“Shaelyn is such a sweet person and very caring for animals. She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I hope I can call on her again.”
“Usually when I get home my fur babies at least act like they missed me lol. With Julia's care they seem to not notice I was gone. My fur Babies really like her. She take time and cares. When you have to leave the fur Babies behind you don't want to worry. I don't worry with Julia. Thank you both Rover and Julia”
About: I've been caring for dogs for 10 years, from family pets to neighbors' and friends' dogs. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, and I love long walks, playtime, and making sure every pet feels safe and happy. As the co-owner of a local window washing business, I know how important it is to show up on time and treat your home with respect. I also work in senior care, so I'm patient, attentive, and used to looking after others with real care. I'll send photo updates during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated like family! My schedule varies with my jobs and classes, but it's flexible. I'll always confirm availability ahead of time and work around your plans for walks, visits, or overnights. Your pet's safety comes first. I keep dogs leashed, double-check doors and gates, and follow your routine exactly. I'll treat your home with respect and send photo updates.
“We love Katy and so does our dog! Her communication is fast and reliable. We love getting the report cards after she does drop ins, always with photos included. We'll keep re-booking her forever!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life—countless cats, three dogs, two parakeets, fish, and two ferrets. I worked for PetSmart for a year, caring for their animals, and have experience with sick pets. I volunteered at my local Humane Society for a while as a dog walker, and I owner-trained my current dog, a retired/at-home service dog. I’m currently free the majority of the day and at night. As long as I have enough time to take care of my own pup at home, I can arrange my schedule around taking care of your pets, too! I’m a big fan of maintaining routine for pets whose people are out of town. I like to follow a schedule for feedings and walks and to maintain a training routine if that’s part of your life!
“McKenna was great! She showed up on time, twice a day to take care of my boys. She managed to feed my older, grumpy cat his medications (which he hates) with no issues. I would absolutely book her again.”
“This is the first time we have left our dogs with someone other than family and I was nervous. Jennifer was amazing! She came over and met the dogs prior to our trip and was very thorough. The drop in visits were on time and I appreciated the note and pictures she sent. I 100% recommend Jennifer. We will be having her care for Piper and Buck again for sure”
About: I have been watching my family dogs since I was a kid. looked after childhood german shepard until she was 18 and raised my family basset hound and husky from puppies. trained my family husky during the pandemic. I love dogs and animals and am looking forward to meet so many more :) I am currently only working for my family dogs (no job) so I have plenty of time to work for more dogs part time :) I love dogs and will treat every dog with the same gentleness and loving that I would provide in my own home. I will not let your dog get away with doing something they are not supposed to but of course kindness to your family member is my priority.
“Amy is the best! She is reliable, communicative, and cares deeply about our pets. She was flexible with a last minute drop-in request, and asked a ton of great questions about the kind of care the pets need.”
“This was our first time using Rover and meeting Brie. She came over the day before and we did a meet & greet and she was wonderful with our 4 kitties. We have one that's super shy and she even came out to meet Brie. I felt completely comfortable leaving them for the day and Brie doing a drop-in visit to feed them. She provided pictures and great communication. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life! Currently have two dogs and a cat. I specialize in active breeds that love exercise and being outside. Drop-Ins I am flexible for times on days when I am available. As long as you leave instructions I am comfortable with whatever they need. Feeding, walks or just spending time with them! Walking Whatever your dog needs for activity I can provide for them. If they just need a little walk around the park or a long hike I can do it. I have two active breed dogs who love companions on adventures! I am currently working part time and am available sporadically throughout the week. I will try and update my schedule as frequently as possible to keep it up to date. I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. They love other dogs and want nothing more than to have a friend around to play with!
“Krystal is phenomenal in every way and it’s impossible to sing her praises enough! I can completely relax knowing she is taking excellent care of my boy when I’m away—not only does he absolutely adore her, but she understands the quirky and sensitive sides of his personality, too. Krystal’s detailed notes will put you at ease, her professional-quality pictures will practically sparkle in your camera roll, and her caretaking will be the highlight of your pet’s day. We are so lucky to have her as our petsitter!”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat, Artemis. She provided many photos of him and we could tell he was being well taken care of - even when we came back, I think he missed her! We will definitely rebook if we need a cat sitter again.”
“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”
About: We have owned pets for 20+ years including cats, dogs, a rabbit, fish, chickens and more, and have taken care of a variety of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We have also volunteered for the local Petsmart taking care of kittens and adult cats in the catio. We love our pets and will adore yours as well! We can provide care such as, but not limited to, feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking and plenty of love. Laurilee works part-time a couple of days per week as a RN. Travis works full-time from home generally with a flexible schedule as a consulting Forester. We have availability for drop-ins or walks generally between 12:30-2:30 a few days per week and occasional weekends, however this varies and will need to remain somewhat flexible, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. We can not offer baording or overnight stays at owners homes at this time. We are not available for evenings currently, as we have our childrens' activities. We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian if shared with us, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number. Available most weekdays, M-F 12:30pm-2:30pm. Not available evenings or weekends. Boarding and overnight care is not offered at this time. Check-ins and walks may be done by Laurilee, Travis or both depending on the day. If approved, our teenage daughters may join us when available for extra pets and playmates. At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets who do not appreciate having other animals in the house.

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.
