully present — not squeezing in visits between a 9-to-5. Your dog gets my undivided attention. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My own two dogs are a larger weiner dog and a medium sized hound/boxer mix, so I understand what it means to manage both ends of the spectrum. Whether you need a dog walker, a drop-in visit, or a full boarding stay while you travel, I would love to meet your pup. Let's set up a free meet-and-greet so your dog can check me out first. Your pet deserves someone who treats them like part of our pack. Pet care is already woven into my daily life. As a dog dad of two, my mornings start with a walk and my evenings end with one. Adding your pet to that routine is natural and effortless for our family. On weekends and during the summer — when I am available for bookings — I am home and fully present, which means your dog is never an afterthought. They are part of the day from start to finish. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking.

I am single with no children and lots of flexibly to fit your needs I actually love dogs, and they can sense it. Safety of the pet is always my number one focus. I can easily build a relationship based on trust with you and your pet.
“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old and grew up with both dogs and cats in the home. I currently have a rescue dog that I’ve had for 10 years, and helping him work through separation anxiety, shyness, and reactivity has taught me so much about patience, consistency, body language, and building trust with animals. Through working with a professional dog behaviorist, I’ve also learned techniques for building confidence, reinforcing commands, improving leash behavior, and helping dogs feel more comfortable and engaged. While I’m not a trainer, I’m happy to consistently reinforce routines, commands, enrichment activities, and calm leash practices that owners already use with their pets. I’m very attentive to pets’ cues, comfort levels, and safety, and I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs a different approach. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets over the years because I genuinely care about making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I also enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through walks, playtime, sniff mats, enrichment activities, and practicing basic commands when appropriate. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I’m primarily focused on walks, drop-ins, daycare, and daytime pet care, and I truly enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, engaged, and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate routines involving walks, playtime, sniff mats, feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and basic commands when appropriate. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I pay very close attention to body language, stress cues, energy levels, and overall behavior to help pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I currently have two potty-trained dogs in the home who are friendly with other dogs. Pets receive lots of supervision, affection, exercise, and engagement throughout the day. I also understand the importance of slow introductions, maintaining routines, and creating a calm environment, especially for shy or anxious pets

“We needed a new caretaker for our cat and we are lucky to have found Alex. She is a caring person, she was authentically interested in understanding our cat’s preferences and habits. She took great care of our cat while we were away. I’d highly recommend Alex”
“Mika is excellent! She is great at communicating and happy to do a meet and greet. She made sure the dogs were comfortable and kept to our plan. You can tell she loves animals and would care for your pet like her own. Would highly recommend!”

Susan was great with my 2 cats. She sent pictures of them every day and spent time visiting and playing with them. She also let me know when there were a couple of other issues at my house and she handled them for me. I would highly recommend her as she is really good with pets. I would definitely book with her again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
