About: I’ve taken care of animals for the last 10 years. Dog walking, pet sitting and the occasional sleepover with friends/family animals. I am a newer cat mom (1.5 years) but rest assured, I have picked it up quick! I currently work full time in the school system however I have summers off so I will have lots of time come June to meet new animal friends! I have a half acre lot, not fenced. We currently use an e-collar for our 10 year old golden retriever Charlie. We do have a run available and could easily crate an animal should that be the owners preference. I can also do potty walks as we live in a beautiful neighborhood and close to Stanley Park.
“Jillian took great care of our Peanut while we were away and sent lots of photo updates and check-ins. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, mostly dogs, and when I got older and more physically active I realized how amazing it was having a dog for a partner. My love for animals has been strong to this day I am available Monday-Thursday from 11am-6pm, and Friday from 11am-3pm. If you are looking to become a regular and need a set schedule please contact me! I am very careful in the well-being of animals. I have my own cat which I try to provide a healthy and safe lifestyle for.
“This is the first time we used Heather to take care of our 13 1/2 year old goldendoodle, Mollie. She was awesome and Mollie loved her. Heather was quick to respond to our text and also sent pictures of her visit with our pup. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5. I love them all! I have a horse named Olay that I board not at my house!) And dogs and a cat! I’m a first grade teacher so I have summer off starting 6/5! So will be able to do anytime at that point! For now I can do weekdays after 3pm and anytime weekends! I have a fenced in yard with lots of fun smells and my dog likes everyone and every dog he’s ever met! He’ll play all day but can als take a hint! Then we can hang out inside too!
About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)
“We love Audrey (and so do our cats!). Audrey is so attentive and thoughtful to our cats and our home while we are gone. We are able to relax while we are away knowing Audrey is taking care of our pets. We couldn’t ask for better. She’s amazing.”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life. My family recently got a puppy. He's added so much to our lives we couldn't be happier. Since we are already in the routine of walking him and taking him to the dog park I figured why not add some company. I have weekends off and I am usually looking for something to do outdoors. We are frequent visits to the local dog park sometimes going twice a day. I have been told I have a calming nature. I will treat your pets like my own. I love animals and I feel comfortable caring for them.
About: Hello! I always helped care for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was able to help care for litters of puppies. Most who went to the state of MA for agencies to train to help find missing people. I also grew up with cats and many reptiles. Currently I have two cats and three tortoises. I have professional experience as well from working for a local veterinarian clinic. Currently I travel for home health/health care worker within the area. I am always a drive away from my apartment to give potty breaks and walks for my new furry friends. I also have experience with dog obedience as I have a friend who owns/runs a local business. I have many resources for all animals. Currently I travel to my clients. Most of them are 5 to 20 minutes away from my apartment. I am able to make my own hours to take your fur baby out and spend time with them. I will take your dog out on leash for potty breaks and walks. I am able to take your dog to areas that are safe to take your dog off leash to run energy such as dog parks if you approve. If I am coming to you, I would want to learn everything you do to make your pet comfortable. I have many years of experience with all sorts of pets and farm animals if that’s growing up with pets and learning. Or if it’s in the vet med field or on the farm. First off everyone if different and that’s important to know how to make your pet most comfortable while they are being cared for. Going by your schedule and routine is very important for your pet so they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I am able to help in anyway you request.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I helped my grandma to take care of her dogs. I also often help my friends to take care of dogs and cats. And my family had a cat and a dog that I took care of. I’m available full time for taking care of pets, any day works weekday or weekend. I can come to take care in your home or take pets to mine I can take cats or small and medium dogs to my home or to come and walk with your dog and feed. Play with a cat and feed.
About: My dogs enjoy their daily walks/runs and I try to mix it up and bring them to different places when I can including ponds and streams. They enjoy other dogs company and are the sweetest dogs I know. I am home with them all day so they have my companionship plus each other. They are well cared for and loved. They enjoy other playmates that like to run and hike and swim. I also use Rover for my dogs so I know what I would want out of the service using it many times. I've had dogs all of my childhood and adult life. First thing in the morning the dogs will be let outside to go to the bathroom and then they will eat breakfast and go outside again. During the day we will go for a long walk that usually includes trails and streams. I give them a treat and fresh water after the walk. Dinner is served between 4-5 pm. They are let outside to go to the bathroom several times and it’s the last thing they do before they go down for the night. We do not have a fence and I let the dogs out on a leash. We have a huge property with cattle next door and everyone gets along.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southwick
Adriana was WONDERFUL. I was nervous leaving four shy cats and a 14 year old dog for three days, but she put my mind at ease by being on time, sending informative rover cards, and providing great care (even to the one cat who’s SO shy she never even saw him.) You’ve got to be good to care for an invisible cat but she did it!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southwick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Southwick 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.
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 .

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.
To find sitters in Southwick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
