About: I’ve cared for dogs/cats my entire life, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and relaxed as possible—as if you never left. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, and I want you to enjoy your trip without worrying about your furry family member. I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. As a bonus, I also enjoy tidying up, so if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll come home to a happy pet and an even cleaner house. One of the biggest benefits I offer is flexibility. I work in medical device sales, which means I’m local and make my own schedule. Because of that, I can stop by throughout the day to let your pets out, give them potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply some extra love and attention. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for whenever they need it. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will always make sure to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Most of them time I enjoy cuddling up on the couch and watching a good show right by your pets side

I adhere to a strict routine with my own dogs everyday when we wake up, and towards the evening we unwind and relax with a lots of pets, cuddles and kisses.
“Meghan was amazing. She completed every visit we requested and was able to accept 2 additional visits due to our delay in returning home.

About: Our pets are our family, and making sure they are comfortable and less anxious while you are gone is so important. Who wants to go to a doggy jail while you are gone when you can have them stay in their own home so much easier and much more affordable! I've put my own through puppy training and dealing with a senior dog with hip dysplasia. Prior animals I went through the insulin shots and special diet needs. My current job I do work 9 -6:30 pm which works great for morning potty and dinner timr. Saturday through Tuesday availability is much more open during day compared to Wednesday and Thursday. I literally have a dog that knows how to open doors so I understand keeping things a certain way to protect them and mail/delivery drivers. I will maintain awareness when letting them out either on leash or perimeter fence. Keeping them on a routine route is so important during those times, they love a schedule.

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.
