About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.

Thank you so much Lauren for giving my husband and I peace of mind while we were away and giving our cats the care and attention they needed!! Mike & Krissy”
About: Hello! My name is Natalie. I have a history with walking, playing, and grooming my friends dogs when nobody is able to. Also if you would like I can take your dog on hikes or anywhere you feel is best for your dog. I am willing to put all of my love to your dog and treat him/her like my own pup. I currently do not work a regular 9-5 job due to newly moving to the area so I have an open schedule! I am willing to work around your schedule. I currently have a high maintenance puppy of my own at home right now. He gets treated like a prince and that’s how I will treat your dog no matter if it’s just a walk or it’s pet sitting for you.
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Nevaeh! I've grown up around animals my entire life and have over 5 years of pet care experience. I currently have 1 dog of my own, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention every pet deserves. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to pet care.

I always follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and make sure they have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of affection.

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page :) Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up I had two cats and even a fire-bellied toad! They gave me wonderful childhood memories while teaching me the value of responsibility and compassionate care. As I got older, friends and neighbors began asking me to care for their pets, and I was always happy to help. Looking after animals-big or small-has brought me so much joy. I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting dogs of all sizes, cats, and a guinea pig. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats as well as a kitten, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love, attention, and care they receive at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and are well cared for while you’re away. I’m also willing to send pictures with updates on your pets for extra peace of mind. My schedule is pretty open right now so I’m very flexible and happy to stop by when you need. Just let me know what works best for you and I’ll do my best to accommodate with your schedule! When dropping in, I’m happy to stick to their daily routines and what makes them comfortable. I will always keep them leashed for walks and when going outdoors (unless the yard is fenced).
“Respectful and Professional, got along great with my precious creature. Followed instructions perfectly, and reached out when needed. Could stand to be more assertive w/ dogs sometimes, but still a great sitter. 10/10 would book again :)”

About: I have been rescuing & caring for animals for some time now, I have had experience with older animals and younger animals, with bottle feeding to giving them the medical care they need. My weekly routine in consistent and mostly flexible throughout the week, which makes it easier to tie things in between. Work and daily priorities. Pet sitting is where my main ideal routine would be. Giving them my upmost attention. Keeping them active and making sure they are well feed and taken care of. Being alert on essential needs they might have as well as making sure they are loved and adored.
“Jessica has been fantastic during drop-in visits for our dog Buddy! It was clear the second she walked in our home that she knows and loves dogs. Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old whether that be my own or someone elses, and I’ve had a passion for training and raising service dogs as well. I plan to do so through multiple programs in college. The nights on weekends could be a little difficult as I work another job however anytime during the week I will more likely than not be overjoyed to take care of your special boy/girl. I always make sure the dogs are more comfortable than I am. It’s their home, they are always fed, walked, and cared for as if they were humans.
About: In Kindergarten, my family got our first puppy. Her name was Daisy and she is my guardian angel. We grew up together, we played together, I learned the responsibilities, better yet I discovered my natural connection with animals. I nurtured her when we were scared of storms and picked her up going upstairs during her senior years. Years later our family got another puppy named Mowgli and he is my pal. Raising him was a different task and experience but he turned out to be a great partner. We run, fetch, catch and of course clean and bathe often. I have dog sit and walked for neighbors and family. It would be amazing to get to know your pup! Currently working part time so very flexible. Hoping to have more time to assist in pet needs and get to know some new furry friends. Backyard has a fence and house has a few floors to play. If preferred or allowed, sure don’t mind pets in the bed or couch.
About: Available for both walks and drop-in visits; early morning or after 3-4. I have a very sweet dog of my own (his name is Cooper and he gets along very well with other dogs, if your dog ever likes playing/walking with other dogs). He is full of energy, so I am used to long walks and lots of play time. I am also willing to run with your dog if you want / if they enjoy that! I have experience with puppies, special needs dogs, and older dogs. Feel free to leave special instructions so that your pup gets the best care possible. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask me! I’m happy to help however I can.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willoughby
Reese is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of Rosie, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in such good hands. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves the dogs she works with. Rosie absolutely loves her, which says it all! We’re so grateful to have found Reese and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup! 🐾❤️

Christy did an amazing job! The dogs love her and she is so gentle and kind. I texted her asking if she could drop in a few hours early one day because our schedule changed. She immediately responded and dropped in on our dogs within minutes. We were feeding one of our dogs chicken and rice and we ran out and she offered to bring some on her next drop in! We couldn't ask for better service and care! We will book her again!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
