“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”
“Allie is a god send for me. My animals love her. She is very caring and I trust her with my animals completely which has always been tough for me. I am so thankful for her.”
“Very communicative and friendly with the pups. She helped me remove a towel I had placed on top of cage for sun protection but cooper got ahold of it. We booked her last minute because our brother in law who normally takes them out couldn’t. Sanji and cooper loved the company and freedom away from their kennel while their still training puppies. Thank you again Rachel for your communication, feedback, and help!”
“We have used Michelle several times now for in-house visits to care for our cat, Luna. Every time it has worked out splendidly. Our cat is usually very shy and timid around "strangers" but she immediately took to Michelle. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and we appreciate the regular photos and status reports. Being separated from your pet can be stressful but we feel much better knowing that Michelle is there and we're sure Luna does too.”
About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.
About: I graduated from FAMU with a bachelor’s in Animal Science and am a vet technician so you can say that i truly do have a passion for animals. I’ve always loved and have been known for loving animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with lots of animals and pets. I’ve had 5 dogs, including the 4 year old Australian Shepherds I currently have. I also used to have too many to remember amount of cats. Pet care fits very easily into my daily schedule. I currently have open availability, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for feeding, walks, exercise, enrichment, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also flexible with timing and can adjust my schedule based on the pet’s normal routine. I am a vet technician so I have experience in medically caring for animals and noticing when something is off. I treat every pet like they’re my own!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and it’s truly something I love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with both energetic dogs and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also understand how important routines are, so I follow instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week, including weekends. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s usual routine. I’m a pet parent myself and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and personality. I will follow your feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I am capable of handling dogs of many different sizes and ages. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in property where dogs can either run around freely or be kept on a least. At my home your pet receives near round-the-clock supervision since I am a stay at home parent My schedule is dedicated to pets nearly 100% of the time since I am a stay at home mother. I have three dogs of my own of varying sizes and ages, all with different needs that I maintain as part of my daily routine. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard so your dog can run free (though I am happy to keep him on a leash if you are more comfortable). Dogs in my home are generally allowed to climb on furniture or sleep in the bed, but I also have crates available for dogs that may prefer to sleep in one. I have baby gates throughout my home to separate dogs as needed (for example a gate between carpeted and hard floors for dogs who might have potty problems)
“I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!”

About: Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and other animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work part-time at the BGCA, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends from 8 AM to 10 PM and weekdays from 4 PM to 10 PM (with some exceptions on weekdays). Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or spending more time with your furry friend, I’m flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I am caring for pets at my home, I have a fenced yard with a gated lanai where your pets can safely run around. I also have two friendly dogs who can be separated from yours if needed. They love to play and would make great companions if your pet enjoys socializing.
About: I truly love animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including puppies. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays depending on your needs. I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where every pet is treated like family. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I have been caring and having a love for animals at all my young life it has taught me everything I need to know on how to handle and show love to cats and dogs! I will love and care for your animals just like I do mine they are my 3rd and 4th furbabies🐶🐱. I occasionally weekend sit for a golden retriever , we go on walks , snuggle and watch movies and play. I do have multiple references as well. I can do weekend sleepovers daily visits and you saying that is needed to keep the family at peace while they are out of town. I have administered vitamins and cbd oil to a few dogs for anxiety, storms etc. Thank you for your time! I do have multiple dog/cat families that I care for. I also have 6 cats at home that I care for. Currently this is what I do for work. I mostly take care of your pets in your home that way your animals are comfortable in their own setting. Especially if you have a dog and have a fenced yard,I find that more helpful.

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 .

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 use the 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.
