About: I've taken care of my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.
“Alexa was so amazing with Macie. She spent a lot of time with her on each visit and we got pictures of Macie with each visit. It's so nice to know that our Macie was so well loved while we were away. I will be booking with Alexa again and I highly recommend her!”
“Laci took such great care of my pup while I was gone at work everyday. He loved her instantly because she spent the entire visit playing with him and giving him lots of love. I truly appreciate her for treating my pup as if he were her own ❤️”
About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!
About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.
“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of our three pups! She is reliable, communicative, and treated them like her own. I appreciated that she reached out to confirm date/timing the day before, and reviewed specifics of the needs for our senior pup ahead of time too. We came home to three happy, well-loved dogs—highly recommend! 🐾🐾🐾”
About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!
“Taylor did a fabulous job with my fur babies! She stopped in for 30 minutes to let them out, spent quality time playing with them, and even tried to hand feed them to make sure they felt loved and cared for while we were away. She took great pictures and videos of her interactions with them, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she has a heart for animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pets!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I grew up taking care of them, volunteering at animal shelters and helping neighbors with their pets when they were out of town. I will treat your pet just like my own and I can’t wait to meet them! :) I am available during the week Monday through Friday during the summer! I am able to make a quick stop in or take your pet for a walk! I will walk and play with your pets so that they get a break during the day! I can also feed them and give them water if needed.
About: I have a little over 3 years of experience caring for my friends and family’s dogs. They have entrusted me in walking their furbabies when they are unable to, feed and bathe them while they are away, and watch them for extended periods of time. I am currently available Monday-Friday after 4 pm to walk your dogs, or check in on them and feed them if you are away. Weekends I have an open Availability. And for extended stays I am available whenever. I do have a full time job however, I work 10 mins up the road and can check in on the dogs while on break. I live in a gated community and we have plenty of outdoor space to walk your dogs or let them out for some freedom. I do have a 7 yr old son who loves to play and entertain dogs.& I have a cage available if need be however they are free to roam the house.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
“Brooklyn was AMAZING!! She cared for our dog like her own and even got her to eat when other kennels we've tried just let her go without eating when she was experiencing separation anxiety. She sent photos and kept us updated on everything going on with her! We are so thankful for Brooklyn!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. In college, my sister and I rescued a dog together and shared custody, which was such a special experience. Loona had been taken from her mom at just a couple weeks old, so I learned early on how important patience, consistency, and lots of love really are. I’ve been around dogs with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds, and I love getting to know each one and learning what makes them unique. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, been dog sitting since I could drive, and grew up in a family that always had at least one dog in the house. Caring for dogs doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely love doing! I work 8–4:30 during the week, but since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to take short breaks for visits. Evenings are preferred, but I’m happy to work around schedules if needed. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and safe. I’m very respectful of your space and routines — having worked as a nanny for many years, I understand the importance of keeping a home tidy, following instructions, and leaving everything in great shape. My goal is always to make sure your pets are happy, cared for, and that your home is exactly as you left it… or even better!
“Karla did a wonderful job with Rudy. He has special needs and she was very conscientious of getting the steps to his feeding and meds correct. Rudy enjoys spending time with Karla!”

About: I have always grown up with 2-3 dogs in my house. They are all rescues and I love them more than anything. I love all animals no matter what shape or size. Since I live with 3 dogs, taking care of my pets is a daily routine. Throughout the day I always make sure they have everything they could need to live a happy, healthy life. I have multiple crates incase it is necessary and plenty of toys to bring or use when your pets are over. With many leashes to choose from, walks are always fun for both your pet and me. With me they will never be bored.

We are so lucky to have Rachelle. She’s incredibly dedicated and really takes the time to focus on our crazy puppy. She makes sure he gets all his play time and potty breaks, and works on his training also. She always keeps us in the loop, makes sure we are on the same page with routine/training and sends updates everyday. We would 100% recommend!

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.

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.
