“Pamela is absolutely amazing! I loved that she kept us updated about the dogs and sent pictures. It alleviates my anxieties of being out of town. She was very kind to our dogs and went above and beyond. 100% recommend!”
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: My top priority is making sure your pets feel like they’re on their own fun vacation while you’re away! I treat every single animal in my care as if they were my own—giving them endless love, personalized attention, and a safe, joyful environment where they can relax and play. With extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals—alongside a background in veterinary care environments—I bring both dedicated affection and a high level of health and safety knowledge to every visit. Whether you have energetic companions, a multi-pet household, or farm animals needing reliable routine care, I adapt seamlessly to your exact setup. I am fully comfortable managing specialized medical needs, including administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following strict health schedules. If you have an older or special-needs pet, I provide gentle handling, mobility support, and attentive monitoring to keep them comfortable, calm, and happy. You can expect complete peace of mind, clear communication, and frequent photo updates showing just how much fun and affection your pets are receiving! Flexible Daily Schedule & Work-From-Home Availability Because I own and run my own business from home, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Being home during the day means your pets won't be left alone for long stretches—I am always around to take dogs out for frequent potty breaks, give cats plenty of mid-day love and attention, or tend to whatever routine needs your animals have. My open schedule allows me to easily stick to your pet's exact feeding and exercise times, giving them constant companionship and giving you complete peace of mind. Safe Yard, Active Walks & Secure Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play fetch, and safely stretch their legs. In addition to play time in the yard, I love keeping dogs active and engaged with regular, leisurely walks around the neighborhood, always tailored to their energy level and leash habits. Whether we’re enjoying structured outdoor walks or relaxing safely in the yard, your pets are always closely supervised to ensure a fun, secure, and stress-free experience.
“Brenda did a wonderful job taking care of our pets while we were away. She showed so much love, patience, and genuine care for them. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old, have trained all three of my dogs since then. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with their pets providing TLC as if it where my own. I currently work from home in advertising and always get out in the morning middle day and at night to walk. Adaptable work schedule makes it easy. I have a large apartment across the street from a park. TLC is provided to continue same routine at home. I have space for house, cage and whatever else!
“Anna was absolutely wonderful. she was extremely responsible and loving to my dog and cat. They adored her! There was a lot for her to do. My dog has quite a few medications to take. Anna followed all the directions and gave all the meds correctly. She was very sweet and kind to the animals and she was very patient with me. Anna always sent us photos and videos of our pets. We truly trusted her and did not worry about our pets. my husband and I highly recommend her. your fur babies will be quite safe and cared for by Anna.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and have always been very hands on with their care. I currently have two golden retrievers, german shepherd and two cats have experience giving medication, especially when they were younger. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered at a cat shelter, where I helped care for multiple cats at once, including feeding, cleaning, and socializing them. This helped me become patient, attentive, and confident handling different personalities. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m nurturing, responsible, and very attentive to detail. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have dogs and cats of my own. I’m used to feeding on schedule, going on walks, cleaning up after them, giving medication when needed, and making sure they get attention and playtime every day. Taking care of animals isn’t something I “fit in” it’s already a natural part of my life. Safety is my top priority. In my home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and in a calm, clean environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to behavior changes. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured and connected.
“We have never felt more comfortable leaving our 6 animals with anyone else than we did with John. With some sitters Brenna spent hours just cleaning up the cat litter behind them. Not this time. And my dogs who normally greet me at the door barking and jumping were quite happy to stay snuggling with John on the couch. He seems to truly love just being with and caring for animals. I am sure in the next few days we will see more signs of things he did around the house. We definitely plan on booking John multiple times in the next couple of years.”
About: Leaving your pet with someone new can feel a little scary. I get it! My family dog was with me from childhood until she passed in 2022, and I would have wanted anyone caring for her to be patient, loving, and attentive. That’s exactly how I’ll treat your pet. Over the past year, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs while they traveled and looked after my family’s new dog on weekends, including having him stay at my home. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to plan my day around your pet’s routine and keep them company throughout the day. Whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, some playtime, or just hanging out near me while I work, we’ll keep each other in good company! And yes, I’ll probably talk to them like we’re old friends. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day! I can plan breaks around your pet’s usual routine for meals, walks, playtime, and attention. They can keep me company while I work, and I’ll be nearby to keep an eye on how they’re doing. I love the idea that we’ll both have a little buddy throughout the day! I know it takes trust to leave your pet with someone else. Before their stay or visit, I’d love to learn about their routine, personality, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions for meals, walks, and care, and make sure doors are secure and leashes are on before we head outside. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing!
“Sarah is so reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent us just the right amount of photos and check-ins while we were away. I will completely trust her with my dog any time. She is great!”

About: I am your official dog aunt! I do not have any pets at my home so that is why I have so much love to give to yours 🥰 My care level ranges from the puppy stage to senior care. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and levels of care. I treat and love them as if they were my own family. I do pet sitting and walking full time so my available range is open. My day-to-day and weekly schedules are constantly fluctuating based on the bookings. Basically, what you need is what you will get from me. Whether it’s the basics of safety and care to more personal and specialized service, I look after and take care as if it is my own.
About: I've lived my whole life with pets and I love them so so much. I've been dog-sitting since I was around 15 for family and friends and every experience is always so different and fun. I've cared for large, medium, and small dogs and they are all so special in their own ways. I have two french bulldogs of my own called oreo and muffin. My oldest oreo actually had 6 puppies and I helped raise them in my home. It taught me a lot of lessons as well as the other experiences have. It never feels like a chore taking care of animals and I'd gladly love to take care of your furry best friends. I do not have a job and I am just a college student currently so I am very flexible and can work to fit your schedule. I have everything to fit your dogs specific needs and make them feel the most comfortable. I have a fenced yard, and a spacious home. If your dog is used to a crate, I can also make that work as well.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sunshine Acres walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sunshine Acres maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sunshine Acres choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
