“Dani was amazing! I was apprehensive (first time using Rover), but I’m so glad I did. She was professional and courteous, took great care of my dogs, and was pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond in all aspects, I highly recommend!!!”
About: I've owned and cared for pets of all sorts, as well as show and farm animals, since I was a small child. I love them all and they all usually love me, even the one's people say don't like men/people. I'm also big and boisterous, equating to perfect (but kind) dominance and control, as well as capabilities the average person might not be able to do, like separating dog fights or controlling unruly large animals. I'm currently self-employeed and can craft my schedule at will to fit any needs! Available for walks, sitting, overnight boarding, and pop in visits at all times. I have 3 dogs, 6 cats, and a frog. Large home and almost a half acre yard, fence coming soon. I am no stranger to all types of animals and animal care.
“Dane and Kayla were fantastic! They showed up promptly every morning at 6 AM to feed and care for our pups, which we deeply appreciated. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire visit. One morning, we had a bit of an issue with our Pomsky acting a little too aggressively, but Kayla reached out right away, explained the situation clearly, and worked with us to find a quick and effective solution. We felt our dogs were in great hands the whole time. We definitely hope to use their amazing service again in the future.”
About: Familiar with Shih Tzu & other small dog/cat care, follows directions easily, dependable, punctual, assertive, effective, kind, playful, & can build trust with animals quickly! I take care of my family Shih Tzu daily and have cared for our late Domestic Longhair cat; as well as my sister’s Australian Labradoodle, her long-haired kitty, and my Aunt’s 3 Italian Greyhounds on occasion. I’ve also had experience watching a Westie and other larger Labradoodles. Pet care comes naturally and second-nature as I’ve had pets in my home all my life. From dogs, cats, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, etc. I’ve learned how to look after plenty of life through the years.
About: Hello my name is Thayer and I my whole life is about dogs! I currently own two puppies, Sippy is a mixed breed husky, the baby of the bunch is Cheech and she is a mixed lab. I have an associates in Veterinary Science, I am working on my bachelors in Criminal Justice, before going to to obtain my Masters in Veterinary Forensics. All of these are to help me in my future career as a humane officer. Humane Officers’ primary purpose is to investigate allegations of animal abuse and ensure pets are well cared for and protected. I want to spend my life helping dogs feel safe and well cared for even when their owners are away. I have worked at various dog boarding/daycare facilities in the area, alongside multiple dog/cat rescues, and had the amazing opportunity to work for the ASPCA at their headquarters’ clinic. Through these experiences I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Some medical issues I’ve dealt with were seizures, diabetes, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, heat sensitivity, the elderly pups, couple hour old puppies, and the mamas to the pups. I also have lots of experience with dogs with other behaviors such as, fear aggression, reactivity, dog aggression, people (stranger) aggression, men aggression, handling issues, and much more. No dog is ever too difficult to handle and you should be able to go on that vacation not feeling stressed about your pup. I want to help your pup feel right at home when you’re gone or help them get their energy out on a walk. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am currently going to school full time and working on the weekends. I am off Sundays and am home everyday no later than 2pm. I am trying to save money for college. Dog Boarding: 1 mile walk daily, daily fetch and/or tug game, daily bedtime kong, stays longer than 4 days get a free bath and nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. House Sitting: 2-3 daily walks, daily fetch and/or tug game, scooping yard after each potty, cleaning your dog bowls inbetween meals, and stays longer than 4 days get a free nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. Doggy Daycare: I like to start each day with a mile walk all together. Then one on one playtime with my pup(s), if wanted. If you want your pup to have doggy playtime, they will have “cool down” times throughout the day. If a repeat client I offer a free bath every 3rd completed daycare day and free nail clipping/dremmel once a month (as needed), if dog allows. Dog Walking: I provide treats and will reward the dog with a treat when not pulling, so we can walk more safely and efficiently. If I notice the dog’s leash is connected to a collar or harness that is too loose, I may ask if I may tighten it. I do not feel comfortable walking dogs with items that they can easily slip, and may decline an offer, if one is not willing to tighten it. I want all the dogs I walk to be completely safe and not be able to slip out and run. Rates do not go up if dog pulls, is reactive, or dog/ stranger aggressive.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stanhope
We needed Dani last minute and she was able to accommodate us. She was very clear on what she was and was not able to do given her other responsibilities. We appreciate clear communication giving realistic assessment of her availability and her working within that to accommodate us! Our Maltipoo Lizzy loves Dani. Dani remembered Lizzy’s special requirements from a previous visit even though we didn’t have time to go over details. At the time of visit Lizzy was recovering from an injury. Dani was able to keep her calm despite Lizzy being super excited to see her.
Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!

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 .
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
