“Sam cares so much for our dogs. She noticed one had some “yuckies” under his arm. So when she came back, she brought wipes and coconut oil. So thoughtful! Terrific service!”
“Osvaldo did a great job with my cats. They warmed up to him throughout the week and everything was taken care of while I was gone to my expectations. I will be booking him again. Thank you!”
“Once again Samantha saves the day! She's so helpful and I appreciate her flexibility to help out with our pups, ducks and fish! Super grateful for her and she is definitely our go-to! Highly recommend! Thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of animals and walked dogs since I was a kid. I walked our family dog everyday and spent so much time with her and also took care of multiple neighbors cats and dogs. I haven’t had any dogs of my own as an adult but I have lived with many for years and took care of them as my own. I used to regularly provide pet sitting for my friends and family while they were on vacation. Currently I have one cat at home who is outside and inside. My schedule doesn’t always stay the same. I work as a massage therapist 3-4 days per week so most days during the week I am available in the morning/early afternoon and then have more availability later in the day. And I also have some weekdays off. I only care for pets at the clients home in the form of drop in visits and walks. I do not have pets come to my home.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. 🐾 While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet care! I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors while growing up. Before opening my own successful pet care business in Miami, I worked in professional boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. It was there that I learned bathing, deshedding, nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and coat care. More importantly, it inspired me to create something different—a true home away from home where pets receive personalized, one-on-one care instead of spending their stay in a kennel. Over the years, I built a successful pet care business in Miami, earning the trust of hundreds of repeat clients, families, professionals, and even celebrity clients. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, so your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, supervision, and companionship in a safe, cage-free home. I treat every pet like family and love sending daily photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved. As a little thank-you, every boarding currently includes a complimentary spa refresh before pickup with a bath (if needed), brushing, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, a nail trim (if tolerated), and a fresh spritz. I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our family! ❤️ I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, grooming, and loving personalized care every day 🤍 I provide a safe, clean, loving home environment with routine care, playtime, supervision, and attention tailored to each pet’s needs and comfort to give the best experience
About: Animals have been my guide and my great passion since childhood; caring for them is not a job for me, but my life's purpose. In my home, your pet will not only be safe, but will receive pure love, endless patience, and the deep respect they truly deserve. I dedicate my available hours entirely to my soul's purpose: protecting pets. My flexible schedule allows me to offer focused, deeply loving, and high-quality care. In my home: Overnight stays in a safe environment. At yours: Drop-in visits for feeding and walks. My promise: Photo updates and total peace of mind.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats of all sizes, and every animal is family to me. I work from home, so your babies will always be well cared for. My teenage daughter loves them just as much as I do. I work from home so your fur babies will be cared for around the clock. All of their needs will be taken care of in a timely manner and lots of time for cuddles! I do not have any animals currently as our “old man” recently passed over the rainbow bridge. I have a large fenced backyard for your dog to run around and play in. I love to go for walks and play with them in the backyard.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for families for several years, including overnight stays and in-home care. I've also grown up around both dogs and cats, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, and following detailed care instructions. I know being away from your pet can be stressful, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away. 🗓️ AVAILABILITY: Mon–Thurs after 5 PM • Fri–Sun open availability I’m available for evening care Monday–Thursday and have flexible/all-day availability Friday–Sunday! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a podiatry office as a medical assistant so my weekends and evenings are usually free and I have plenty of time to care for other pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I keep their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. For overnight stays, I make sure pets have company and feel comfortable in their own home while their family is away. I’m also respectful of the home and keep everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I want each pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Chris was wonderful! He took care of my dog at my home for 8 days. He showed up on time or early for every visit, stayed longer than required and did everything properly. My dog really likes him! I had to go out of town on short notice, and Chris came right over to meet us, and came back both morning and night to see her routine. He took very good pictures in the Rover app that reassured me that Bella was in good hands I highly recommend him!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!
About: Ever since I was little my family has always owned some type of animal. We’ve owned 4 English bulldogs, a cat, a hamster and 2 ferrets. Now, I myself own a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Franklin. I love taking care of all animals and making sure they get the proper care they need and more. I currently work about 30 hours a week. My schedule isn’t the same every week so depending on what time and days I work, I set aside time to make sure I can come and take care of any pets that need it, whether it’s on my days off, or before or after work. In my clients homes all pets will have clean fresh water and will be fed given the directions of the owner. The pets will also get plenty of exercise whether it’s playing in their backyard or going on a walk. Along with playing inside with their toys. I also make sure that pets feel comfortable in their own home and will make sure they get lots of love and attention.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aripeka
I highly recommend Samantha! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, my cat, and even my fish. It was such a relief knowing all of my pets were being well cared for while I was away. Samantha was dependable, caring, and attentive, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my pets. I came home knowing they were happy and well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Samantha watch them again!
Samantha was absolutely amazing! 💕 We were first timers using a pet sitting service, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was able to take care of Lucky, Sky, and Thumper VERY last minute while we were away on our cruise. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands. 🐶🐕🐰 She kept us updated and made the whole experience so much easier, especially since we were nervous about using a service for the first time. We came back to a clean home and peacefully sleeping pets. We are so grateful for her and would 100% recommend Samantha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucky, Sky, and Thumper! 🤍🐾 We will definitely be using her again!

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.
