“Sarah is amazing with our kitties, she gives us updates with photos and has amazing communication. We highly recommend Sarah if you're looking for someone to care for your fur babies!”
“Aaliyah was wonderful with our 3 large dogs. She responded to our initial request within several hours and was able to meet and greet the next evening. The dogs all responded positively to her immediately upon entry, even our skittish Rottie mix. Each day she'd text and let us know how the dogs were doing. We'll definitely be requesting her services again, and we highly recommend her.”
“Kerry was amazing as always! I asked her very last minute for a same day drop in and she was able to help me out! She always sends lots of pictures and is great with my crazy doggos!❤️”
About: Semi-retired dog lover with a lot of time for play, walks, and many cuddles. Caring, dependable, and dedicated to keeping your pup's tail wagging happily! I’m semi-retired and work from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and cuddles, making sure each pup feels loved and engaged. Though my profile shows my beautiful Jersey Girl, she does not live with me. She lives with my son, her best friend ever! So I do not have any other pets in my home and look forward to spoiling yours :) I live in a quiet, gated community that’s perfect for relaxed walks and fresh air. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging and playtime. Dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable and feel right at home.
About: I have had the joy of loving dogs ever since I was about 5 years old! By only a few short years afterwards, I was given the privilege of taking care of our family dogs through feeding them regularly, letting them outside to go potty, and taking them on walks for exercise! I am not only patient with little puppies while potty training but also bigger doggies who need a little more attention every now and then! I currently have a very free schedule so I am able to tend to your personal household’s needs more specifically! I have a few things throughout every week and am available for overnights most everyday of the week with some time away Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings. I pay close attention to my pets’ needs and make sure they are comfortable and well-fed. When my dog Cosmo gets upset sometimes he just needs to be paid attention to and I don’t mind loving on him when he needs it! I am attentive to his needs by letting him out when he needs to go potty, or freshening up his water when he needs it!
About: I’ve had or watched every size dog from a mini wiener dog to an Italian mastiff and currently have 4 pups of my own including the puppy from two of them so I have the experience raising a puppy from birth which was quite the journey but if it happens again I will be much more prepared. Active Air Force but when I’m here I work 8 hours a day Monday to Friday and I’m off on the weekend currently working overnight 11 to 7 so anytime outside of that I am free I live in a very quiet walkable area, my dog is super friendly and loves making new friends. Cageless home because it’s their home as much as it is ours. Water stays full, potty breaks every couple hours or anytime I am about to leave the house.
“Allison was great with our dogs. She sent thorough reports and photos for each drop-in visit. I could tell from the photos our dogs were loved and cared for. It was so nice to enjoy our son’s wedding and not stress if the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely book with Allison again!”
“Angelica was able to come visit my new kitten and my older cat very last minute and was very attentive to them both! She offered great care and was very communicative.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, and even a frog, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Alaska (The Hound Lounge) for almost 2.5 years, where I handled feeding, water, medications, enrichment, photos for owners, and making sure every pup had plenty of playtime, comfort, and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which has IVDD and I care for from giving medication to expressing her bladder and colon and the other of which I walk daily. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant St. Bernards. If you’re looking for someone confident, reliable, and comfortable with all dogs (and happy to care for cats, too!), I’ve got you covered. I currently am a stay at home dog mom and am caring for my dog who has IVDD and is paralyzed in her back legs. Because of that, I’m most available for check-ins or daily walks, along with occasional overnight care when I have advance notice. This helps me plan ahead and make sure I can give your pets my full attention. As I build my client base, my goal is to transition to full-time pet care and open up even more flexible availability for all of my clients. I always ask pet parents to leave detailed instructions on how they’d like their furry friends cared for while they’re away. This can include anything from walk lengths, feeding amounts, and medication schedules to whether they need a leash in the backyard, are allowed to roam freely, or prefer a crate during the day or night. I also ask where they sleep—whether that’s in their own bed, on the couch, or cuddled up next to me (which I’m totally fine with!). I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, and if no specific directions are provided, I will use my best judgment to ensure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats as long as I can remember I love all animals big and small I used to work at an animal shelter and learned lots of useful skills Im currently unemployed so ill have plenty of time to play and care for your pets i have 2 sweet dogs of my own and they love having new freinds over I have a fenced yard and two very social doggos to keep your fur baby accompanied all day can also crate Your pet if needed
“Great communication from the start and super precise following my super OCD-detailed instructions! Definitely put my mind at ease knowing my sweet babies were okay while I was away. Thank you!!!”
“Jenna is always prompt, communicates well and has so much fun with Bella, our GSP is so excited every time she is there to care for her. So blessed to have Jenna :)”
About: I have owned cats, dogs, crested geckos, a jumping spider, rabbits, mice, fish, frogs, ducks, and chinchillas. I have a big heart for animals and have always had an animal in my life. I have primarily had medium to large dogs but love little dogs too. I've had experience with dogs and cats in all stages of life and have experience hand feeding and dealing with medications with meals. I am not afraid of any breeds and am comfortable with all animals. I am excited to meet your fur baby! I am a full time nurse PRN and mom to an 18 month old little boy. I choose when to work and only pick up if I'm not house sitting or boarding someone's baby that way I'm home to give all the love and attention to fur babies. I am able to take my son to daycare monday through friday also so I can focus on your furry friends. I can watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own home whether it be frequent stops in the day or a stay overnight. I can stop in for meals, potty breaks, play time, and walks.
“Fantastic start to the week! Cheyene kept me informed each day during her visits, she went above and beyond my expectations! So happy to have her caring for my fur babies while I’m away at work! Exceptional service, reliable, consistent and caring! We are continuing our weekly drop in service as she has proven she truly cares about our fur babies!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over five years, turning a lifelong love for pets into a reliable, full-service pet sitting business. From energetic puppies needing long neighborhood runs to gentle senior cats requiring precise medication schedules, I specialize in providing personalized, stress-free care right in your pets' home environment. Owners count on me for complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are getting constant companionship, playtime, and daily photo updates while they're away. Whether it’s maintaining strict routines or offering extra belly rubs, I treat every animal like family. My daily routine is built entirely around providing dedicated, high-quality care for your pets! I work a short 3-hour morning shift with Amazon, which leaves the rest of my day completely open to focus on what I love most: caring for your furry family members. I have a big fenced in yard to let my furry friends roam. I can also crate your pets if you’d like. I love to let them roam free in my home and feel like it’s their own so they are as comfortable as possible
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to large-breed dogs, as well as senior dogs that require medications, special accommodations, and extra patience. While I am new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals has been a part of my life for many years. I have looked after the pets of friends and family and understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with a beloved family member. I currently have two rescue dogs of my own. My first dog, Marie, came from a severe neglect situation. When I brought her home, she was underweight, fearful, and in poor condition. Through patience, consistency, and proper care, she regained her health and confidence and has become a happy, thriving dog. My second dog, Pete, was adopted through a local rescue organization. He weighed only 10 pounds when we brought him home and has since grown into a healthy 105-pound companion. Caring for both dogs has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. In addition to bully breeds, I have experience handling Cattle Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, Hounds, Chihuahuas, and many other breeds. I understand that every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to each pet's individual personality, routine, and exercise requirements. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is generally flexible. This allows me to travel to homes throughout the local area to feed, water, exercise, and spend quality time with pets while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep pets leashed during walks unless otherwise directed and safely enclosed, and pay close attention to each pet's behavior and comfort level. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water and receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I understand that trusting someone with your home and pets is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and care, and I provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
About: I get a sense of peace when I am with dogs. I have a natural connection to them and I love spending time with them. I've worked with dogs that wanted nothing to do with me, but over time they have grown closer to me. I visit a lot of friends and family here where I live and I try my best to make the owners confident in my abilities when it comes to the care of their pets. I make sure they have clean water, fresh food, able to take them for a walk or let them outside supervised. If they take medicine I follow the guide the owners leave for me. I am very good at it and enjoy it very much!
“This was my first time using rover and Victoria exceeded all my expectations! My dog loved her and I felt very comfortable having her watch him for the weekend. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thanks Victoria for taking care of my baby!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Sarah was amazing with our pets while we were gone and kept me up to date on all the pets. I know my fur kids were in amazing hands with Sarah and she even treated them which she did not have to do at all! To say she went above and beyond doesn’t do justice for how much she helped us out! 10/10 recommend Sarah’s amazing care for our pets!
Katy was amazing with our cats! They had a good time while we were away and I could tell they weren’t as stressed as they’ve been in the past when we’ve traveled. Katy noticed a problem with our AC too and turned on all the house fans to keep it cool until we could get maintenance out there. Overall 10/10 experience

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.
