About: I have experience with puppies and older dogs. I understand the energy level of a puppy and also the medical needs of an older dogs such as diabetes and having to administer shots. I am retiring soon and would love to use my time to care for your pet. I had a dog walker for my Gracie and know first-hand the value it brings. I follow the owner's desires for their pet and follow stated directions. The pet owner knows what is best for their pet. I am available for a drop-in or walking a dog.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, both are doodle mixes and one is a smaller dog and the other is a big dog so they have helped me learn how to care for dogs. Throughout my life as a teenager I’ve been tasked with basic dog watching duties here and there with a range of breeds, mostly doodle mixes with small and big dogs. Over this past year I’ve had more frequent dog watching jobs, mainly just check in visits with dogs while the owner is out of town or just busy in general. Recently, I had my biggest task which was watching 7 dogs for a week straight while staying overnight. With this task I had to provide medication for some of the dogs, feed every dog, take them outside frequently, and just basic caring duties for every dog. The sizes of dogs I had to watch were from very small to very big dogs. The breeds of dogs there were two Pitbulls, a French bulldog, two small doodle mixes, and two small Shih Tzus. Currently I’m a Sophomore at Bowling Green State University studying Accounting and I’ll also have a part-time job while I’m in school. So I should have plenty of time to care for dogs. Starting August 25th on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’ll be available anytime after 3:00 pm, and for Mondays and Wednesday’s anytime after 4:00pm works for me. For Fridays between 4-9 pm I’m available. Finally for Saturdays and Sundays anytime before 9:00 pm I am available to care. My dogs at home are very friendly and easy to care for. I help with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing. For any client I’ll be able to provide those services as well, and also other things such as providing medicine for any clients pets.
About: Friday-Monday I am home all day, Tuesday-Thursday I am in an office with the ability to come home during lunch. I have always loved having dogs of my own, but right now I do not have one. You and your dogs will be happy to know that I love long walks and snuggles on the couch. I also understand if there are certain rules/behavior expectations set by you the owner, that I will follow them implicitly since consistency is needed to have a well-behaved dog. I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. I am available most days and am flexible to help accommodate your schedule. The experience I have in pet care has come from being a previous pet owner, but what comes with that is a true understanding how precious your dog is and that you are trusting me with that huge responsibility. I work from home Friday-Monday, and Tuesday-Thursday I work in an office close enough that I can stop in for lunch for a quick game of fetch in the yard. I have a fenced in yard and I also have space in my home if your dog requires to be crated. I also live close to a park for extra long walks if needed.

“Chase and Rocky absolutely had a blast! Both dogs enjoyed all the play and cuddles. On time every time and provided so many lovely photos. Made things stress free for us being away knowing that they were being taken care of well!”
“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”
“Chloe did an amazing job while I was out of town for work. Quick and easy communication put me at ease and the pupdate photos showed both of our docs enjoyed Chloe and we're well cared for. Will definitely work with Chloe in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterville
Nancy is the only person I trust to take care of my old man puppy boy while we are away. Nancy genuinely cares about our animals and goes above and beyond every time we book her. She is very communicative and flexible. Last January, we were out of town in the middle of a snow storm and Nancy made sure our dog was still taken care of even though it was difficult for her to even get to our house. She even communicated with our neighbors so that our dog would be taken care of even if she couldn't make it there in the bad weather. During this trip, we had very little cell phone service, but I wasn't worried about our animals at all, because I knew Nancy had everything covered. If you are looking for a trustworthy person who genuinely cares about your animals, Nancy is your person.
Taylor is AMAZING! She sat my two large pups for 4 days, was very sweet to them, attentive, and showered them with affection while I was away. I LOVED the pictures sent by Taylor during each drop-in and the detailed notes she made on how my pups were doing. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Taylor. Your pets will be in excellent, caring hands!

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 .

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.
