About: I have been pet sitting for my friends and neighbors for years, plus have had dogs of my own for 13 years. I’ve had some older dogs, and puppies. I have experience with taking care of cats and chickens as well. I’ve had 2 cats for 10 years and have 9 chickens I currently take care of! I have a flexible job that allows for me to take breaks and take care of animals throughout the day. I currently do fit in 3 training sessions for my own puppy everyday. Currently I do training with my puppy and make time as needed for other tasks. I understand being respectful in others homes and caring for animals like they are my own.

About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house.

I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.

I also have experience caring for parakeets, chickens, guinea pigs , anoles and fish I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will do my best to match the routine you have with them to keep them on schedule and make sure they have fun and are comfortable while you are away. I can play, crate, feed, or give medications in the home. I want to match your routine with your pets as best as possible so they can feel comfortable while you are away.

“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”

She was very reliable and left detailed feedback of the visits as well as lots of pictures of the cats while she was there which made us feel very comfortable. Our one cat in particular (the shy one) really liked her which was especially great. We were very pleased with our experience.”

About: I’m a 32 year old who loves animals! I have owned and cared for dogs pretty much my entire life. (Mostly border collies). My wife, Bela, and I currently have two dogs of our own which you can see in our photos. I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility to help care for your pups. I am willing to take your dogs for runs as well as walks if requested. Your dog will get all of the love, care and attention in the world. We just recently moved to the Westminster area. Any question? Shoot me a message! I’m currently working full time from home. I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule which allows me to care for your dogs during the day as well and the morning/evening/afternoon. My wife and I are always around on the weekend as we do not have kids. I am able to walk or run with your dogs depending on your preference. I will treat your pet as if they were my own and give them all of the love and attention they desire.

About: I've been taking care of my own pets since I was eight years old. Currently I take care of my bichon and bichon poodle in my home. I have pet sat Maine Coon cats, labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, basset hounds, beagles, and german shepherds. Additionally, I have experience that ranges from puppy care to senior care. I am more than happy to do a phone call or meet in person so we can get to know each other, or stop by to meet the pups before I stay with them :) I'm working part-time right now, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am super flexible and don't mind getting up early/leaving late. In your home, I am more than happy to accomodate the routines for your dog and the routines of your household. It's important to me to keep the dogs safe, utilizing baby gates, shutting doors/cabinets, and having fences as needed.

About: Hello! I’m Mags (Rover requires me to use my legal name) and I love all animals I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently employed part time and have many days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any client’s schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.

Kelly did a great job, we have used her a couple of times now to check in on our two chocolate labs while we are away on vacation. She sends detailed descriptions, lots of pictures and always keeps us updated. She even replaced a ball for us that went over the fence. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!

Shaelin took wonderful care of our four cats, fish, and chickens while we were away for the weekend! She had great communication throughout our trip, sent lots of pictures and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that our cats were comfortable and happy with her. We came home to well-cared-for pets and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely book Shaelin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

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.
