“Dalton does an excellent job! I left home reassured that my pet (family member) would be just fine because he handles everything in such a confident and professional manner!”
“2nd time booking with Jordan. Just top notch service. I’m so pleased with the level of patience and care Jordan consistently shows our little guy. I’m very picky about who I leave Jasper with, Jordan is very trustworthy and would highly recommend her services. Thanks again Jordan! See you again soon!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and I’ve also watched and walked my neighbors dogs, I also have human medical training which has come in handy a few times with my own dogs. I’ve cared for my older dogs and I’ve had puppies so I’m very comfortable caring for or walking them! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to love and play with your babies! I’m current schedule is working Monday, Thursday through Saturday and off on Sunday’s and Monday’s it may change but I’ll always keep you updated on my schedule and availability! Before I moved into an apartment, I had a big fenced in back yard that I would play with my pups but now my pups enjoy playing in the fenced in dog park, they love getting all the good gossip and smells!
About: I'm here to lend a helping hand in caring for your furbabies. Mine are my world! I don't know that I've ever been without pets. I'm that person that stops traffic to help a turtle cross the road. I've saved many strays. We've fostered multiple sets of pups from the local shelters & I have experience with bottle feed babies, both pups & kittens. I have & have had many pets throughout my life & that's where my experience comes from. Dogs of all sizes, young & old. I can give medications if needed. I would love to help you out when you need someone to step in & care for them for a bit. I will treat them as I would my own. I work a full time job M - F, 8:00 - 4:00, but my job is Hybrid, so I work from home 3 days a week. So aside from meetings, I can fit in drop-in visits most anytime. I can also, stop by prior to & after work as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have multiple pups & even more cats. I have a fenced in backyard that our babies thoroughly enjoy being able to roam & explore daily. During my visits, I will care for your baby however you've instructed because I know it's beneficial for them to stay on their own schedule. A couple of mine have high anxiety so I fully understand the benefits of staying home & keeping schedules as much as possible. If they don't have a fence & need walks, I will welcome the additional steps.
About: I grew up having a cat as my family pet. I’ve also dog sat for work friends and I genuinely love it. I’m young so I have a lot of energy to play with your pet. I’m a licensed realtor in Alabama so I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere so I’m very adaptable. I can work Monday-Saturday after 10am. I live in a house with a large backyard so your pet has plenty of space to play. I also currently do not have a pet of my own so your pet will get my full attention which increases safety.
“Chandler was great with our lab! She was very responsible, prompt and sent photos every day while we were out of town….she did a great job for us. She came to our home to get familiar with where she would be going every day and got to meet Maisey. We will certainly call her again…such a sweet person!”
About: Growing up my parents always had atleast 4 dogs and we loved them so deeply and took such good care of them that they all became a member of our family and were treated like they were one of us … I was always taking care of new puppies and neighbors pets when they went out of town and since I can’t convince my husband to let me get another dog I decided the next best thing would be to sit for other peoples animals!! I currently work a part time job . I wake up around 5 and let the dogs out to go potty then bring them in and give them time to eat and drink . They get walked one more time before I head out to work and then go into the kennel if they aren’t trained . As soon as I get home they go outside to go potty and I check their food and water to make sure they have plenty . For the rest of the evening they get walked a few more times and taken to the dog park atleast once before bed. I have a kennel for one extra large dog and I walk them through my neighborhood to the dog park that is exclusive for the residents there. There is not usually anyone there and if there happens to be a dog there that doesn’t seem the friendliest there is a smaller fenced off area for the babies or dogs that aren’t as friendly. I have an extra large tub incase baths are needed and a large dog bed for them to get cozy in after a long day!

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.
