“Excellent drop-in visits! Communication was consistent, and I received detailed updates and photos each time. Max was well cared for, given plenty of attention and love. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such reliable and caring hands. I highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


About: I've been taking care of my family and friends pets for as long as I remember. Everything from gentle giants to tiny sassy dogs, I enjoy gaining dog's trust and ensuring a good time for everyone. I am currently unemployed and have PLENTY of time and love to ensure your pet is well taken care of. I offer plenty of flexibility during the week and offer Saturday morning with prior notice. During check-ins I like to be very thorough about my visit and report all of the sassy side eyes and crazy tail wags. I let your pets guide my check-ins, for my more social, cuddly friends, I have plenty of belly rubs. For my more independent friends, I'm happy to watch them in their solo activities.
About: Hi neighbors! I'm available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and lots of love for your pup. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, so I'll send photo updates, detailed notes, and treat every dog like they're my own. I’ve always had the passion to care for and nurture all animals. We have a small dog of our own, Daisey who is ever so friendly and loves to make new friends. I adapt well, play well, love well, and can’t wait to take great care of your babies! Love and cuddles are a must. I have a lot of experience as an assistant training puppies of various breeds with my close friends personal business. Very flexible, mostly available! Open to dogs of all breeds and all sizes! Please be mindful that we have a small dog and a large dog who are both very friendly with other pets! If allowed, your pup is welcome into our family. I’m currently a small business owner and work from home every day of the week so you’re very friends with plenty of attention! Weekends are flexible and we’re typically out for only a few hours a day, I have a fence yard and two friendly pups to keep your fur baby company. We take frequent potty breaks outside and very mindful about keeping the pups hydrated of the sun for long stretches at a time. Cats will be kept inside the home for their entire stay unless otherwise requested.
About: I have taken care of many dogs through out my years from small chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I currently own a German Shepherd, Blue Heeler and two Great Pyrenees that I love with all my heart. I have experience with many breeds and also with training dogs. I can potty train them and teach them a few discipline skills like sit and stays and also teach them funny tricks. I have always loved animals and I want to use this opportunity to experience more with animals as a future veterinarian. I believe becoming a dog sitter will help me have more experience with getting to know different dogs. I honestly believe this will be a fun experience to meet new people and their beloved pets.
“Kendra is the SWEETEST to my furbabies! She has given me so much peace while I’ve been away and has been communicating with me the entire time. I’m beyond grateful to her for her kind disposition and care for my babies. HIGHLY recommend. Look no further!”

“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure their kitty litter box was clean each day. She made sure they got fresh water and food each day. She took the time to reassure my cats and to play with them as they became more comfortable. I loved the pictures and texts she provided each day. This was my first time to use a cat sitter and I loved her¹ I absolutely plan on using her again to care of my cats the next time I go on a trip!?”

About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.
“Jennifer was wonderful taking care of my cat. She took the time to try and coax her out from hiding. She got on the floor and looked under beds to get pictures of her as she was trying to spend time with her while I was away. She was great!”

About: I regularly help care for my parents’ 6 year old Schnauzer and my sister’s 7 year old dog, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. Spending time with them has helped me understand every different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a recent college grad working part-time, so my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’m available a good chunk of the day to take care of cats and dogs. Feeding, walks, litter box or playtime, all of that fits in easily, and since I’m not gone for long stretches, they won’t be alone too much! For drop-ins and walks, I will follow your routine for feeding and care needs including litter box scooping for cats, keep leashes/harnesses secure for dogs, and stay attentive the whole time. I clean up after walks, refresh water and food, and double check doors are locked before I leave. I always send an update with photos afterward :)
About: As someone who is going to school to eventually be a veterinarian. I have worked in the industry for 1 year and a half which is where I learned how to care for pets and truly know the meaning of quality care. I enjoyed every part of caring for over 40 dogs at a time which consisted of feeding, walking, playing with, and medicating. It was my job to lead a team to successfully give the proper care the pets needed every minute they were in our watch. I have pets of my own and really enjoy walking them so this part time job is perfect for me. I’m currently working on a college undergrad degree that makes it harder for me to work in a job that is in the animal industry. Being a dog walker would allow me to make my own schedule to be able to go to school at the same time. As coming out of a animal care giver job, I have gained the experience I require to ensure a pets safety at all times. I can ensure trust with a client that I can always bring their loved pet home after their walk. Having my own pets at home, I always make sure that they have my attention when I am watching them, and when they need something I always attend to them. I am a trusted family member when someone needs help with their pet or have any questions.
About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA. I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time. My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.

About: I’m 30 and have had dogs my entire life. I have two of our own — a 36-lb mini Sheepadoodle and a 13-lb Yorkie mix — so used to different sizes and energy levels. I regularly dog sit for friends, and often have their dogs stay with us while they’re on vacation. I am very comfortable having extra dogs in the house and keeping things structured and calm. I live in a home with two separate fenced yards, so there’s plenty of safe space to play or relax. My job permits me to work from home often, which means the dogs aren’t be left alone for long stretches. I also volunteer with the SPCA 3–4 times a month (10+ hours), working hands-on with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a full-time realtor, so my schedule is flexible and I work from home often. That allows me to be around consistently and adjust my day as needed for walks, playtime, and supervision. I am active with our own dogs — take them to the park as often as possible and walk them 2–4 times per week. Staying engaged with them is already part of my routine, so adding another dog fits naturally into the day. I home with two separate fenced-in yards, which gives dogs secure outdoor space to play and relax safely. My two dogs are well-socialized and regularly exposed to family members' dogs as well as new dogs at the dog park. Because I often dog sit for friends and I volunteer regularly with the SPCA, I am very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and introductions in a calm, structured way.
About: I provide dependable, attentive pet care as a former college athlete, dog mom of two, and someone who also grew up with a family dog. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, structured routines, and understanding different pet personalities. I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for, while keeping owners updated with clear communication and photos. Pet care fits into my daily routine naturally since I have two dogs of my own. I’m flexible throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I prioritize consistency and reliability. I’m able to adjust my schedule around bookings to make sure each pet gets full attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed.
About: I've cared for all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, & chickens throughout my life. I also have experience with multiple pets at once! I'm available anytime on weekends, after 12pm on Mondays & Wednesdays, before 12pm and after 3pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays, and anytime after 11am on Fridays. Your pet always comes first! Whether they have very specific needs, diets, or just want to play, your pet's wants and needs are my priority.
“Astrid is so communicative and extra caring with our pets as well as respectful to our home. I did not know Astrid prior to using Rover but am extremely thankful that we took the chance on this opportunity and that we found Astrid in the process. Highly recommend.”

“Camisha and Omari came to meet my two dogs. They were on time and answered all my questions. I could tell they love dogs, and would do a great job with mine for drop-ins. They even brought treats, which was nice. I will be going with them for my drop-in visits.”

Dania has been so great this week with our baby Lucy. We lost our other fur baby last weekend and all been taking it hard, when we had to return to work we needed a sitter for our babygirl towards the end of the week.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
