About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was born. I have taken care of my 4 household dogs (2 labs and 2 chihuahuas) and one cat since I was 10. I have always been the pet sitter and walker for my mom, sister, grandma, and aunt when they needed one! Right after I moved out I adopted a miniature dachshund of my own! I am currently a 5th year architecture student! I only have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely free, so I have plenty of available time to tend to and love on your pets throughout the day. I also have open availability most weekends! I am able to feed, play with, walk, bathe, and check up on your dog! I also would love to update you with pictures throughout my visit or walk with your pet, my phone is full of animal photos!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats from high school throughout college. I love spending time with animals so your pets will have safe and loving experiences each day! I am currently working in a research lab over the summer, but I am very flexible. I will be completely available on the weekends to look after your fur babies! I live in a small apartment, so I will not be able to board pets. However, I am right next to Auburn University's main campus. Plenty of long walks to be had!
“Abigail was great! She was an excellent communicator and made me feel comfortable that our pups were cared for while we were away. Definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Thanks so much to Alexandra for doing such a great job with Punk'n during his drop in. He was very relaxed and happy and when u got home and I know he had fun during the visit. I love the pictures and the feedback you have on his visit.”
“Anjolie did a great job taking care of our finicky cat. He gets very stressed when we are away. He was excited to see us and got right back into his routine- tail high, lovey and ready to nap next to us. Anjolie is a great communicator. Sent us pictures with each visit. Would highly recommend and we will rebook with Anjolie again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have pet-sit on occasion. I have also been around cats for a while and have one of my own. I love all dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pets unique personality. I’m currently in school full time but am usually done with my day by 3pm. I love to go outside so a walk is always in the schedule. I have empty weekends most of the time. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my kitten. I have plenty of sidewalk and parks near me to take a dog or cat on a walk. There’s plenty of space if your pet needs personal space and plenty if they love other animals.
“Another great visit for a fur baby with Ms. Jill! I tried to tip more but the app cut me off. Rover needs to fix that for the fabulous folks that treat out babies like family.”
“Linda is a wonderful cat sitter. She took care of my 4 long haired Persians for 5 days. They are high maintenance cats. Linda did a wonderful job and is worth every penny!”
“Taylor was amazing while we were away! She kept our two cats happy and well fed while we were out as well, it seems they had a great time and I would definitely consider her in the future!”
“Renee is an absolute angel and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. She goes above and beyond to take care of our cats while we’re away and sends so many photos and videos while she’s there. She even did things we didn’t ask her to do (getting mail, taking out trash, cleaning up cat throw up, etc)!!! We could truly enjoy our trip knowing that Renee had our fur babies happy and healthy at home 🤍”
“Laura was so great! She came over beforehand to meet my pup and make sure I was super comfortable. She left a detailed comment and great pics! Laura was also very good at communicating.”
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animals so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in a very spacious apartment and absolutely love to go on walks!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of different ages and energy levels, including puppies and senior pets. I can help maintain feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other routines your pet is used to. I also love spending extra time playing, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾💕 I am currently a full-time student with classes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. I can walk, feed, and care for your pets before and/or after my classes! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, which allows me to keep your pet in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions before you leave. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕
About: My grandparents have two adorable Vizslas who love to run. My grandpa and I run with them in the morning whenever I visit them. Vizslas are dogs that love attention and exercise. My experience with them prepares me well for your pet. I also have experience in raising little ducklings. I’m an Auburn student who lives on campus. I usually wake up around 5am. I love jogging and it’s so much fun to have a dog run alongside me. Over the weekends I’m typically freer to do house sitting as opposed to walking/running dogs in the mornings and evenings on weekdays. Taking care of your pet’s health will be my #1 concern. Animals being properly exercised lead to their best performance mentally and physically. I will make sure your pet is well stimulated and help it get in tip top shape.

Kailyn was wonderful with my cats. I was nervous about letting someone else take care of them, but she came by the week before my trip to meet them, sent plenty of photos, and spent time playing with them. She respected my oldest cat’s no-pet boundary while still including her through parallel play. She was also very patient and kind when there was an issue with the key. I would absolutely book her again!

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 .

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 use the 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.
