“This was our second time using Isabella as our sitter and of course she over exceeded our expectations! She’s amazing with communication and the way she cared for our dogs she treats them like they’re hers. My dogs love her, we love her! I don’t think Isabella truly understand how much we appreciate being able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our babies, she’s the best!”
“Bradley recently provided a drop in visit for our 2 dogs. He was respectful and courteous and our dogs love him. We would not hesitate to use Bradley again should the need arise. Thank you Bradley from all of us”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and more. My husband and I currently have 6 cats and 2 dogs so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. ❤️ Safety is always my #1 priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, body language, and individual needs. Whether your pet is outgoing and wants to be my best friend immediately or needs a little extra time and patience to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I also know firsthand just how particular animals can be! If your pet will only eat in a certain room, needs their food prepared a specific way, prefers you to stand nearby while they eat, has a special feeding routine, or has any other little quirks I completely understand. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a Corgi if that helps confirm anything 😂 I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, treats, walks, potty routines, medications, crates, sleeping arrangements, playtime, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. No detail is “too much” when it comes to your animals, you know them best, and I want to care for them the way you would. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave home without worrying about whether your pets are safe, comfortable, and being loved. I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want someone to give my own. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of sitter who will happily send you plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! 🤍 My husband and I work from home but our job does require a lot from us so I am only able to provide sporadic walks/drop ins during the week day. Weekends are definitely more open! I am able to provide care inside and outside of my home. One of my dogs is reactive on walks however he is best friends with our other dog who is much smaller. He would be perfectly fine with a smaller dog in our house but I am not comfortable bringing a bigger dog into his space. We have a pretty decent size, fenced in back yard for them to run around.
About: i worked for a vets office as a kennel tech so i love all animals big and small! Growing up we always had dogs so i’ve grown up them! I Currently work at John’s Hopkins all children’s hospital 3 days a week for 12 hrs i’m also starting nursing school in september but it will be online for a little bit giving me time on my days off and days that i work to give the proper attention and love to your fur babies! I’ll follow whatever rules you have for your fur babies to keep their routine the same while you are gone and give them all the love!
“Karla has been absolutely wonderful with Bow & Max! She’s very responsive and has great availability. I know my pups are safe and well taken care of ❤️ They are always happy in the pupdate pictures I get! Thank you Karla! 😃”
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.
About: I’ve been the designated pet babysitter for my extended family for years. I often house sit or drop-in visit and have taken care of dogs at all life stages, from rowdy puppies to seniors with a laundry list of pills to take. I’ve got free time in my schedule so I am open to watching weekends and most weekdays. I am open to watching them for a long weekend so you can get away knowing your furry friends are taken care of! The most important part of watching pets in the home is keeping to their established routine. I’ve found that dogs are always more comfortable when disruption is kept to a minimum.
“Bethany and Will were awesome! Not a day went by that we didn't receive pictures of our kitties! It was a great comfort knowing they were in good hands while we were gone.”
“I had to get help last minute and Joshua was quick to respond and take my dogs on for the next 4 days. He has been a great help as I was going out of town to see a sick grandparent. Very good with the dogs and prompt with his timing. I will definitely use him again! Loved the convenience.”
“My boys were well taken care of and I got some cute photos on my trip for peace of mind. Her response time was excellent and I didn’t have a second of worry about my boys. I was able to enjoy my vacation with the knowledge my kitties were shown love and care the whole time. Will definitely book again.”
“Ruth was terrific and extremely organized. Super convenient and prompt in responding through the app. Her check ins were right on time and she took lots of pictures!”
“Shawnee was awesome! It’s comforting to know your furbaby is in capable hands, and I never doubted her abilities. Daily pictures provided a great connection with Precious while I was away and assured me I made the right choice in trusting Shawnee with my most treasured little companion.”
About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.
About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have provided dog-sitting and currently cat-sit, as well as offer drop-in visits to feed pets, let dogs out, provide companionship, and follow any specific instructions from their owners. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for a cat who has been staying with me, and Monday through Friday I care for two of my neighbors’ dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, and spending time playing with them. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. In my home, I care for our dogs and cats by feeding and watering them, grooming and bathing them, playing with them, and working on basic training. I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the same level of care and attention they are used to.
About: I’ve had a fascination with dogs since I was 8 and today I love taking my care of them to see each dogs personality and to be able to give them love and care. I would treat them like a child of mine I wake up Every day and take care of my baby outside of that I don’t have any hobbies besides taking care of my dog as well, so taking care of your animal will ensure I’m on my feet and happy I make sure water is ensured at all times, when they have to use the bathroom the backyard is always assessable for bathroom time and they are walked and played with whenever need be

My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.

Isabella was fantastic. She was great with our babies. They were always so excited when she came over for her drop in. She spent the time with them and made sure they were well taken care of. She went above and beyond and helped with a few issues that came up as well. I highly recommend her, we will be booking again with her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bartow stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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.

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.
