About: I have worked at veterinarian clinics and dealt with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I work Monday - Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. I am off most weekends and major holidays. Message me for what your needs are. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”
“Noah took great care of our two cats and was incredibly helpful when our trip got extended. He stayed flexible, kept a positive attitude, and handled everything with professionalism. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and truly appreciated his support. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
“Toria was very quick to respond. She made sure to ask what all was expected of her. She also took several pictures through the visit which I appreciate. I would work with her again”
“Cali is wonderful with our cats. She keeps us informed with daily detailed updates along with multiple pictures. We had issues with another sitter we had booked and Cali was able to step in last minute. I appreciate her flexibility and accountability. I would definitely recommend her and we plan on rebooking again in the future.”
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
“Ann Marie has been a life-saver! She has been checking in on my dog Ruby for weeks now and has always been so flexible and communicative with me! Definitely recommend! 🙂”
“We had Ben drop in on our elderly cat while we were away, and she was well taken care of. She is a bit temperamental, and he adjusted her food accordingly to help with her stomach problems. I'm happy that we had him come over so we had some peace of mind.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I love dogs of all sizes. A lot of my clients I dog sit for reply on me for letting their dogs out, playing with them, giving them lots of love and treats - of course, and taking them on walks I’m currently working part time so I will have time to let your dogs out and feed them. My work schedule is also super flexible. I like to follow instructions given to me by the owner(s). Whatever you would like to happen, I’m open to.

About: Hi! I bring years of hands-on experience from running an emergency and critical care animal rescue, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm confident handling medication administration, injections, mobility support, and other complex care routines. At home, I care for my sweet blind dog with medical issues and a high-energy puppy, so I understand the importance of both patience and structure. I have extensive expierence with both cats and dogs, but am more than happy to care for any pet you may have 🥰 Whether your pet needs quiet care, extra attention, or high-energy playtime, I’ll treat them like family and provide reliable, loving support while you're away. I currently work Monday- Friday, but am available for all of your petcare needs! My schedule is flexible! Please let me know if adjustments are needed! I have a large yard, and a seperate room for pets if needed. Our yard is not fenced, but we have a supervised tie out, or leash walks! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play, or can be kept seperate if needed. I also have a very friendly cat! We live on an awesome walking trail, and I go running every day with my dog.
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”

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.
