“Daria has been amazing for our puppy! She communicates and makes sure she knows what you expect. She plays with our puppy and even sends us videos throughout her visit! Highly recommend.”
“Anastasiia has been great! After an accident, I could not walk my dog by myself- she was great about getting my dog out of the house & enjoying some exercise, even when my dog didn’t always want to leave my side. Anastasiia has been communicative and reliable. I appreciate her support and have already booked again”
“Simone does so well with my active blue heeler Australian Cattle Dog! He does really well with her and he gets a full 30 minute walk in. She is always on time and is easy to work with!”
“Kori is wonderful with my energetic lab! She interacts well with him, staying attentive and keeping him safe. She has been kind, dependable and great to work with. I highly recommend her (and so does my dog). 😀”
About: As someone who has grown up with cats and been a foster, I’ve had nursing cats, adult cats, and at risk kittens. I’m used to giving medications and dealing with cats with different temperaments. I work from home, so I’m generally flexible for visits. I’m off on weekends and free after 5, so can fit visits in whenever is needed. I do not offer boarding services in my home. I do have the service to drop into your home though as much as is needed.
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m an animal lover who genuinely believes pets are family. 🐾❤️ I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry babies with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet wants lots of cuddles and attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and love getting to know each one’s unique personality — including the shy, sassy, and slightly spoiled ones! 🐈⬛💕 I’m also very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, litter box care, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away. Your home and your pet will always be treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and help give them a happy, comfortable experience while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to build visits and pet care into my daily schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m very comfortable following established routines, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and other special instructions. I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to be dependable and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and any special treatments they may need. 🐾 I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care I would want someone to show my own home. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for. 💕
“Gabi is such a sweet human and took great care of our fur baby. She gave a thorough report and was great to communicate with. I will definitely keep her top of mind when we need day care in the future!”
About: My pet care experience! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up around a wildlife rehabilitation center, so caring for animals was something I was surrounded by from a young age. Our home was always full of pets! When I reached high school, I joined my school’s agriculture program and FFA (Future Farmers of America). Through FFA, I gained hands-on experience showing and caring for dairy goats, pigs, poultry, and rabbits. These experiences taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when they’re stressed, administer medications, and provide the individual care each animal needs. I’ve also worked at a grooming facility and currently work at a boarding facility, giving me even more experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable administering pills, ointments, cleanings, and other basic pet care as needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable! ❤️🐾 About me and my schedule! I’m currently a part-time student in the EMT program at HCC, working toward my goal of becoming a firefighter. —I’m in class Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 12:30 and again from 5:00 to 8:00. I also love my part-time job working with dogs, which has given me great experience in animal care. With my 2 prior commitments in mind, please reach out and specify times. If your pup needs extra attention and cannot be left alone for 4 hours or less please let me know!!! I’m fully committed to adapting to whatever routine makes you and your pup feel most comfortable, safe, and happy.💖 Building trust. 💖 As a pet parent myself, I completely understand any anxieties and worries you may have when you’re away from your pet. My goal is to make sure not only your pet is comfortable and happy but you are anxiety free. When I am dog sitting,walking or house sitting, photos are a must for me. I will send as many as I can. And I will keep you updated throughout the visit! I am willing to become accustomed to whatever is needed to make you comfortable and makes your dog tail wag! I am comfortable with administering some medication’s. At my own home we have a large yard with other animals, so I am also very understanding when it comes to outdoor safety.
“Jayden is on time and so sweet with my boy, Diego. I have been booking with Jayden several times a week during school semester and it has been incredibly helpful to have her walk him. She is incredibly responsive and I 10/10 recommend her!”
“Jessica is wonderful, so friendly and my pets love her. She’s very punctual and did everything I asked, highly recommend letting her love and take care of your pets while away.”
About: I have volunteered at pet shelters, boarded and babysat dogs, and have encountered all different types of behaviors. All of them need love and attention. I’m working part time remotely and have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am available everyday of the week to follow any schedule or routine that your pet might need. I can take pets on short or long walks, spend time with them, and adhere to any routine that your pet finds comfortable. I can keep you updated on your pets day as well.
About: I grew up with pets and have always loved caring for them. I enjoy giving each one attention, love, and care, treating every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m a responsible college student on break right now, so I have plenty of time each day to care for pets, play with them, and follow their routines. In my home, I have a friendly golden retriever who gets along with any dog and a cat who’s used to having other pets around. I have a big yard for play, though it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised. We also live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood, so pets get plenty of safe walks and outdoor adventures. I enjoy giving pets a part-time companion while making sure everyone has their own space and feels comfortable.
About: I’ve been pet sitting over 40 years. With over 19 years experience in the Vet tech field, I began pet sitting for extra income. From cats, birds, rabbits, turtles and numerous dog breeds. I absolutely love pet sitting, fostering relationships and meeting new pups and ppl. I’m relocating to the area and expanding my pet clientele. I’m on your schedule but more importantly I make your pets schedule the utmost priority. I have two beautiful dogs, one senior and the other quite rambunctious. We enjoy long walks, cuddles, bones and barking. Also sunbathing in our grassy fenced in yard on sunny Florida days.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and would be happy to help take care of yours! I am comfortable with small, medium, large, and extra large sized dogs of all ages and have experience walking and pet sitting all sizes. I am an active person and thoroughly enjoy walking/swimming with dogs as well! My family raises seeing eye dogs for the blind, and working with such wonderful animals is a passion of mine. I understand that leaving a family member at home while you’re away can be difficult for both you and your dog, so I hope to alleviate some of that stress for you. Please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home and have a fenced yard! I can take frequent potty breaks and/or walks, and have the flexibility to be attentive to your pets needs throughout the day. I have a friendly black lab who loves everyone to keep your fur baby company. I also have a pool if your pup likes to swim!

Simone has been absolutely wonderful from day one. She is incredibly responsive, communicative and completely reliable—but most importantly, it’s so clear how genuinely she cares for my dog. Knowing he is with someone so thoughtful, attentive and kind gives me tremendous peace of mind. I truly cannot say enough about how happy and grateful I am to have found someone I trust so completely with him. Simone is friendly, dependable and an incredibly caring person. We feel very lucky to have her! I absolutely recommend her!
Colton has been absolutely amazing with my two Frenchies, Vaan and Krypto! From day one, it was clear how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. He’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-exercised. Vaan and Krypto absolutely adore him, and I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. He’s attentive to their personalities and needs, and it really shows in how excited they get every time they see him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and fantastic with dogs, I can’t recommend Colton enough. Truly a 5-star experience every time!
Daria has been great! She came over to meet with our dog (who has stranger danger) before their first walk so she was comfortable the first time. We get adorable photos while on their walk and to ensure she is home safely. My husband and I know we can count on Daria on some of our longer work days and we are so grateful she takes such good care of our fur baby ❤️

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
