About: I’ve always wanted my own pet, but because my friends had their own; I’ve been able to take care of pets since 2015. I have an abundance of love to give to my friends pets everytime I see them. My friends have trusted to leave their pets with me to take care of and pets love to see their aunty (me) when I come over ☺️ I’m currently working part time (from home mostly) & contract (in person). Depending on everyone’s schedule I’m pretty flexible. I try to have breaks around 12-2pm, and finish the rest of my work day around 7pm. Depending on the house, I let pets out in the backyard to potty or I will walk them around the neighborhood. I feed them at their designated time. I make sure to play and love on them through out the day.
About: I have 2 decades of lived experience & have work experience training many animals at a therapeutic barn. I’m interested in basic puppy training & willing to work with your dog if you want. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I can pop in for a quick check in or do longer walks if needed. I’m also willing to stay and give some attention to your pet, if wanted, but not comfortable staying the night. I’m very thorough in my care, meaning I follow instructions well and am sure to secure your pet inside and outside the home. I also try to be proactive and look for ways to improve the care I give your pet.
“Erin was incredible with our two cats! She leaned into their quirks and attitudes and took the best pictures for us while we were away! Would recommend her to anyone time and time again.”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior pets that may need extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am also detail-oriented and make communication a priority, providing regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply giving pets companionship and affection, I focus on creating a calm, caring, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their families. I do work during the day; however, I work very close to home and am able to return home during the day to provide check-ins, potty breaks, and attention as needed. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, patience, and care I would give to a member of my own family.
“Ruby had another great span of days hanging with Hannah. Ruby and her cat siblings thought they were on vacation too and ransacked some treats. Hannah moved a chair to block them from further indulging and this helped us come home to less of a mess and having to deal with upset pet tummies.”

Sophie was amazing! She took such great care of Lark, paid attention to every detail, and communicated wonderfully throughout my trip. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lark was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!
We are new to the area and needed someone to drop in on our dog Beau. Liz was great. She came on time, made sure Beau was fed and let out and provided plenty of pictures of their time together! I will definitely be reaching out when we need some help with Beau again!

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.

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 .
