About: I have cowboy corgi named Bubba that I’m obsessed with. He loves having other dogs over to play with! We promise to take good care of your pup! I work from home doing customer service Monday-Friday full time. Your dog gets a morning bathroom break, mid day bathroom break, and one in the evening with the walk of the day. They’ll get to hangout with myself, bubba, and my husband. They can even sleep in our bed if that’s what they normally do with you. I live in a condo so I will take them out on leash for bathroom breaks and walks. They’re is a walking path in my neighborhood that is great for dogs.
“Lara is simply amazing. She is trustworthy and my dogs LOVE her, they get really happy around her and are very comfortable. I would absolutely have her take care of my dogs anytime I need to go out in the future. Not to mention her dog training experience makes her extra amazing. She communicates/is responsive, she provides updates, will notate instructions, she stays in top of it Super responsible.”

About: I've owned and cared for various pets over the past 20 years. I've gained experience caring for animals outside of my own pets by working at shelters and vet clinics.

About: With over a decade of experience working at a professional doggy daycare, I know exactly what it takes to keep pups safe, happy, and entertained!

Their day includes splashing in the fresh water pool, a dedicated walk, and plenty of fresh water and doggy cookies. It’s the ultimate VIP day out, backed by 10+ years of professional pet care experience! This exclusive Doggy Bus adventure is a 5-6 hour VIP experience, currently available on weekends. I will personally pick up your pup in our specialized doggy bus between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

With over 10 years of professional doggy daycare experience, your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities! Our private, secure facility features a fully fenced grass yard, fun dog ramps, and supervised fresh water pools for splashing. During the day, we take small pack walks (up to 4 dogs at a time) on quiet back roads. If your pup isn't up for a walk, they can safely chill and play at the daycare! All dogs have constant access to fresh drinking water, plenty of shade, and get treated to delicious doggy cookies.

About: From playful doodles to strong Dobermans and newborn Frenchies, I’ve handled many breeds and provide consistent, dependable care every time. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times! Since I work from home, I have the freedom to give dogs consistent care throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, attention, and supervision! My home provides a safe and calm environment for pets, with easy access to the outdoors. I live in an apartment that makes it simple to take dogs out as needed, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk.
About: While I've grown up with dogs (from little to large breeds), I've an affinity and appreciation for all animals and am confident in my capacity to provide care, respectively. I understand how wonderfully special they are, offering unrivaled companionship, connection, and comfort; that they inspire joy and gratitude in our hearts through their individual character, play, and temperament. My intent and investment in the care of other's animals is to elicit and instill a peace of mind that their care is like that of my own (though, of course, only second best to oneself). I'm currently available, working remotely with a pretty flexible schedule, to attend to your best friend, be it dog, cat, or kiddo's leopard gecko or rabbit. At this time, my kind, attentive, and consistent care extends exclusively to that in / around my clients' homes. I want you and your pet to feel the most at ease -- in that of a known and comfortable environment. I'm amenable and responsive to any instructions, preferences, and needs. Most recently, I cared for a two-year-old mini Golden Doodle (while housesitting in Northern California) that unexpectedly developed an unfortunate "hot spot". Through diligent communication with her owners (who were vacationing in Europe), we coordinated how best to proceed. This included several visits to a vet, where she also, as it turned out, had double ear infections. Treatment protocol required both topical and oral medications twice daily. I recorded an audio of the summary diagnosis from the vet and shared this with her humans, as well as regular updates and photos of the healing progress. Simultaneously, I was asked to move her to a balanced raw diet (like that of my own dog), and which required more effort but that was entirely inline with what I'm already accustomed.
About: With over 35 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds from small Shih Tzu’s to energetic Australian shepherds and many in between. I understand that each dog has unique needs. In my home, pets are treated like family and given plenty of love and attention. They’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime, along with daily walks, or games of fetch tailored to their energy level and preferences. There are no children or other pets in the home, allowing for a calm, focused environment, where your dog can feel comfortable, secure, and get the attention they need. I am an elementary school teacher. I am available all summer and holidays. My holiday breaks are longer than usual due to my teaching schedule. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I recently lost my 18 year-old Shih Tzu. So there are no other dogs in the home. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will walk your dog daily and play fetch in the backyard. Pets in my home are treated to lots of affection. I also have no children living at home so they get a lot of attention. Snuggles on the couch are welcome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thistle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
