“Arianna was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond by sending many updates, checking in on me and my new puppy even when she wasn’t here for a visit, she was extremely patient with my new puppy, even helped clean up a mess in the crate a couple different times. I will definitely be re-booking! I highly-recommend her care!”
“Has been such a great help to my fur babies, they love her. Takes her time and cares for the pups like her own. Very informative and will leave notes/updates. thank you Lydia for everything!”
“She was amazing! Even brought in our packages by the back door. Very thorough and considerate. I would definitely use her again and would trust her with my furry family member. We are very pleased with Rover and Gracie.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I grew up with small breeds and now have two of my own huskies. I’ve had four dogs at once before (german shepherds). I have also owned two cats. I’ve trained three of my dogs since they were puppies. I absolutely adore animals and there’s no better experience than loving your fur babies as if they were your children.

About: Having the opportunity of sitting pets in their own place makes a difference in their adaptation while someone new takes care of them. sometimes is easier for puppies or older pets to adjust when they are somewhere they already know. I enjoy sleeping, playing, cuddling or just share space with them. Also i find interesting the way you can stimulate them with games or new activities I am a student at Chaminade university and take my classes in the mornings. Staying with them is better for me so my free time i can dedicate it to them. I been a dogsitter and nanny for about 5 years now and I love what I do!! I’m a very responsible person, with experience in house sitting, so take care of your pet in your home is not only about their care but the responsibility and the opportunity of a new place.

About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I love animals. I have grown up owning all types! I am an active and caring person. I do not own a dog at the moment so I have a lot of extra time for yours! I will take your dog on a walk that suites them best. If they are high energy I would love to run or take them on hikes. If they need more socializing I can take them to the dog park. Is your dog shy or old? That’s great too, we can spend time cuddling or taking short walks. I am a responsible person and will respect all your wishes for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! So I am a nurse that works 3 12 hour shifts a week. That leaves me with 4 days off a week! I will let you know if your scheduled dates fall on one of my shifts as I know it’s not ideal to leave your pet alone for 12 hours :) I am super flexible, whatever special requests you have I will do my best to accommodate. I am very clean and respectful so hopefully you will barely notice I have been at your house :)

About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play.

About: Ever since childhood i've watched dogs. I currently live with a 2 year old dachshund, and a year old cat i've been responsible for since 2 weeks old. I am a current college student with all online classes. I would like to explore my options and see what days in my schedule fit me best. Depending on what the owner wants I will always follow instructions. At home I restrict my pets from climbing large object or allowing them into certain work or rooms they don't need to be in. I also make sure everything is put up high and sealed so no one gets into anything. I also check to make sure water is filled, they have been fed, bathroom is taken care of, and doors are locked when leaving.

We came home to happy pups, fresh water, and poop scooped. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in good hands!! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾
Lawrence is absolutely amazing! We’ve trusted him with our pets twice now, and he’ll continue to be our first choice whenever we need a sitter. Our babies adore him, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such caring, capable hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,447 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Akupu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 use the 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
