About: I provide attentive care for young pets with supervision and play, and gentle, patient care for senior pets, including routines, medications, and comfort. I’ve cared for my childhood dog through her senior years, which taught me patience, consistency, and dedication. Pet care would fit into my routine by making it a priority alongside my part-time job. I’d make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins so pets get consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for senior dogs who may need extra care. I provide care based on each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel safe in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and structured care. I’m especially mindful of senior pets, making sure they stay comfortable, stick to routines, and get any needed medications.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
