About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 10 years old. We had many cats and dogs growing up who I would feed, take on walks, and give lots of love! In college, I studied animal science, and now as an adult, I have dedicated my entire career to taking care of animals! That mostly includes livestock animals, but I have experience in small animal veterinary medicine as well! I have many friends who have relied on me to take care of their animals when they are away as well. These responsibilities included taking on walks, feeding and watering, cleaning up after pets, and being there to spend time with them. Since I have experience with veterinary medicine, I am comfortable and able to give medicines to pets as well! I currently work full-time as a high school teacher! This means my days and weeks can get pretty busy, but I work semi-consistent hours Monday-Friday and I have a lot of breaks throughout the year!

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
