“Colleen took care of our three cats while we were away for a week and she did a phenomenal job. Colleen provided daily updates with pictures which meant a lot to us. Will rebook if Colleen is available whenever we travel again.”
“Robin jumped in last minute and took care of our dog after another sitter from this site no-showed. I really appreciated her prompt communication, professionalism and help. Thank you!”
“Cathy was great and based on the photos from our little guy’s visit, Chance the Puppy agrees! He clearly enjoyed the visit! Cathy was attentive and her level of communication with us was outstanding. She agreed to sit on short notice, (one day), and that’s clutch. We will definitely call Cathy again!”
“Ash is amazing! My Jefferson loves Her! She was very accommodating with my schedule and the weather setting back the drop in visit time. She even made him homemade doggie treats that he loves more than the ones I buy him! I will use her again any time! I highly recommend Ash for anyone’s fur babies!”
“Can’t say enough! From the meet and greet we knew we were a good fit!! Our boys fell in love with her? It was such a great feeling not to have to worry about ANYTHING while we were gone. Definitely will be our go to sitter for all our needs!”
About: I have a 16 year old Maine coon named Marv. He has hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease so I know what it takes to give your little buddy what they need! I had to give him daily medication and am comfortable doing the same for your pets. I have had dogs and cats in my household for almost my entire life. Your pets will love me. I've even convinced a pet turkey to love me! I am a full time student at Tri-County and am also taking classing during the Summer. I typically have full availability with the exception of my classes. My class schedule during the Fall 2026 Semester when I will be unavailable: Mon 2pm-4:30pm, Tues 8am-1pm, Wed no class, Thurs 9am-1pm, Fri no class. I also have a work-study job with flexible hours. I love to play with cats and dogs to keep them active. Walking dogs is a fantastic excuse for me to get some exercise and to hang out with a furry friend!
“I would give my full recommendation for Emily. She is one of the kind soul,.possibly one among millions we find people like that . She was very responsive and quite responsible in taking care of my pet. My pet loves her ❤️ . Thankss Emily for being there. May God bless you .”
“I can always count on Virginia when it comes to helping out and taking care of Nexus! The pictures and videos I received while I was away made my heart feel so much better. Nexus loves spending time with Virginia and I know she is in great hands! Definitely will rebook when needed!! 10/10!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for labs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend, which gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.
About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
“Kaitlin did an amazing job taking care of my boys while I was on vacation! Followed instructions well, didn’t hesitate to ask questions and made sure my boys were well cared for and comfortable while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough! She was also available when my other sitters were not. Definitely going to be booking her again!”
“Hannah was awesome with our cat Gracie. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to book her services again. It was nice to be on vacation and know that Gracie was being cared for. Thanks Hannah!”
About: Please reach out to discuss rates! I’ve been an animal lover since I’d first discovered them as a young child, it never mattered the type or size, I’ve always been drawn to them. I grew up in the PNW where I spent many years in 4-H, showing horses and participating in our local county fair. Last year we took the leap and moved to South Carolina with our 2 senior dogs, 4 cats, and bearded dragon, and have been loving how beautiful it is. Since our move, we have acquired 3 more cats that were picked up as strays, bringing our total to a whopping 7 cats! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels of dogs, as well as behavioral issues. One of senior dogs struggles with reactivity while on leash, and I make it a point to make sure he is always comfortable and safe while out. I also specialize in pets with special needs who may require a little extra attention and care. One of the kittens we took in is completely blind, amongst other things, and had required daily medication at times. She also suffers from behavioral issues which is why I’m so adamant on being patient with animals. They are learning every day, just as we are. If given the opportunity, I promise to treat your animals as I do my own, with love and grace. I’ve been blessed enough to have a very open schedule and can pretty much fit any time a pet may need into my day. Whether it be weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and have reliable transportation. The safety and comfort of your pets are my top priority and I plan to treat them the way I treat my own. I’m very mindful of securing doors and fences to insure your babies are safe and secure where they are supposed to be. I speak to all animals the way I would speak to a friend because I believe, while they may not be able to understand all the words, they can understand tone and intention.
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends puppies often, whether they’re big or small. I can administer any medications, give extra snuggles, really anything needed! I’m currently a college student at Greenville Technical College. Monday-Thursday I have one class each day til 11am, otherwise I’m completely free to take care or your pets! I care for pets in clients' homes by following their routines, providing playtime, walks, and all the love they need. I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while sticking to their usual habits.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through drop-in visits. During each visit I make sure pets have fresh food and water, let dogs out for the bathroom, and play so they feel comfortable while their owners are away! I have lots of free time in my mornings and evenings and have loved being able to pet sit for families in my church so I thought it would be a fun way to fill my time! I have followed well what instructions I am given based off of each pet I have watched! I love to make sure your pets are feeling well taken care of and comfortable while the people they love the most are away!
About: I’ve house sat other dogs, regularly house sit my own dog and have had a variety of other animals of my own through the years Right now I’m home basically all day I donate plasma twice a week for about an hour and sometimes DoorDash for a few hours I always follow whatever special instructions you have for your pets whether that be taking them out a certain number of times or special feeding instruction

Colleen took amazing care of our husky, Gypsy!! It was such a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were out of town. I love that she sent photos and updates every time she visited with her. We will be using her for all our pet sitting needs in the future.

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.
