“Mia took great care of my two kitties while I was on vacation. I was nervous using Rover for the first time, and she ensured it was a great experience. Would recommend!”
“Lindsey was amazing with both of my dogs! She kept us updated on everything and we got tons of pictures while we were away. We even got a report card at the end of her services. It was so cute! Will definitely reach out to her again for future services 😊”
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I’m your girl. I have been working in the animal field for the past 11 years. I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids. While you enjoy your time away your baby will be able to enjoy cuddling on the couch watching tv or running outside in my fenced yard with my 2 goofballs. My goal is to make sure your baby is well taken care of and comfy so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I currently work full time at the hospital. I have plenty of time in the mornings and after work to care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company! I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!
About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve worked at both the zoo and the Louisiana Nature Center as an educator and animal caretaker, where I helped with training and husbandry for a variety of animal ambassadors. At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)
“Jourdan was absolutely amazing! She made sure to let me know of anything that is going on with my animals. She sent us updates every single day. My dogs took very well to her. I have a dog who is timid around other humans and she handled her with so much care.”

About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I’ve been taking care of my animals and others’ animals from a young age. I have a range of experience- with puppies and kittens, administering medication, unique personalities, special needs, and more. Whether its a high energy dog or a nervous and shy cat or anything in between, I have seen it all! I am flexible and willing to help in any way I can! Currently not boarding at the moment since I am moving into a new space soon. I can go home for lunch during the week and am free all evenings and weekends. Since I am in the process of moving to a new space, I am not boarding at the moment. I am usually available for boarding on weeknights after 4p and full days on the weekends. Your pet is my priority whether I am at your place or mine. When staying at your place, I will always try to leave it neater than when I came across it. Whether its replacing batteries in your ring camera or letting the service man come in, I am available to help you in anyway you need when something unexpected occurs while you're out. Any animals staying at my home are made to feel comfortable and safe; my home becomes their home!
“I had a great experience with Leanne (drop-in visits, 2 cats). She provided consistent updates with prompt, reliable communication and left the house better than she found it. Will look to book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a lifelong animal lover and proud Golden Retriever mom. I’ve raised my Golden giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, exercise, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own by providing reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I am currently on break from Respiratory Therapy school, and I have plenty of free time during the week. My golden is very active so I’m always prioritizing getting home to play with my baby! I know how hard it is to find help being busy, so while I have time I want to be that person for others! I have a fenced in backyard with a very friendly Golden who would love play dates! If you would rather me come to your house, I love taking long walks and am very used to playing with toys in the house to try to burn all of that energy! I will give your pup the same attention I give my own❤️

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.
