“As usual Caroline was great and really helped me thru a difficult situation when I was delayed getting home because of an unfortunate situation. Cannot recommend her enough and my dogs love her. Thank you Caroline.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I have a beagle back home with my family, which has taught me how much pets mean to the people who love them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable! My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own while you’re away. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I make pet care a priority and always plan my day around the pets I’m watching so they get attention, exercise, and many potty breaks!I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re part of the family. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them extra cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll care for them the same way I would want someone to care for my own. Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority.
“Megan was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We were so nervous about finding the right sitter for our Chapo, especially since he can be reactive and very protective of his space. From the moment we met her, though, Megan made us feel completely at ease. What truly sets her apart is her patience, empathy, and genuine love for our fur friends. She took the time to understand Chapo’s personality and needs, made sure he felt safe and comfortable, and even went above and beyond by caring for his hygiene, health, and our home. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Megan does. We felt confident that Chapo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for and loved. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you SO much, Megan, for treating our Chapo like family!”

I’ve had experience caring for animals of all ages, from young babies to seniors, and I’ve worked with a wide variety of species—including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rats, and more! I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I currently and just in school at Georgia Southern University. My schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time and love for your pets. I will always make the safety of the pets my top priority and using resources such as a fence or leash while out for a walk or yard time. Keeping an eye on them making sure nothing happens
About: Growing up in a household whose always had rescue pups i’ve cared for dogs coming from several different backgrounds since I was 13. I have most experience caring for rescues that have come from very abusive homes, senior babies, administering respective pills, and dogs with epilepsy/ heart failure. Neighbors and family friends have always relied on me to know that their pup is in the best hands.I’m also going into my first year of college majoring in Animal Science to be a veterinarian:). I am currently free all week and weekend. During those seven days i’m free from 9am to 12am. Thank you for choosing me to take care of your loved one! I currently do not have a fenced in yard but leashes are used during that time. I currently have a new addition to my family that is 4 months. He’s up to date on all vaccines. Our dog does very well with others. Potty breaks are every 40 minutes to an hour as well as a potty break 30 minutes after eating ( i find that this is the best time frame). If a crate is needed and/or provide then i will ensure that one is used. My pup is also crate trained. (info!) The speckled dog that you see in the photos was mine but is no longer with us, if you had any concerns:). Their passings are very unfortunate but i can ensure that they lived a very long and love life.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, I have a family dog named Tin-Tin. I also have two bunnies of my own which I’ve raised for 5 years now, and chickens! I’m currently working part time at the moment, I am usually free/available later in the days and free all day on the weekends! I would be able to pet sit at your house, making sure to keep an eye on your furbaby, and catering to their needs. I would ask in advance the do’s and don’t’s and also be respectful of your space.

“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my dedication to providing exceptional care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I ensure that every furry friend is treated with the utmost love and care. My commitment to making a positive impact is reflected in the personalized experience I provide for each pet, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to make pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to incorporate time for walking, feeding, playtime. By dedicating regular slots in my day for pet care, I ensure that each furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve to thrive and be happy. It's a priority for me to make sure they feel loved and well-cared for every day! I won’t be doing in Home pet care, but I definitely will be doing it in the future. I will be updating once I decide.
About: I love all animals and my biggest goal is the give you and your dog an OUTSTANDING Rover experience. I will talk to your furry friend, play with them, walk them, and provide any additional care as necessary. I am here to make your life easier and your dogs life worth woofing about! I don’t have my own pooch right now, but with Rover, I am able to get all the face licks and wiggles of joy I need, all while helping others and making some extra cash. Loving what you do directly correlates with the quality of service provided - I love what I do and nothing in life is more important than that. I currently work full time Monday-Friday with an hour lunch break. I can sleep over your place, give your pet all the cuddles they need, and come for the afternoon walkie! (If close enough to my work/if they need it) I go to clients homes, am able to spend the night with your pets, do their morning routine, and come as needed in the afternoon during my lunch break.

Megan visited with us before sitting with our dog, Brody. She did a wonderful job of caring for him while we were on vacation. She was punctual, sent us messages and photos at every visit, and went above and beyond during her visits with him. We will definitely be booking Megan again the next time we go out of town.

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.
