“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!”
“Sierra was great with my dogs and knew how to handle their quirks. She also communicated wonderfully with me during the visit sending pictures and updates. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Yasmeen did an excellent job with my cat while I was away. She kept me well informed of how she was doing with pictures, and updates everyday. She even accepted a booking for an extra day, when I realized I had misbooked my dates. I will definitely try to use her for future needs.”
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. That is the type of care I can provide for your fur babies. I am teacher so Monday through Friday I get home around 4pm and stay home for the rest of the day. Saturday and Sunday and I am very flexible. Feel free to message me with any questions. I have a fenced patio and two friendly dogs to play with your fur babies. If your pet needs to be crated, that can be accommodated. While I am home, all pets can hang out with me and have free roam of my house. I also live directly across from a park to go on walks and play. The beach is within 5 minutes and I would gladly take them there if requested.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog, although that’s the only experience I’ve really had, I’ll make sure your little rascals will be taken care of. I’m currently doing temporary gigs as of right now. Most of the time I will be free. Saving up for bills and also trips coming up. I will care for your pets by making sure the rules that are set for them are always followed. Making sure to adhere to them and show love to your pets.
“Much appreciated. She took the time to walk my doggies and give them the attention they needed. She is reliable and I was able to book with her on a short notice. Would book again.”
“We've worked with Rebecca several times and she's always taken such good care of our pets. She cared for our dog for the first time today and he was so happy to see her! She's very reliable and we always feel good knowing she's taking care of our pets.”

“Gabriella took care of my cats while I was away. She took pictures of them daily and messaged me every time she dropped by. Even when I wasn't able to answer right away, she made sure I have my updates. She even took care of some things in the house for me. Overall, my cats loved her and she did an awesome job caring for them. I was reassured each visit and with that I had a peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely request her again if ever I need someone to look after my pets.”
About: I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel as comfortable as possible! Let me know about their normal routine, personality, favorite things, any special needs, or behaviors I should be aware of. Every pet is different, and I’m more than happy to adjust to what works best for them. My schedule is pretty flexible! I work occasionally, but my hours change from week to week, so I’m usually able to move things around to fit your dog’s needs. I’m available most days and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, or spending extra time with your pup. I always try to care for someone’s pet the way I’d want mine to be cared for. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while also sticking to their normal routine and any instructions you leave. I know it can be stressful trusting someone new with your pet, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: As a dedicated dog owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets receive the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I am responsible, dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply relaxing, I strive to make every experience comfortable and enjoyable. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, maintaining routines, providing regular updates, and treating every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I currently work independently with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day.

Since I manage my own work hours, I can offer weekday and weekend availability, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own dog, Leonidas. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I prioritize a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I also believe communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel connected and reassured. My priority is building trust, respecting each pet’s individual needs, and ensuring they receive quality care and companionship while their family is away.

About: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog. I have some experience caring for a blind and diabetic dog and feel it would not be an issue to aid those dogs with special needs.

About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Ever since I was a child, I was the one rescuing stray animals, caring for birds or kittens bring them back to health. Growing up I had cats, parrots. I had a French Bulldog who was my heart for many years. After he passed, I decided not to get one again, but I still miss the connection and joy animals bring. Since then, I’ve been caring for pets of friends and family. My friend has three cute Pomeranians and when she is away I walk them, feed them couple times a day and give older one necessary medication. Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle because I love spending time with them. I do morning walks followed by feeding and fresh water, playtime with toys, evening walks and wind down routines. At the moment, my current home doesn’t allow animals, so I’m not able to host pets. However, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own home, which many animals actually prefer since it keeps them in a familiar and comfortable environment.
About: Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with animal. I grew up caring for our household pets, neighbor's animals, and showing dogs. Since moving to Hawai'i I felt like I lost apart of who I am since I haven't been able to be around many animals. This job will be a great opportunity for me because since I am unable to get my own pets right now I'll be able to do what I love again-caring for animals. I have a flexible schedule so when I get a booking I am able to be fully devoted to your pet as if they were my own. Every pet and owner are different so I think its important to listen to what their pet needs and adjust. I am a very calm person and have always been able to gain the trust of animals. Animals come first so all their needs will be met before my own.

We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Tiffany. She was punctual, attentive, and gave them all the love and attention they needed while we were away. 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. He keeps us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter!

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.
