About: I been dog/cat and reptile sitting for 15 years for friends and family, I love them like my own and excited to work with animals again! I like to go above and beyond and take dogs on extra walks, ensure they are comfortable and feel safe! I love going on walks daily so I’ll always take my dog out to get exercise and care for my little guy (his names gizmo and he’s a big little baby) I always put the animals first and make sure they are situated and cared for by having lovings, attention and made sure they feel safe and comfortable!
“Anyone would be lucky to have Linzi watch your kitty. She was always thoughtful and understanding of our grumpy cat’s needs and she also made us feel comfortable leaving our cat for any period of time. We have been working with Linzi for 4 years and every time she watched our cat, we always felt relief knowing he would be in good hands. She is a wonderful person and I highly recommend Linzi to watch your pet.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life and am confident in my ability to care for any size of dog. I am a dog mom of an energetic 3 year old black lab who loves her walks. My career allows me to be available during the day to provide any service that might be needed. I could do multiple times a day or just once. I treat any pet as if they are my own. I will make sure to complete the task ensuring the safety and happiness of your pet as well as respecting your home and boundaries.
“Annaliese was an amazing cat-sitter. She provided detailed daily notes and pictures to keep me informed and confident that my cat was happy & well. Highly recommend booking her!”
“Would definitely book Jennifer again! Our cats were clearly well cared for while we were away, and the house was clean of any pet messes (food, litter, etc.). Would recommend Jennifer for sure!”
“Xiaxin is thorough and such a dolllll to my pup. My dog immediately connected with her and her communication was impeccable and intentional. Will always book with Xiaxin”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and real experience caring for animals of my own. I have hands-on experience with my bunny and with my first dog, a leash-reactive beagle named Roger, which has taught me calm handling, awareness, and consistency, especially as a pre-vet student currently taking biology and chemistry. During the week, I prioritize my classes and coursework first, then make time to walk and care for Roger, a dog I regularly walk on campus. I’m also committed to my rowing schedule, which keeps me structured and reliable with my time. On weekends when I’m home, I’m available for additional walks and pet care. This routine helps me stay consistent, responsible, and dependable with animals. For dog walking, I always follow the owner’s instructions exactly and prioritize safety at all times. I double-check leashes, harnesses, and collars before every walk, avoid unsafe areas or distractions, and stay alert to my surroundings. I make sure dogs have water before and after walks and return them calmly and securely to their home. Even though I’m new to professional dog walking, I’m very dependable, attentive, and always communicate clearly with owners.
“Natalie did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was well cared for. Communication with Natalie was excellent in setting up the visits and during when any potential issues came up.”
“Amanda is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring for my 2 kitties while I was out of town. She’s very responsive, sent lots of pics and I can tell she truly cares about their well being. Def recommend & I will book her again in the future! Thanks Amanda!”
About: I love all types of dogs! I have been around dogs my whole life! My family and I rescued my pit bull mix From the animal shelter and named him Tucker 3 years ago. He is such a great dog. I love running around with him in my backyard and taking care of him! I also used to watch my aunts dogs for her all the time throughout my life! I used to go to her house and let them out after school. I also used to dog sit for her when she went on vacation. A lot of my friends and family have dogs that I am around all the time as well! I have been around all sizes of dogs such as terriers, labs, pit bulls, golden doodles, shih tzu’s and many more! I am currently working full-time so I am available after 3pm but with the summer coming up I am working part-time so I will be available in the early mornings and late afternoons. I have a dog of my own who I have taken care of for 5 years now. I will provide your dog with a long walk and the proper care and love they need.
“This was our first time using Rover for our 4-month-old kittens, and Alexandra was absolutely perfect for the job! She was thoughtful, attentive, caring, and communicative during her check-in visits over the weekend. We loved receiving photo and video updates, which reassured us that our babies were being loved, played with, and kept on their routine while we were away. We’re so grateful to have her nearby for future trips!!”
“Carol checked on my cat twice a day while I was away for a week. She was wonderful! She gave him the attention he needed and kept me updated with pictures and details of his day. Carol is reliable and attentive!”
About: My fiancé and I are truly dog lovers. Over the past 12 years we have had many dogs in our care for various length of time. We have three of our own currently two Italian greyhounds and a female Basenji. I also consistently sit for a family friend’s small terrier, she is a senior girl with us 2-3 times per week. Considering the abundance of dogs in our lives, I would consider myself extremely experienced to handle any dog at any age with any type of potential issues. Dog sitting aside, I am probably a more experienced dog walker than anything else as I walk my three guys three times a day all at the same time. Contact me if you need any help I will take excellent care of your pet , walking , sitting , whatever you need ! With three dogs in our home, I am basically on the clock with them 24/7. For the most part, I am available at all times if you need walking or sitting Our dogs are basically treated like royalty, and will do the same for your pets. I am available for walks up to an hour , feedings and whatever other necessary care comes up. If you need a sitter out home is smoke free and extremely clean and your pet will have an amazing time with us.
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Though I cannot afford my own dog right now, I am always looking to hang out with dogs any chance I can get! My roommate has a Bernese Mountain Dog who is the most mellow, sweetest pup ever (she is 8 months old). I assist in feeding her, walking her, playing with her, and just keeping her company as my roommates schedule is more demanding than mine. I love going for long walks, (or runs), playing fetch, and just keeping dogs company. I think I am a great candidate due to my experience with animals and my love for them. I am excited for the day that I can provide a home to my own dog!
About: Hi there! I am a responsible and reliable pet lover who currently has a chihuahua mix! Would love to care for your pets with the same care and attention that I show my own! Thank you so much for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your wonderful pet very soon! I am working remotely 3 days a week so I am available for walks or drop-ins during those days! Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are my work from home days! I am a very safe dog-walker! I will make sure your dogs do not interact with dogs they don't know while on our walks so they stay safe! I will make sure to clean up after them! I am very reliable and will 100% follow any pet care instructions you give/will ask for clarification when needed!

I’ve trusted Monica more than once, and she is truly a wonderful pet sitter. She treats both your home and your pets as if they were her own, with so much care and love. It's such a comfort knowing everything is in great hands while you're away. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely continue to be a repeat customer!
Adrian took excellent care of my two girls, Eva and Gretta, for 8 consecutive days. We did a brief meet ans greet before the booking and went through the daily tasks. He was very attentive and respectful. I was able to enjoy my vacations knowing my girls were under Adrian’s care. Recommended and I would personally book again with Adrian. :-)
Annaliese was incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive to my kitten. I truly could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that Skippito was happy, comfortable, and loved. In addition, she was very communicative and kept me in the loop with how my little guy was doing the entire duration of my trip away.
Xianxin was amazing! She cared for our two cats while we were away for 14 days abroad. She went above and beyond, making sure our kitties weren’t just cared for with food, water, and litter boxes but she spent time playing with them and giving them attention, too. My cats really adore her! The daily photos also helped us feel better being away from them, it was something we looked forward to. She was super responsive to messages. I will 100% be rebooking with her if we can next time we are out of town and highly recommend her services!
Ana has done a great job watching our Dallas every time! We were able to completely put our trust in her when we went out of town for a 4 day long trip. It is nice to know he is in good hands when she sends photos of them playing and is always punctual! I would highly recommend her!
Melis is an amazing pet sitter! She is always so communicative and provides updates every time she visits. My pet is so comfortable with her and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of, I always come home to a happy pet! Cannot recommend Melis enough, I’ve had her pet sit for me multiple times and will continue to ask her to watch my pet! Thank you!
Jing is incredibly responsible and genuinely goes above and beyond. It is so hard to find someone who truly understands cats, but she is a natural. She took care of all the essentials perfectly, including keeping a close eye on the automated litter box to ensure it was running smoothly. What really set her apart was the extra care she gave—she took the time to properly groom him and made sure he got plenty of active playtime. To top it all off, her post-visit updates were fantastic; she left highly detailed descriptions after every single visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I trust her completely and cannot recommend her enough!
Xinglu was a great cat sitter while I was on vacation. She was extremely communicative, sent regular updates, and really went above and beyond, keeping my space tidy. Most importantly, my cat Ellie seemed so happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Winthrop stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winthrop. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
