“So impressed with Mackenzie. She took her time to make sure my dogs were ok each time she visited and went above and beyond to ensure she were happy and well cared for. The updates and photos were so thorough and I can say enough what it means to me that she treated my dogs with such love and care. Would happily rebook with her again.”

Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

About: I am a dependable and loving pet owner who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have always loved animals, growing up I've had cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, ferrets.. I’m open to loving all kinds. I currently spoil my three cats and my two dogs, I couldn’t imagine life without them and will care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have personal experience caring for high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and cats with very different temperaments. Each pet has their own personality and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency! I work weekdays in the morning/afternoon. I make my own schedule though so I can be flexible for potty breaks and pets needs. Available after 3pm weekdays and have full weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and two dogs and three cats. When away my dogs are allowed to roam but if your pet needs crated or their own space that is completely possible. I am very pet friendly and put my pets before anything, they will be well taken care of.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of friend’s, family’s and my own cats and dogs since I was a kid. I’m gentle and patient with all animals and have years of experience with many different cats and dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule and mostly from home so I have plenty of time for overnight stays or to check in on a pet multiple times a day! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting in others homes and I am very flexible when it comes to working around you and your pets schedules and your house rules.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.
“Breelyn as always took AMAZING care of my cats! This was my first time leaving them since adopting my youngest, and I was going to be out of state in another time zone! Breelyn sent detailed updates and even coaxed my shyest kitty out for some play! For sure book with her!! 💜”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them throughout my childhood. While I haven’t been in the right season of life to have a dog of my own just yet, spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy and value. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and helping dogs burn off energy while having fun. More importantly, I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them happy and helping them feel at ease. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra attention, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and affection I would give my own. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I am currently working from home Monday through Friday, but have lots of flexibility within my schedule throughout the week. I am also available for weekends as needed! I currently live in an apartment, so I provide care in your home or through walks and outdoor exercise in safe, public spaces. In-home care allows your dog to stay in a familiar environment, stick to their normal routine, and feel more comfortable while you’re away. I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific routines your dog is used to. My goal is to reduce stress for both you and your pet by keeping everything as normal and calm as possible. Whether it’s stopping by for walks, spending time with your dog in your home, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention outdoors, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every visit.
About: ~~ I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

Volunteered at animal shelters all of middle and high school. Very loving and kind with all animals. I work full time as an electrician, however my schedule is very flexible and I have all weekends off. I only work a regular 8 hour day and have plenty of time to spare after work for your beloved furry family member. I live in an apartment but fortunately it has its own dog park area, nearby parks, walking paths and hiking locations. I am very active and enjoy high energy dogs, but I also enjoy relaxing and giving plenty of ear scratches to dogs that like their lazy days.

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 Strafford 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
