About: Hi! I’m Britt, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m an animal lover who truly enjoys caring for animals of all kinds, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I have professional experience working at Woodland West Pet Resort, where I became a Certified Kennel Technician. This experience taught me how to safely care for multiple animals, recognize their individual needs, maintain clean and comfortable environments, and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, including wildlife. Caring for so many different types of animals has given me a great appreciation for how unique every animal can be. Needless to say I’m up for anything! In addition to my kennel experience, I have experience providing drop-in pet sitting and dog walking, as well as caring for pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication routines when needed, and giving pets the companionship and attention they need while their owners are away. I also have hands-on dog bathing and nail-trimming experience and understand the importance of keeping pets clean, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pet needs a fun day of play, a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life and schedule. I am a mother of three boys, and my youngest is one. I am also a full-time caregiver to my autistic son when he is not in school. Because of this, I am already structured around being home and available when my family needs me. Providing pet care allows me to support other families while still being present for my children and maintaining a schedule that works around school hours and my caregiving responsibilities. It’s a meaningful way for me to do something I love while balancing my family’s needs. Whether your pet needs a fun day of play, a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Big or small, I can care for them all! I love animals of all species. Canines, felines, reptiles, avian’s, and exotics. I have a big backyard with plenty of room for playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I’ll always make sure they have fresh water, attention, and everything they need to feel comfortable. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routine and personality. We can enjoy open play and cuddle time with naps in between, or give them space if they prefer some quiet time. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home!
“Bryce was a great sitter for my cats while I was out of town for a convention. I got lots of pictures and they got lots of pets and attention. I would definitely recommend Bryce to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur babies.”
About: Providing a fun, playful, and routine space! 10+ years experience with medium to large size dogs. Ive always had a dog of my own. Right now I have a 10 month Bernadoodle. He is neutered and fully vax. He is very friendly and loves to play. My boyfriend has a handicap dog that he is very considerate of. He slows down around her and is super gentle. I have a big back yard and my house is beaide TU. So lots of safe walking and playing space. I would love to find a couple recurring dogs to play and walk with but I also wouldn't mind having a relaxing boarding space for your pup either! I work from home writing a magazine that I publish. I do that late at night once my dog is asleep. Other than that, I am ready to play and watch for babies all day long! I have a fence backyard and a very, very friendly pup. He is super energetic. We live right beside the TU campus. We have plenty of safe, walking space and a lot of yard space for doggies to run and play.
About: I have been pet/house sitting for about 4 years now, and I have lots of experience caring for my own little dog, Izzy. I also have 1 year of experience volunteering at my city's animal shelter. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I Absolutely love spending time with animals and am compassionate about giving them the love and attention they need. I am currently on summer break for nursing school and have a very open and flexible schedule! This ensures that I am able to provide adequate and timely care to your pets. Unfortunately, my home will not be available to house your pet because my dog Izzy does not get along with other dogs or cats. But I will be more than enthused to take care of your pet in your own home, which is the best option to make them the most comfortable.
About: I’ve always taken care of pets whether they were mine, or someone who needed a sitter for the weekend! Pets are our babies as well! I’m currently between jobs, and have more than enough time in my life right now, and would love to take care of your fur babies! We have 5 acres for them to play on! I have two of my own dogs, who are little social butterflies. They would gladly take on some new friends!

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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
