“Shannon is great! One of our dogs is a little scared of new people sometimes, so she took the time to come meet the pups before our appointment. They were friends in no time. Will definitely be booking again for the future. Thanks again!”
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
“Michele was EXCELLENT! Super patient with our little girl who takes a bit of time to warm up and trust new people. By the end she was a purring machine!! Highly recommend!!”
“I appreciate Barry getting my pups out on short notice while I couldn’t be home with them! I feel bad leaving them for long days, but have comfort knowing they get some time outside along with care and attention while I’m away!”
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.
About: Hi! I've had two dogs in my lifetime, and have experience at a dog day care training facility for 2+ years. I have experience in walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work part time in the mornings, but I am available any time in the early afternoons and evenings. If needed in the morning, let me know and we can work something out! My knowledge and constant attention to each individual pet's needs is crucial to proper care. Whether it be play, feeding or simply being there to make them comfortable.
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!
“Jeremy and Rui were amazing! They sent such great updates and my cats loved them (even my timid cat who is more hesitant of strangers). Definitely will be using them again when I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience helping family members and friends care for their pets while they’re away. Whether your furry friend needs a quick drop in visit, feeding, medication, a relaxing neighborhood walk, or an adventure filled with exercise and playtime, I’ve got them covered! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Your pet’s happiness and safety will always be my top priorities! I currently work Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays full time so I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. During my days off I will be available throughout the day no time is too early or too late to provide the care your pet needs. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big decision. As someone who has owned dogs and cats my entire life, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention that you do. Your pet’s safety and well being will always be my top priorities. Whether we’re enjoying a neighborhood walk, exploring the outdoors, or spending time together at home, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. I believe every pet is unique, which is why I’ll take the time to learn about their personality, routines, energy levels, and any special needs they may have. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and anything else that helps keep your pet happy and healthy. During walks, I’ll always be mindful of our surroundings, weather conditions, traffic, and interactions with other animals. I’ll never put your pet in an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situation just for the sake of an adventure. Communication is also extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Above all, I want to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and genuine care. My goal is simple: to give your pets an experience they’ll look forward to and give you the peace of mind you deserve!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Dog sitting for my aunt for when she went on vacation and cat sitting for friends and co workers! I love animals and would love to help others as well! I am currently employed at Mansfield deli. I usually work 5-7 days a week but my schedule varies. I get my schedule on a weekly basis so I’m not really sure of my schedule ahead of time but I normally work the same hours every week! Unfortunately I am not able to have other animals in my home due to having my own cats and dogs but I would love to care for other animals in the homes they are comfortable in. I am very well adjusted and have plenty of experience with pet sitting to help keep animals safe and taken care of! In my home we have 2 dogs and 2 cats.
About: I have had two dogs at home my whole life, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs. I now have my own dog that I have self-trained, independently. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of experience walking, training, and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! I am extremely responsible and also very active, so there is no doubt your dog would be in good hands. I am willing to take your dogs for long walks and/or runs and also play with them and give them love. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to build a long-term relationship with you and your dog, so that both parties will have some consistency. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the possible care of your dogs! I currently have flexibility on weekday evenings after 3:30 PM. Additionally, I am available all day on Tuesdays and on the weekends. I am very flexible with my schedule, though! At your home, I feel comfortable feeding, playing and walking your dog. Additionally, I have my own dog that loves to play with other dogs, if you are comfortable with that!
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitman
Shannon was great with our mini dachshund Lainey! She was very responsive, took the time to come meet Lainey before her first official booking and made sure to ask all the right questions about how to best care for our pup. Would highly recommend and would absolutely book with Shannon again!
Julia has a kind, gentle and fun way with animals. She has worked with a wide variety of animals. Prior to her initial visit, Julia was easy to communicate with regarding my wishes and concerns. During her visit with my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog, she exceeded my expectations. She has a great attention to details. My dog was all smiles in the pics from her visit and seemed less needy than usual for my attention when I returned home from work that day. I have booked Julia for regular future visits and would highly recommend her to other pet parents!

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.

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.

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.

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 .
