About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I was in 4-H for 8 years and grew up on a ranch. I have volunteered for Canine Companions as well. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for, play with, and love on your pups! Whether it’s early morning cuddles, midday potty breaks, or evening walks, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it like my own—clean, secure, and full of love for your furry family member.

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.

About: All throughout my childhood we had at least 1 or more dogs in our home. I'm very experienced with their care needs and have just completed my A.S. at mjc minoring in veterinary technology. I'm currently job hunting as I just finished up schooling so I have a lot of free time that I would like to spend with some furry friends. I have four cats so they own the place, I just live there. I have experience with animal handling in both dogs and cats. No issues with putting them in crates or making sure they don't escape. I'm very quick and know how to approach with caution.

About: I adore animals. I've had dogs and cats around my whole life, I'm the first person my family goes to for help when they go on trips. Willing to work with any creatures 😁 I work full time Monday through Friday, we can always chat about my schedule if you need! I'm normally home on weekends so I'm looking to fill the rest of my schedule. I live with my parents still so I can't bring pets into my home, but we have a husky malamute who we've trained to not eat our cats or rats!

About: My love for animals runs deep—I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I care for cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From socializing shy pets to walking energetic pups and helping with feeding and cleaning, I’ve gained hands-on experience that’s taught me how to read animal behavior and respond with patience, love, and care. Whether I’m hanging out with a cuddly senior cat or keeping a playful dog entertained, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like family and make it my priority to follow their routine and comfort level while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine easily. I work remotely and can adjust my hours as needed, which makes it simple to handle walks, feedings, or any last-minute needs that come up. I’m very careful when it comes to pet care. I always make sure the environment is safe, secure, and comfortable—whether it’s in my home or the client’s. I follow any specific instructions closely and treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention.

About: Hello! I have always loved taking care of animals, I have pet sat recently for my cousin, I used to pet sit for my neighbor before I moved, I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs! I do work, but I have days off, and I don’t always work all day, I’ll know my schedule ahead of time, so I’d be be transparent with my availability. I’m always off on weekends though! Message me about morning availabilities, I turned the morning option off just because I can’t do mornings on the days I work! Of course I’d talk to you about the pets routine, whether it be feeding or even bathroom times depending on your animal, and from there I’d make sure all the requirements are met! I’d play, and of course make sure I supervise your pet! I’ll make sure to follow any rules owners may have!

About: I have a deep love and appreciation for dogs. Have been taking care of my family’s dog for years now as well as watching my friend’s dogs and cats while she’s away for work for multiple days. I’m currently working little hours at my local job, but I am looking to expand that by walking and taking great care of your furry friends right now I like to get to know the animal and can understand their body language in many different scenarios. I understand what they think as threats and can anticipate different situations and handle as such.

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs, I also have experience with rodents such as rabbits, mice, rats, and hamsters. I also am fine taking care of reptiles if needed. I'm available almost everyday, so I have plenty of time to stay at your house and watch your animals. I can even stay the night if needed. I feed them breakfast and dinner everyday, clean litter boxes once or twice a day depending on how many cats, and I could walk the dogs two or three times a day.

“Sydney was prompt and kind. My puppy had an accident and went the extra mile of cleaning up after her. My girls can be a bit stubborn but she handled them with care and kindness. I’ve never used a pet sitter before for my dogs and this was a very positive experience with Sydney. If she is willing to watch my dogs again in the future I know my girls will learn to bond with Sydney!”

About: From the moment I was born, we always had a dog growing up. In 2013, I got my very own pitbull puppy and she quickly became my best friend. She walked on my journey with me for 10 years. Through changing cities, college, careers, and becoming a mother to two daughters, she was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Our pets truly become apart of the family. It is important for us to show them everyday how much we love and cherish them while they are walking on our journey. Finding the right person couldn’t be more important. I am a stay-at-home mom of two daughters. Our days are usually spent outdoors going on walks, local hiking trails or cool parks. As the weather is getting cooler, we always welcome a furry friend to cuddle on the couch while watching movies and sipping hot cocoa. Opportunities for pet care is important for us as part of life teachings and my daughters take the task very seriously. My home has a large fenced backyard. They have the opportunity to stay inside the home or roam freely outside. We have a doggy door for easy access but are more than willing to open the back patio door each time if they do not know how to use the doggy door. Inside your home, I can tailor to your needs without any issues.

“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”

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.
