“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for the cats and dogs of others since I was 15. Whether this be dog walking or drop in visits, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with reptiles and rodents! I have one cat of my own who is asthmatic, and I grew up with a cat and 3 dogs! I can properly handle rowdy dogs, leash pullers, and much more. I know how to work on basic commands such as sit and down if you are in the training process! I have a flexible class and work schedule. I’m in a prime area for fellow LSU students in need of pet care. As an early bird, I am more than open to waking up early for drop ins or dog walks, and I can always make time in the evening as well. If mid day stops are needed, I can definitely try to work it into my day! I can promise a clean and safe environment your pet will thrive in. I am extremely vigilant when it comes to the safety of both the animal and the home, and I am skilled (from experience) at ensuring the best experience for the pets and belongings as a whole. I have worked with harness trained cats and know the limitations they require! I’ve walked dogs of all leash types and am more than comfortable having fun in backyards and parks!
About: I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care, lots of playtime, and plenty of love. I'm experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I always keep pet parents updated for total peace of mind. I’m free all summer before I leave to college. However I’m interning every Thursday at a Vet clinic. I’m available to do a few visits a day if needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-safe environment, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Anika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog you’ve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+”
About: My pet-sitting rule? Your dog rules the house. Everyone's like "you shouldn't let the dog on the couch"... your dog could literally take out a loan in my name if he wanted to, I'm not telling him no! Beyond being their biggest fan, I’m super experienced with all kinds of dog care needs. Whether it's managing puppy chaos with consistent training routines or giving senior dogs the extra patience, gentle care, and meds they need, I've got it handled. You'll get constant photo updates and complete peace of mind while you're away! Being a college student basically gives me the ultimate flexible schedule! I’m not stuck in an office all day, so your pet becomes my official study buddy. Between classes, my calendar is totally wide open. That makes it super easy to stick strictly to your pet's routine—whether that's midday potty breaks, morning and evening walks, or sticking to strict meal/medication times. Basically, my routine revolves around studying and hanging out with pets, so yours gets all the love, walks, and focus they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus entirely on safety, routine, and respect for your space. I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while strictly following your guidelines for feeding, meds, and playtime. I take home security seriously, double-checking locks, gates, and windows, and I keep your living space tidy by cleaning up any pet messes or tracking right away. You can count on a spotless home, a happy pet, and plenty of photo updates while you're away!
About: I always have had dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and farm animals growing up. I’ve never had a time in my life where i didn’t have one or more pet. They are family! ❤️ I am also a server at a restaurant! My shifts are short making it very easy to care for dogs and their needs. I am able to let them outside every 4-6 hours on days I do work. I treat any & every animal with compassion, empathy, and like they are my own baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your pets needs (high energy, low energy, etc), I’m very understanding. I can also medicate if your pet needs medicine.
About: I have cared for and owned dogs almost my entire life. I have worked in best stores and worked in conjunction with vets. I may not know everything, but I know enough to care for animals in a compassionate manner. I currently have a lot of flexibility with my job, and I know what’s it is like not having enough time for my pets. So I am always eager to help. Your wishes are my command when it comes to your pets. I have pets of my own and I know the anxiety that comes with leaving them. I will do everything in my power to give your pets an enjoyable experience while respecting your wishes.
About: Have resided with small dogs such as yorkies up to large dogs such as cane corsos. Have also worked with K9s during my time spent working in airport cargo Im currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to my daily/weekly routine. Pet care is my #1 source of employment. I have a full sized car available for outings. I clean up well behind myself & respect other peoples space & boundaries. I follow any rules & regulations put in place for the good of the pet & integrity of myself
About: Hey everyone. My name is Benjamin. I just graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette this past spring with a bachelors degree in Informatics - Interactive Media Technology. I do have a full time job working at Home Furniture Company with an IT Tech team. I am still fairly available after work and on weekends. I have a brand new 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec, so I am very reliable when it comes to transportation from A->B. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats, 2 rats, and 1 leopard gecko. My dog is still in NOLA with my parents. His name is Beignet and is 13 years old. He is a Maltese-pomeranian. My favorite dog breeds are German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and border colllies. My favorite fat breeds are siamese and tabbies. I was walking a German Shepherd consistently for over a year and a half until Covid hit. Don't worry, I am vaccinated. Reach out if you think I'd be a good fit! I currently work full time 8am-5pm, but am still fairly free after work. I am usually free on the weekends unless I am out of town visiting family in Nola. I currently have an apartment with my significant other. We try not to have other animals inside since we have 2 cats. But I am always open to going to a client's home to take care of an animal.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and am now an Animal Science major. I also work in a veterinary hospital’s boarding department, caring for dogs, cats and other pets as well as helping with medications. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 12 PM, and I also have availability every other weekend. I work Wednesdays and Fridays, but I’m happy to coordinate care around those days when possible. I provide care in my home or clients’ homes. I have access to a dog park and prioritize pets’ comfort and routines with attentive care.
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals extensively for 10 years. I have both personal and professional experience working with companion and exotic animals. I have experience with senior, young, adult age animals. Currently, I work part-time at a dog daycare & boarding facility. Pet Care is apart of my everyday life - I have two dogs that I come home too. Moreover, I’m available through out the week & especially on weekends. I have a fenced in yard & gates that are extremely secure. All access points in my home and surrounding all have security cameras enforced.
“Johanna was great! Reliable, kind and calming. She sent several pics a day and it appears our pup was well cared for while we were gone, which was such a weight off our shoulders! Would love to have her as a sitter again in the future.”
About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
About: I have three huskies at home. Taking care of them requires a lot of attention, energy, and patience. (Heavy on the patience LOL) My boyfriend also has a boxer, so I have plenty of experience walking, feeding, and playing with large energetic dogs. I am always looking to walk, house sit, or just have a playdate with your fur baby! I am always willing to anything to provide a great life for our babies. Whether that is a walk, playing, or giving them their favorite treats! I keep safety and care for our babies by simply following the rules! If specific rules or instructions are placed ( ex: certain ways to feed your dog or cat) the. I follow them to a tee. Before letting dogs out I always look to see if there are any wild animals before letting them out. (One of my huskies brought me an opossum. Was not fun🙈) Small actions like these provide safety and protection for our fur babies.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Zoey (Bunny) took care of our two cats for a week. Bunny did a great job. They kept us informed with updates and pictures of the cats throughout the whole time we were gone and even took care of a few random house issues that came up while we were away! We would definitely recommend Bunny to anyone looking for a great cat sitter and we'll be using them again.

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.
