About: Hello my name is Stajia and I’m 29 years old. I work as a Medical Assistant, and am in school online for my bachelors. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and looking forward to watching your furr puppies. I grew up with dogs in my home, I’ve volunteered at the humane society dog walking, I’ve watched several family members pets. I currently work full time but I am very flexible. I travel for work so I am always stopping at home in between. I will be able to make sure your furr baby gets all of the love & attention they need. I have more than enough space in my home for your furry baby to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly 1-year-old dog of my own who loves having company and can help your pup feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m also a mom of three daughters, ages 5 months, 9 years, and 10 years old. My older girls absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them plenty of attention and affection! 🥰🐶 Your pet will be welcomed into a loving, family-oriented environment where they’ll receive lots of care, playtime, attention, and cuddles. My goal is to make your furry baby feel safe, calm, and loved while they’re away from home. ❤️🐾
“Ashley was able to help us out on very short notice. We were at a wedding out of town and she came to our house to give our dog his afternoon medication. She actually sent a video of her giving the medication at the time we had scheduled with her. It’s amazing to find someone who really cared for our dog. We will definitely use Ashley again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in middle school. My family dog is 17 years old now so I also have experience working with senior dogs. I live in a great neighborhood with many dog parks and my apartment complex has a dog run behind it. I have also trained and foster puppies before so I am familiar with positive behavioral reinforcement and do not believe in punishing dogs. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years as a therapist so I also have an amble amount of patience. Mondays and Fridays I work remotely so I am available for mid-day potty breaks on top of offering afternoon/evening/overnight care. I also have some flexibility to work remotely other days as well. My typical schedule is as below: Mondays: Available any time (working remotely) Tuesdays: Available after 5 pm Wednesdays: Available after 5 pm Thursdays: Available after 7 pm Fridays: Available any time (working remotely) Saturdays: Available anytime Sundays: Available anytime Do you have specific time requests, let's chat and find a way to work together! I do not have any dogs in my apartment but there are many friendly dogs in the neighborhood I've observed. I love dogs and always take my job of dog sitting seriously. Dogs deserve to be taken care of the right way! I know safe places to go for walks in my neighborhood, I am very vigilant to not let dogs put anything harmful in their mouths, and I ensure my apartment is very dog safe.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood. I’ve trained puppies and have taken care of seniors. I love all types and sizes of dogs. I have no problem taking more than one walk a day, I like running with dogs who are able to keep a good pace, and I’ve had experience helping dogs with different dietary needs. My schedule is fairly open, aside from the occasional soccer practice for the kids. I work part time, so typically I am around. I do work full days on Mondays and Thursdays. I have two high energy, friendly dogs happy to keep your furry friend company! I am able to crate as well if that is what is preferred. I have long tethers in my yard for outdoor play and will be fencing the yard in coming months. I live an active lifestyle where I’m able to exercise with the dogs frequently.
About: Animals are truly my passion. I hope to have a lot of them someday when I have the money, time and land. In the meantime I’m on rover to spend time with dogs, help people out, and be productive during my free time. I love an excuse to get up early during the week and go for a walk or just hang out with the fuzzy babies. I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) When I stay at your house with your dogs/cats I will be there when agreed upon and overnight if agreed upon. I need to be able to leave for at leave a couple of hours each day I am staying. I’m there for feeding, playing, potties, snuggles, treats, sleeping, and whatever else the furry ones need!

“Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.”

About: I grew up in a household with dogs, cats, and many other animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. I recently worked in a vet clinic for many months, which gave me greater exposure to animal health and responsible pet care. I also cared for a senior cat for many years and gained experience managing medical and nutritional needs, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I currently have all day on most days to do to drop-ins and dog walks! I am available after 4:30 for house sitting, depending on what your pups’ needs are. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow detailed instructions, including medication, feeding, and other special care.
“People said it couldn’t be done but Courtney did it! Our Daisy is a rescue with odd triggers and a guarded outward personality hiding her gentle lovie inner personality. Courtney came with patience, confidence, affection and belief - and she has won Daisy’s trust and mutual affection. (Mine, too!) I couldn’t be happier! Courtney is professional, prompt, friendly and easygoing. She brings loads of experience and a comfortable sense of self to provide heartfelt companionship right here in our home, helping Daisy be her best self! Thanks, Court! God smiled on us - You are a blessing!”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life- Dogs and cats mostly (and a hamster at one point). Ever since I was little I have always had the responsibility to take care of my own cats and dogs in my home, and time to time I would watch my neighbors and families pets for drop in visits or staying overnight in their home. I have lots of experience with dog walking as well, as I have two dogs of my own. I am responsible with feedings in the early morning, afternoon, and evening- as well as lots of play time :) I am a current college graduate and I am currently working part time in the afternoons until I find my full time job! I am able to stay In-Home or do Drop-In visits. I would be able to provide services early morning services, early afternoon, and evenings as well! I have a very flexible schedule and would make sure you feel the most comfortable with your pets care! I am completely comfortable with watching your fur baby in any environment. Wether that be in a fenced in yard, an open yard with a leash, staying in home or going to the park! I don’t mind crating if that’s needed as well. I have lots of experience with in home sitting ( with a meet and greet before hand) ☺️.
“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 frenchies and Melanie was so awesome!! She asked clarifying questions when she wasn’t sure about something, sent the cutest pictures and provided detailed updates after every visit. Normally I feel guilty leaving the dogs home when we travel but they looked very happy and with her updates I knew they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using rover and Melanie’s help again in the future!❤️”

“Cathy is OUTSTANDING! She always sent photos of our cats and gave us detailed updates about our pets and our home while we were away. We are extremely happy with her service and I'm sure we'll hire her again in the future.”

“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”

“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”

About: Growing up I wasn’t allowed pets, so I watched my friends dogs. When I was old enough to get a job, I started working at a dog boarding facility! I have had the pleasure to feed, give medicine, take them on walks, bathe, do playtimes, & share so much love with them! I then worked at WVRC which broadened my knowledge in the emergency field. I now work as a veterinarian technician & see all animals, even exotics! My pup passed this year, sadly, he was an epileptic & taught me a bunch of patience & how to care for him well. I know he would want me to help other pups too. I currently work Monday-Wednesday 8-6. Thursday & Friday I have half days. However I can go during my lunch break & let the dogs out & do anything necessary. My schedule is very flexible depending on what is needed! When it comes to following rules & regulations, i take high responsibility in doing the best that I can to meet those expectations. I think getting the dogs outside, weather permitting, is so important. Whether that is walks or just throwing a ball around.
“My cats, particularly Simba was very happy with Alexy and Dylan. I appreciate all the pictures they sent, and how they communicated. We had a little communication trouble at the beginning but it was all solved right away. Leaving instructions I believe helped as they have several clients. They were always on time and did what I asked for. The box, the dishes, and everything was perfect when we arrived. We would book Alexy and Dylan again.”

About: As someone who has two German Shepherds and grew up with several cats, I love animals. Open to taking your dog on a walk, dropping by to feed them, or even staying the night while you’re away. I work from home and am available for shorter periods of time during the day as well as in the afternoon and evenings. Open to occasional weekends as well! I am open to taking care of your pet in your home and making sure that your pet is being taken care of to your standards. I guarantee a safe and loving environment in my care.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
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 Sussex 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
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.
