About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.
About: Growing up with and caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when it comes to pets. I’m very attentive to a dog’s behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I also have experience with basic grooming, keeping routines consistent, and giving pets calm, gentle care based on their individual needs and personality. I'm currently looking fo a Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I’m someone who enjoys staying active, organized, and consistent. While I’m currently looking for a part-time summer job, pet sitting and care is something that also works well with my schedule long-term because it gives me flexibility once I start school again. I’m able to balance responsibilities well, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my routine rather than seeing it as just work. job for the summer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks if needed, and a clean environment. I’m very attentive to a pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving atmosphere while respecting the owner’s instructions and home. I also make sure to give updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: Hi Rover! My name is Alex. I have been a pet owner since I could walk; dogs, cats, fish, birds, gerbils, even rats! I absolutely love animals and I am sure I can give your pet the love they require while you are away. I am the fur mommy of Sāj (pronounced Sage), and my angel fur baby Stasi 🕊️💕. Sāj loves other dogs almost more than she loves me. We have fur friends of all ages, shapes and sizes. So big or small, she can adapt and be a fun friend to play/cuddle with. I do work a full time job, however, I have flexibility in my day for walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I can provide plenty of daily updates and pictures. For new clients, I offer a doggie report card and Polaroid photo to ensure your pet was taken care of with the same love you give. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a hybrid schedule of work from home and office time, with flexibility to ensure your pet, like mine, are not left alone for extended periods of time throughout the day. I have a home with huge fenced yard to roam and play. I live within walking distance to regular parks and don’t mind taking a trip to the dog parks for socializing and exercise.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”

“Luz was an excellent care taker for our baby boy! She was very detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures! Her knowledge of caring for dogs definitely came in handy since our boy suffers from a bit of anxiety. She was able to asses when he was a little nervous and give his medication when needed. Our corgi can very hyper and insistent, so he needs someone with a calming and centered personality to bring him some peace and that's definitely what Luz brings to her caring service. He enjoyed her undivided attention and walks. We 100% would book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their hyper but sweet dog 🐶 ❤️. Thank you Luz!”

“T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again”

About: I have great attention to detail and enjoy connecting with dogs. I am very likeable and friendly and enjoy getting to meet many types of dogs. Developing a trusting relationship with my clients is key. I've been house/dog sitting for a few years and I've learned to bond with the dogs and really make them feel comfortable while their people are away. I'm a huge dog person and love meeting and learning about the endless number of breeds. I have great references and I think the biggest benefit of working with me is having the peace of mind of knowing that your home and pets are both being well taken care of. I'm hard working and strive to offer the best services possible. You won't regret choosing me to look after your home and/or pet.
About: I’ve grown up in a house with 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life and often house sit for my friends dogs. I’m used to big dogs and also high energy dogs being that I have one of each. I am mostly free during the week as being and only online college student where I work a part time job of only 2-3 days a week at most with it being pretty flexible I have a fenced in back yard with 2 friendly dogs that all love to play. Love talking the dogs out for walks and what not. I take my two everywhere I can with me.
About: I think the best way to connect with pets is to give them as much time and love as possible. I like to figure out what each dog needs out of the walk. Some dogs don’t need a really log walk all the time. And some dogs need to build up how long they can go. Let me figure out what your dog needs exactly. I also like to take them to doggy parks to see other dogs. If they don’t like it all good we can just play with there favorite toys and cuddle. Also when staying the night they will have a good amount of space. I live in and apartment which I know isn’t the most spacious but most of the day we would be out .
About: At 13 I had the privilege of being a doggy mom, I wouldn’t replace the moments for a thing! I love dogs and they deserve to feel safe and cared for. ROD dog lover! I am now 20 and my bestie for the restie is my fur baby🥰 I am currently doing online school and have a flexible work schedule. Commonly work nights mostly during the weekends but am able to go in whenever I have 2 dogs! My sisters cat visits here and there. My dogs are both Shih Tzu and Maltese. 1 boy 1 girl. They are very accustomed to our home and are very well trained!
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who lived with diabetes and eventually lost her vision. During that time, I was responsible for administering daily insulin injections, managing a specialized prescription diet, monitoring her health, and ensuring she remained comfortable and happy. This experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to care for pets with unique medical needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have regularly looked after my siblings' dogs and friends' pets, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around each pet's specific needs. Because I have control over my work schedule, I can provide reliable care and give pets the attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I ensure they receive their regular feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while following any instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away.
“Our first time with Becca was just for two drop-in visits when we were out of town. We met with her first to explain the set-up for our two dogs (one is a senior and a little particular) and everything went great! She took photos and let us know when she was there. Plan to book her again!”

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.

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.
