About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, which means caring for four-legged family members is second nature to me. As my family and friend’s resident dog sitter, I have hands on experience with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from high energy giants to tiny couch potatoes. I am passionate about keeping dogs active and healthy, so you can count on me to provide plenty of outdoor time and engaging walks. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing them with a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is highly flexible! Pet care fits seamlessly into my day, allowing me to offer reliable windows for walks and drop-ins. My 'portable' office also makes me a great fit for house sitting, as I can work right from your home and keep your pet company. Weekends are equally open and flexible for whatever your pet needs! I believe the best environment for a pet is one that closely mirrors their usual routine. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in, I strictly follow your specific guidelines for feeding and house rules. During house sittings and drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and locked up. When we are out on walks, your dog will always be kept on a secure, standard leash, and I maintain a strict 'no greeting' policy with unfamiliar dogs to prevent any unpredictable interactions. I am deeply observant of body language to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and never stressed. I also believe that communication builds trust, so you can always expect timely photo updates and detailed Rover cards after every visit!
About: I’ve been around animals since a little girl. They’ve always caught my eye, i’ve dealt with little to huge doggies and they all been great! Taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I’m currently working part time at a dog day care which i love and lets me have plenty of free time to watch your babies whenever needed. I’m very aware of how to take care of pets. Their safety in these circumstances mean a lot to me and if needed reassurance that your dog is okay always give a call or text!
“Angelique was great with drop-in visits with our cat while we were away on a trip! Very communicative, friendly, and responsible. Our cat didn’t even seem to miss us that much when we came back so that’s a good sign lol”
About: I have had a pet sitting business since the age of 12 and am now 50. I love animals and am kind of a self proclaimed animal psychic. I can feel their emotions, wants and needs. I have even diagnosed sick pets before they had visited a vet to confirm my guesses. All this to say I am very in tune with animals as they are with me. I would be an excellent choice to take care of your fur-babies. Hi there I look forward to helping you and your animal family. I am currently working from home which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, and frequent potty breaks.I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, a nd loved while you're away. I am happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide regular exercise, and send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client's home, I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and well cared for.
About: I have experience with a broad range of dogs from miniature aussies to pit bulls and Great Danes. I’m happy to take your dogs on longer hikes and adjust care to their energy levels and needs. I also have experience caring for reptiles, felines, goats, and chickens. I’m currently working part time locally in South Lake Tahoe while attending school online, and I have a flexible schedule for dog walking and pet care! I will discuss care expectations prior to pet sitting / dog walking to make sure I understand the animal’s behavior on leash or with other dogs. Typically in home care involves feeding, light cleaning, spending time with animal in the yard (if available) and dog walking.
About: Experienced dog lover providing attentive care, tailored to your furry friend’s needs. With a passion for doggos and a commitment to their well-being, rest assured your beloved companion is in good hands while you’re away! I can make pet care fit into my schedule seamlessly. I am available for house sitting services as well as drop ins. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have no pets in my home, I am easily available to stay where your dog is comfortable, in their home environment. I can provide walking services as well.
“Alexandra was a pleasure to have visit my dog. She was kind, experienced, transparent, and really made my dog feel comfy while I was away. I would definitely recommend her for all her available pet services!”
About: I adore all dogs no matter the shape or size! I'll give them the attention and care they need. If you ask anyone who knows me they'll tell you how much I love dogs. I've grown up with dogs all my life, have taken care of my friends dogs, and have house/dog sat multiple times. I will treat your dog or dogs like they're my own and you'll have nothing to worry about. I am currently working remotely from home and have the flexibility to do daily walks and frequent play sessions! If you require house-sitting I can work from anywhere that has wifi! I treat every pet that I care for with the same love and respect that I give to my own dogs and cats. I'm very respectful of an animals wants or needs - if they prefer to be left alone then I can give them there space or if they like lots of attention then I can give them that too!
About: Grew up on a dairy farm, have had family pets growing up including dogs (of all sizes) and cats. Began house and animal sitting at the age of 15 for family friends. My strict daily routine keeps me on track for animal care. Currently working full-time, filling the day with numerous outside activities and play time for family pets. My love for animals allows me to easily create a great bond with them! Enabling me to closely monitor their behavior for anything out of the ordinary.
“Alena is a fantastic sitter. She spent quality time with our cats, sending pictures and a comprehensive visit summary each day, giving me peace of mind. I had no worries about my fur babies while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for a variety of pets, so your pet will get 10/10 care! I grew up caring for my family’s very large Bernese Mountain dog, and slightly smaller German Shepard mix. I know how to handle large dogs and love spending time with them! I’ve been a pet sitter for smaller dogs in past and adore them just as much. I love pets and I can’t wait to meet yours 🐾💗 I am a student athlete, so during the day I have practice and classes, but I can spend time with your pet in between and can stay overnight. My weekends are completely free if your pet needs a little extra play time or cuddles! My dogs at home are a little mischievous, so I’m extra diligent about locking doors, checking windows and keeping food off of the counters 😁! Above all, I love pets so I’ll make sure to keep them safe!

About: I can match all energies. If I need to tire out a puppy. I can tire out a puppy. If I need to be calm energy for a sweet oldie, I can match. I don’t mind pet hair or bad breath kisses at all ;) I am active and spend much time outside. My vehicle has a dog bed for comfy transportation to our adventure. I have plenty of toys and can easily access trails even in the snow. If a dog is on a routine, (eating, sleeping, exercise, pottying) I’ll stick to it. I have administered drugs and creams etc. as necessary. Showing love to the animals with lots of butt scratches and massages is my favorite form of care.
“Alyssa was SO great with the kitties. She was very attentive, responsible, and reliable and she was excellent at communicating through the app. I saw on my Ring that my boys eagerly waited at the door when they heard her car pull in. We will definitely use Alyssa again if we need a sitter in the future & we will recommend her to our friends.😁”

Georgette's attention to detail was outstanding, the weather was a factor throughout her time taking care of our pets, but she made sure that if it was starting to rain, she came back to take our pup from the backyard and into the house. Her dedication and extra efforts were so very appreciated, will plan to use her services in the future for our next trip.

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.
