About: Ever since a kid, I’ve loved interacting with animals. Though I don’t have professional experience caring for them, I’ve owned a dog and have helped take care of pets for my friends and family; that includes sitting, walking and grooming. I am currently enrolled in school and attend Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9am-2pm. I am available outside of those times unless I have any other commitments or obligations that arise. Whatever special instructions you have for me to provide your pet the utmost care, I can comply without a problem. Since I can’t host, I will respect your home, your furry friend, and your trust.
“Alexandra is an absolute life saver. My ferret sitter canceled while we were on the road to out trip away. I was panicking because I had this trip booked weeks in advance. She stepped up and helped me out right away. She has been a Godsend . Has loved on my furbabies and my kitty. I cannot say enough thank yous and HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! Thank you Alexandra will be asking you again on our next trips if you are available!!”
“Theresa is an absolute ROCKSTAR. I couldn’t get my pup outside to go potty before I had to rush to work so I was worried she would be cooped up all day. Theresa responded to my request within less than a minute, and was at my house walking my dog in less than an hour. Keep in mind, my dog is a very nervous rescue, so it can be tricky to get her harness on but Theresa is so gentle and understanding with her. She took my pup for a walk and got her to go potty and stretch her legs so now I don’t have to spend all day worried about my pup. I cannot recommend Theresa enough!!! She is the BEST!!!”
About: 🐾 Hi there! I’m so excited to meet your furry family member! ❤️ As a lifelong animal lover, I know that every pet deserves love, patience, and lots of attention. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with a new friend, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱 ✨ Here’s what you can expect when you book with me: 🐾 Plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime 🚶 Fun, safe walks at your dog’s pace 💧 Fresh water and feeding exactly as instructed 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you never miss a moment 💬 Quick communication and reliable care ❤️ Lots of patience and personalized attention for every pet I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your best friend. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they receive the love, comfort, and attention they deserve. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease from the moment we meet. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing companion! Let’s make their time with me fun, safe, and full of tail wags! 🐾✨ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m consistent, responsible,🐾 and used to working around animals’ needs. With dog care specifically, I plan my day around their schedule—morning walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and making sure they start the day active and comfortable. I make time during the day to check on them, give water, and provide attention or short play sessions so they stay calm and don’t get bored. In the evening, I keep a structured routine with feeding, another walk, and a final bathroom break before bedtime. I also use that time for basic care like cleaning up after them and making sure they’re safe and settled for the night. Weekly, I stay on top of things like cleaning food and water bowls, picking up waste consistently, and making sure the dog stays healthy, active, and well cared for. I’m reliable with routines, so I can keep a dog’s schedule stable, which helps them feel secure and well behaved. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, trust, and respecting the environment they are in. In a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so the dog stays in a familiar routine and feels comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times to prevent escapes, and I supervise dogs during walks, feeding, and playtime. I keep the environment clean by picking up after the dog immediately, making sure food and water bowls are clean, and preventing anything unsafe from being left within reach. I also pay attention to the dog’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if they need extra care or attention. Most importantly, I treat the client’s home with respect—keeping things organized, locking up properly, and making sure everything is left as it was or cleaner. I aim to build trust by being reliable, responsible, and consistent so both the pet and owner feel safe and comfortable with me.🐶
“Samuel was absolutely fantastic. His calm and confident demeanor had my pets gravitating to him. He was prompt, courteous and communicated with me every day with photos etc. I highly recommend his services. Well done 💪🏻👊”
About: I have grown up in a household with 4 dogs and 3 cats, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes as and ages. I am currently an online college student, so I have a very flexible schedule that will make it easy for me to accommodate to your needs. I am easily able to follow any specific instructions that are given, in order to prioritize and ensure the safety and environment of your pet!
“Crystal was absolutely amazing, as always. I hate leaving my girl, but I love knowing she’s in great hands. She has a hard time warming up to people and every photo was kisses and snuggles ❤️❤️ Not only was PK well taken care of, but so was my place. After coming home from a 9 day vacation, I felt like I was coming home to a fresh place and my solar powered tv remote was sitting in the sun getting charged. Highly recommend 💕💕💕”
About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and if your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and getting to care for them honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. Every pet has their own little personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or would rather spend the day snuggled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to make your pet feel as safe, loved, and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow every instruction carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I send lots of photo updates and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I want you to feel like you’re right there with them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have a clean and cozy environment, and treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I hope to become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter!! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Since I’m home often, I’m also able to provide companionship and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods of time while their owners are away! Safety starts with understanding each pet as an individual. Before caring for a new pet, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and any important details from their owner. Knowing what is normal for each pet helps me provide better care and recognize when something may be different. In my home, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and enrichment while still making sure each pet’s safety comes first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep their routine consistent, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe good pet care is about being attentive, patient, and proactive. I pay attention to changes in behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated so they always feel connected and informed!

Debbie came by every day to feed my cat, Juno, while I was on vacation! She was great and timely and always took pictures so I could see that Juno was well taken care of. She left the litter box clean and the area picked up so that I didn’t have to worry about that when I got home. Thank you, Debbie!
A friend recommended Steve to me and I’m so grateful. He was great with my two cats and made everything really easy. He was dependable and professional. He was also easy to communicate with and kept me updated. I felt comfortable knowing my sassy cats were in good hands. I’d definitely book with Steve again!
I have already left a review for Crystal. Fawn-z likes her. He seems to respond to Crystal favorably. He appears to be happy once we get home. Our house is neat and clean; the same way we left it is how it looks when we get back home. Crystal is trustworthy. She loves and respects animals. You can't ask for better than that from a pet sitter. We are thrilled that we found Crystal and that Fawn-z feels comfortable with her. He's the judge and he definitely gives her a well-deserved 5-star rating.
Kristen did such a wonderful job with my cat, Smokey! She always made sure his food was topped up and had a clean litter box and fresh water. Great communication. She also gave him lots of love and playtime like she was her own pet. Would definitely hire her again!
I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough. She has been incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with my dog. Her professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I always know my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands.
Amanda was AMAZING with our cat! She was our savior last minute! She provided us with great photos, report card and communicated efficiently! She takes care of pets like they are her own! We felt at ease and never once had a doubt or drop of anxiety that lot of pet parents feel! Thank you Amanda!

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.

- 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.
