About: I have Pet experience Personally, and professionally! - Personally: By taking care of my pups my whole life. I've had 14 dogs since I was a kid and loved every second of it. - Professionally: I used to work at a doggy day care! We'd spend all day with 20+ dogs all huge dogs and we'd clean up after them, clean the kennels, feed them, and play with them. I'm currently home from college! So I have a lot of free time and am killing time before I ship off to Navy Basic Bootcamp. Fenced in yard! Brena loves other dogs so she could keep your dog company. Then they can be with my other puppy Bruno inside our home!
“Exceptional Pet and Home Care! BrieAnn was absolutely amazing while we were away! She took such great care of our cats giving them lots of love and attention and she sent daily updates and pictures without us even having to ask, which gave us complete peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by watering our plants, checking the mail, and even taking the trash cans to the curb. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a spotless home. We can’t recommend BrieAnn enough she’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about both pets and people.”
About: Hi everyone! if you’re looking for safe, stress free care for both you and your pets, look no further! 🫶🏼 I have a deep love for all animals and seek to provide safe, loving and enriched care. I have 3+ years of hands on experience, along side having 3 of my own dogs - all 3 of my girls absolutely adore having new furry friends over! 🐶🩷 I am able to provide care for puppies that still need potty training, as well as seniors that may need a little extra help and everything in between. All furry friends are allowed on furniture/beds throughout the house, taken on walks if requested and given enrichment activities throughout the day. Pictures updated included with every booking!! 🐾 I work at the childrens hospital 3 days a week, so the remaining 4 days i’m home all day to ensure the best care possible is given! I give potty brakes every 1-2 hours, always supervise inside & outside play, have numerous enrichment activities available and can offer potty training/crate training to puppies when needed! I have an 8 foot fenced in yard for those that like to jump! I have 3 pups of my own who love to play with others, dog beds and crates throughout the house - all animals remain supervised the entirety of being in my care and I am able to provide house walk-throughs prior upon request, references available and updates with pictures throughout the day!!
“Tiara is great! She is quick to respond and keeps you updated throughout the whole booking. 😁 She took great care of my baby girl while I’m away for the holidays! Would highly recommend!”
About: I got my first puppy at 9 years old and started learning from there responsibly and caring for animals well. I had many other animals growing up, consisting of cats, 5 Dogs, an exotic bird, and even a goat at a time! I love every animal and my dream job is to care for them. My work days are short so I spend lots of time at home with my pups and kitten. However I’ve been looking into a second job and this fits perfectly into my schedule and I absolutely love taking care of animals! I own my townhome and have a designated gated area in my neighborhood for dogs to play and run around and play. I enjoy taking my dogs on walks when it’s time to go outside and I don’t mind doing the same for someone else.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly love and take pride in. I have been caring for animals for 14+ years and have always treated the animals in my care as part of the family. I am especially dedicated to my own cat and gecko, making sure they receive the attention, care, and consistency they need every day. I also have experience caring for large dogs, having grown up with Mastiffs, as well as experience caring for senior and older dogs. I understand that older animals may need additional patience, attention, and accommodations to keep them comfortable and happy. I have 10+ years of experience handling livestock, specifically dairy cattle, through 4-H. I also bred and raised pigs and chickens through 4-H, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and their daily care. In addition to my livestock experience, I have experience administering both oral and topical medications to animals and understand the importance of following their care instructions carefully. I have a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and a Certificate in Agricultural Business Management from the University of Maryland, College Park. Animals have always been my passion, and that love for them has been a part of my life since elementary school. For my cat's daily care, I feed her twice a day, providing both dry and wet food as part of her routine. I make sure she has fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I understand how important it is to maintain an animal's normal routine, especially for senior pets or animals with specific care needs, and I am committed to providing the same level of care and love to every animal entrusted to me. My cat Sophia is fed her dry food throughout the morning and into the afternoon in small increments, and then given wet food in the evening. Having experience with all ages of dogs, I am able to administer medication or do specified request for your pet, within reason. I take animal care and welfare very seriously, so I want to be as welcoming to your pet as I do to you the owner. Anything needed for your pet's care will need to be written down so I can provide the best care while you are away! I will also send pictures of your beloved pets while you are away so that you know they are doing well!!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have house-sat for friends and their pets since I was 14. I’m calm, caring, reliable, and passionate about making pets feel safe and loved. I currently have an open schedule, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available Monday through Friday during the daytime and can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, respect their home, and make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I love all animals and have been dog sitting for a few years now. I have two dogs of my own who are so spoiled! I just recently moved here and don’t have a part time job yet, so I am available almost everyday and have a very flexible schedule. I closely follow any special care instructions you provide and always monitor dogs during playtime, meals, and walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and always happy to share updates, photos, or messages while you’re away—so you can have total peace of mind.
About: I am patient, consistent & communicative! I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and adjust my care to help them feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I’m very routine-focused and dependable when it comes to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and medications. I also prioritize clear communication and regular updates, so pet parents always have peace of mind while they’re away. I don’t just watch dogs—I build trust, provide genuine care, and treat every pet like my own! I structure my schedule to prioritize walks, feedings, check-ins, and quality time so pets receive reliable, routine-based care. This helps me provide reliable, attentive care and be fully present with each pet! I always like to discuss before the booking is confirmed if there is anything that I can do to accommodate your pet when they are with me so that they will feel comfortable!

“Abi took care of care of my cat Jelly bean for the first time and it was a great weekend. Jelly bean seemed happy and well cared for when I returned and I will definitely be asking Abi to take care of her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals big and small since I was a teen. I have never lost my love for caring for all animals but dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart. I have been certified in the past for dog training and know the ins and outs of how best to handle most dogs of all sizes. I look forward to providing the same love and care for your four-legged babies the same way I share the love and care of my own. I have 2 dogs of my own, a 14 year old husky and a 6 year old German Shepherd. I am used to taking long walks with them and short walks for my neighbors dog to help him when she gets over active. My dogs are spoiled and rule the house. That doesn't always translate into care for others. I am reliable and follow every owners wants and needs for their pet as they know best although, pets and cuddles are a must for those that are open to them.
About: I’ve got such a strong love for animals. When I was a kid I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up, but once I became an adult I knew I wouldn’t be able to handle all the little fur lives lost doing that kind of work. I’ve taken care of animals since as far back as I can remember. Animals are definitely what makes the world a better place. I’m self employed, so I create my own hours. Because of that, I’m available any time Monday-Sunday. I’m so excited to meet, care for, and love on your big or little furry family members! 😊 I have 2 small dogs of my own for yours to play with. I’ll shower them with love, cuddles, play time, and even some treats 🥰
“Katy was so helpful with our dogs and stopping over on somewhat late notice. She was able to arrange a time and be flexible with my schedule with a meetup before hand and did great following our directions for her. She left a photo and updated us on the visit which made us feel at ease knowing our pups were being taken care of by someone who cared. We would definitely have Katy help us in the future!”

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.
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 Spencer 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
