During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old as a pet sitter, but we got our own family dog as a toddler. Over the years, that experience has grown into a true passion, and I now have 2 dogs of my own. I’m used to all kinds of personalities, from high-energy dogs who love long walks and playtime to more relaxed companions who just want cuddles. I’m all about keeping tails wagging with lots of attention, exercise, and love. I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I am not tied to an office, I’m able to let sit in your home and be present for walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship—keeping your pets routine as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow your pets routine closely—from feeding schedules to walks and playtime—so the feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times.

I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets and treat them like their own while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and giving them some extra love and attention! I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule, especially during the afternoons, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible.

“Meghan has been terrific with our little old anxious dog! She has stayed with him twice and taken care of our house, filled bird feeders, etc., and she came during a holiday week (most recently) to let him out mid-day, staying long enough to play, give him treats, and take him out a 2nd time. And send a pic! Really appreciate her willingness to do this the day after Christmas!”
“Zayna did a wonderful job with my three kitties! She had a lot of meds for one of my cats, but she paid attention to the details I provided and I felt confident that he was in good hands! Also great updates - would book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Standish
Kara helped us feel at ease while we were away on vacation for a week by providing lots of pictures and comments each time she dropped in on our dog Zeus. She was very communicative, accommodating, and understanding. The day before we left, Zeus had signs of an ear infection, and Kara gladly took on the extra ask of applying ear drops while we were gone. Kara was also always punctual and arrived when scheduled. Would absolutely recommend!
Amanda is the ideal pet sitter. She's calm, courteous, and extremely caring when it comes to handling my anxious senior dog. She keeps me updated and takes the cutest photos! Not to mention she was flexible with my living situation as I had just moved and my apartment was a little bit hectic. Would highly recommend her services!
Danielle is amazing! She is highly dependable and responds in a short period of time giving us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter. She has gone the extra with us and are so thankful to have her care for our baby girl.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Standish stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
