About: I’ve had pets my whole life. And I have walked dogs for neighbors in the past. I love animals and love to help them in any kind of way!

About: I've worked as a doggy daycare attendant, volunteered at animal shelters, shadowed a veterinarian, worked at a pet store (Pet Supplies Plus) and worked in small animal husbandry because my love for animals and pets is so strong. I have two cats of my own, along with a dog named Beandip, and I have regularly pet-sit my friend's dogs. I currently am taking care of my boyfriend’s dog with him here in Savannah, but I’ve been working in animal husbandry and care for the past two years. I am currently in the process of getting my Masters in Clinical Research, and any support will help! I try my best to understand where every dog is coming from in how it acts, and consider myself strong-minded. It's hard to make me frustrated, and I care more about a dogs well-being on walks than my own. I follow instructions entirely and communicate if any issues arise.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington Island
Michelle was wonderful with my kitten Puddles! This was my first time leaving her while I was out of town, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Michelle made me feel so much better. She was reliable, sent me updates and pictures, and I could tell Puddles was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely book with Michelle again and highly recommend her!
Haley took such great care of our girls! We were in a pinch, needing a dog sitter for St. Paddy’s on fairly short notice. Haley came to our rescue. We instantly had peace of mind because our pups instantly loved her during the meet and greet. When visit day arrived, she sent so many cute pics of our girls playing outside and relaxing on the couch! She also sent a detailed visit note. We really appreciate the time and care she gave them. You can tell Haley truly has a heart for pet care. We’ll definitely be calling 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 .

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.
