About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up with a dog, and later having both my sisters adopt cats. Pets were my first best friends. They taught me love, responsibility, and how much joy animals bring into a home. Now that I’m taking a break from school, I’m leaning into something that’s always come naturally to me: caring for animals. I also have my EMT certification, which helps me stay calm, attentive, and safety‑minded while looking after pups. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood is genuinely one of my favorite things in the world. I’m free during the week and occasionally on weekends. Feel free to message me anytime. Things change often, so don’t hesitate to reach out. My schedule is easy to move around, and I’m usually able to make things work with a little heads up. I respond quickly too, so you won’t be waiting long to hear back from me. I’m always happy to help and make things as smooth and easy as possible. Right now I’m focusing on dog walking and stop‑ins since I’m getting started again on the app. I used it for about a month before taking a long break, and now I’m back and excited to build things up. I’ve always loved working with pups, so easing in with walks and quick visits feels like the perfect way to start. Eventually I’ll be offering doggy day care too, but for now I’m all about great walks, reliable check‑ins, and making sure your dog feels cared for every time I show up. If you ever want to talk through what you need, I’m always happy to chat.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs, from energetic and playful to shy, senior, or more independent pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those who may need extra attention, routine, or patience. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, which has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach to pet care. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I primarily provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely.

About: I’ve been trusted with dogs since I was 13. I’ll walk, bathe, feed, play with, or whatever fulfills your needs. I’ll be your furry friend’s, human friend! Please read! I attended The County College of Morris every weekday besides Friday as well as working at ShopRite there is lex flexibility during the week.

I personally don’t have a pet of my own only my dad’s girlfriend, which is why I value taking care of friends, family, or other pets in need of help. I make sure the dogs stay comfortable by following their usual routine. I follow directions which let’s me provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, give them plenty of attention and playtime, so they feel safe while their owners are away.

About: I’m a reliable and caring college student who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’ve had my two cats for the past two years, so I’m used to feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable every day. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company while they were away. Outside of pet care, I’ve worked as a private caregiver and in customer service, which has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and dependable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a loved one, whether it’s a person or a pet, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student and work part time so I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available on many weekdays and weekends and will always make time to give your pet the attention, exercise and care they deserve. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is in good hands. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to stick to it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past two years and have also helped friends care for their dogs through feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. My experience as a private caregiver has taught me to be patient, dependable, respectful of other people’s homes, and attentive to small details, so you can feel confident that your pet will be treated like one of my own.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have always considered them part of the family. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I understand the love, patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat mine—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾❤️ I currently work full time so I am available after 6pm weekdays, and most of the day on weekends to play and care for you fur babies. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines and the instructions provided by their owners. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of every home and treat it with the same care I would want for my own. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my homes and have had additional experience with birds, fish, chickens, hamsters, mice, snakes, geckos, bunnies, and others over my last 30 years. Though it hasn’t been my full time profession in years, I spent many years managing a boarding facility alongside an animal hospital, which remains to this day my absolute favorite job. I find no greater joy than helping ease the anxiety that the animal babies feel when they are away from the comfort of their own homes. I have successfully trained a number of puppies including large “bully breeds” and I especially enjoy helping rescues find comfort in new homes after questionable upbringings. Above all, my heart pours love and gratitude into animal babies because I believe they deserve the same unconditional love that they give to us humans. I work part time and make my own schedule. I am incredibly flexible and am used to a swing schedule where I can get up early or stay up late in order to accommodate the needs of my clients. I have a multiple acre wooded property. Though it is not entirely fenced in I am skilled at leash walking/training and my property backs up to miles of trails that are part of a wildlife refuge. I currently have a one year old female Beagle/Belgian Malinois mix who is crate trained but also does stay at home alone freely at this age with no incidents. She is incredible with other dogs and people, overall very sweet and friendly. I am willing to crate your pup if that is what you prefer, but am also ok with a free roaming pup. I work only on a free-lance basis and do all of my work based around my pet sitting, drop in, and walking schedule. So your animals are my number one priority! I have added a fence on my wooded property to accommodate pups that need some freedom from a leash to do their ‘business’ 😆 and of course my sweet, friendly, playful pup Rainy is always ready to wrestle, chase, or cuddle her new friends!

About: We have been dog sitting for the last 5 years for our closest friends and family and now want to open our home to your dog. We recently relocated and have a completely fenced in yard and are located at the top of a quiet cul de sac. We aim to make your special pet our beloved fur baby for the time you need to be away. We have two children who are 15 and 12 and love all animals and want to give you complete peace of mind that your dog will be the king/queen of our castle while you are away! I work from home most days. When I do have to report to my office, I am never out for more than 2-3 hours and my office is only 5 minutes away. We ensure that your dogs will get plenty of run time in the back yard or great walks in our quiet neighborhood. We know how special your pups are to you and we love to provide doggy updates or even special face times with our pet owners. We have a completely fenced back yard and our grass is not treated with any chemicals or pesticides. Inside our home, we allow your dog to be as comfortable as possible and treat them like they are our family pet for the time they are with us. There are no other pets inside our home aside from a bearded dragon in an enclosed tank and we want to ensure you have access to your pet via text or face time while you are away!

Mylene is an amazing sitter! She recently watched our babies while we were away for a mini trip, and we couldn't be happier. From the moment we met her for the meet-and-greet, we knew she was the best choice, and she didn't disappoint. Mylene is super communicative—we received perfectly timed walk updates every morning and evening. She is incredibly reliable and prompt with her replies, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking her services again.

As of October 2026, there are 14,079 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wharton. 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.

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 Wharton 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.

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.

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.
