About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. My family has always had dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’ve also owned cats my whole life and truly understand how to take care of them with lots of love and patience. I can administer medicine, take them on walks, feed, bathe, you name it! Your pets will be treated like family when they’re with me! I am pretty flexible. Right now I am currently working full time but I think there will be a shift in my schedule soon! :) When I am in your residence, I will treat it with the utmost care and do exactly as you instructed for the care of your fur baby. Anything you need such as your litter box needing scooped, medicine, etc. I got your back!

About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs and cats, to reptiles, fish and rodents! I’m very good at training. I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, starting with an elderly ladies puppy cocker spaniel. I’m also very patient, and I love activities like walking, and playing. I currently have mornings from 6am-4pm available. I have night classes from 5pm-11pm Monday-Thursday. My weekends are available with open availability being Friday-Sunday I have a fenced in yard, with one dog, one cat, and one Betta! We have a feeding schedule, we take walks, and so mentally stimulating activities such as training and puzzles
About: While I no longer have pets of my own, I am always pet sitting for my friends and have always had a very close relationship with all animals, big or small! I currently am a Lyft and Uber driver so my schedule is always flexible, making it easy to do this job whenever there is demand! All animals deserve the love that we give to any person (in my opinion!). They need to know that I'm just as much there to protect them as they are to protect me; to create a mutual bond. I give my all when taking care of your pets!

“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”

“Dorian was beyond amazing with my wild child. She made sure that he was comfortable enough and gave him all the attention and love he needed while i was gone even if it meant spending a few extra minutes with him. Thank you sooooo much and i really appreciate everything you did for Onyx!”

“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”

About: With complete thanks to my mother, I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. From cats and dogs, to birds, snakes, and lizards. I truly have cared for them all! I can also follow any directions you give me to a tee. I am open to caring for not only cats and dogs, but other furry and scaly friends as well. I also consider myself to be an amazing pet photographer, and can keep you updated with plenty of pictures during our visit. Allow me to ease your mind while you are away, and give your furry friend(s) the best staycation they have ever experienced! I am open to dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time as a case manager. I am fortunate to be able to work from home 4 days/week. This gives me the flexibility to be able to check on your animals frequently. I am also available for mid day dog walks when the work day seems a bit too long for the pups. Every animal I encounter, I treat with respect and kindness. I have been a dog/cat mom of my own for about 5 years, and grew up with a plethora of animals to take care of. Since a young child, I have had a special bond with animals. You can truly trust that your pet will be in the best hands when leaving them under my care. I am also completely okay with any video cameras/surveillance during my visits as I also have cameras for my animals! Unfortunately, my own dog is reactive. This means I will only be able to provide drop-in visits to your home. However, I am comfortable with reactive dogs and feisty cats!

About: Since I was little I've always had a dog to care for. Not a moment goes by where I’m not thinking of an animal . I have experience with puppy potty training, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable with walks and park time :) Pet care fits right into my routine because I am home a lot with my son. But we also love hiking and adventure. So the dogs can join us! This allows lot of outdoor time and exercise. I live with my so there are always extra hands. My mom doesn’t work right now so there is always someone in the house to keep your animal company if I have to work. Which is only a few hours a few days a week. My mom is Mia and is an approved rover sitter on my profile :) I love keeping the dogs active and letting them play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door so they can always feel free to use the potty or get some fresh air. Plus park visits! I treat my dogs like guests. They can join me to cuddle on the couch or bed ❤️ their comfort is my top priority so they feel safe while you’re out of town .
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University Heights
I am so happy that I was introduced to Karissa through my regular Rover dog walker… she is amazing!!! It was instantly clear in our meet and greet that she loves fur babies of all kinds and would take great care of mine while I’m away. I am so appreciative of her extra effort and willingness to drive a very long distance (twice a day!) so my dog can enjoy his long walks/fetch sessions- most people would never do that. She is punctual, reliable, thorough, quick to answer messages, and very caring- my highest recommendation 💖.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 walker.
