“Our cat, Baby, is very shy and tends to hide under the bed when new people or Rover sitters visit. I was very pleased that she didn’t hide from Shannon every day. Shannon is kind, resourceful, and we recommend her!”
“Sarah was very good at taking care of our cats, especially the old one that is on a special diet. She sent details of our cat’s health and routine diligently. I am going to contract her services in our next trip for sure! Thanks Sarah for taking care of our loved cat ladies!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, going on 40+ years. I currently own three large rescue dogs whom I walk daily. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike as I’ve rescued puppies and also have taken care of my dogs through old age. I am a stay at home mom to two active children. I am available to work with most schedules during the week as my children are a little older. I can walk any dog as I walk three of my own totaling 200 pounds. I can also provide pop in visits so your dog can go out and eat and just have company for awhile.
“Sarah was excellent with Chase. She followed his routine carefully, communicated clearly, and handled everything with confidence. Chase is a senior tripod and needs a bit of extra support, and she managed his let‑outs, feeding, medications, and mobility needs without any issues. We had an unexpected power outage during our booking, and Sarah immediately stepped in with solutions to keep Chase safe and comfortable. She was flexible, dependable, and proactive throughout the entire situation. Chase was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I am a Mom of 2 kids and 2 dogs (Vizsla's). I have had dogs, cats and birds my whole life and love all animals. I recently left the corporate world and would love to care for some fur babies while searching for my next opportunity. I would be happy to walk, play indoors/outdoors and care for your pets - whatever you need to keep them happy and safe. My kids and dogs will not be with me during walks or house visits. I am available weekdays Monday-Friday 9am-3pm for house visits or walks. I can play with your pet indoors or outdoors or walk 30-45 minutes around the neighborhood. Safety will be a top priority either in your home, backyard or on a walk in your neighborhood. I will follow all directions given to me by the owner.
About: I’m the biggest dog lover you’ll meet! I love puppies of all sizes and have had dogs my entire life. In the past couple years, I have watched dogs for 5+ families. I have also walked dogs for 10+ families. Feel free to ask me for references or message me any questions. I am currently in college and have open availability. Able to care for pets any day or time with enough notice! I am also open to last minute visits. I understand most families feel most comfortable with their pet remaining at home, and I am willing to commute to homes. I live in an apartment building in a spacious apartment with an easily accessible backyard, and I can care for pets from my home as well.
“Purvi saved us when a family member canceled watching our dogs last minute. She was professional, prompt, and made us feel very safe with our dogs in her care. Her attention to detail and love for animals were clear. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I stand out because I offer not just love and attention, but real experience caring for pets of all ages — from playful puppies needing training to senior pets requiring extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because even though I attend college and work on Sundays, my mother — who has just as much experience with dogs as I do — is home full-time to help ensure pets get constant love and attention. Together, we make sure no pet ever feels alone or neglected. I stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel at ease. If a pet enjoys being around other animals, my cousin often brings her friendly dog over to keep them company. If the pet prefers being alone, I make sure no other dogs are around during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions carefully, giving pets the personalized attention they deserve.
“This was our first experience working with Brittany and we are very happy with her work ethic and professionalism. We were in need of a pet sitter for a last minute family getaway and she answered my request and was at my door greeting and meeting our family/pets the very next morning! Brittany treated not only our pets with kindness and care but also was very respectful of our home. She was very thorough with updates and photos, which I appreciate very much! I would highly recommend Brittany and will absolutely be requesting her pet services again. So so happy we found Brittany through the Rover.com site!”

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog Olivia while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Olivia was in such loving and capable hands. Hannah sent regular updates, adorable photos, and made sure Olivia got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker Olivia clearly adored her too! Highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baptistown
Shannon was great with our two cats. She checked-in on them daily, gave them food/water, cleaned their litter box and helped out with minor home upkeep. Thank you so much! It took less time for the cats to get used to us after vacation, and I think it’s because of Shannon’s daily visits.
Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!

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.
