About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up for cuddles and belly rubs. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, crate routines, and other care instructions you provide. I also understand that puppies may need extra patience, consistency, frequent potty breaks, and lots of positive attention, while senior pets may need a slower pace, extra comfort, and a little more TLC. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give your pet plenty of love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly cares. 🐾❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. Since my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional workday, I can be flexible with early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and weekends. Your pet won’t just be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be an important part of my day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. I’ll carefully follow feeding, walking, potty, crate, and medication instructions provided by you, and I’ll never force interaction with a pet who needs extra time or space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of your space and privacy. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱
“Jenny did a great job with our cats Maki and Levi. She fed them, cleaned their litter and played with them during her visit. Maki is relatively shy around strangers but seemed to open up to Jenny after only her second visit. We will definitely plan to rebook with her!”

I'm available on the weekends and weekdays. I have a multiz male dog who is very friendly and playful. He is used to being around other dogs and loves to go to the dog park to play with them.
“Marley just continues to astound me with . . . I don't even want to call it service, that makes what she does sound so little. She genuinely cares about my pet, and takes such an obviously heartfelt approach to pet care and is always such a joy to work with.

I work until 5 during the week but some days i work from home and would be able to step out during those times. my weekends are open! my dog is a rescue so I have a lot of experience with anxious animals.

Having lived with dogs and cats my entire life, I am highly experienced and capable of managing their care.

Charlotte was great! So dependable and easy going letting out our precious Pomeranian who is anything but easy going. Charlotte persisted to earn her trust and slowly Poppy warmed up. We will absolutely use Charlotte again. We feel very lucky to have come across her wonderful Pet Sitting Services.
I can’t say enough good things about Dimitri! Pepsi absolutely loves him and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in his care. He’s reliable, genuinely loves dogs, and always follows her routine and care instructions. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring for their dog!
I can’t recommend her enough! As a first-time dog sitter user, I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She’s kind, caring, and trustworthy. Benny is a huge fan too, which says it all! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter.

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.
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 Westport 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
