About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Amanda took such great care of our pups. Wonderful communication. Followed their care plan precisely which provided a lot of comfort and relief being away. Will definitely request her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, an experienced pet caregiver with a background working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and species—both inside and outside the veterinary field. Along with caring for my own pets and family members’ animals (including fish and even tarantulas!), I’ve developed the skills and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or extra TLC, I’m committed to following their routine exactly as instructed. My veterinary experience has also given me a strong attention to detail, allowing me to recognize potential medical concerns and provide thoughtful care while you’re away. I have references from veterinary technicians as well as previous coworkers and boarding facility owners, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and trustworthy. I’m currently pursuing online schooling in wildlife rehabilitation, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer care throughout the week—including weekends. I can accommodate nearly any feeding, walking, or medication schedule, and I’m happy to care for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I also come prepared with cleaning supplies, treats, extra food, and a pet first-aid kit so I’m ready for whatever your pet may need. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind. I actively work M-F at a Veterinary Hospital, and I am in the process of entering online schooling for wildlife rehabilitation, which should have no issue with my caretaking availability! I am able to take care of your pets any day, any time, including on weekends! I can work with any type of feeding, walking, and medicating schedule needed for your pets, and am always happy to clean up any accidents from pups or elders! I always try to bring my own set of cleaning supplies, treats, extra food, and a pet first-aid kit so I can be 100% prepared for any scenario that may come my way.

About: I am a responsible college student who is very comfortable with animals. I had a dog growing up, as well as chickens and a rabbit. My family now owns and love 3 cats back in my home state. So it’s safe to say that I know what I’m doing when it comes to taking care of pets. I have also watched and walked my neighbors dogs for years and have lots of experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I love playing with animals and I promise that your pet will never be lonely under my care! I am currently in Oklahoma for school, so when I’m not in class or at practice for my sport I have plenty of time throughout my day to come take care of any pet. I always make sure that the pets are never lonely and that they get lots of attention. I am very good at following care instructions given to me by the owner and I will make sure that the pet receives optimal care.
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.

About: I worked as a Dog Kennel manager for 2 years, and then moved onto working full time as a vet tech assistant for 4 years. I have a lot of knowledge in the veterinary medicine industry. I would love to help someone out by providing my services to them while getting to share my passion for animals at the same time :) I have been around animals since I was a kid and have always loved them. All animals are different and need different things. Working at both a dog kennel with all sorts of dogs and cats from different backgrounds, really helped me gain a deeper understanding of animalistic behaviors. Gaining the trust of an animal is most important if you are going to take care of them. Showing them affection and kindness to ensure that they feel safe with me is my number one goal to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their loved owners are away! Working in the vet field, I learned a lot about sicknesses and injury and how to spot them. I have experience giving oral, topical and subcutaneous medications.
“Sarai was a joy to work with! She helped me to use the Rover app and communicated with me about my dogs the whole time I was away! She also helped me out by watching my dogs an extra day that wasn't originally planned. I highly recommend her!”

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.
