“Autumn provided quality care for Grace and provided detailed reports of her visits. The photos she provided showed Grace was having a great time! She was incredibly communicative about her schedule and made sure I was okay with any deviations from the original times of her drop-in visits. Autumn went the extra mile and watered my plants and brought my garbage can back to my house. I will definitely be looking to ask Autumn to watch Grace again!”

“Serena was amazing! From agreeing to cat-sit on short notice (regular sitter had a family emergency), to getting my carpets almost 100% clean after my cats left some "presents"... Serena also sent photos every day, and my cats were very content when I got home! I would certainly utilize her services again!”
“Oren did an amazing job. We had two drop-ins, and he played ball with our dog. He was so tired when we got home. Sent photos and even brought his cute little girl. Which I am sure our big dog was in heaven with her.”
About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a teenager, worked in a kennel during grad school, and have extensive personal experience with senior and geriatric dogs, including mobility issues, medication routines, monitoring comfort, and hospice-style care. Currently a cat owner and love them too. I work mostly from home, so I can schedule my days around other obligations. I'm happy to do visits either during the work day or in morning or evening hours. I'm happy caring for any type of pet, I have experience with special diets, meds, putting dogs in crates, cats in carriers, mobility devices , etc. I also love to interact, talk to, and play with dogs, cats, birds, anything.

“Amber did a great job watching after our pups while we went on vacation! Great communication/photo updates while we were gone and the dogs seemed to absolutely love her! I was hesitant with how my Rottweiler would do with a new person watching after him but I had nothing to worry about! Would definitely recommend her with your fur babies and even watching after the house!”

About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.
About: I have walked family member’s dogs since I was a kid and have owned dogs since I was in my 20s. I have experience with all types of dogs! I work in Maumee during the week until 5:00 so available after that to check in on your pets and/ or walk your dog! I have 2 dogs named Lilly and Koda and a cat named Puff! I have experience with many types of dogs and cats. I would love to stop into your home to check on any of your fur babies!

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm Novalee (legal name Brooke), and if your dog loves having friends, being outside, playing until they're tired and then crashing on the couch at the end of the day, they'll probably fit right in here. I work from home, so your dog gets plenty of company, attention and time to play throughout the day. What a day here looks like: When the weather is nice, you'll usually find us outside. I often bring my work into the backyard while the dogs run, play fetch, chase their friends or stretch out in the shade. Our approximately 50' × 60' backyard is fully enclosed by a 5' fence with plenty of shade and room to run, and outdoor time is always supervised. On hotter days, we rotate between outdoor play and cooling down inside. Rainy days mean finding breaks in the weather to get outside, followed by muddy-paw cleanups, indoor play and couch time. By evening, it's usually dogs sprawled across the couch and dog beds, completely tuckered out while we all wind down together. Their routine comes with them: I want your dog's stay to feel as familiar as possible, so I follow their normal feeding schedule, medications, supplements, sleeping preferences and home routines. Owners provide their dog's regular food and treats so there are no unexpected diet changes during their stay. If they're used to a kennel, we'll continue that. If they're a couch sleeper, the couch is fair game. If they normally sleep near their people, their bed can go beside mine. Beds, blankets, toys and other comfort items from home are always encouraged. You'll get updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your animals behind, so I send photos and videos frequently. You'll get to see your dog playing with friends, hanging out with me, napping or completely crashed after a full day of fun. Safety & good fits: Every new boarding client starts with a meet & greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable with my home, pets and environment before their first stay. Dogs are always supervised outside, meals are fed separately and supervised, and I have indoor and outdoor cameras, gates and separate spaces available when someone needs a break from the group. Because this is a social, multi-pet home, boarding dogs need to safely coexist with other dogs and cats. Shy dogs, seniors, puppies and high-energy dogs are all welcome as long as our home is a good fit for their individual needs. Well-behaved leash walkers can also enjoy walks around our village upon request. A little about me: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and pet care is now part of my everyday life too. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, daycare and boarding, along with having experience volunteering with rescues. I'm comfortable with everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors who would rather spend the afternoon napping. I also have experience with fearful dogs, mild separation and storm anxiety, oral medications, supplements and insulin injections. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like part of our household while they're here. We play hard during the day, slow down together at night and keep the routines that help them feel at home. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.
“McKenzie was great. Very knowledgeable about behaviors in dogs and how to tackle them with love and building trust. She took care of accidents in the house and is an amazing communicator. And she’s just a great kid. I’m glad I found you McKenzie!”

About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time as a self employed hairstylist. With a flexible schedule I am able to take a break every day and hang out with my dog during the week. In the evenings I take Stella to a park nearby my house or we go on a walk around the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in yard. My current pup is kennel trained and it’s her safe space, if I work for a longer period than usual I have my own pet nanny or family checks in on my dog if I will be gone for too long. She is never along for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She eats in the morning and in the evening, I do not free feed. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl.
About: I currently have two dogs at home. One is a pitbull and the other is a corgi mix. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! Currently I only have a part time job that is only about 10 hours a week so I plenty of time to be with the animals! I love walking especially with a fur baby by my side to make the walk more enjoyable! I also enjoy being able to keep an animal company when need!
About: I'm the proud owner of two orange feline dictators and have extensive experience watching and caring for dogs and cats. I am allergic to birds however, so please let me know if there is a feathered friend in your home. I am currently working part-time and able to assist in helping care for your beloved pet! I am able to assist during the day and evening. I am unable to care for pets inside my personal home, but I am attentive and openly communicate with pet owners to ensure a smooth and safe process while caring for your pet in your home.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Van Buren stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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 sitter.
