“Sharyn gave us a great first time experience using rover. She was very orderly and communicative; providing us with day-to-day updates, messages, and photos of our cats. Our cats were well taken care of and she got along with them all, including our temperamental little boy. I would recommend choosing Sharyn to watch over your loved ones while you're out of town.”
“Jeffrey was on time and very attentive to our dog. We greatly appreciated his updates and photos. His reliability and caring for our dog gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: Many years of Dog Care Experience I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, I have provided loving, dependable care, including feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering medications, and maintaining each dog’s daily routine. I understand that every dog is unique and requires patience, attention, exercise, and affection. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs with special needs. My priority is always to keep dogs safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for. With four decades of experience, I treat every dog as if they were my own and provide the reliable, compassionate care every pet deserves. I’m a loving, kind, and compassionate person who truly enjoys caring for others. I’ve been a proud grand-dog parent to three wonderful dogs for the past 8 years. My years of experience have taught me the importance of patience, kindness, responsibility, and giving plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog as part of the family and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pet. Pets can feel safe and relaxed as I will follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is in good hands, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care and peace of mind for every pet parent.
“Abigail is absolutely wonderful!! She’s patient and calm with my dog who is wary of strangers. She has been incredibly flexible with my schedule and is very reliable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.

About: Hello! My name is Victoria and I am a part time college student, full time animal lover. I have had pets all my life (dogs, a cat, fish, hermit crabs, and a bunny) and have yet to meet an animal I don’t love. Aside from my own pets, I have cared for (overnight stays, walks, daytime drops ins) for friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. Being that I only go to school part time, I have more time to spend with and care for my dog, and hopefully your furry friend too. I have personal experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as big as pit bulls and do not discriminate against any of them. On top of that, I have experience with dogs as young as two months old. I look forward to working with you and your furry friends!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Applegarth
Sharyn was an amazing caregiver for our two cats one of whom is diabetic and needs insulin injections. She gave us details about how they were doing during check ins and lots of cute pics. She even offered to take out our garbage on garbage day and brought in some packages that arrived while we were gone. We would highly recommend her and hire her again in a heart beat.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
