About: I have taken care of many animals! From dogs to cats, even horses and goats. I have always had a pet and love to snuggle! I currently work full time. But have flexible days off so just reach out and let's see how we can work together to make your life easier owning a pet! I am happy to offer supervised yard time and walk your pets on leash if you would like! I will stick to your schedule, and what you prefer!
“Took amazing care of my kitties and I highly recommend her. She was very thorough, sent me updates throughout the week. There was a slight health scare and she was very mindful and helpful throughout the process. 5/5”

About: I have taken care of my family's 3 dogs for most of my life. I am often responsible for feeding and cleaning up after them, assisting with vet appointments, and general care and grooming. I grew up with small dogs who are now seniors, but I have spent a lot of time with friends'and family members' dogs of all sizes and ages. I have pet sit for family friends in the past and enjoy getting to spend time with their dogs, too I am a full time undergrad student, but half of my classes are online so I am free to pet sit most of the week! I am only busy with in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday, between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. I am happy to assist in any way, and I will make myself available to take care of your pets. 😊 I am eager to help care for your pets in whatever ways they need! I can be there to feed, walk, play or anything else.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a dog of my own that I trained myself, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special needs, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys having a playmate, mine would love to join them for walks or playtime (with your approval, of course!). I’m a flight attendant, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend my time when I’m home. I’m typically home about half of each month, and during those days I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and work around their normal routine. I have experience caring for pets both in my home and in their own, although I generally prefer caring for them in their familiar environment whenever possible. I can administer basic care, crate pets if needed, provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and even trips to the park if that’s something they enjoy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a flight attendant so this is a great job for when I am not flying which is normally about half the month. When I am home I have practically uninterrupted time so I can work around what kind of care you are needing. I am very familiar with watching dogs in their own home and my own but would prefer it be in their own home. I can crate them if needed, walk, play, and or take them to the park if they enjoy that.
“Would not hesitate to use Scott again for the care of my dog. Excellent communication regarding his drop in visits with a super energetic and enthusiastic demeanor when interacting with my dog. Highly recommend. Super reliable, even when traveling in a snow storm, to care for my pet.”

“I knew my cat was in good hands with Joann. She was very understanding with me worrying about my cat being lonely while I was away and followed the care instructions I left including lots of play time! Joann also checked in to see if there was anything she could help with while I was away like watering plants. She is also just a pleasant person and I would happily book her again.”

About: I have been around small and large pets to farm animals since a young age. This has allowed me to be very aware of animals needs and acquire adequate knowledge to care for them. More than just A job, I genuinely love spending time with animals. I am a student and work part-time as a waitress. Working with animals allows me to be active, have a flexible schedule, and connect with animals. I love exploring new trails with dogs, cuddling with cats, and having a safe, active, loving space while caring for all fur babies. I love spending time with animals as it gets me out and about and active! I love coming home with an animal that feels like they got all of their zoomies out! I am always very attentive and observant of new animals. I make sure to always ask about behavior and make sure I accommodate any concerns. It’s a priority to make sure animals are safe and well cared for.

About: Hi I'm Jenna! I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with dogs and cats and fostering pups in college. I’m a farmer by trade, so caring for animals and being outdoors is second nature to me. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking or riding my bike. I love to take dogs on long walks making sure your dog can sniff all of the fun things while getting the exercise they need. I’ll treat your pets like part of the family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care! I also walked dogs throughout high school and college :) I have experience administering medication to animals of all sizes (both orally and injection). Animal body language is like a second language to me! I work full time Monday-Thursday so usually open Friday-Sunday. I would be open to walks on Thursday’s early early morning (farming starts early!) or after work around 7 pm. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free! In a your home, I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while keeping the space clean. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and outdoor time, especially for dogs who need regular walks and stimulation. In my home, they’ll have a safe, calm environment with lots of supervision, structured routines, and plenty of time outside for fresh air and activity. With my background working with animals on a farm, I’m very attentive to behavior, health, and overall well-being, so I can quickly notice and respond to any changes. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I love all types of animals. Have had pets my entire life. I will care for all pets as if they are my own with the same love and affection. I enjoy going on long walks for those with high energy so the dogs will get a good exercise in. Since I’m home all day pet care is naturally in my daily routine. I have flexible availability, so I can provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m always around to ensure pets are safe happy and loved. In my home, I prioritize a safe environment with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. I ensure they have freshwater regular playtime and a calm routine. Safety is always top of mind. In Client homes I follow their routine closely, ensuring trust and comfort for both pets and owners.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born a truly love all animals. I see them as our companions who deserve the best all the time! With me you can expect any amount of activity for your furry family member; short walks, long runs, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I work from home so I have total availability to be there for your pet whenever and for however long you need! I work from home and love animals; so I can make any schedule work. Need me for 1 hour every day? Done. Need me all day for a week? Done. I have a fairly flexible schedule meaning walks can be sprinkled in throughout the day. I usually goto the gym or on a run after work and can use this time for longer walks/runs/hikes. I believe all animals should be treated with trust and respect; nobody knows your animal better than you. So please give me any guidance and advice as to how to make their time apart from you as safe, and comfortable as possible.
“Brianna was amazing with our puppy, Sesame. She offered to meet the day before which was super helpful to us. She even gave us great local recommendations! She sent lots of pictures, gave a detailed report, and we came home to a very sleepy happy pup. Thank you Brianna!”

About: With 25 years of experience working with animals, including 20 years dedicated to animal welfare, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to caring for your pets. I have extensive experience working with fearful and anxious animals and am certified as a Fear Free Handler. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and birds, and understand that these animals often have very specific routines and care requirements. I’m highly experienced in administering medications, including injectable, oral, ear, and eye medications. You can feel confident knowing that your pet’s routine and medical needs will be handled with the same care and attention you would provide yourself. I also understand that taking care of your home while you’re away can be just as important as caring for your pets. Houseplant care is available, so you can come home to happy, healthy plants along with happy, well-cared-for pets. Most importantly, I know how much your pets mean to you—because my pets are my world, too. Nothing means more to me than giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and in loving hands. I do work full-time for an animal welfare organization, but caring for animals is more than just my job—it’s what I love. Your pets will always be a priority when they’re in my care. I’m able to schedule drop-in visits before and after my workday, as well as on my days off. I’m committed to working with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. The safety and well-being of your pets is always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for an animal in my home or visiting your home, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels so they feel safe and cared for. Caring for animals is something I’m deeply passionate about. I truly love every interaction I have with an animal—even if that interaction is simply sitting nearby and talking to them. I believe those little moments matter. Nothing brings me more joy than being surrounded by animals and having the opportunity to care for them. When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure, while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family.
“This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting. Emily was easy to communicate with and responsive, came the times I booked her for, and took good care of my girl Scarlet for two days. I would book her again if visiting this area in the future and recommend her services.”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I understand that dogs and other animals are more than just pets, they’re family. I love to run, so feel free to ask especially if you have a high energy pup. I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, whether we’re going on a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home. I’m comfortable with active dogs and love getting outside, so I’m always happy to help your pup get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, trustworthy hands! I am a full time college student who is also a volleyball player. I have a lot of free time out of the fall season. I am open a lot of breaks and off volleyball season. I have a dog named peanut in my home who is very friendly. I would love to get her another dog to have fun with. She does great at dog parks and loves both small and large dogs. I do kennel my dog because she is very hyperactive at night but I have never kenneled my other dogs at home. If your dog is house trained and doesn’t need to be kenneled there is no need for it. We have plenty of toys and I love taking the dogs to the dog park or on walks.
About: I have been dogsitting and dog walking for over 10 years, with experience from puppies, to mature senior dogs. My dog recently passed away, at the ripe old age of 12, so I am accustomed to accommodating elderly dog's needs. I love to run and hike, and having a dog come along is the best part of those activities! I am recent graduate with my MSW from Boise State and I am spending my summer in Central Oregon as I transition into a career job! I will be working part time (occasionally full time) at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp department, and would love to take your dog on outdoor adventures with me! I have my own vehicle that is well suited to transporting dogs to parks and trail networks. I can’t take dogs at my house, but would be happy to provide drop in visits and longer outings throughout the week. I will be working at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp program, usually about 20-35 hours per week, so I might have some flexibility in my schedule. Currently I cannot care for pets at my home during this summer. I have my own vehicle and can visit homes to care for dogs in the central Oregon area.
About: I have experience caring for dogs by regularly watching my friends' and neighbors' pets while they're away. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I've grown up around dogs my entire life, so I'm familiar with different personalities and routines. I have full availability to watch your pups whenever needed since I'm home for the summer from the University of Arizona and am not currently working. I'm studying Human Development and Family Science with a minor in Psychology, and I'd love to spend my summer caring for dogs. It would be a fun and rewarding way to stay busy while giving your pups plenty of attention and care! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who would love to keep your pup company! I've grown up around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and gets lots of love, attention, and playtime while they're with me! 😊
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from my own pets to helping neighbors with theirs. Every pet is treated like family, and their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ve recently discovered a passion for dog grooming and am happy to offer basic grooming services, including bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, deshedding, and nail trims for dogs that are comfortable with them. My goal is to help your pet look and feel their best while making grooming a calm and positive experience. I’m also working with an experienced dog trainer to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior, handling, and training techniques. In addition, I’m currently pursuing certifications in pet first aid, CPR, and professional pet care so I can provide the highest level of care and peace of mind for every family I serve. Dog Walking: My dog-walking service is a special opportunity for my 16-year-old son, who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury and working hard to earn his own spending money. He has grown up around animals and genuinely loves spending time with dogs. All walks are supervised and coordinated through me, and if you prefer that I personally handle every walk, I’m always happy to do so. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, grooming, or loving care while you’re away, they’ll be treated with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own pets. Pet care has become one of my greatest passions. My primary focus is now caring for my family, completing my dual bachelor’s degrees, and providing loving, dependable care for pets. My husband works from home, so one or both of us are almost always here to provide companionship and supervision. We also have two teenagers who absolutely adore animals and love giving our furry guests extra attention, playtime, and affection. Our home is filled with love, and we understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet enjoys adventure, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet spot, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced side yard with a doggy door, allowing dogs that are comfortable using it easy access for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time throughout the day. If your dog has a different routine, I’m happy to follow your preferences. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime with me, my family, and our friendly dogs (if appropriate). We also provide two enjoyable walks each day, along with lots of affection, enrichment, and attention. Of course, treats are always given according to your instructions, dietary preferences, and any allergies or restrictions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

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.
