“Priscilla was very communicative during the visit and sent pictures of the kitties. She cleaned out the littler and refilled their water. Hopefully will use for my next travels and definitely recommend!”
About: Every pet I've had in the past was a member of my family and very much loved. I don't have a pet at the present time. I am retired so I have plenty of time to help pet owners with anything they might need. Keeps me busy with a purpose. I provide all types of care and meet and greets are required. I don't do puppies unless it's house sitting. FYI: If you book during a non-federal holiday (i.e. Palm Sunday, Easter, etc.) and also if travel is more than 20 miles from me, my prices might be adjusted upwards to accommodate. I have a fenced front/back yard, a large grass common area and a community dog park/run for pups to run and play in without a leash.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing gentle care for older pets. I'm also reliable, communicative, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to care for both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect, responsibility, and compassion. This position will be my full-time job, and I have a very flexible schedule. I am available to work mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays as needed. I can accommodate any schedule with at least three days' advance notice and am committed to being dependable, reliable, and available whenever the team needs me. I provide loving, dependable, and attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs. In my home or a client's home, I follow the pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if instructed, exercising, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I also monitor each pet for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate updates promptly with the owner. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, secure, and following all care instructions exactly. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I spoil every animal I meet! I’ve always been the “go-to person” that friends and family call when they need someone to watch their pets, take them for a walk, or give them some extra love and attention. Animals seem to naturally gravitate toward me, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs for both day and overnight stays, taken them on walks, given baths, and even done a little grooming when needed. I’ve always wanted to work with animals, and that love has never changed. I’m the person who will stop to help a lost animal on the street because I genuinely care. I’d be honored to give your pet the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my daily schedule is very flexible and allows me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m able to work pet care into my routine throughout the day, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent care and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I have a gentle giant of a dog who absolutely loves everyone and everything, so I’m very comfortable caring for big dogs and all kinds of personalities. I also have a bearded dragon who is truly the queen of the house, so I understand that pets can have very different routines and care needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, and lots of love. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents because I know every pet has their own routine and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while under my care.
About: With two years of professional experience at a high-volume boarding facility for dogs and cats—plus hands-on training as a groomer assistant—I know how to give your pets the expert, attentive care they deserve. Whether it’s a full spa day to pamper your pup or attentive daily check-ins, your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. As a proud pet parent to three wonderful dogs of my own, I treat every animal as if they were family. You’ll never have to wonder how they are doing; I provide regular updates and photo check-ins so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups. I’m full of energy and love every moment I spend with them! Taking care of your pet while walking is a full responsibility! I ensure they’re hydrated during their walk and give them a snack during their break. I never leave their waste lying around the ground and always pick it up politely. In case of an emergency with your furry friend, I immediately call you to keep you updated and take your best friend to their assigned vet! I always keep an aid kit by my side 24/7 in case of any emergencies.

Everything from bathing them to playing with them. Whether it's a dog, cat or reptile, I can handle it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winterhaven
Melissa was wonderful! She came over ahead of time for a meet and greet, and our generally nervous, high-anxiety Golden Retriever immediately took to her. She kept us updated throughout her stay with detailed report cards and lots of sweet pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’re so thankful to have found someone we trust completely with our girl. Melissa is so kind, caring, and dependable. Absolutely recommend her!
Lana was awesome! She is very easy to communicate with and responds promptly. We set up the meet and greet and key exchange easily. She shared photos of my doggies the whole time we were away. We came home to a tidy home and happy dogs! Highly recommend, and will definitely be booking again!
Aliyah took super good care of my babies while I was out of town. She sent me pictures of them throughout the week. When I got home my doggos were super happy, and well taken care of. I am very pleased with her services and I recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy sitter. I will 100% contact her again for future dog-sitting! Thank you Aliyah❤️

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
