About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: I am Deaf & love animals. We have 4 pets. 2 dogs (Faye & Bella - sweet girls!), & 2 cats (Mister & Garfield - our boys!) I am willing to house sit any animals of any sizes/kind. I also know how to give dogs oral medications and such. I am willing to travel about 50 miles from my house to the location for services. Check out the calendar for my availability. Thank you for looking at my profile. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime! Available anytime but would like to know ahead of time so I can accommodate with my schedule since I work from home running 3 businesses. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are freely roaming around my house. If necessary, I can come to your place if you’re more comfortable with that.
“My dogs really look forward to Wednesdays with Tony and get so excited when he arrives! He's fantastic with both of them, especially since they’re such big dogs. Tony is consistently loving -yet firm—always working to help them improve their behaviors and fine-tune their habits!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
About: I be taken care of a variety of animals from livestock to house pets for over 6 years. Which include basic care.. feeding, grooming, medication, or medical care in some cases I do currently have a part time job, if you get to me 1-2 weeks ahead of time I can work my schedule around for when you’ll need me. I can do last mute booking depending on the circumstances I can give your animal(s) any care needed from medical care depending on what the care is to basic care including feeding, training, walking etc.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.

About: I specialize in dogs that need a little extra grace and a lot of patience, but I also love a social butterfly! Having raised a reactive high-drive mix and managed the pulling power of large breeds like Labs and Great Danes, I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker. I bring a calm, highly disciplined, and observant approach to every visit, ensuring your dog feels secure and understood. My Special Skills Include: Reactive & Anxious Dog Handling: Creating safe, low-stress environments for sensitive souls. High-Drive Breed Management: Experience safely handling and exercising powerful, high-energy working breeds. Behavioral Reinforcement: Utilizing consistent treat training, professional handling techniques, and keen observation of canine body language. Large Breed Experience: Confident leash-handling for strong pullers. Whether your dog is a socialite who loves making friends or a sensitive pup who needs a sitter with unshakeable patience, I tailor my approach specifically to them. Pet care is a staple of my daily routine! While I work a standard 9-to-6 business day 5 days of the week, I am wide awake and ready to go for those early 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM morning walks. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention before I head out, and I’m back in the evenings for more play, dinner, and potty breaks until 10:00 PM. I specialize in recurring schedule drop ins and walks, ensuring your pets have a consistent best friend to look forward to constantly. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for a drop-in, your pets are treated like family. My approach combines physical exercise with mental engagement—I love incorporating short, positive training sessions into our day to keep their minds sharp. They’ll get plenty of 'tummy rub' downtime and scheduled feedings, but they’ll also get the structure and play they need to stay happy and tired out. Your dog won't just be watched; they’ll be active, engaged, and thoroughly spoiled.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.
About: I’ve always had a dog involved in my life at such a young age. After I moved out on my own, I got my own fur babies. My dogs have been all over the USA with me. I am a retired truck driver. I love to give as much love & time as I can to my fur babies because we only have them for a limited time. I have a very flexible schedule since I am a self employed. I block off my schedule well in advance so there are no complications when booking. I love to take Coda on a walk in the evening, as we have a decent back yard and she enjoys roaming around it and laying in the sun. I have a huge basket of toys to allow for playing as well as give treats as seen fit.

About: Hello, I’m Mallory and I have 3 dogs and a ferret that I adore! I am comfortable with almost any indoor pet, including rodents and reptiles. I was a member of FFA in high school and showed goats in youth fairs for several years. Throughout my childhood and adult life, there have been 2-5 pets in the household, as well as outdoor livestock. Rest assured the following will be provided during your pet’s stay: Fresh food and water, adequate indoor/outdoor playtime, neighborhood walks, baths, and several comfortable resting areas. I will make sure your furry companion feels safe and happy while you enjoy your time away! I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. If I leave the house for any reason, I always return within 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I am able to pick up and drop off due to my flexible schedule. My dogs are nothing if not spoiled! However, they are supervised almost 24/7 and have ample opportunities to play or potty within my fully fenced yard. My 3 dogs will keep your furry friend company, if you so wish. My dogs have free rein to the furniture, living, kitchen and dining areas whether I am home or not. If you are more comfortable with your pet in a crate when I am away, that can be arranged. In addition, my dogs have access to their food and water all day, but it can be put away if your pet has a special feeding schedule. I am very flexible and understand all pets have different needs and personalities!
About: Since youth, I’ve worked on farms and ranches with many types of animals and wildlife but also resided in the city with domesticated pets. I have also owned several different kinds of dogs, cats, cows, goats, and fish. They are all fun to be around for me. Being involved with a wide range of wildlife and pets in all ages, I’ve learned how to entertain and care for fresh born all the way to upper age seniors. I love to exercise and take my pets with me so whether it’s a young pup who needs a good run or a senior dog who can only take a small walk, I know when to adjust to all. I travel for work but when I am not traveling I work from home. The best part of working from home is the time I have to be active, spend time, and play with my pets rather than boarding. I have a fenced in yard that is secure where my pets love to roam and play if they are not in the house hanging out with me. They are crate trained so if your pet has a sleep routine you need followed mine are easy enough to comply. Indoors or outdoors, my pets love to socialize but can be separated if yours prefer individual time.
About: I would love to take care of your pet! I can accommodate whatever care requests needed! I have a comfy home and a golden doodle that would love a friend! I work from home so I have plenty of time to watch your pet, feed them on a schedule, walk them, and give them potty breaks. I have a fenced in backyard they can play in, and a very comfy house where I let animals on the furniture and there’s also plenty of toys for them to play with!
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! My neighbors, friends, & family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies while they leave for vacation or whatever it may be. I’m very flexible as far as drop ins! I can come early in the morning or late at night, whichever you prefer. I can come as many times a day as needed. I rescue dogs & cats! They always seem to find me one way or another. At this time I currently have 5 dogs & 8 cats (inside & outside cats), and a rabbit. Really wanting a prairie dog but still undecided.
About: I have had a deep love for animals ever since I was a child. I've had all kinds of pets from iguanas to chameleons and many more :) I have had 3 years of pet sitting experience. And it has always been a really fun little hobby that I enjoy. What really drew me to love dogs was when I got my puppy Emma❤️. She was my baby growing up and ever since dogs have had a special place with me ☺️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
