About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had one or two dogs of my own for most of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities and have experience raising dogs from puppyhood, which has given me a lot of patience and confidence with all kinds of behaviors. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and strong-willed dogs. I’m an active walker and runner, so I’m happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise through long walks or even jogs. I also have experience with gentle, compassionate leash training for dogs who are still learning. I’m currently puppy-less for the first time and would love to pour that extra love, attention, and energy into caring for your dog as if they were my own. I work from home as a travel advisor and maintain a flexible, self-managed schedule. This allows me to easily accommodate daytime drop-in visits, and I keep my availability updated on a weekly basis. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to provide frequent drop-in visits or overnight pet sitting in your home, as trust allows. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow your established schedule and activities so your dog or cat can maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away.

“Ashley and Amber where great. My pups can be a bit over exuberant around new people but calmed down and warmed up to Ashley and Amber immediately. They where professional and even checked in on my baby chicks while walking the girs. We'll definitely be using these awesome ladies again.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for my friends and family since I was 10 years old. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have also worked with puppies, geriatric dogs, and dogs with special medical needs, and I can reliably administer medication with minimal stress to the pet. I prioritize calm, comfortable, and compassionate care that meets the unique requirements of each dog I care for. I work full time but with multiple hour breaks throughout the day and fully free evenings. I would be able to care for pets in the evening from 5:00 pm as long as needed. On the weekends and holidays I have full freedom to spend the full time with pets. In my own home I provide a quiet, calm environment with many pet beds, a fenced yard, large windows, high places, and areas and rooms that can be completely from one another. In clients homes, I care for pets by communicating before the service to establish boundaries and access instructions as well as meet the pets. Before getting to the property, I tell the client I am on my way. Then when I provide the care, I enter the property as instructed and feed and water the pet/s (including medication if needed). Then I change litter, bedding, pee pads, etc. Then I do any grooming that the pets need. After that I socialize and play with the pets if they are comfortable with that. Before leaving I clean anything else that needs to be cleaned. Then I leave and secure the property as instructed and send a message to the client to update them.

About: You can expect compassionate and dedicated care for your furry family member. Having on and off experience with dogs and cats, volunteering at animal shelters, and my best friend being a vet... I am confidently someone you can trust. I am currently off for the summer and have a really flexible schedule to play with your pups and kits. I would honestly prefer to know what your fur family's schedule is-routine is good. I will follow the specific instructions you set. That would be important to me also if my fur babies were still with me. I am currently apartment living, so my care would consist of visits and walks.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including my own dogs and cats. I’ve also pet-sat for friends several times, so I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I’m available for drop-ins anytime throughout the entire week and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and preferred visit times. I’m also very flexible with house sitting and can accommodate different schedules and care needs. During drop ins, I provide plenty of attention and companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and lots of love and cuddles! I’m also happy to bring in packages/mail, water plants, or take care of other small tasks around the home while I’m there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away In my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I give plenty of attention, keep things clean, and always make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have previous pet sitting experience through ........, caring for both dogs and cats with overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and provide the care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or medication with instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. My availability is updated regularly, and I’ll always communicate promptly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and my friendly Husky, Yunaleska(Yuna Tuna), loves having canine companions. Because Yuna is not spayed, I require male dogs staying in my home to be neutered for everyone’s safety and comfort. My cats are accustomed to dogs and generally prefer to relax in their own space. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication instructions. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

“This is our second time using Lorelei. She is so wonderful with our kitty. I also had a bit of a learning curve with rover and she was able to help me out. She is incredibly patient and great at communicating. We also forgot to leave Laney some treats and she went and got her some. I would highly recommend her.”

About: From cats to chickens and gerbils to guinea pigs, animals, including dogs of all sizes have been apart of my family over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Vera, who I met over a year ago while volunteering at the animal shelter. I’m happy to share she is my #fosterfail. I love taking her for walks and giving her lots of cuddles. I like following Caesar Millan’s techniques and his approach of being a pack leader. I’m in grad school so my schedule is filled with classes and school work. I have flexibility to love and care for your pets while you’re away taking them on walks, giving belly rubs, and playing with them. I am happy to love and care for your pets through giving them plenty of affection and attention to support their individual needs. Your pets are your family and I want them to feel safe with me. Before the service I recommend meeting with you and your pet so we can ensure the smoothest experience possible. The more I know about your pet the better I can love and care for them. I want to know of any dietary requirements, potty break schedule, and unique needs. I am also happy to provide updates that fit your schedule. Please let me know how I can help :)

About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
