About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and am currently a proud pet papa to four dogs, one cat, and two guinea pigs—all rescues! Caring for animals with different personalities and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience, patience, and an understanding of how important consistency and trust are. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I give my own. After making the decision to return to school as a non-traditional student, I have open availability with the exception of Mondays and Wednesdays, as though are the days I take classes. I can work with your schedule to accommodate you and your pets' needs. I do not offer pet care in my own home at this time, but my pets are truly part of the family and live in a loving, caring environment—if we have it, they have it! When caring for pets in a client’s home or taking them on walks, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, safety, and house rules. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I will treat each one with the same patience, respect, attention, and affection I give my own.

About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pup(s) get plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each pet is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pet’s needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each pet gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs, including my beloved Husky. I have experience teaching basic commands, off-leash skills, and potty training. Through training my dogs, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I understand that every dog has a different personality and learning style, and I enjoy helping them feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I would treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I’m comfortable providing loving care, keeping pets safe, following their routines, giving them attention and companionship, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I’m also responsible and attentive to details, so I will carefully follow any instructions you provide about feeding, walks, medications, or other special needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away and make sure their pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m available Monday-Thursday, and Friday-Sunday after 3pm. I'm a pre-nursing student and I work during the weekends but if boarding during weekends are needed, please feel free to message me. Wai (co-sitter) will also be available to assit with sitting during weekends. I can fit pet care into my schedule and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and companionship they need. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. In my home, I will provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I will make sure doors and gates are secure and keep a close eye on pets to help prevent accidents or unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I will treat their home and belongings with respect and keep them updated on how their pet is doing.

She was extremely attentive, affectionate and kept us updated with detailed messages and photos. We have never been more relaxed leaving our dogs! Bree is a wonderful dog sitter.

About: I loved animals since I was young and have experience caring and sitting for them, whether it be dogs or cats. I have experience dog and cat sitting for my friends and family for years, and believe every animal should get the love and respect they deserve! As a dog mom to my own Maltipoo, Mochi, I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and patience as I would my own :) * I have hands on experience administering insulin injections for diabetic cats. I have experience pet sitting for my friend's cat, Kiwi, such as changing her food and water bowls, cleaning out the litter box, and making sure to follow vet specific medication and insulin routines. * I have experience walking dogs of all breeds, from small pups to larger, stronger breeds. I make sure collar and leashes are secure before walking, and I am attentive to them during and after walks. * I ensure to follow feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and household rules to keep your pet's routine consistent! I make sure to clean and change water and food bowls, clean up messes in the backyard and/or litter boxes, engage in lots of play times, and have experience giving dog baths when requested. * I pay close attention to each pet's body language, distinct personalities, and individual energy levels to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I also make sure to give speedy updates to owners with pictures and messages :) I currently have open and flexible availability and will do my best to adjust to your availability and schedule :) From mid-day walks to strict feeding times, I would be able to provide tailored pet care times. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for animals, I want to make sure they feel secured and well loved by double checking harnesses and collars before every walk and stay fully aware of our surroundings, adjusting my handling depending on your dog's size and energy. I also make sure to bring drinking water if requested. I also make sure all doors, gates, and windows are locked during visits so pets stay safe indoors, along with regular updates and photos during visits and/or walks!

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have my own cat, Button, whom I love dearly and have taken care of pets for my friends lately. I am in between jobs so I am free to work with whatever schedule you have. If you have leftover food that needs to be used, I’d be happy to not let them go to waste. I prefer to care for your pets in their home territory. I am very easy going and happy to follow any instructions you have for me.

About: I was raised with dogs in my family and I am a dog mom of over 15 years and a dog grandma for over 10 years! I have raised various breeds and feel confident caring for your loved ones. I am available for your pet sitting needs. Feel free to reach out with your request and remember to specify any need-to-knows for your fur baby! My dogs are home trained and show great independence. I love to play with their toys and snuggle with them. I have two terriers of my own who have their own bedroom so I can ensure separation of space as needed. I have a large living room and a patio the dogs can also hang out in. I am happy to travel to your space or welcome your dogs into my home.

About: Animals have always been my passion, and with 17 years of hands-on experience, I’ve seen it all…from high-energy puppies to independent cats and senior pets who need extra love. My day job as a therapist means I don’t just care for your pet’s physical needs; I’m an expert at reading their unique personalities and managing their emotional well-being (and let's be honest, sometimes a little separation anxiety is real!). Whether your fur baby needs special diets, medication, or just an aggressive amount of belly rubs, I’ve got it covered. Expect plenty of photo and video updates while you're away so you never miss a beat! Pet care is currently my main focus as I navigate pursuing my career goals. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care and can structure my day according to look after the pets in my care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m open to collaboration in adjusting my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. Creating a safe and trusting environment for the pets I care for is my top priority. I start by taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Building trust begins with patience and gentle interactions, allowing the pet to approach me at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and calming techniques to ensure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in my care. Communication with pet owners is also key—I make sure to keep you informed with regular updates, so you know how your pet is doing and can share any specific needs or changes. By combining attentive care, consistency, and open communication, I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and confident in my presence.

About: Over the years I’ve cared for family and friends dogs, whether it’s dog sitting overnight, stopping in to check on them, or even taking Number for walks. My dog loves to go on walks and I know how much happier she is when you get a few in each day. You’re working, recovering from an injury, have a busy sports day schedule or taking a day trip. I need someone to make sure your pump gets a walk. I would love to be a person for you. Late afternoon into the evenings, with Thursday most regular time available, as well as some Friday, Saturday, and Sunday available. During the summer and holiday breaks, I have more availability as my schedule permits. Your pets is my priority during our time. I will make sure to follow your expectations and communicate any issues that arise. Trusting someone with your family member as well as to your home is the Atmos importance. As a teacher in my day job, I love dedicating my time to enriching the lives of my students and supporting their needs. The same will be true for your pup

About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

About: I am a long-time animal lover, animal advocate, and animal welfare professional. I've had animals all my life, have volunteered for numerous animal groups, and have worked for a national animal welfare organization for the past 20 years. I have fostered neonatal kittens and have had several special-needs cats in my lifetime. I know how to administer sub Q fluids, give insulin injections, trim nails, and more. While I am a cat owner, I love dogs equally and will give your dog the love and care he/she'd receive in your own home. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for while you’re out of town. Thank you for considering me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate most pet care needs. I am the mom to a teenage son, so I have lots of time on my hands and I’d love to spend my time giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I know a lot of people have specific instructions on how to care for their pet while they’re away, I adhere to all requests and rules, and make sure there’s lots of time for play and snuggles too.

About: Our three rescues recently traveled to the rainbow bridge after 13 years in our home. We are not ready to fill our home permanently, but are emotionally available to love on your babies while you’re gone. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have many years of pet sitting and house sitting including dogs, cats, fish, and bunnies. I know firsthand how expensive pet boarding is, not to mention stressful, so I am here to make traveling and being away easier. I work very part time and stay home with my kids, so I am available regularly and have an extremely flexible schedule for accommodating needs. We have a one story home with a large fenced in yard for safe exploring and sun bathing. Our home is currently pet free, so your pets would have full control of the place!

Erika is a perfect pet sitter--she is the absolute best. Completely reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and very caring. She is extremely thorough in reading instructions and following through on even the smallest details. My cat Melo absolutely adores her, and he doesn't trust many people--Erika is one of the very few that can entice him to come out immediately. She also provides a lot of pictures and thorough details about her visit. She takes care of household things like opening and closing windows, turning on lights, and collecting the newspaper and the mail. She is the best pet sitter I've ever used, and I feel really lucky to be able to rely upon her. I absolutely recommend her 100% and know that when she is taking care of Melo and my house, I can feel confident that all is well.

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.
