About: Hi my name is Rylee! I am a veterinary technician who just recently graduated for my veterinary technician degree. I work and have worked at a veterinary clinic in Plum, Pa. I have 4 beautiful dogs of my own and one sweet cat Tinkerbell. Out of my large fur family I have 2 Labrador retrievers Finnagan and Drake, and 2 little fur babies Zoey and Koda who are Pomeranians and chihuahua. I’ve been taking care of animals most of my whole life and feel in love with them and made them my passion in life. I have a wide range of knowledge with animals due to my full time job as a technician and schooling which has helped me work with almost every kind of pet I’m currently a part bartender and stay at one mom with plenty of time during the days and evenings to help with all types of pet care needs! I currently take care of my family members dogs, including my own everyday with walks and feeding schedules that matches their daily routine when I am not there. If any animal would need to be crated, specific feeding, playtime, and medication delivery I can absolutely provide all of those needs.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter who has grown up around dogs and has spent years helping with dog rescues and fostering. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets and animals who need medications or extra care. I’m flexible with my schedule and enjoy being able to give pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. For overnight stays, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and have experience with rescue dogs, fostering, senior pets, and animals who need medications or extra attention. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep you updated while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is clean and secure when you return.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too! I have a large unfenced yard but willing to take dog to a fenced yard if needed! My daughter and I love spending time with animals.
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
About: I can guarantee the peace of mind we all want in knowing our pets will be in safe, loving care! About me: I am 23, a Penn State grad (Psychology), and a huge animal lover- as well as an advocate for animal welfare. While I may not possess the skill set of a certified or trained professional, I am very knowledgeable and perceptive to feline and dog behavior, temperament assessment, signals of discomfort/boundary violation, and their needs for excellent care. I know my boundaries with what weight class I feel most comfortable working with, and for that reason I must clarify I cannot confidently handle dogs independently that weighing 50-60 lbs. I have raised and welcomed multiple dogs and cats into our family, adding to informal experience working with animals. I had also volunteered at my hometown’s local animal shelter for 3 years, ensuring all 30+ cats were well taken care of and living in adequate, clean conditions. If you would like to reach out and ask further questions, feel free to message me. I can/will provide my phone number via chat! If I accept taking on a job, it is because I can confidently provide adequate care without time constraints or other responsibilities to worry about. I care for every animal I am entrusted with as though they are my own. I look for creative ways to offer not only sufficient care but above-and-beyond care, like providing mental enrichment. There is no shortage of love and kisses and cuddles if I’m an animal caretaker.
About: One always wanted to have a dog of my own so taking care of other pets wood help me experience what I’ll need to know annd do when it’s the right time to have my own dog. I work early in the morning, after work I have nothing better to do besides take care of my family and my vehicles. I love to go to the park, travel, and go out to eat. I’m usually in the house in a safe and pleasant neighborhood, if I do go outside I’m either working, walking throughout the trail at our park or grabbing something to eat!. I rest assure everybody in my neighborhood doesn’t see me often only my neighbors. I honestly like it that way, it does protect us from what can possibly happen outside but I’m always protected and protective about everything!
“Incredibly reliable and attentive sitter. My cat took to her immediately! I received pictures and regular updates with every visit. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone!”

About: I have been taking care of my friends miniature american bulldog named Yoshi for around a month at a time for the past year whenever she allows me to take him because he is so sweet and I have the time to train and walk him. I also have a bike path right behind my house so Yoshi enjoys his walks and seeing people that can give him scratches and belly rubs. I have 2 Guinea pigs that stay caged and don’t enjoy any fun activities with me so I enjoy the excitement of a dog I work from home, I have a skin care business making natural soaps so I am always home and available to go on routines walks. I’m also a mason and teaching myself carpentry and the goal is to build luxury dog homes so if you’re happy to have your dog be a model for my dog homes then it will be greatly appreciated and I will make a fun activity out of it for us. I also keep a large box of milk bones for good doggies. I prefer to spend as much time possible doing whatever your furry bestie enjoys that makes them temporarily not miss you but I do have a small back yard with an in ground leash and easy access to look out my window and watch if there’s any dogs who enjoy sitting outside for long periods of time, otherwise there’s lots of attention given and plenty of fun walks. Yoshi also loves car rides if that’s something your pet also enjoys and we’re going to start being regulars at the dog park since everyone loves him there and he loves everyone right back. So if your dog has never experienced a dog park yoshi will gladly assist in making him or her comfortable
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”

About: Hello! I’ve always grown up with dogs, and often had more than one in the house. I recently moved out on my own after college and am missing my childhood pets terribly. Now that I’m not in school, I have some more free time to fill (hopefully with dropping in to see your furry friends ❤️) and would love the opportunity to take some stress off your hands :) I work a regular 9-5 but have pretty open weekends and evenings. I would love to watch your pets during those times to give you the flexibility for weekend trips and date nights. As a walker or if you request a drop-in I’ll make sure to get your pup(s) the exercise and attention they need, and maybe a little extra love For house sitting-I’ll be sure to treat your space with the respect and care it deserves!
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in a fully remote position, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be home throughout the day! Working from home gives me the opportunity to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care while maintaining my normal work routine. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, overnight stays, and generally have full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,462 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Trafford. 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.
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 Trafford 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 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.
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.

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.
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.
