“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks 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.
“Autumn was great with my two young dogs! She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates. It was wonderful to know that my girls were getting some outside and playtime while I was away for the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out for help with my pups again!! 😊”
“Vivien is absolutely amazing!!! I found her for a last min trip, and not only did she immediately scheduled a same day meet and greet with my two cats, but she also agreed to take care of them the very next day! She was a life saver at that time. Afterwards, Vivien has been my routine cat caregiver and she has went above and beyond to play and love my two cats. My cats are so comfortable with her and they love her so much. My cats are high maintenance too and Vivien has worked with me from every angle to tackle some litter box issue. She cleaned my house everytime as well! I can’t say enough good things about her. If you have pets to take care, I highly recommend Vivien!! You won’t regret it.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. Each dog is the best dog and deserves the entire world. I will treat yours as if they are my own. They are precious and incredible creatures that we should cherish. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs from puppies to elderly dogs with significant health issues and loved them all. I work part time so I am flexible and happy to spend time with your creature friends whenever is convenient. Just let me know what times are best and we will work it out. I am happy to follow all house rules and care for your dog in whatever way you would like me to. Walks and playtime are always a joy.
“Jasmine cared for my Zoey so well and is professional. The check in reports were so thorough, it brought me comfort while being away. I came home to a happy and stress free pup, which is telling! All care instructions were followed and it shows. We will be booking with Jasmine again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life since majority of my family members have them. I used to have the responsibility of feeding and providing potty breaks for my grandparents dog. Now I have a cat of my own. I’m currently working full time, so I typically only have Thursday-Saturday to look after your pets. More than happy to try and make any time work for those days! As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. Having cared for my own cat and looked after animals for many years, I know how to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and routine.
About: I've loved animals since a child I would bring animals home to my mother And father and rescue animals they are so precious to me I'm currently working as an entrepreneur I own my own businesses so my time is as flexible as is needed you always have time for the things you love to do I have a fenced yard and plenty of room in my home just let me know your requirements I am sure that I can work with pretty much anyone
“Samantha went above and beyond my expectations. She’s there she sent pictures. I really appreciate everything she done with for me. It sure made my mind at ease no my kitties were safe in her hands thank you Samantha.!!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for years for a few clients. Looking to meet some new fur babies. I will stay in your home for the pet's comfort. I am comfortable walking most dogs and administering medications. I do work a part time job and am in college during the fall and winter. I haven’t needed to decline a job for these though. I can easily make time for your pets. I will follow whatever rules you have when letting the dog out and going for walks. I will make sure your home stays clean for your return.
“Kelsey is a great person to help with your pets. She is punctual, communicates effectively, and will show endless love for your animals! My Greyhound wags his tail 100 mph when he sees her! Better snag her before someone else does!”
About: I understand that people need services for their pets as most people are heading back to work after being remote for over a year. Most people are heading back to the office four times a week in 2026. I work from home three to four days a week so I am able to provide the extra care at an affordable rate in the comforts of your own home. I regularly house sit for different animals. I have watched horses, lambs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with always having pets and never without. I’m available at different times throughout the week and mornings on the weekend since I work full time. Since I work from home, I would love to help other pet owners. Feel free to message for additional details. I took a break from Rover due to the loss of my golden retriever. But I am happy to be back and assist anyone. I can stop over to crate, let out for a potty break, house sit, and take your pet for walks. I do will offer boarding in my home for the right person. I’m pretty flexible in my time so please reach out for questions that you may have. This will allow us to get to know each other. I make sure your animal is my number one priority in my home or yours! If I have to stay a little longer; that’s totally okay. I hope you don’t mind if I bring my work laptop if my stay is over an hour.

We’re sorry free anytime we book Teagan to come take care of Teemu, sent her profile to our friends we were with who were jealous we had someone to take care of our dog. Teagan goes out of her way to make sure our dog is taken care of. Trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and definitely cares about our animals when we’re away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temperance stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Temperance 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 .
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.
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 Temperance 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.
