“Gabriela is hands down the best pet sitter around! She loves what she does and she gives us complete peace of mind. We know our animals are in the best hands! We use her regularly and can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
“Nicole watched over my German shepherd for a week and did couple of daily checks-in. She was very good with her communication and follow ups and took great care of Rio - who really enjoyed her company.”
About: I love running and long walks so if your dog is energetic, I will happily take them with me!! I live in a house with a large fenced in backyard and grass for your dog to roam around in and enjoy! I have a flexible schedule where I can work from home or drop by to check in on your pup! My housemate is also home often and many years of experience caring for dogs (and will happily provide belly rubs). Within your home, I understand every owner has their own personal preferences for how to take care of their pet so this is my highest priority. I make sure to leave the home as I came.
“What lovely people! Kim and Chris made time to keep our little dogtwe with hardly any notice, and certainly loved on her like she was their own. I feel so lucky to have met them and to have the option of both dog and humans meeting again soon”
About: Hi! I’m Mary, and I’ve always loved animals. I previously had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet when you can’t be there. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and boarding. I have a fully fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and I can accommodate pets with different energy levels and routines. Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, or just relaxing and getting extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of updates and photos, and treat your pet like family while they’re in my care. My goal is simple: to make sure you have peace of mind and your pet has a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work full time during the week, but pet care fits well into my schedule. I’m available for evening walks, drop in visits, and boarding. Weekends are especially flexible, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I always follow the routines and instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, medications, crate training, and exercise needs. I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and other small animals. Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets of all ages/ different needs when they are out of town. This includes administering meds, feeding, walking and most importantly, playing! Can’t wait to meet!🐾❤️ I'm very flexible when it comes to aligning with your pups schedules throughout the first half of the week! I’m typically available between 7-7pm. I pay attention to detail when it comes to checking in with your pup, making sure they are eating, meds are taken at appropriate times, walks are given, playing, and making sure they are going to the bathroom and not just sniffing around! Haha

My cats Mr. Nardwair and Miso will watch from a distance:) My home is very welcoming to all, even those with lots of hair. We have a doggy door to the outside( medium size or small dogs only). So your dog is welcome to the freedoms of coming and going easily from the shady grass of my backyard to the comforts of the couch. After a meet and greet to see if we all get along, I’m sure you will see we are a perfect fit to watch and care for your furry friend! Keri I’m a semi retired Homemaker so I have plenty of time for your furry loved one.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities and energy levels, from playful and active dogs who need lots of exercise to more relaxed pets who just want some company and cuddles. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding instructions, schedules, and household rules. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently working part time at a local restaurant and attending college online so I am always home and available to care for doggies! I have a fenced yard that is big and has lots of grass, including a dog run. I also have 1 friendly dog named snoop that loves to play.

About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.
About: I am not yet ready to have another pet of my own, so I get great comfort from sharing my love and affection with those families that need it. I have had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a horse throughout my childhood years. My love bug, a 140lb Rottweiler, was the best partner a young woman could have. It was very hard saying goodbye to him. I understand the amount of time, love and attention our pets require of us and I’m happy to be part of the team that can help reduce the concerns when apart or busy. I’ve dog sat at others homes. I’ve kept dogs with me at mine. I’m flexible and understand that each owner has their own unique preferences for the way they want their family member taken care of. I look forward to getting to know you and your loved one! I’m exploring my freedom from corporate life and currently have a lot of open time in my schedule. I’m looking to stay active and walking is a key part of that. I’d love to have a companion to get out and putting the miles on my step counter. I would prefer caring for your pet in a setting more familiar to them, their own home when possible. I know that each owner has unique standards that they want followed and I welcome having detailed instructions and information to follow. Outside of the guidelines that I might get, I’m happy to play, do some basic training, build the pet’s confidence and nurture with attention and affection.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve completed 503 hours of professional dog behavior and training education, as well as the AVBM Asia Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Master Courses in both 2024 and 2025. I’ve also completed basic and advanced senior pet care courses. This education has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior, body language, communication, and the needs of dogs at different ages and life stages. I use this knowledge to provide thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I’m currently changing my career path, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 3pm, and on all other days after 11am for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. For other times or special services, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. I’m passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, caring, and dependable, and my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. Safety, reliability, and communication are very important to me. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For pets staying in my home, I provide a clean, calm, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of individual attention. My community has plenty of grassy areas for walks and outdoor time, and I do my best to maintain each pet’s usual routine so they can feel at home.

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 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.
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 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.
