About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !
“Jacee was amazing with my elderly cat, Millie! My old gal is not great with all humans, but she absolutely loved Jacee. Jacee was attentive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make me and my beloved cat feel safe and comfortable. I usually get nervous leaving Millie when I’m out of town, but Jacee completely put me at ease! I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

“This was the first-time having Beth watch our two dogs. We needed to find a new sitter on short notice, and we chose her because of location and her great reviews. She came to our house to do a meet and greet with us and our dogs. They are both senior dogs and need watchful care. We could tell right away the dogs liked her, as did we. Beth sent pictures and detail notes of each visit to let us know the dogs were in good hands and followed all of our special requests. We would highly recommend Beth to everyone.”

“This past week, Cheyenne took great care of our labrador puppy Luna. She is very patient and gentle with Luna while Luna is still learning how to become potty trained and teething like crazy. In addition to this, Luna is always very worn out and tired after a day with Cheyenne. We will definitely be using Cheyenne's services in the future.”

About: I've been exposed to dogs all my life. I remember taking care of my grandma's golden, Tabasco, ever since I was a little kid. After having an English Cream golden retriever for 10 years, I now have a pandemic puppy, Enzo, another golden.

About: I have 2 sweet dogs that I have had since they were puppies. I have helped take care of dogs (puppies, elderly, and special needs) and cats while the owners were away. Both of my dogs are 60 pound pit bulls and I walk them at the same time. I love dogs and they bring joy to my life. Every dog deserves the extra attention when their parent can’t give it to them at that moment. I am currently in college, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of availability to walk and play with your amazing pets. I am available most mornings, nights, and weekends In clients' homes, I always clean up and spend plenty of time playing and walking them.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate different care needs throughout the week. Because I run my own business from home alongside part-time work, I’m able to offer availability during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to help keep them comfortable and stress-free. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but also with your home. I have experience in hospitality and house management, so being dependable, attentive, respectful, and detail-oriented is very natural to me. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and at ease as possible by sticking to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention, love, and patience while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
