“Shyann was so helpful and wonderful with our babies! Our plans changed the day of the reservation and she was more than willing to accommodate and help us with everything. We will definitely use Shyann again.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Danielle cared for our two dogs while we went away for the weekend. She was on time every time every day and very friendly. Took time to play with each and was good at communicating with us.”

About: I love all animals especially dogs. I think they are the most loyal and loving animals on this earth. I have over 19 year of caring for dogs of all sizes. I have trained all my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. Dogs love me and they will be in good hands. I can crate your dog if you require and work on obedience training. I have over five acres that the dogs can run around and play, supervised of course. I have two dogs Latte and Brown and they provide great company to their visitors. I can provide pickup and drop off service. Cost is based on distance. Feel free to send me questions. Free meet and great upon request, and I can bring Latte and Brown for introductions.
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals for 6 plus years for all my local friends and family with the utmost joy. I have a remote job which allows me to work from home so my schedule is very flexible to take care of animals whenever needed. I treat every animals like my own and will take care of them with the utmost care. I follow any guidelines the animal owner has for me to take care of each animal with care.
About: I enjoy being around all types of pets. As I try to understand animals as well as making them feel understood in their own ways. I have been pet sitting for about 7 years, including drop in visits, walks and staying overnight. I currently work at Calvert Animal Hospital and have been there for 4 years. If your pet is in need of a medication administration there will be an additional charge. This price will depend on the medication, how much and how often. I currently work part time at Calvert Animal Hospital as well as am in community college full time. But I would like to stay in the animal field. Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing and enjoy helping people out. Caring for pets is truly a one of a kind job, I know with me as their sitter they will receive lots of love, treats and quality time and care throughout my stay.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was a child! I love all sorts of animals, and realize each 4-legged family member has their own personality traits and quirks! I have had dogs as small and sassy as a chihuahua, and as big and fast as a pitbull mastiff!! I work for myself and make my own schedules! So I am completely available 24/7 as needed! I mainly use public transportation but have my own vehicle all day on fridays and weekends and after 6:30pm on weekdays I will always be closely monitoring your baby for differences in behaviors, and any other issues! I am very quick on my feet and fast to react to any situation!
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
About: Over the years I have had experience with dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, and chickens. As an adult I have owned a rottweiler (2011-2019) and labradoodle(2016-2020) that I absolutely loved and made me fall in love with dogs. They are now angels watching over me. I currently have five kitties rocky (17yrs), Simba (7yrs), Gracie (2yrs), Penny (2yrs), and Bella (1yr). During COVID I had pet and food rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs. I work fulltime during the day usually Monday through Friday 5am-4pm. I work part time on the weekends for a DJ which is usually just Saturdays 3pm to 11pm depending on the event. I enjoy my down time caring for my furrbabies and making sure they have food and water and clean litter boxes. I am always trying to find new ways to make them live a better and happier life. I have a split foyer with 5 cute and lovable kitties. I have a temporary catio on my deck for them to safely enjoy the outdoors. I live in a semi quiet neighborhood that I enjoy taking longs walks around. I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and not scared as stress is not good for an animal. I love getting outside and going for walks so if your animal needs a walk, it will just make my heart happier to have company. Fuurbabies are family so I will treat your furrbaby just like if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies!

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.
