“Kaleena is an amazing sitter and we are so blessed to have found her. My dog can be quite a challenge and requires a lot of extra time and patience to warm up to strangers. Kaleena completely understood his boundaries, never rushed him, and used so much love and patience to earn his trust. By the end, they became friends. It means the world to find someone who treats my Toby with love and patience. Thank you for winning his heart!”
About: I work remote so am home full time. Over 20 yrs pet experience from puppies to seniors to special needs. Fenced in yard. Lots of play time and attention. I have two boys that are very active with the pups and getting more involved with managing the app/updates. We have a 3 year old mixed lab who plays well with other dogs. (She is fixed and fully vaccinated, and she will get serious zoomies at every single meet and greet and every single drop off.) I only board one dog at a time typically, but will make exceptions very occasionally. We will send daily updates/pics the first few days of boarding, then every other day after that unless there is an issue/concern. I do have an extra crate (if they night crate) and plenty of dog bowls so you you don’t need to haul any of that. I do provide some treats and chewies so please let me know if there is anything they cannot have. Meal time will always be done separately with both dogs just in case there’s underlying food aggression. We are a little boujie, and my dog gets purified water so that is what I will give your pups as well. I work fully remote so will be home most of the time. Please message me what their daily routine consists of so I can try to keep it consistent. If they crate at night, etc., Please bring any items that you think will make them more comfortable. I have one dog who is very friendly and plays very well with other dogs. Additionally, I have 2 boys whom both absolutely love dogs. We would love to take care of your fur baby.
“My very first encounter on the app and with the sitter! I was so nervous but Michele made me and Gojo (or mainly me) feel comfortable while being separated for our first time.!”
About: I’m so grateful to have always been surrounded by furry family members as my household has never been without the wonderful presence of dogs, cats, or even various rodents/reptiles/birds throughout the years 😂 So, while 20+ years of personal experience may technically be accurate, I’d say that a majority of my experience was gained within the past 8 years: learning and experiencing responsibility, hardship, and companionship through my own kitties and doggos, volunteering at cat shelters, and overnight dog sitting for family members with variously aged pets. Through these opportunities, I was able to gain experience with a wide range of pets from energetic puppies that love to chew and play all day to senior dogs that may need meds given or diapers changed and shy/scared kitties that need lots of patience and kindness to playful cats that want constant attention and affection :) I'm excited to become part of your pets' lives whether that consists of play time and pets during a check-in or cuddles on the couch while I keep them company overnight! I would love to become your pet’s new best friend! I work part time at a couple of jobs, but that won’t stop me from doing whatever I can to fit you and your fur baby’s into my schedule ☺️✨ I have experience with many types of dogs and cats through growing up surrounded by them, getting to meet many others in cat shelters while volunteering, and family members' homes during overnight dog sitting. As a result, I am very used to cleaning litter boxes or various pet messes, sticking to feeding, med, or bed time routines and schedules, and dealing with pets that may not always be on their best behavior or are nervous meeting a stranger. Other than that, I am quick to reply and can give you frequent updates with pictures on the well-being of your loved ones!
About: I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother of four, and I have one dog (yellow lab mix) and two cats! I love animals and since we are home majority of the time, your pet will have ample love, attention, and care. MY entire downstairs is tile and we have a backyard, so puppies still needing house training would be acceptable. I'm happy to walk/run with dogs, care for cats, come to your home to do check ins, whatever you're looking for, just ask! I have taken care of animals for family, and I appreciate any details or notes you have so I can provide the very best quality of care for your individual pet. I am home majority of the day with my kids. I have young kids ages 5-11 and I homeschool, so we are home most of the time. I take our dog on a walk or run in the morning around 7am or earlier, and again in the evening if the weather is nice. I have plenty of time for loving and caring for your pet! I offer care in our home, or in yours depending on your needs. Your pet will be exercised, fed, watered, loved, played with, cleaned up after, and all around cared for and adored. I can only provide care to animals who are okay with children and other pets, to keep everyone safe from natural pet instincts to protect themselves. My children have been taught to use only gentle and loving hands with slow approach with adult supervision. In the event we need to leave the house I do require kenneling for dogs if they are known to chew/scratch. I am happy to provide pictures and updates, so that you can rest assured your pet is happy and thriving while you are away.
“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“Claudia has been the best! She has looked over our pups a few times now and its been wonderful. Our new puppy Enzo is very scared of people and Claudia kept trying to help him not be afraid. From when he met her until the last visit he has improved so much! Thank you :)”

“2 dogs and 3 cats. Pleasant from the 1st meet & greet. Loved the photos daily. Good communication and on time for visits. It’s hard to find someone to trust, so look not further. This can be your person too. Thank you!!”
“Daizy is great! Everything you’d want in a host - responsive, communicative, flexible, and a genuine animal lover. She sent us plenty of pictures, and when we came home I could tell my boys had been well taken care of. We have been booking with Daizy since we moved to the area and will continue to do so. I recommend her to others in the Goodyear area!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waddell
As usual, Beth took amazing care of our medically high maintenance kitties! We have a diabetic boy cat who gets 2 shots a day and a girl cat that has thyroid disease and is very finicky about taking her meds but Beth makes sure they get everything they need when we are out of town. ♥️
Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for my senior dog Daisy. Not only did she treat my very defensive and scared chihuahua with so much care and kindness she also provided updates to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone who needs assistance with their fur babies!!
Bella has been watching my puppy twice a day since he was 8 weeks old for 2 months now. She has always been on time, shown great care, and has done a phenomenal job taking care of my dog while I’ve been at work. She has been extremely trustworthy, responsive, and always sends pictures with every visit. She’s an excellent sitter who I’d recommend to anyone.
Chuck was great at taking care of our cat Trina. She is a challenge because her past life causes her to avoid strangers. Chuck understands all that. We appreciate how neat and clean he kept everything and his photos and reports of his visits. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was taking good care of her so we could finally take a trip that was long overdue.
Our "cat whisperer"!! Our cats love her and wait at the door for her. She has an excellent way for calming them down and showing them love. Our calico, Carly, is very shy, but she approaches Amber from the first meeting. We highly recommend her and have used her services many times. Thank you again Amber!!
Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
