“Tamera was amazing. I made a mistake and booked a week earlier than meant to and she was able to come by the same day. Super quick to reply and helped me with booking stuff because it was my first time using rover. My shy cat seemed to like her as well! Usually she hides from new people but Tamera was special”

“Reagan is amazing! She was so attentive to instructions for our elderly labradoodle who takes several medications throughout the day. Reagan was prompt to every drop-in time and super communicative. We came home to a reenergized dog who was clearly so very well taken care of!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!

“Heather is both professional and easy to work with as a human, and is truly adoptive of my fur kids, as well while spending time with them. My animals absolutely loved spending time with her and she took the time to care for both our geriatric princess and a precocious pup, exactly as they needed. I will definitely be keeping Heather on the short list, the list is exactly one name long. 🙂 10 out of 10 - would hire again!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have one cat with me at college and three more waiting for me at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I volunteer with the Humane Society and a local cat rescue, Comfort Cats, where I help care for cats in need. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means I prioritize reducing stress and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet. I’m currently on the pre-veterinary track in college, and my passion for animal health and welfare continues to grow every day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I also work at a animal rescue by the name of Final Victory in Columbia! I am currently a full-time college student, but I make it a priority to provide dependable care for every pet I work with. My class schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to follow your instructions and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver and pre-veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, compassionate care. I will treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I provide care at your home, so your pets can stay in their own familiar environment and routine while you’re away.

About: I have cared for family dogs and pets since I was nine years old, giving me over a decade of hands-on experience with diverse routines and temperaments. Currently working in hospital patient registration, I bring a Having a strong military background has given me a sense of responsibility, strict attention to cleanliness, and a calm, observant approach to every drop-in. I respect each home's established boundaries, focus on positive engagement and basic leash manners, and always make sure your pet gets fresh water, playtime, and reliable companionship while you are away. Pet care integrates cleanly into my weekly routine during morning and early afternoon hours, as well as select weekend windows outside my scheduled hospital shifts. Because I only take on drop-in visits within a close driving radius, I am able to arrive promptly at scheduled times, dedicate full attention to your pet without rushing, and easily plan recurring weekday check-ins or weekend coverage. I work every other weekend so there are times where I’m completely off and devoted to your pet :) I provide drop-in care exclusively in your pet's home, ensuring they remain in their familiar, secure environment. My background in healthcare reinforces my strict commitment to home security: double checking locked doors, securing gates, following exact feeding instructions, and keeping feeding and litter areas thoroughly sanitized. During every visit, I send detailed check-in notes alongside clear photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind while away.

“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all different sizes, energy levels, and personalities since I was 9 years old. I grew up in a home with six dogs, including an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, English Bulldog, Husky, Pitbull mix, and Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and their individual needs. I recently moved into my own apartment and now have an Australian Shepherd puppy of my own! I’m experienced with walking, bathing, feeding, playing with, and comforting dogs, and I truly love making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a nurse, so my schedule can vary from week to week, but I always try and keep my Rover availability updated! I’m available most weekdays. If I am working I am available after 7pm. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I provide personalized care based on your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, bathing, and medications if needed. I’ll follow any specific instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to whatever works best for your pup!

On short notice, I was able to get Aaron to watch my housemate and friend for an extended visit this time. Once again, I came back to a happy cat - of course for the first 12 hours he meowed at me at how good Aaron was and why did I come back ... he loves his spa service: daily fresh litter box, water and food.

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.
