About: I’ve watched animals for family, friends, neighbors, and strangers for many years. I have a very flexible schedule due to being an Graduate student. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats, and I promise to take care of them like they’re my own! I am a full-time student, but my schedules allows for open mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can take up to a 1 hour walk each visit, and visit your home up to 3 times a day. I will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own. I am very responsible, compassionate, reliable, and I know exactly how to handle doggy situations if they ever arise!
About: With over a decade of pet care under my belt, I have experience in doggy daycare, pet boarding, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’ve personally owned dogs, cats and reptiles my whole life. Starting as a young teen, I cared for neighbors dogs and cats for up to three months at a time when they were away. In highschool, I worked at a doggy daycare and pet boarding center, gaining experience caring for a large number of animals with a variety of temperaments and needs. I administered medications such as pills and eye ointment, and cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition to dogs, I cared for cats, birds and small mammals. Throughout college, I walked dogs and did in-home pet sitting. My many experiences makes me very comfortable handling a wide variety of pets, from dogs with special needs to spicy cats and more. I am dedicated to giving families peace of mind that their furry friends are well cared for when they are away. I am available early mornings (5-7:30 am), during my lunch break, (11-1 pm) and in the evenings (after 5 pm) and I have open weekend availability. My job is flexible with what time I arrive and leave. Taking care of your home while you’re away is equally as important to me as caring for your pets. I will insure that your home is always in the same condition as you left, whether that means cleaning up bathroom accidents or keeping a tidy litter box. Additionally, with any client where I’m entering their home, I will always check for signs of suspicious activity such as broken windows or open doors. Keeping your fur baby safe means making sure your home is safe.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Vermillion 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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
