About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, family friends, and neighbors for over 10 years. I have a family dog that I primarily took care of from 8 weeks old to one year old. I’ve taken care of my neighbors cats multiple times and I currently have two of my own. I currently have a part-time job that I work Monday-Friday. This still leaves plenty of time for me to provide care for your animals in the morning, at night, and during the day. I would be able to adjust to each clients home according to how they specifically take care of their pets. My first priority would be the pets safety. I would provide regular food according to their feeding schedule and make sure they always have fresh water. I would learn about their specific needs and take note of changes in behavior. They would receive plenty of attention and affection in my care. A clean living space and regular exercise would be a priority. I am responsible with every pet I care for and clients can always depend on me to show up and put in time and effort with their pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for all of my life, especially over the past 10+ years. I will probably enjoy playing with your pets just as much as they will, if not, more. Having vetmed experience, I feel more than comfortable tending to your fur babies! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I work 7am-5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other than that, I am available for your furry friends! I have a fenced in yard and plenty of energy to keep up. I can make accommodations according to your preferences and your pet’s comfort.
“Morgan is an excellent sitter! She is great with communicating with us on a regular bases, and our fur babies just love her. Anytime we mention she is coming over, the tails start wagging like crazy!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Have raised, bred and loved dogs since I was a teenager. Now I have a teenager and we have one yorkie, we are active pet lovers ready to watch your dog. Mainly planning to watch on the weekends, holidays and really anytime I’m free. I work a Monday- Friday, but I available most nights and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with decent amount of backyard for movement but also live near city forest and we are pretty active out there already with a pet of our own.
“I contacted Maria late on the evening before we were leaving for a last minute weekend away. This was our first time to use her. She responded and was so sweet to come for a quick meet and greet before we left. We knew right away that she had a special love for cats. She and our Mac connected right away. We loved that she shared many photos with us and let us know what she did on each visit. Maria gave us peace of mind that our boy was being well cared for while we were gone. She also kindly watered my flower pots for me. We highly recommend Maria.”
“Lucas is an amazing sitter/walker! He is as good with animals as he is with humans! He is very patient and treats each pet based on their own personality and needs, he cares about your pets as they're his own! Will ask for his services again and recommend you do too!”

“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”
About: I've had a dog in the house since I was 7. I went to training with my mom when we first got him, and have helped train and take care of him since. I am a trusted pet sitter in my friends and family friends community to walk, feed, give medications, and house sit. I love love love dogs. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open! Hire me for whatever time you need me for. I am currently very available! I will make sure to follow all instructions you leave for me to the letter and just love on your pup as much as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since childhood, so taking care of animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe great pet care starts with taking the time to understand those individual needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed an animal—I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable care, communication, and regular updates. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re with me I currently work full time at home. My schedule is very flexible and can accomomdate your pet's needs whether it is drop-in care or walks! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet receives their regular meals, fresh water, medications if needed, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, giving them cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet’s space is cared for, and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own
About: As a nurse and animal lover, your pet is in excellent hands. I grew up with horses, dogs, cats and other random farm animals. I would love to be the one to care for your family member, just like they’re my own. I have full availability for dog walking, house sitting and drop in visits. Currently taking a break from my travel nurse life so I am free as a wildflower until late fall. When I come to my clients residence, I will follow the instructions you have left for me. Your animals’ health and safety is my top concern.
“Madison was so sweet with our needy cats who always get sooo lonesome when we’re gone. She sent us lots of photos after each visit showing her doing all the special things besides feeding for them. She went above and beyond. We so appreciated her! Thank you so much, Madison.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! My love for animals has only grown further. I am comfortable giving any medications and dealing with any age range from puppy-senior dogs! I’m available any time to care for pups. Times that would work best for me on weekdays will be mornings and evenings, weekends I am available 24/7! I am comfortable with any breed as I have two German shepherds myself. I am easily able to adapt to any environment/breed and assist with anything you may need. I love going for walks and making sure the dog is getting plenty of active play and has all food/water/medication they may need.
“Amy is wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for our pets while we were out of town- she even brought catnip! She is communicative and kind. We are so grateful that we could get away knowing our pets were getting the best care possible.”
“Candice has been a great support to us. My 100 lb Weimaraner loves her and she is so sweet and caring with him that I never have to worry when she is with him. She goes above and beyond and has run him to the vet when I wasn’t around. She is always on time and keeps me informed about everything going on with my baby. Thank you Candice!”

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.
