“This was our first time using a sitting service and the idea of having a stranger in our home to care for our fur babies gave us a lot of concern. Megan instantly put us at ease during the meet and greet with her confident and gentle approach plus years and range of experience. Each of our pups has unique needs and Megan followed all of our instructions to the letter. She was right on time for each visit, very responsive to my check-ins, and kept us updated with photos. We will 100% be using Megan for our future sitting needs.”
“Been using her for almost 2wks now for drop in visits and she’s been great! I’m so appreciative of her care for my granny dog. I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of a stranger being in my house, but this is the only option I have right now. She is putting me at ease with this so far! 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of animals dogs and cats since little around 10 years old for my neighbors/parents friends/ family’s and referrals. They have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, stick to schedules and love their fur babies as if they were my own. I have trained all my dogs and family members dog basic commands while also introducing new animals to each other. I have worked with puppy’s adult dogs even prior abused dogs that need a little bit more patience and care. I care for these animals as if they were mine to make sure they get the most love and attention. I’m currently working from home with my own schedule, I’m available every day of the week for boarding, drop ins, walks or whatever your needs may be! I live in a town home with my husband no kids we have a gated community with a gated court yard out front but would be going on walks with three dog parks in the community for off leash play time. If coming to your home I will follow whatever instructions are given to me to care for your animals and respect your home as much as I would for mine. I would keep my two dogs separate from yours unless advised otherwise! Kennels are welcome if needed but we have plenty of toys and enrichment toys to keep them busy!
About: I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give plenty of walks, playtime, belly rubs, cuddles, and treats (with owner approval, of course! ). I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. 🐾 I’m a dog-loving mom with a flexible schedule and plenty of love to give! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll do my best to work around your pup’s routine Your pup’s safety and comfort always come first! I have a safe, clean, and loving environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible
“Rachel was very attentive and sent so many good photos. She kept me updated and help kept my peace of mind while I was gone. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their cats.”
About: With 20+ years of being around dogs & their wide spectrum of personalities I have learned to just approach every situation with grace, respect, kindness With dogs of my own I can say it is a everyday thing for myself. Wether that be grooming or just the simple poop scoop. Feeding schedule is a major one. In a home with plenty of room in the backyard along with a dog door to allow more freedom for potty breaks. And plenty of water. Scheduled feedings as well.
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, I had to learn how to take care of them, pick up, feed/bathe them. I currently have 1 dog at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have lots of time through the day after I drop my daughter off at school until I need to pick her up again. When summer break comes I will have more time. My dog is on the senior side she is 12. We try to play with them at home or the dog park or they enjoy laying around napping and sunbathing, sometimes they like too go on walks, we also give them baths at home.
About: I have had the blessing of owning dogs my entire life and so I’ve done a variety of services from feeding to walking to playing to potty training to even helping momma with her babies. I also have experience working in a animal hospital and so I am always making sure to care for all animals cautiously and safely. Always protecting the fur babies and creating a loving and safe environment. I currently own 1 fur baby and so pet care is in my daily routine and just always been a part of my life, it’s second nature at this point. I always make sure to maintain my fur babies with their nails, baths and brushing their hair. As well as paying attention to their diets so they’re getting well nourished and always getting in their daily exercise. Please keep in mind I do work full time myself , I have Wednesdays off as well as weekends All I want is to be able to provide a safe and fear free experience for both the owner and pet. I personally know how scary it can be to leave you pride and joy with a stranger and be anxious the entire time you’re out. Well I want to provide that security for the owner and take care of your beautiful animal the very best I know I can do with anything that the animal needs, I also know how to administer medication whether it be eye medication , tablets and even injections. I will also always include a pre interview for the owners when booking a service so that you can have the decision of keeping the service or canceling it.
About: I was a dog bather for the four years and loved every minute of it, I love all animals and enjoy spending time with them and taking them for walks and just having as much fun as we can. I have had three dogs in my 39 years, two pit bulls and a lab pit mix so I know how much work dogs are and how much time they need out playing. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I will be able to give your pets the same amount of love and care that they need and deserve. I will make sure your pets get enough exercise, by taking them for walks and to play at the park, and help keep up with any and all training they need.
“Carla is amazing!!! She has done a drop in visit for my two doggies. She was gentle, caring and playful with both of them. I appreciate her kindness and all of the amazing pictures she took of our babies. I recommend Carla to anyone that needs someone to care for their pets. I will definitely have Carla return to care for my fur babies.”
About: I've had small dogs growing up. I've had cats for 10 years. I volunteer at Homeward Bound Cat Adoption. I socialize with the cats so I can help them find their forever home. I volunteer three days a week and I own my own business. Both are flexible, I can set my own schedule to accommodate your needs. I will take care of your pets however you do. If you need dog walking, play time, lap time. When I volunteer, I like reading to the cats so if your pets need any kind of conversation, I am there. I'm learning how to bottle feed, where I volunteer, so if you need that, I can do that as well. Meds we can discuss.

“Carrie has been an absolute life saver! I recently adopted a 6 month old puppy and was looking for someone that could work with my work schedule since I work long hours at night. Carrie always replies quickly, works perfectly with my schedule and any sudden changes, and she treats Don Julio so well and is always keeping me updated with pictures and what they get up to. This was my first time using rover and Carrie has made it so easy and not stressful at all. I will continue to book her in the future”

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.
