“Heather took great care of my kitties while I was out of town. It was nice to know someone was checking in on them so I could enjoy my trip and not worry about them needing something! I loved getting to read their report card everyday and seeing pictures of them too🩷”
“Hannah did amazing taking care of our girl. She stopped in a few times to feed and play with Bella. Bella unfortunately got a little sick and happened to throw up on the couch and Hanna was kind and thoughtful enough to even clean it up when she really did not need to. She was very responsive and sent so many pictures of Bella. She really eased my worries of leaving Bella for a weekend.”
“She is super sweet and keeps me updated with my puppy. She even tells me how my cats are doing! She is very flexible and helps me last minute with my crazy schedule.”
About: Every dog deserves a life full of fun but owners deserve an experience of a well exercised trained pup! Let me help you with that!! I work full-time but off after 2pm! Dogs refill my cup when the workload feels too much. I work weekends and weekdays whenever you need a walk or daily check-ins. We care for safety and patients. My 2 dogs are above the age of 8 & very experienced with other dogs. I can teach your dog the basic start up of sit, lay-down, stay, crate trained, and walking skills.
“Yen was responsive right away to my cat sitter request. It was for almost 2 weeks of daily drop ins, which is a lot! She communicated clearly through the whole booking and took great care of my two elderly cats. I’m so grateful and I will definitely rebook with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’ve cared for multiple family and friends dogs and will make sure your dog is treated like family! I administer medications, take them on walks, feed them their meals at the appropriate time and make sure they get enough exercise! I always make sure my schedule can accommodate the pets schedule so they are properly cared for. I work 4 hours during weekdays and 6 hours during weekends. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to care for your pets needs appropriately. I will go outside with your dog every potty break to ensure they are safe. On walks, I always make sure I have a dog whistle on me to make sure myself and the dogs are safe. I also enjoy giving treats and cuddles to make sure they feel loved!

“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”

I have experience with sitting pets and even have some background interning at multiple vets so I understand the love and care pets need. I am reliable and compassionate about the care your pets are given because I would want the absolute best care for my fur babies! Currently working part time, I am available early mornings from 7–11 AM and I am also available later in the evenings after 7 PM. currently between jobs so my upcoming schedule will be changing! but I can always adjust once I get a new schedule. I will not be able to provide services that involve bringing your animal to my home, mainly because we live on 160 acres with no backyard fencing. I also have two small dogs in the house and a cat who do not get along very well with other animals.

I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet safe and comfortable, provide fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and send photo updates so you know they’re doing well.
About: I worked at a dog boarding center for a year. As well as taking care of family and friends animals before. I feel like I’ve had a way with animals since I was younger, even without trying animals seem to attract to me. I currently have a part-time job but with pretty flexible hours. In January, I start school, but it’s a hybrid schedule so it’s only three days out of the week. In my home, my pets get fed once a day but they’re on a pretty strict diet so we feed them lots of fresh meat and vitamins. They have a backyard to run free in and are constantly getting attention from me. I currently have four dogs and back home with my parents I have one dog and a cat.
“Jordan did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my 5 cats while I was traveling. We have a few that do not care for strangers and they loved her so much! She was super attentive to the instructions I left & she kept me updated on each cat, never leaving until she thoroughly loved each one of them. I'll definitely be calling her every time I have to leave town! It was such a relief to know, not only were they properly cared for, they felt loved and happy with her :)”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”

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 Abilene 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 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 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.
