“Chris took such good care of my fur baby! She made sure to send me updates with photos, give him plenty of treats and pets, and even brought him some extra treats and toys! She was an awesome caretaker and I will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Jessica dropped in to check on our pups at the times we requested and sent us photos of our pups so we knew they were taken care of and had some playtime. She was communicative and followed all instructions. We’ll use her again for sure!”
About: Hi! I'm 19 years old, and I've never known life without pets. Because of that, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friends behind when you're away. I've cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life, cats, dogs, exotic pets, etc. I think what makes my care unique is my personal love of each pet. No matter their breed, size, or personality, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work part-time as I’m currently an online college student so plenty of time will be devoted to your pets! I am flexible when it comes to relocating to fit your pet’s needs! I live in an apartment with a spacious area to walk around outside and a dog park! I have one senior cat I rescued that sleeps all day in his cat tree. I’m well adjusted to all personalities of pets, the crazy ones, and the lazy ones!
“Anna was fantastic. She came to watch my dog and cat while I was away for 4 days. She was amazing with sending detailed visit cards and sending tons of pics of my boys! Definitely want to hire her again!”
About: I've been a dog person my entire life and have hands-on experience with just about every size, age and personality. I've shared my life with an Old English Sheepdog, Wolfhound/Lab mix, Eurasier and Pit/Staffy mix, and I've cared for everything from champion show Miniature Schnauzers and Labs to Huskies, Malamutes and lovable mixed breeds. I'm comfortable with puppies as young as 7 weeks, seniors, giant breeds and strong pullers. I can reinforce leash manners and basic training, work on tricks and enrichment, and adapt walks and visits to what your individual dog needs. I also have firsthand experience with reactivity and work with my own reactive dog every day. I understand body language, managing triggers, creating appropriate space and following the training and routines you already use with your dog. I've used Rover as a pet parent myself, too, so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. You can expect me to follow your instructions, communicate reliably and send plenty of updates so you know your pup is safe, happy and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including daytime hours. I’m also open to recurring weekly care for pets who benefit from having a familiar face and consistent routine. I’ll keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your care instructions and routines closely and take the time to learn your pet’s personality, body language and boundaries. On walks, I’m attentive to our surroundings and other dogs, and I’m comfortable managing strong pullers and dogs who need extra space from triggers. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after every visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing.
“Alissa really helped me with Chumley! He absolutely loves her, and they bonded very quickly. I have no reservations about hiring Alissa again should the need arise. Thank you, Alissa!”
About: I love hiking and animals, so rover is perfect for my situation. I’ve grown up with dogs and various other animals my whole life and I currently own a cat and a dog with my husband. I have over 50+ hours of volunteer work at the humane society and have a certification for basic obedience in dog training. Your pets needs are my top priority and their well being is in my best interest. I’d love to work with any dog breeds cats, and am open to other species. I’m easy going and responsible with availability on additional requests for your pet(s). I have a pretty flexible schedule and I’m very attentive and will make time to make sure your pet is happy and its needs are fulfilled! I love animals and I will do my best to keep your animal safe and cared for. Safety and comfort for your pet are always my number one priority. Right now I’m working part time so I have more flexibility than on my profile and am willing to discuss any additional requests or times. When caring for pets in my client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I know pets are happiest when they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well being, making sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Alex was great and professional! On time and took our pups on a walk and made sure to send pics and check in before leaving in case there was anything we needed before he left. Thank you Alex!”
“Jennifer did I wonderful job! We felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She kept in touch with us while we were away and even did a little extra when the temperatures plummeted unexpectedly. If we weren't moving from her area, we would most certainly use her again.”
About: I have been around dogs for over 20 years. I can connect with them in ways others cannot. I have never had an issue with a dog and people often tell me that dogs love me. I am currently looking to take on as much as I can! I am a runner so if your dog likes going on runs I can take them with me or if they like the slower pace of walking I can do that too. I’m a grad student so when I’m not in class I’m at home My roommate has a dog that stays in his kennel most of the day besides when he is let out and if there is another dog in the house that I am watching over they stay with me in my room and typically never leave my side
About: I have had pets for over 16 years, I currently own 4 cats, 1 dog and lots of reptiles! I am very experienced in day to day care. I work part time so my days are pretty open, my evenings may be booked up but I can change plans around to accommodate your pets needs. I am very patient and love each animal I meet. I can closely follow any directions you give to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of.
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life and take great pride in making sure they are well taken care of. I’ve often been told that my animals are spoiled, but I like knowing they are happy and safe. I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family many times, and treat them as if they are my own. I’m currently working part time in the morning/early afternoons so I am available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends for walking and caring for your pets, I let my personal pets in my house, and like to play with them outside when possible. I am willing to crate your pets if needed, and will play with your pets to let them burn off energy.
“We loved working with Dee! Dee watched our senior kitty on short notice, was super communicative and made us feel right at ease while we were away! We are so grateful and look forward to working together again. Thanks so much, Dee!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid and we had dogs of our own at home (even three at one time!) and have also taken care of cats many times over the years for friends and family. Walk, feed, play, lovins (of course) - you name it! I'm the type who goes out of my way to ask to pet a dog anywhere I go. I'd be delighted to care for your pet! I work from home self-employed, so my weekly schedule is quite flexible most of the time. For dog walking,mid-day to evening is usually the best time. If I am caring for a pet in my home, I'm sure to get them outside often as I do not have a yard. But I'm also willing to care for your pets in your own home!
“Amy has been so great with our dog - he loves her! Amy has always communicated clearly with me regarding scheduling and how our dog was doing. She has always been more than willing to pick up last-minute check-ins for our dog when my schedule changed. I knew I could rely on her in a pinch. I would highly recommend her to those on Rover looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Matthew was incredibly attentive to all of our critters needs and even took our pup for a little extra long walk. He is very pleasant and communicative which was so helpful for our last minute booking. I would recommend him without hesitation!”
“My shy 16wk old pup warmed right up to Michelle on her first drop in visit. She did a fantastic job and gave a thorough report after. Michelle was very cognizant of the little details and instructions I gave, and offered to go above and beyond that. You can tell Michelle loves what she does and I know that makes all the difference for my puppy’s enjoyment of the visit too 🥰 we’ll definitely be booking with Michelle again”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Welty
Robin was the best; she showed Axel so much attention when she would come over. She played with him every time. He was very excited to see her when she came over. I will be using Robin again for future trips we have planned. I do not worry when I leave Axel in her hands; I get very nervous leaving him, and she did a wonderful job making me feel at ease about everything.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,865 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Welty. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 with handling special pet needs in Welty. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
