About: From dogs to cats, puppies to Senior pets, energetic to mobility issues, I have experience with a wide range of pets and needs! Growing up with animals, I have taken care of pets from birth into old age. I love hyper puppies and mischievous kittens, and have experience caring for senior pets experiencing blindness, hearing loss, mobility issues, and requiring medication. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies! I’m available for short and long term bookings and will make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. As a pet owner myself, I will be sure to treat your animals with the upmost care and respect as if they were my own. The same goes for your home.
About: I have had a pet of my own ever since I can remember. My current fur baby is an almost 10 year old rescue from Kuwait. We have traveled the world together and recently returned to the US. We are looking to help others take care of their fur babies. I am an educator who has lived overseas for several years. I have recently returned to the US. I will be working online part-time, so I have the time and energy to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies when you need a helping hand! I have one older rescue dog who is very shy but friendly. We go for at least two walks a day around the neighborhood to get our steps in and his sniffer activated. We would love for your dog to join us!

Truly a gem—I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old and constantly go and watch my sisters dogs once every two months I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and most weekends. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, provide constant supervision, and maintain a clean, calm environment. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own.

About: I'm 35 years old with 2 dogs myself. I have had a great deal of professional and non-professional pet care and training experience since I was a child on a farm in Northern Vermont 🙂. From raising different horses, pigs, ducks, geese, goats, chickens, and rabbits, I enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes. I can handle big or small and am happy to accommodate and take suggestions 😊 & recommendations anytime. Thank you, looking forward to helping with your safe, healthy & happy pet care experiences. ~Willow I work from home & I can accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and more. If you choose my place, I'm proud of my clean one-story home, free of stairs, perfect for older or disabled pets, and an open interior for the more playful ones, too. My pets and I are by nature very routine, and I understand the need to keep your pets' schedule the same to minimise stress, separation anxiety, or any unwanted behavior. I want you to as the pet parent, to feel comfortable just as I want your pet to feel comfortable. If visiting your place, i.e., drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, I will share pet updates and follow all your recommended asks. I am newly located in Sain Marys, Georgia, from Maryland. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furry friend may have at home. I will follow all your recommendations while being happy to accommodate any special needs. A key to a successful pet care experience is not only maintaining the animal's basic needs but also overdelivering in compassion, time, effort, and patience. All this while keeping your pet's normal routine, just adding me as their guardian at the time of care.

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.
