“So thankful to have found Zach on rover. He took such great care of my pup while I was away, ensuring that his needs were met and giving him lots of play time and attention. He is also great at providing pictures and video throughout the visit! Thanks Zach!”
“We had a great drop-in experience with Kayla! She is extremely responsive, we appreciated the timely and thorough communication. She easily managed our 3 dogs, big, small and a foster pup. She was patient with our shy little lady and seemed to gain their trust quickly. We will be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals growing up and over the past 15 years. Whether they’ve been my own or others I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, hedgehogs, and even reptiles! I’m currently working part time and going to school. I have quite a bit of free time at nights and throughout the day Monday- Sunday. Pet care has always been a passion of mine and I think it’s the perfect way to spend my free time! I provide excellent pet care by following each pet’s specific routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I stay attentive to their health and behavior, keeping them well-fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. Clear communication with owners and a commitment to cleanliness and reliability help me deliver consistent, high-quality care.

About: Your pet deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve to feel at home! 🐾💕 I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who will treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I would want for my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and preferences so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and a safe, welcoming environment. I’m also happy to send you regular photo and video updates, because I know how much easier it is to enjoy your trip when you can see your fur baby happy and comfortable. 📸🐶 Whether your pup is playful, cuddly, shy, or simply loves relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of affection. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I’d love to give them a little vacation of their own while you’re away! 🏡🐾 I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9–5 PM, and Saturday 8 AM–2 PM. I’m fully available Wednesdays, Sundays, evenings, and remaining hours with flexible availability.

About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
“Jamie D. is AMAZING! She came over before our scheduled times to meet Leo and Max. Max is very picky about meeting new people and he was in love with her after 2 visits. She is great about keeping you informed and even shares photos from her visit. She'll be the only person I use as long as she's Rover-ing. 🤩”
“Christine was great with our pup and took amazing care of him. She was always on time, communicative with updates, and went the extra mile when our dog's separation anxiety left him with an upset stomach. Will definitely keep her at the top of our list for taking care of our pup in the future.”

“Maria was amazing! She went above and beyond while watching my pets. Not only did she take great care of my two dogs, Blueberry and Bentley…. who were both completely comfortable with her….but she also showed so much care for my cat, Sage. She even made a special trip to the store to get canned food when she noticed Sage wasn’t feeling well. Her attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate everything she did and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.

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.
