“Kendall helped us out on short notice today when our regular dog sitters weren’t available,and gave updates on our dogs after each visit. She was prompt and we are thankful for her help!”
“Toby communicated with me throughout the visit, with this being her first time without me being home. Everything went well. It appeared Kahlo had fun and got some exercise, while I attended a long class. Rover worked very well and Toby was great to work with. ❤️”
About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a recent doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Natalie was very attentive and went above and beyond for our two cats. She always left some extra treats out and communicated with us well. We would not hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, i’ve even lived on a farm! I enjoy the company animals give me and how I can understand their love and appreciation without words. I have been around pets from dogs and cats, to turtles and ferrets. I have always been able to bond well with plenty of animals and it makes me happy knowing I can take care of them. I am a full-time college student at UToledo, majoring in Psychology! Although I am taking 5 classes, I still have many gaps in my schedule, and I would love to be able to use my time to play with animals! At the moment, I do not have my own animal, as my previous one passed away. I'd love to make my day a bit brighter and more exciting by watching your sweet animals! Unfortunately, I will not be able to pet-sit or care for any animals in my own home due to living in an apartment, having no fenced-in yard, and not having much space for pets to roam around. I am able, though, to go to anyone’s home to watch their pet and take it from there. I love being outside, so walks are definitely a must for animals that need lots of walking (or any cats/other animals who love to go outside). I will take pictures to send to the animal's owners, record medical information, clean up after the pets/bathroom area, and take on any other needed requests. I will ask questions and get to know what I can/can’t do with the pets before I try to do anything! I am very flexible, and I am here to help you and make your life easier!
About: I love all pets and grew up with two dogs during my childhood. I have experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. I now have a dog and cat of my own. I am open to caring for exotic pets such as guinea pigs, as I have had two in the past. I am open to drop in visits and dog walking. I look forward to helping you and your pets and making sure they are looked after while you are away! My availability varies week-to-week as I work part-time three days a week and my schedule changes weekly. I usually have open availability on Sundays. I do have two young children, so if I am needed on a day other than Friday or Sunday, I may bring them with me. I am willing to provide professional and personal references and more information if needed. Thank you in advance! My schedule varies as I work three days a week, various days each week, but most Sundays I have open availability. I do get my schedule a month in advance. When with your pet, I will assure that they are properly fed, exercised, and played with in order to provide proper care while you are away.
About: I am a 25 year old that has had animals her whole life. Size of dog doesn’t matter to me! I have a full time job and am looking to make a little extra cash doing something i love. My dad has had dogs my whole life so different personality styles is not a big deal to me. I have dog sat for special needs dogs and dogs that need medications I am currently working a full time job from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday, sometimes a weekend shift here and there but plenty of time to add a walk into the schedule! I love being able to give dogs enrichment that they need! Anything to activate their brain a bit while out and about, even just the new smells in a new area.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Willowbend
Nancy is the only person I trust to take care of my old man puppy boy while we are away. Nancy genuinely cares about our animals and goes above and beyond every time we book her. She is very communicative and flexible. Last January, we were out of town in the middle of a snow storm and Nancy made sure our dog was still taken care of even though it was difficult for her to even get to our house. She even communicated with our neighbors so that our dog would be taken care of even if she couldn't make it there in the bad weather. During this trip, we had very little cell phone service, but I wasn't worried about our animals at all, because I knew Nancy had everything covered. If you are looking for a trustworthy person who genuinely cares about your animals, Nancy is your person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
