About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and recently, ferrets—which I’ve been having so much fun learning about! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for them. I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and more complex daily routines, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.
“Ted was absolutely awesome! We always feel so comfortable leaving Waylon at home when we are out of town because we know Ted has him in the best of care! He is super responsive and always sends pictures each day of the adventures that they had. We are so thankful to have him!”

“Grace did a great job looking after scarlett while I was out of town for the day she did everything perfect and what I asked of her to do scarlett got alot of play time and was very happy with grace. Grace also sent me pictures and updates of scarlett through the day. Over all I'm pleased with grace's performance”

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life I’d love the opportunity to meet your and your pets needs and provide a safe, fun home for them I am semi retired and work part time My schedule is flexible most days to provide you and your pet friendly reliable service as needed I have a fenced yard and one older dog who loves other animals! Whether at my home or yours, I will make sure you pet receives love and attention

“Brittany was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. She stuck to my dogs schedule for outside and dinner time routine and made sure he was as getting enough loves and treats! Definitely book with her if you’re looking for someone who is willing to go above and beyond! Will be using her for future trips.”

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
“It was a pleasure to work with Christine. This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous.. Christine made the process easy and comfortable. Typically I bring Apollo with me where ever I go but let’s face it, that can be a lot of extra work. I needed to leave out of town unexpectedly and it was so nice to know Apollo was home in his own environment. Extra huge perk coming home to my house looking clean! Thanks Christine!”

About: Hello! I’m Kimberley… I have an English cream golden retriever and a cat… I’ve had animals my whole life and now that I’m an empty nester I have the time to help you! I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I have flexibility in my day and can work around your needs. I’m happy to stay at your home if it’s easier while you travel, pop by in the day and let your furry family member out to use the bathroom, and just spend some time giving them attention. I’m happy to come to you as it’s usually easier for your pet to stay in their home… Or I’m happy to bring them to my house! My dog is a golden retriever, so he’s very friendly and very loving! My cat has been around dogs, his whole life and he is very comfortable with them.

“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. Currently, my husband and I have three cats and two pittie mix dogs. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes and happy to give medicine as needed. At home I’m the nail trimmer, bath giver, treat smuggler, and all around favorite human! Or at least I like to think so! I’m currently looking for my next career move so I have more open availability than most. I do have five animals of my own, so their schedule is taken into consideration when I am accepting jobs on here. While I’m at your home, I’ll follow your instructions for care to the T! I’m very particular with my own animals, so I will be just as careful with yours. I’m aware of how sneaky some pets can be with doors and I have become a ninja getting in and out of my own home as to not let a critter slip out into the garage or out into the yard.
“Correy has an instant rapport with dogs. Within minutes Chester was sitting by his feet. He followed all instructions to the t and followed up with us to ensure that we were able to arrive at home as expected. I highly recommend him, and we will use his services again.”

About: Hello! I have a love for animals and have had such a blast taking care of my family, friends, and client's pets over the years. I am new to Rover and I am looking forward to meeting new clients. I have cared for a variety of animals over the years including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc. No matter the critter, my standard remains the same: I treat your pet like my own! I'm very flexible and cater to every pet's individual needs. I enjoy the outdoors and taking pets with me to the dog park and/or trails right up the road. Message me today so we can set up a meet and greet! My schedule is currently flexible throughout the week so I am happy to cater to your scheduling needs! Please feel free to call or text me at anytime. My goal for at-home care of your pet is to keep them as happy and close to routine as possible! I am also happy to do any light cleaning or plant care as needed per home.
About: This summer, I spent significant time volunteering at the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter in Gray, Louisiana, logging over 50 hours to ease the load of staff while giving rescues the best possible quality of life. I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From taking high-energy dogs long walks and runs to managing bath times and following strict sanitation protocols, I treated every pet with shelter-grade care. A highlight of my time there was leading “Doggy Day Outs,” taking adoptable dogs on community adventures. In these new environments, I paid close attention to their reactions to learn their unique likes, dislikes, and personality traits. Reading their canine body language allowed me to adapt to their needs on the fly, keeping them safe and comfortable wherever we went. Crucially, working with shelter dogs also gave me deep experience with high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and abused or frightened rescues who require gentle handling and trust-building. Although relocation meant stepping away from shelter work, I bring those same high standards of safety, patience, and individual attention to every pet I visit. I’m currently working nights as a PRN Mental Health Technician. I make my own schedule, so my availability is flexible nearly every day of the week! In-home care is built on safety, consistency, and mutual trust. My top priorities are maintaining your pet’s familiar routine, securing the environment, and treating your home with total respect. I make sure pets are never left alone for long stretches, giving them the frequent companionship, potty breaks, and attention they need. Upon arrival, I secure all doors and gates, greet the pet calmly, and follow your explicit instructions for feeding, exercise, and meds. I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, offering patient interaction for shy animals and active engagement for high energy ones. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit.
“Elise watched our pack this weekend and did such a great job! Leading up to the weekend Elise was very proactive in getting information on them and asking important questions. We were kept up to date on a regular basis with pics!! This made for a stress free weekend and allowing us to enjoy the wedding out of town! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving extra love and attention, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for! I am an NGU student at the moment but I have late starts to my classes and I am done by 1pm every day, except Wednesday I have a late lab until 5:20. I’m free anytime after that. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wellford
Jennifer is fantastic! She took wonderful care of our mini dachshund and even changed the water for our bird. She was an in-home sitter for us for 9 days and was the perfect companion and guest. She even brought in the mail for us. Jennifer isn’t just responsible and professional, but she’s sweet and has a great sense of humor. I very highly recommend her!!!

We are very pleased with Audra's services while pet/house sitting our 2 cats, Cry Baby and Rachel. She was very responsive to all texts from this anxious kitty Mama. She was patient with me during my many check ins and provided me with unprompted updates and pictures. This was the first time for us to leave the cats since we have had them and was not sure how they would be with a stranger. Audra did make 2 visits to our home before we left to get to know us, the cats, our house, and routines for the cats. The house was as clean and tidy on our return as it was when we left. We will definitely use Audra again!

Rachel and Triston were amazing. They took excellent care of our fur babies and even went above and beyond by bringing in the mail and feeding the wild birds! Also, The house was immaculate when we returned. I would not hesitate to hire them again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wellford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wellford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wellford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
