About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal care professional with 15 years of experience as a zookeeper, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for and working with all kinds of species, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior, individual needs, and the importance of patience, compassion, and trust. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior, or simply loves some extra attention, I’m comfortable meeting them where they are and providing care tailored to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own! I work from home with a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of time and availability to provide attentive care and drop-in visits for your pets. Since I have pets of my own, I primarily focus on drop-in visits. However, I’m always happy to discuss other options to find the best arrangement for you and your pets.
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Toni is so sweet and helpful! She was always so flexible with our changing schedule and I know our dog was in good hands. He always looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent!”
“Theresa was great with my two fur babies while I was away on vacation. I felt at ease especially seeing pictures of them while I was away. I was impressed with the level of communication i recieved from her which i find very important. My dogs seemed happy when I got home not stressed that I was gone. I highly recommend Theresa service!”
“This is our third time having Jessica over. She is very conscientious, responsive, prompt and responsible. She works hard to befriend our kitties even though they are not cooperative, and we appreciate that a lot! We feel very safe giving her access to our pets and our home! She is a blessing and we’re very thankful!”
“Katie quickly responded to my drop in request and took great care of my pets. She provided details and pictures of my pets while she dropped in, and eased any worries I had while I was away. I am very happy with the service she provided. I will request her pet sitting services again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
About: All my life my family has had dogs. I am well equipment to care for small dogs, large dogs, old calm dogs, and young playful puppies. I’m open to any and all dogs! I’m a college student with a part time job, so I’m mainly only available on weekends. My schedule can vary though so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask! I am very thorough with instructions, so any information you give me about your dog will be followed to a tee. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, letting your dogs out, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel loved while you’re away!
“Farrin was absolutely fantastic!!! She took the time to video chat with us to make us feel reassured about leaving our new puppy. She gave us regular updates and took some amazing photos. Our pup loved her and she made sure we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away.”
About: We’ve always had dogs, so naturally that love grew! Ive always loved walking and running. Put them together and that’s a dream job! Dog walker! I work in the mornings and have free afternoons and weekends! I have the option to work from home if needed to be more available! We have many, many walking trails and we love to walk! I am comfortable walking all size dogs. I am not afraid of picking up poop!
About: ******Previous Clients**** -Please message me if you do not see any availability on my calendar, and I will try my best to accommodate you. 💕 At this time, I do not allow parents in my home due to safety reasons and COVID. I am able to provide your fur baby with all the attention and love they will need while you are away. Also, I do not believe in caging animals, and your dog will be able to roam my house like their own. Though many people believe that it does not take a lot of experience to be good at dog sitting, it actually requires a number of skills. Consider first, how much you love your pets, and how you would feel if they were lost, taken for granted, and/or mistreated by an individual you are paying. This is why you must have a candidate who knows about different breeds of dogs, is on time, and know how to care for dogs in feeding, playing, and walking dogs. Moreover, they must love dogs-otherwise all will be amiss. I have been dog sitting as a profession for over eight years, and 15 years before that for my own dogs. I love animals, and have all the skills and experience you might need in a candidate.

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 .

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.
