“Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!”
“Kyla went above and beyond when she came over to take my pup outside. She sent pics and eased my mind on my first day back to work after adding the new puppy to our family. She’s a great communicator and very easygoing. I will definitely be asking (begging) her to come back! ?”
“I highly recommend her, she is very responsible, she arrives on time and takes good care of your pet, she sends you photos of the moment, which I thought was very nice of her”
About: I’ve always had a love for taking care of animals and I got to pursue my passion in high school by taking the Whitehouse Vet Med program to become a certified Vet assistant. I’m currently working on getting into the tjc Vet program they have as well. I have plenty of animals at home as well as many of my friends. They would sometimes ask me questions about their pets regarding their health or they would ask me to care for them while they’re gone. I’m almost always surrounded by pets. For house sitting services: Text me for pricing arrangements! I am negotiable depending on where you live, your ideal budget, and all! I have two dogs at home so if they were coming to my home with me, I’d first put them up or take them somewhere else so the pet I’m caring for can get comfortable and used to the new setting. Then I will do all that is instructed by the owner whether that be following their food schedule, walking, or letting them use the restroom outside.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and currently have two dogs of my own. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I cared for and spent time with animals of different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Your pets will be treated with the same love, kindness, and care that I give my own! In my photos you will be my two dogs and many other dogs I have helped care for. I am currently a college student and am looking for ways to help out in my free time! I will mainly be available on the weekends and some weekends. I promise to treat your animals just a well as I treat my own. I have two dogs and two cats so I have lots of experience caring for animals. I know how stressful it can be to trust others with your animals so any list given will be followed exactly.
About: Ever since I was a toddler, I always been surrounded by animals. Whether is a dog, cat, bunnies, chickens, and so forth. I always had compassion for animals, so I’m trying to save up to become a vet tech. I currently own 4 dogs, Pekingese, Peke-zu, and 2 Chows , so I’m pretty used to the chaos. I know some basic commands such as sit, down,and leave it, so if you need help with that I’ll gladly teach your pet. I also don’t mind if your pet needs a bath and blow dry, just let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my dog dryer and brushes. Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward in meeting you and taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed, so I definitely will have time in looking after your pet. I normally wake up as early as 5:30 am since my dogs are my alarm clock since they’re ready for food by 6am. I will prefer at home dog sitting since I have 4 dogs at my house and depending on your dog it might be overwhelming for them. I have slip leashes if you need help with corrections if your pet tends to pull when going on walks.
About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I have one golden retriever who loves to play and make new friends. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. We love walking around our neighborhood and going to the park! I am currently a stay at home mom to my 10 month old daughter. I am available throughout the day and weekends and can definitely work with a flexible schedule to accommodate. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
About: I have been around animals all my life! I currently have 5 babies! My little boy, 2 dogs (a lab mix & a chi-weenie) and 2 cats (a tortie queen & a maine-coon mix). From the time I was a young girl through my college years I helped my grandparents take care of cows and chickens. I currently work part time and I'm a delivery driver as well so it fits perfectly into my schedule! Currently I am able to look after pets on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I'm hoping to expand into the work week soon. I'll look after your babies as if they were my own! I have a fenced in inner back yard as well as a fenced in outer yard. Inside I have two litter boxes for the kitties.
“Bailey was great with my cat who is very shy. Bailey took very good care of her and was even able to get Poppy to come out and greet her and she sent pictures to me. Very pleased, will hire her again!♥️♥️♥️”
About: I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs, and pet sitting for families I know, including caring for my bosses’ dogs and cat when they were away. I also grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and a safe routine. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, walks, basic care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from the owner, because every dog has their own personality and needs. I currently work part time and remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I can help during the day and/or over night as needed I cannot bring pets home as I live in an apartment where no pets are allowed, but I can definitely go and stay at clients house as needed
About: I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. This can include walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, cuddle time, and simply keeping them company so they feel relaxed and secure in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. As a proud dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life. Beyond caring for my own dog, I’ve helped family and friends by looking after their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. These experiences have taught me how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone else’s furry family member. I work full-time as a manager, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need during my visits. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Because I have a dog at home, I do not offer boarding services. While my husky is friendly, I believe being realistic about the services I can provide helps ensure the best experience and safety for every pet in my care. Dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already part of my routine — through walks, care, and helping my family pets feel loved Because of the dog I have at home, I do not offer the boarding service. Although friendly, it just is not a realistic service for me.

I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pup.

I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.

“She worked with me with my 3 puppers, and was able to drop in without meeting them ahead and made them feel so safe and happy. One of my little ones has bad anxiety and I’m so grateful to her that she came and saw them in the middle of my long shift and gave them an outside break to play!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for.

About: I have plenty of free time to walk and play with your dogs and cats and keeping both you and them happy. My schedules are super flexible and I can housesit your pets whenever when you’re off to work. I can also bathe them if they have been playing in the backyard, rolling in the dirt, and gets too stinky. I do have two cats, the black one is named Happy and the orange one is named Teo. They are super sweet and I’m pretty sure our pets will get along super well! I will have a dance party with your little best friends.

I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk with your fur babies. I’m available most of the time, just shoot me a message! I currently don’t have any pets in my house, so it’s perfect if your fur babies are shy or don’t do well with other pets.
“Genesis was a great pet sitter, taking wonderful care of both of our cats. She arrived on time and took care of all requested items. We will definitely be using her again! She's also great about sending videos and pictures and leaving a Rover card each day. Highly recommend.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bascom
10/10!!! Best sitter I could ask for! I’ve always worried about leaving my babies with someone else, but not with Jessica! She ensure my babies received some love when she came by, fed and gave them water, noted their litter boxes were being used, and even sent photos of how they were doing. The ease I felt to be able to be okay knowing they were well taken care of was much needed and secured Jessica as my sitter for all future needs! Thank you so much for caring for my littles!!!

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.
