“Alex is a wonderfully caring, kind, trustworthy, and responsible dog walker. I have a young puppy who is being potty trained and a geriatric dog that he came over to walk twice a day while I was at work. He came over to meet my dogs beforehand for a meet and greet and I instantly was able to sense how genuinely caring he is and how much he loves dogs! My mind was at ease leaving my dogs to be cared for by him. He sent frequent updates, including pictures and any questions or concerns that he had. My dogs each really love their time with Alex and we are blessed to have had him to watch them while I was away! I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Alex to care for your dogs as well. My two dogs and I are all so very grateful to him!”

About: I have been a pet owner nearly all of my life and have always had a great love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family whenever they needed a trusted person to step in. Beyond being a pet owner myself, I have also volunteered as a dog caretaker at a local shelter and have experience fostering dogs, as well. These experiences have helped me understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I truly love animals of all kinds and will care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Your furry family members will be treated like they are part of my family while they’re in my care! I will do my best to fit your needs into my schedule! Right now, I am available evenings and weekends for drop ins and walks. I am happy to walk, play, feed, and snuggle your fur babies while you are away. Ultimately, I will follow your care directions when caring for your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Currently have a dog and two cats that I love to bits. I always find time to be out playing with my dog and keeping cats company when it comes to the night hours. I’m currently not working but I do have the transportation to get around for check ins on pets. I have free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is really open to going in the morning, going in the afternoon, and going in the evening times before bedtime. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so being in the client's home I would be sure to introduce myself to the dogs, be outside while dogs are playing, and always attentive as to where an animal is within the house or backyard.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10. Every puppy or dog from the shelter has been crate/potty trained. I do have a senior dog who needs more patience and attention but he still acts like a puppy sometimes. I’m retired so I can make your life easier. Just let me know what/when you’ll need me and I can work it out for you and your babies. I have a fenced yard and my babies are house trained so they have free access to the entire house. If I’m potty training, of course, they would be crated.

About: My name is Julia and I grew up on a ranch in Texas, having dogs my entire life. I love getting outside and playing with my dogs, taking them on hikes, runs, and swimming at the lake. Because of all of these experiences, I truly understand how a dog becomes a part of your family. Taking care of a dog requires love, attention and patience- traits I've learned from interacting with my different dogs personalities. I have no problem playing with your dog for hours! I'm searching for a fulfilling activity to do outside of workl. I am available during the weekdays since I work remotely and anytime on weekends! I can run with your dog, practice basic tricks, or even do a photo session if you are in need of some pet photography! I work fully remotely, so my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility. I have the flexibility to easily drop by to do check ins or walks if need be. Safety is my priority when taking care of my friends pets, and I want to ensure that all care information is fully communicated before I head over.

About: I have had dogs since I was little and grew up taking care of them. I used to take care of the neighbors cats when I was younger and feel a strong responsibility towards all animals in my care. I recently cared for a young puppy to include walking her and a very old dog who required special assistance moving around. I pay close attention to how you want your pet taken care of because I expect the same for my doggies. I am currently not working and am very flexible with a schedule to include weekend care. I do prefer to work during daytime hours but will work with you if you need someone in the evenings . I will strictly follow your instructions on how you want your animals taken care of. My last client requested I follow their rules on training their puppy which I did. I will play, love and walk your dogs depending on your needs.

About: As an experienced pet caregiver with a lifelong dedication to animals, I bring a unique set of skills and qualities that set me apart from other sitters. With a background in managing a bustling stable of over 20 horses at a bed and breakfast dude ranch, I've honed my abilities in animal care, from basic needs to specialized attention. Additionally, my competitive experience in showing horses across various disciplines speaks to my commitment to excellence and attention to detail. I have spent my entire life caring for animals even traveling as far as Colorado to dog sit. What truly distinguishes me is my genuine love and deep connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's walking your dog, cuddling with your cat, or providing specialized care for senior pets, I approach each furry friend with compassion and dedication. I have a knack for understanding the unique needs of each pet, whether it's training puppies, administering medication, or providing gentle care for senior animals. Above all, I believe in treating pets as cherished members of the family, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and cared for in my presence. With me, you can trust that your beloved companions will receive the highest quality of care, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. As someone who works from home with a pet-free household, I have the flexibility to prioritize your pet's specific needs within my daily and weekly routine. This means I can dedicate ample time and attention to your furry friend without any distractions. My schedule revolves around providing the best possible care for your pet, whether it's scheduling regular walks, playtime sessions, or administering medication as needed. With my lifelong experience caring for various animals, I understand the importance of consistency and routine in meeting their needs. Whether your pet requires a structured feeding schedule, regular exercise, or just some extra cuddle time, I can accommodate their needs seamlessly into my daily routine. My commitment to providing personalized care means that your pet will receive the attention and affection they deserve, tailored to their individual preferences and requirements. You can trust that when you entrust your pet to my care, they'll receive the highest quality of attention and love, all within the comfort of a pet-free, home-based environment. In my home, as well as when caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment for furry companions. Living in a quiet neighborhood away from the highway, with a fenced-in yard and ample space for animals to run and play, I ensure that pets under my care have a secure and comfortable environment to thrive in. When pets are in my home, they become part of the family, receiving personalized attention and care tailored to their needs and preferences. Whether it's providing a cozy spot for them to relax, engaging in stimulating playtime activities, or ensuring they receive their meals on time, I go above and beyond to make them feel at home. Similarly, when caring for pets in their own environment, I prioritize maintaining a familiar and safe space for them. I respect their routines and surroundings, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily lives while providing the same level of dedicated care they would receive at home. With a background in managing a stable of horses and a lifelong dedication to animal welfare, safety is always at the forefront of my mind. You can trust that your beloved pets will be in capable hands, receiving the highest level of care and attention in a secure and nurturing environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
