“Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.”
About: I’m an active, highly disciplined professional athlete with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your dog needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way. I treat every pet with the same level of focus and care I bring to my daily training. As a full time athlete managing a flexible training schedule, I have structured availability for midday, early morning, and evening walks. Dog walking fits seamlessly into my active daily routine. I pride myself on prompt communication, strict punctuality, and flexibility to meet your schedule so you always have peace of mind while you're away or at work. Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.
“Amy was so so patient with our Chili girl when she needed some extra time to warm up. We are so grateful for her & the patience & understanding of what our dog needs. Will absolutely be booking again! Thank you so much!”
“Barbara was great! She took care of our two cats and dog. She is very sweet and took great care of them. She had to make our fussy dog her special food and she was very good at communicating with us. We will definitely book with her next time. Thank you Barbara!!”
“Michelle was an AMAZING sitter for my cat Sable. She showed her above and beyond amounts of love and attention. I can’t recommend her enough… and there is a good chance Sable likes her more than me already 🤣”
About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs at one time for many years. I get asked all the time if I am a professional dog walker or whisperer! Currently I have two labrador retrievers and one german shepard. I live and love to keep them active whether it be a walk, frisbee throw at park, tug a war in backyard or a pack walk at the lake. Many days you will see me with my 4th dog ( Grand dog). Large dogs are my calling but I love on all sizes! I am currently working a part time flexible schedule and have the ability to be available to check in on your loved ones and/ or take for a walk! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for dog walks and drop in visits each day. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every pet receives reliable, on time care and individual attention. When I provide drop in visits, I focus on following each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to the owner's instructions, provide potty breatks or litter box cleaning as needed and spend quality time with them through play, exercise and companionship. I also administer medications if requested and I'm comfortable doing so. I do send updates with photos after each visit so owner's know their pet is happy, safe and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, growing up we had 5 cats and 3 dogs! I currently own just my kitty at the moment and have the extra time to care for your pets! Whatever your needs are I can get them taken care of! With love and care :p Working from home gives me the ability to tend to most day to day needs most families don’t have the time for! Getting out of the house is something I do daily for exercise! So dog walking/pet visits work perfectly for my schedule. With the same care I’d give my animals. With respect and love. Being good with children also correlates very well with caring for animals. Most important factor in my opinion, is being protective. I will make sure your animals are always 100% safe with me. I can lift up to 200lbs, so in the case of a bigger dog, that won’t be a problem.
“Nanci was absolutely fantastic with my cats. She knew all the right questions to ask and obviously loves animals, I felt super comfortable leaving my babies in her care. 10/10 would absolutely call again!”
About: I have worked in the animal field for 15 years+. I graduated vet tech school 10 years ago. I am an animal advocate and have worked with domesticate as well as exotic animals. I have understand the troubled animals since i have always adopted the animals that others said were too much to handle. I understand everyone has a busy life and I like to provide a place to safely leave ur pet where they can still be loved and have a warm home. Everyone including the furry members deserve a vacation. I can help take care of other peoples furry family members when they are away. I will discount additional pets in a family. Will discuss pricing when we make sitting reservations! Thank you I work in a vet clinic during the day but my husband is home and keeps ur fur kid(s) company while I’m at the hospital I have a fenced yard and there is usually someone home most the day with ur fur child. When left alone we do what u do at home. If that means a kennel then we do. If that means just hanging out on the couch we do it
“Anastassia is amazing!! She is very communicative, she set up a meet and great immediately and she is a natural with animals, knowing immediately how to work with the quirks and behaviors of our dog. She took our dog for a walk and was proactive about her needs including thinking to bring a water bowl. Our baby was nice and tired when I got home from work, I could tell she loved her new friend. Will definitely use Anastassia again!!”
“Alina took care of my cat on a very short notice following my instructions explicitly. My 17 year-old cat trusted her on our second vacation coverage to our house which is good enough for me as she is quite picky.”
About: I have had at least 3 pets my entire life, and that was at my parents' house. I have pet-sat for numerous friends and family members. I have cared for dogs ranging from puppies to senior cuties! I currently have 1 cat at my mom's, 2 dogs, and a cat at my dad's. I am very comfortable with animals, and I am always making sure that they are being taken care of and are having a fun time! I am currently working part-time, usually closing shifts, which are normally 5-9 pm. So I have plenty of time to play with your pets:) I have grown up with pets my whole life, and I am committed to providing a safe and fun environment. My number one concern is your pets:)
“Johnna is an amazing pet sitter. I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to know that she is the one in our home taking care of our beloved pets. I feel very fortunate to have found her.”
About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteer at shelters and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds as well as bully breeds. I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience consists of volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.
About: Hello! My name is Laura and I'm 38 years old. I grew up in the country and my mother had a dog grooming studio in our house. I have always loved animals and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, ducks and horses. As an adult, I have worked at animal shelters and for private rescues. I have fostered dogs in my own home, many of whom were neglected and needed a sensitive touch. I currently have 3 rescue dogs of my own, one of whom has kidney disease. I give medication and IV fluids three times a week for her at home. I am available for dog walks/hikes, pet sitting and am comfortable with a wide range of breeds. I am reliable, caring and will treat your pet like they are a member of my own family. I currently work nights, part-time in the restaurant industry which gives me plenty of free time during the day to care for your furry family member(s)! I tailor each experience to match your pets needs. I am up for anything including, long walk, adventurous hikes, leisurely strolls, playing in the back yard, snuggling on the couch and more. I am happy to spend whatever time and energy your fur baby needs!
“Felicia was absolutely incredible! I was nervous because our dog does not usually like strangers, but Felicia's countenance and love of animals won our Pyraness over instantly. I am so very grateful to have found Felicia. She went above and beyond....she even came over at the last minute for a meet and greet as it was a last minute booking. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“So grateful to Travis and his flexibility, from a quick meet and greet to a change in the scheduled time. He arrived promptly and spent quality playtime with Buster. Great communication and response. We can't wait to use Travis again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alder Creek
I would hire Betty again! My cat tends to be shy with strangers and hides. I was worried she’d spend the whole time I was gone hiding in the closet. But Betty was patient with her and her kind energy won my cat over. She eventually let Betty pet her and play with her. I got pictures and updates every visit. It meant so much that I could go on a trip and not worry about my cat.
Amber was great with the boys, sometimes when drop-in visitors left, the boys whined because they didn’t get enough interaction or attention. The boys remained calm after she left, so I know she loved on them as if they were her own, played with them, gave them puzzles, meds, etc. Amber is great! Would absolutely recommend her.
Auva was absolutely wonderful; she was open with circumstances, provided ample pictures of my cat, and, over the course of the catsit, managed to coax said cat into her lap, which he has done only for two other people, myself included. I came back to him physically content but annoyed that either I had been away or that Auva was now gone. I hope for my sake that it is the former. Send her your cats. (Send her to your cats?)
Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.
Kerrigan is great! She took care of our 2 cats, who never make themselves seen when someone comes to the house, and even managed to send pictures!! She didn't have a problem doing a few extra tasks (asked ahead of time) and was very communicative. I think we found our new petsitter!!
Madison was amazing! When she first met Benji Muffin she bonded right away. She was caring, compassionate and careful with my older beloved dog. She was respectful in my home and I trust her completely. I enjoyed receiving her pictures and it put me at ease during my vacation. I could tell right away that she really enjoyed what she was doing. I think Benji Muffin misses her.

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.
