About: I’ve worked with aggressive dogs in the past and have trained my golden retriever out of both food aggression, toy aggression, and resource guarding. I’m used to distributing medication orally if necessary as my own dogs have needed it before. I frequently groom Dizzy myself as he is a high maintenance golden retriever so I am available for that as well if needed. I am finishing my senior year from home so I am with my dogs 24/7. I feed them myself, I give them water myself, and I train them myself. I train my dogs for at a minimum of 5 minutes every day and work a variety of skills into their training, such as crate training, patience during meals, not snatching things, such as toys or treats, when I give it to them, settling when in the house, and I also socialize them to different sounds such as knocking on doors, babies crying, fire alarms, etc so they are set up for success no matter what happens. I want nothing but the best for my babies and I want you to know I want nothing but the best for your pets as well! My dogs have an acre of land to roam around in. They have full access to water 24/7 and get fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late evening before the sun sets. I work on training them for a minimum of 5 minutes a day to keep their skills and learned tricks in tact and I usually take them to our nearby park to hang out and meet new people!
“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Leona was so great with our Greta while we were away! She made friends with Greta, who is usually strange with people she doesn’t know, putting her at ease till we returned. We highly recommend Leona!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets in one household, handling high energy dogs, and administering oral medications when needed. I am very aware that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind through reliable communication💕🐾 Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and fits perfectly into my everyday life. I am currently unemployed so I love spending my time with my own animals, so i will love spending time with your fur baby! whether that means going on walks, playing, keeping them company, or making sure they feel comfortable while you are away. I’m able to build pet care into my routine by setting aside dedicated time for each pet’s needs and schedule. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want them to feel happy, safe, and loved in my care. I care for every pet and home with the same respect and attention that I would want for my own. In your home, I would follow your rules / instructions closely, keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, and maintain their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and daily care. I will always prioritize safety by making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure while providing plenty of love and attention.

“Alyssa was able to watch my kitties at the last minute. I felt very comfortable having her drop-in and care for my cats, including giving one of my cats his medicine. She communicated with me every day about how they were doing and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Skylynn did a special request stay for me, spending two hours with my dogs. My Great Pyrenees had oral surgery two days ago and I didn’t want him ripping out his stitches again out of anxiety from being put into his crate.

“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”
About: I am a current psychology student at GCSC , planning to apply my degree as an animal trainer. I have completed 2 marine mammal training internships and 1 seasonal aviculture position in a professional care setting. Growing up we had cats in the home but I grew up around dogs pet sitting for my childhood neighborhood. Additionally I have worked at a Pet Supplies Plus location gaining exposure to small mammals, reptiles and fish. Outside of school I currently volunteer with Ocean Connections , working with Labrador Retrievers , Macaws and observing California Sea Lions. As a mostly online student I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide services at your convenience! I currently have availability Monday + Wednesdays before 11 or after 12:15 , Tuesdays + Thursdays after 10:15 am & all day Saturday. Currently on Sundays I volunteer with a local animal rescue from 8-1 pm but am able to clear availability if given reasonable time to accommodate! I pride myself on being a diligent individual who takes the safety and integrity of the animals in my care as my upmost responsibility. With experience working in professional care environments checking even the most mundane things twice is second nature to me.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again
Katherine took the absolute best care of our Spud!!! She was so attentive to him and followed every note I left behind as worried fur mom leaving her baby for the first time. They seemed to have formed a great bond which makes me extremely happy as well. Even with the challenges he presents walking (because I know we still have work to do with him there) she was able to cope and face them wonderfully. She even paid attention to my cat when he was not necessarily her responsibility to look after and I can not thank her enough for her service!

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
