“Thank you for your care of cookiee and spending time with her. You truly went above and beyond with bringing in packages and stuff. Traveling and leaving our pet behind is stressful and you made our experience totally stress free and I truly appreciate your extra help.”

“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

“Autumn was truly the best!! I can’t thank her enough. It’s never easy leaving your fur babies at home while your away but Autumn put my mind at ease. She was very reliable, quick to respond, and treated my pets like they were her own. We would be happy to have her again💛🐾🐶🐱”


About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: Hi! My name is Staci, and I’ve been caring for animals for years as a dedicated pet owner. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with daily pet care responsibilities including feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and providing lots of attention and affection. As a previous pet owner myself, I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a college softball coach, I have experience managing schedules, being reliable, and handling responsibilities consistently. Outside of coaching, I have availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and household rules to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pets will have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to their energy level, personality, and routine.

About: Having grown up with pets my whole life, I am not unaware of how much your pets mean to you. I strive to give the greatest of care to each pet I care for. Having experience with numerous dog breeds and personalities, I am confident that I can provide wonderful care to your pups :) I am a currently a student so my schedule can be a lot, but I am always organized and am great at time management. I have really open availability in the evenings as well as all day during the weekends. Safety for your pets is my number one priority. I am confident with leashes and collars, as well as safe walking etiquette around other community members and their pets.

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Bridget went above and beyond with taking care of our fur babies. You can really tell that she has love and care for animals, it gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were being well taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. Cannot recommend her enough!

Sydney was wonderful! She accommodated a fairly last-minute request from us to drop in twice a day for a week. We appreciated the check-ins, regular updates, and her flexibility with our schedule. Dot was nice and tired each day I arrived home, too! It was a great relief to know that Dot received so much care and attention during a busy week. We will book Sydney again!

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.
