About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!
“Courtney checked in on our bubbas while we celebrated our wedding. She took them on a nice long walk and really tired them out for us. Gave us updates with each visit and it was so reassuring. 10/10 recommend”
“Claire was absolutely professional, responsive, and supportive with our request. Nothing is better than a sitter that’s understanding and responsive, 10/10 would recommend booking Claire if you need someone to watch your pets!”
“Nicole did an excellent job making us feel comfortable with our first Rover drop in. My big boy is a huge fan now! I highly recommend her because she will treat your fur baby like her own and her formal training is a huge asset.”
“Lucy was wonderful as always. She was able to do a last minute check in on my pups, and they adore her. She’s wonderful at communication and is a very patient person with both dogs and me!”
About: Available M 8a-11a, T 3p-8p, W 2p-8p, Th 2p-8p, F 8a-8p(most days). I have grown up and been around pets for the past 15 years. I love animals and have done dog walking/care for friends and family. It is fun being able to bond with animals of different ages and personalities! I am currently in school and have an ever changing schedule but still have a lot of spare time and am willing to work around things. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible! Whether that’s hanging out or running around, I will care for your pet like my own.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved taking care of them. My parents have an 8 year-old English springer spaniel who I’ve helped raise and care for since she was a puppy. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving dogs plenty of attention and love. I’d be happy to give your dog the same kind of care and attention while you’re away! I currently work part-time with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability during the weekdays. I’m generally available during the day while owners are at work. I consistently work Wednesday evenings from 3-8 PM. Otherwise my schedule is pretty flexible. I’ll always make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I’ll be mindful of traffic, other dogs, and their surroundings. For drop in visits, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your home is left the way I found it.
“Thank you so much for your drop in visits with our Sofia! You always send such a nice update with lots of photos! It is obvious that Sofia enjoys your visits when we are away at work, and it means so much to her and to us.”
“Kristin took great care of my two cats while I was gone! She followed all instructions very well and did a great job administering an inhaler to my cat with asthma which is not an easy task!”
About: I love running and enjoy it better with a running buddy! If you have a doggo that needs to release extra energy and enjoys running, let me know! I am working two part time jobs at the moment, but would love to build a weekly fitness routine that would also benefit a four-legged friend or two. Pets come first. I would make sure to respect their boundaries and pay attention details and to their personalities to ensure mutual respect and comfort.
“Kaelyn was great! Her availability was up to date which made hiring at the last minute easy. She played with our pets and took great care of them, I loved the photos! I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Allison was great! It was awesome getting photo updates while I was gone, and knowing that my cat Rajah was being cared for. Would love to use Allison again in the future when we’re out of town.”
About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!

Lucy was fantastic! I gave lots of instructions and she took it all as a note in her phone when we did a meet and greet. I have multiple animals but booked just for my puppy who is 4 months old and needed a break during the day while my partner and I were out. She still played with and cared for each of my animals, and took lots of great photos for us which was so appreciated! She truly went above and beyond for us and my babies, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much. Lucy. 🥹
Allison has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs! One of them is very sweet great dane that is also a big baby. She does drop in visits whenever family is out of town, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing they're being loved and well cared for. She sends updates and pictures every visit, communicates incredibly well, and is flexible and easy to work with. My dogs have completely different personalities, but she knows exactly how to handle both of them and treats them like family. I'm new to Rover, but after a few weekends with Allison, I wouldn't trust anyone else. I already have her booked again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional sitter!
Tim is a contentious cat sitter. My cats look forward to getting treats and wet food when he visits. He brushes them and plays with them in addition to the liter box duties. He checks the fountain for fresh water and makes sure the auto feeder has food. He lets me know if they have left hairballs, etc. he also turns on different lights every day. I recommended him to my sister. He spends about a half hour with them each visit so all the boxes are checked.
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Erinn was able to stop by today for a last minute drop in request. She spent some time with Buddy and took him on a walk in addition to the regular duties. She is very responsible, attentive and communicates so well. We look forward to being able to have her stay with Buddy in the future since we had to cancel her weekend booking due to a medical situation for me. She was very understanding!
I just utilized Michelle for a long weekend for my Lab for x3 visits per day. She is full of great energy! When we came home my lab was happy and acted like we’d been gone for a few hours instead of days! Michelle made the separation during a trip enjoyable for everyone. I will definetly look her up for future walks and drop in visits
Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apple Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
