About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in middle school. Years ago, we lost our 14 year old beloved dog that we had since he was 6 weeks old due to cancer. He had 3 legs the last year of his life and we catered to his every need. I have experience with puppies as well as aging and special needs dogs that need a lot of attention or care (medical, etc). I used to have a diabetic cat that required insulin twice per day and was able to manage her needs seamlessly despite working full time and traveling. My family loves animals and are excited to love on another dog in our home. We believe that pets aren’t just fun and sweet animals, they are family members. We treat them as such. We have two kids ages 17 and 15 that also love animals and are excited to have pets in the house again. They are high energy and love to chase them and play with their toys (especially tug a war) with them. We love animals - especially dogs. We watch them as if they are our own by not leaving them outside alone for long periods, play with them and just love on them. Hablo español
“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
“She was great and my pets loved her. They appeared well taken care of and she provides frequent updates. The house was also better than we left it. Greatly appreciated her help and will utilize her again in the future.”
“Marianne is an angel and I did not worry about my girl’s care while we left her and our home in Marianne’s care. We are all blessed to have met Marianne and to have engaged her pet sitting services for our senior girl. Highly recommend in every way!”
“Francesca was absolutely perfect! Nit only was she exactly on time, she was flexible as our plans changed a few times. Our dogs loved her and she was great with them!! We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!!”
“Shaneka was great with my cats! Very patient and understanding when Maizzy took a bit to warm up to her and eat! The house was very tidy and litter cleaned when we got home which was nice. Shaneka followed all instructions and made sure Theos had his meds every morning. I didn't worry at all and will definitely have her sit for us again! I highly recommend Shaneka, reliable, trustworthy, punctual and great with the cats!”
About: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and am currently employed as a full-time vet tech. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I've always enjoyed caring for them. Additionally, I gained valuable experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I currently work as a full-time veterinary technician. Although I am currently employed I can still be extremely flexible if need be with enough time beforehand to plan! I have a fenced-in yard for my fur baby. Your pet will have plenty of places to roam and play. My personal dog roams around the house freely, but can be crated if needed.
“Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!”
About: Responsible and experienced pet sitter. I provide a safe, caring environment and personalized attention. Whether it’s for walks, feeding, or company, I’m here to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and loved. You can count on me to treat your furry friend like family 🤍. During the week I’m only available in the evenings, but on weekends I can be there for your pet as long as you need 🫡. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routine—walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. I respect their space and make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.”
“Rose was fantastic with our dog and cat. She stayed in our home. She sent beautiful daily photo updates and keep us informed on the daily basis. She followed the feeding schedule and instructions. We felt at peace during our trip We are so grateful to get to meet her. We will definitely book them again!! Thank you:)”
“Allison was great! We were a little anxious leaving our 12 year old Ziggy for the first time since we adopted him. However, at our meet and greet he went straight to Allison for scratch and hugs, so we were confident. She took great care of our boy, sent a daily update, watered the garden and all was in good shape on our return. Only down note is that she's graduated from university and will be starting a "real job" in the fall, and may retire. Oh well, she's got a good friend moving to town who may take over!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s age, temperament, and routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, including basic training support like leash manners, potty routines, and crate comfort. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, with scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and attentive check-ins built around my 3:30pm daily and weekly commitments I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, walks, play, training reinforcement, medication if needed, and a safe, calm environment in my home or yours.
“Jenna stayed at my hone and watched my 3 dogs. She is so sweet and my dogs love her. She followed instructions perfectly and kept an open line of communication with pictures and texts. I could tell my dogs were well taken care of because they were happy when I got home and exactly on their regular routine. I had a bad experience in the past and my dogs acted very sad and scared when I arrived home after a week. With Jenna they were so happy and ready to continue the fun and love they received while I was gone. It was a blessing to find her. I have already booked with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tamarac
Jessica was wonderful! She communicated well throughout her stay with my dog, sent pictures and was always responsive. My dog was very happy upon my arrival back home and I knew he felt at ease while I was away because he had even eaten which is unusual for him. I will absolutely be using Jessica again!
Amber is an absolute angel! At our initial meet and greet, she put me and my animals so at ease that I felt completely confident that she would be a perfect fit. Our first booking went as smoothly as expected and, for the first time, I didn’t find myself worrying about my animals while I was away. She followed the care notes, sent pics, and kept me apprised of all pertinent details. I was so pleased with the experience, I’ve already booked her for another upcoming trip and I’ve no doubt my animals will be super happy to see her again.😊
We used Ashley for an extended vacation that we took that we were able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Bailey was in great hands. Bailey loved Ashley from the moment she met her as she is a very shy and cautious girl initially. Ashley had the patience and knowledge with how to put Bailey at ease while we were out of town we felt that our home and our Bailey were both safe in Ashley’s hands. Highly recommend her services! Bailey is going to miss you!
Shaneka is the best cat sitter ever! I highly recommend her! She's great with my cats and leaves the house nice and clean! I get pictures and updates every day! She follows instructions and administers medicine to my older cat! I never worry when Shaneka is caring for my cats! Highly recommend!
Emma was amazing and cared for our dog deeply while we were away…couldn’t have gone any better! Her compassion, communication, & cuddles were top notch. Emma was very loving to our boy Brinx Kelli g us in the loop on his play time & walks etc via pictures we loved to receive while we were away.
Vincent saved the day. The original babysitter cancelled. 15 minutes before we got on the plane. I had to call Vincent at the last second before we got on the plane with no question asked, be went over the house and took care of my animals. I am definitely going to use him again very polite and nice guy. Thank you for everything.

I had an amazing experience with Tanaysia. From the very beginning, communication was clear and reassuring. She was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for my dog as if he was her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.
Maria took great care of my kittens over Thanksgiving weekend! They warmed up to her quickly and I knew they were in safe hands which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She sent me cute videos and updates daily and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again in the future to take care of my fur babies!
Marilyn was perfect with our three cats! When we first met her it felt like we’ve known her forever. The cats warmed up to her right away (especially our spicy tuxedo lol). She knew exactly how to take care of them and how to meet each of their needs. Marilyn played with the cats, gave them extra love, and made sure they were well fed (even with their usual mid day treats). Such a great experience!!

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 Tamarac 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 Tamarac 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tamarac 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
