“Jennifer was really great - she sat for our dog and three cats while we were out of town and was very consistent for the drop-in visits, and communicated regularly. No issues, much appreciation. 😊”
“Jennifer is always great with my dog Harper! She is always there and on time when we need her to be. She is also super nice and watches her last minute if I need her to. She follows directions and always goes above and beyond. Harper is always super tired after I get back home. I definitely recommend Jennifer! Thanks for all you do I really appreciate it!”
About: Taken care of dogs my whole life. Have played games from fetch to tug of war, as well as just one on one affection as each individual dog needed. Also have experience with many different types of brushes, harnesses and other equipment. Have dogs of my own so only available for dog walking and sitting in the dogs home. I am active duty on shore duty so I have more time than normal! I do work weekdays generally and am at work for up to 8 hours, so weekends are my prime but if those hours are ok weekdays may be considered as well. My home is currently unsuitable for services, however in the pets home I will play with the pet daily as the pet wishes, as well as offer daily walks, fresh water and feeding as directed. Very attentive to individual directions!
About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have always had family dogs and recently lost my German Shepherd. I have pet sat for friends and family since I was in middle school. I work from home so I will be able to drop in multiple times throughout the day. I currently do not have kids so am very flexible with my time. I can stay overnight in your house with your animals and drop in multiple times a day. I have a lot of experience with strong dogs and enjoy taking dogs on adventures or just walks around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for eight years for big and small dogs, cats, and some birds. I also work in the animal training field so I feel very comfortable with general animal tasks as well as administering medications. I work another job from 7 am-4 pm on Saturday through Wednesday. I am free to do visits before and after those times. I am available to spend the night, or just drop by to hang out with your pet! I am experienced in administering medications, walking on leashes and harnesses, and crating animals. I always approach pet sitting scenarios with respect for both the owner and the pet.
“We had Ashley come check in on our boys and outside kitties and she did an amazing job! She brought in our mail, made sure our boys were fed and medicated on promptly, sent some AMAZING pictures, and made sure our outside kitties were fed! Sirius (our nervous-with-friends puppy) even remembered Ashley from her last visit and they took selfies!! THANK YOU, Ashley!”
About: Animals are my life! Dogs and cats have been a part of my family since I was three. I have had at least one dog (often more) in my life from that point on. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a very open schedule to help you and your pets feel comfortable. I have owned many different types of dogs. Everything from puppies to senior dogs and cats, I can handle. In short, I am a dependable, flexible, schedule oriented individual who would love to care for your dogs and cats anyway that I can. I am located in Pace. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your animals! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! As a stay at home mother of three. I will have plenty of time to meet the needs of your pets. I enjoy walks too. I have a fenced in yard and take dogs on walks often. I will treat your pet as my own. Only the best for our furry children.
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 9 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and I used to pet sit all my neighbors animals growing up! I would love to own a pet right now but I want to be settled before I do! That’s why I’d love to take care of your cats or dogs! I love nature and trails and they would be exceptionally more fun if I had a buddy with me! Since I owned a dog who had multiple surgeries, I’m more than suitable to take care of any special needs your dog may have! I currently work from 7-3:30 so I have the whole morning and afternoon to take care of your pets :) The weekends I should be even more free! I live an apartment that has a doggy park. It has lots of green areas to walk around and play in. It’s a pretty family friendly neighborhood.
“Aspen was wonderful with our 2 large dogs! I could tell she genuinely loves animals during our Meet and Greet, and our dogs loved her! Even my Sharpei/Rottweiler mix who has “stranger danger” warmed up to Aspen immediately. She was patient getting them to go potty in the rain and followed our instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Aspen and will use her again for future drop-in visits!”
About: Animals have been my passion since I was four years old. I’m currently a veterinary assistant preparing to start school to become a veterinary technician. I’ve grown up caring for family pets and now have three amazing dogs—small, medium, and large—so I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. One of my pups is an ESA, and while I know that title holds legal meaning, I truly believe every pet is someone’s emotional support. I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and respect. Currently I am a full time veterinary assistant, so most days do end with me getting off at 7pm. I won’t let that stop me because I am still available for those after hour times. I am always off Thursday/Sunday and available after 3pm on Saturday (unless stated otherwise). My fur babies are very spoiled! They each have their own crates, open all day to lounge in if they please, a big fenced in yard and plenty of toys they love to share. I know the connection I have with them is very special, and I’m betting the connection I can make with yours will be just as special too.
About: Hi I love dogs I have 3 dogs of my own 2 big ones and one little one, I’ve been around dogs my whole life especially bigger ones! I’m responsible and I’ll make sure to take good care of your dog and give it lots of love on our walks I have a flexible schedule with my work. I’m always able to move times and days around whenever needed. I am home by the end of the day every night except a occasional Friday/Saturday when I go out but always still come home that night I take care of my family dogs letting them eat/outside/cleaning up I am a very clean and tidy person with my home so I’d keep the house in order and clean with the dog as well

So I do have way more free time on my hands now that I don’t go to class in person ! Every pet is unique , so it is very important that I tailor my care to their specific needs or preferences.

I will follow feeding and water routines as told and administer any prescribed medications instructed by the client . I love to exercise with pets , such as playing fetch, going for walks , etc .

About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also have professional experience working in an animal hospital, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine, and I’ll always communicate in advance about my availability. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special routines they’re used to. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, maintain a clean environment, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable at all times. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

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.
