“Wendy was super helpful with my kitties! She was flexible and had great communication. I’m sure they loved their vacation watching birdie TV. She went the extra mile to sweep up my floors and take out my trash which made coming home from my trip so much easier. Thank you!”
“Nilanjana did a great job looking after our two cats. She was reliable, sent us updates, and the cats were happy and well cared for when we got home. This was our first time using Rover and would definitely book again.”
About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
“Tori was caring and good to my dogs while I was across the country. She would send cute photos of my fur babies having fun. I am already booking her again for my August 2nd travels!”
About: I have cared for dogs for about 10 years now since having my own when I was a kid and constantly being around them and entertaining them to the fullest and ensuring they are happy, healthy and comfortable as their lives go on. All of the duties being walking, feeding, playing, and entertaining the dog throughout the whole day. I am skilled with being patient, kind, assertive and playful with each and every type of dog. I work full-time at a 24hr vet hospital so I am constantly around dogs & cats! My schedule is Tuesday-Friday so I will be fully available on Saturday-Mondays! I hope to get the opportunity to meet your fur babies! :) I’m currently working full-time, Tuesday-Fridays & am available on Saturday-Monday throughout the day! I work at a vet hospital & have 1 dog of my own so I am constantly around pups all day long! I am the one who is mainly feeding, picking up after, playing & walking my dog. I enjoy relaxing and just simply hanging out with her as well!
About: Taking a break from being a pet foster to pet sit again. I was a vet tech for 8 years and I have owned pets for 30 years. I can administer any medications needed. I will also watch dogs that have behavioral issues and I have no breed restrictions. My schedule provides the ability to watch puppies and provide them with the frequent play and bathroom breaks they need. I can also take your pet to any appointments they may have while you are out of town. I am unable to watch pets in my home. I will take your dog on hikes with me if you want or will take them on a stroll in your neighborhood. My work allows me to work from home so when I am pet sitting, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pet. When I am taking care of someone's pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I know that keeping their routine helps to minimize any stress of their owner being away.
“Lindsay did a great job of doing drop in visits for our cats while we were away for 4 days! She was communicative and went above and beyond with updates and making sure everything was okay when we were away.”
About: I've been around dogs intermittently, ranging from small to large, lazy to active, and administered medicine to elderly dogs as well. I understand that every dog is different and will do my very best to accommodate to each and every dog I take care of. I have a very open availability, I'm only away for ~10hrs spread out between two days during the weekdays. I can pop for however long or stay for a couple of hours! Whatever the pet needs I can provide. I keep a watchful, attentive eye on the pets I care for. I give them my full attention when playing with them, and whenever they ask for attention. I treat all animals with respect and play with them in a style suited for each individual personality.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and have worked with dogs from energetic puppies to older dogs that need more care and other medications. I’ve also been a dog and cat sitter for my neighbors. I am currently a junior in college so my schedule can be busy but I can usually make room every few hours in between and after classes I also work a couple nights a week but anywhere in between I’m pretty flexible. I cannot house any dogs in my home overnight, but if needed I can have them over during the day! I can give regular potty breaks and necessary walks when needed. Since I am a student full time I cannot travel further the 20-30 minutes during the week and up to an hour on weekends.
About: I’m a Zoology student at OSU and I’ve previously worked for a doggy day-care. I love pets and have always had them in my home! I have experience pet-sitting and often have repeat clients :) I’m a full time college student but I have lots of free time and. I can make my schedule flexible for you! I’m available in the evenings and early mornings. I try my best to reduce anxiety in the pets under my care by following their regular routines as close as I can and giving them extra love while their owner is away!
“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”
“Imani did an amazing job watching my cats while I was out of town! She sent lots of pictures and even brushed out their fur and made sure they were comfortable and happy! 💖”
“We had a great experience with Caitlin caring for our cats. She was always prompt with feeding times, and made sure to spend quality time playing with the cats. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was, with all of the written feedback and photos she took during each visit. We would be happy to book her again!”
About: I pet sat for my neighbors all throughout highschool, along with being a nanny. I also grew up with all sorts of animals, so I understand how to manage them and care for them! I work during the day Thursday 2:30-10:30, and Saturday-Sunday 2:30pm-6:30am. I am able to do overnights, and can check in regularly even on my weekend shifts during my two lunches. I have knowledge to care for dogs, cats, fish and reptiles as well. I keep a watchful eye, especially on the little ones. I personally have a 4 pound Chihuahua, so i understand the anxiety that comes along with letting someone else watch them.
About: I've lived with my dog, Avery, for about 10 years back home, have cared for family friends' dogs when needed, have participated in fetch-a-friend multiple times with Heartland Humane Shelter, and I am very comfortable around cats as well. I can provide a very active few days running or walking for your pets, or I can keep them homely company while you are away. Since I have a car, if desired, I can take your pets to the park or just on short car rides. If your pets have any medications required, or specific eating/dosage times, I will make sure to set alarms to stay on time and dependable. My main job right now is DoorDash, so any time you need me to be available is free. My schedule can allow for week-long petcare, if needed, or just a short walk :3 I try my best to be friendly, understanding, and patient with any pets I interact with; if a pet is trying to tell me something, I will pay my best attention! Additionally, if a pet needs some space while adjusting to me or the lack of usual people around, I can provide that space while still keeping an eye on them.
“Christina did a great job watching our two cats while we were out of town. She was responsible and attentive, we had one small hiccup with our lock box key but she was patient and willing to be flexible for us while we figured out how to get her a new key. We will definitely keep Christina in mind for future visits!”
“Elly was terrific taking care of my older cat Luna. It was very reassuring to have someone handle all of her meds and needs so well that I could relax and enjoy a few days off. She was wonderful with Luna, took care of everything requested and posted regular updates and pics. Highly recommend her.”

Emily was amazing! This was the second time she’s watched our fur babies, and we always feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She helped us out last minute, communicated really well the whole time, and even had an unexpected emergency come up but still made sure our pets were taken care of. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We came home to happy pets and had great peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tangent stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Tangent 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Tangent with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
