“Kalista is amazing! My very ‘anti-people’ babies love her and she gives them so much love and attention that they aren’t even mad at me when I come home! Will definitely be using her services on a regular!”

I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I will do my best to work with your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines.

“This is my 2nd time hiring Emma for daily drop ins on my 2 cats while I was away. She is wonderful, highly communicative, and my cats love her (my skittish one was sitting on her lap after a few days!) I recommend her to friends and will request her the next time I go out of town.”
“Ryann acted responsibly while caring for my dogs as I asked her to. I came home to two happy healthy dogs and that was more than I got from a local boarding place. I would recommend using Ryann as a sitter, and will most likely use her services in the future.”
About: Please read through my whole profile and make sure I am the correct fit for your pet! I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt. During this time, I adopted my first and third foster dogs, later welcoming a third rescue into my home. I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals. Additionally, I volunteered and worked at an animal sanctuary specializing in behavioral modification training, focusing on rehabilitating dogs with the most challenging backgrounds. I am currently employed full-time, working 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I base my life around the well being of my companion! I love my dog and his happiness means everything to me. I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.
About: I am a Veterinary Student through UAF/CSU. I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have animals of my own. I am used to high maintenance animals, as my dog is one. I am currently full time in my Veterinary Program. Looking for weekend work just to make some extra cash. Love animals and would like to help those in the area. I will mostly be offering sitting/check-ins for your animals at your home! I have a dog of my own here who is friendly but likes to keep more to herself
“We did drop-in services and Rhonda was amazing! I have a very high energy, needy dog and I am a very anxious dog owner, Rhonda was so communicative and always sent updates. We were so happy with her and would highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, caring, and comfortable with pets of all personalities. I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, overnight stays, etc! I currently work full time as a nurse and keep my schedule updated regularly.

I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets have access to food, water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable with crates, leashes, and different routines and personalities
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Badger
Weslyn was a true stress reliever while I was gone. She consistently checked in on my cat and provided me the peace of mind that my girl was safe and happy. Weslyn was timely and always provided very nice photos with updates on how my cat was doing. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Madison went above and beyond to check on my cat & house twice a day at -50 degree weather. She easily extended the visits for another week until it was safe for me to drive home. With the severe weather a few things were missed and my cat went into hiding. She was always quick to respond, fix and accommodate solutions.

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.
