About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have a dog named Jaxson who is the center of my world. I absolutely love animals and love caring for them. My current schedule is very flexible and I work from home for the most part. This gives me the opportunity to work around any kind of walking or pet care schedule and really prioritize your pets needs. I have a 12 year old dog and live in an apartment so my place isn’t the best for hosting other pets. I can only care for pets in their homes.
“Incredible with my pets, clearly spent time with them — picked their favorite toys, actually sat with them and made them very comfortable. Attentive, picks up on the little details, and so personable! Will definitely be looking for her name next time I’m out of town.”
“Shyla was the perfect match for drop in visits for our dog and cat! She ensured that all their needs were met and was very consistent with her visits. Her communication was excellent and there were always cute pictures included. She went above and beyond to make sure we could return to a calm house after our trip. Overall would highly recommend and we will definitely plan to book with her again!”
“My cats can be a little shy with strangers and it seems like they warmed right up to her from day one! I came home from a week away to both of them happy and well taken care of, she did an excellent job!”
“Mikayla is wonderful! The dogs loved her. Enjoyed the daily report card and accompanying photos. Highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her again next time need someone to check on my dogs.”
“If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker, I can't recommend Claire enough! She took wonderful care of Sam, kept me posted with photo updates, and made sure all needs were met. Knowing my dog was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have grown up around cats & dogs as long as I can remember. From puppies to adults & seniors I’ve always had a love for them. I’ve had several dogs of all ages throughout my life. I’ve always prioritized their happiness and wellbeing and will do anything in my power to keep them protected and cared for. Currently, I have a kitten (Esther), and a dog (Santo 4yrs). I’ve had them both from 8wks old and they are my world. I completely understand that sometimes it gets a little tricky to manage their schedule along with yours, so I’d love to help! I’m an active person and love to walk! Although I’m new to Rover I have several years of animal experience! I’m currently working evening shifts and working my way towards an EMT certification, my mornings and mid days are available for quality time with your furry friends! In some cases I am fully available weekends! I always prioritize safety with my own pets & will always do the same for yours! My dog is always on leash with a harness for HIS protection. I prefer harnesses as they don’t put pressure on the throat if they pull on a leash vs a collar. Even my kitty is leash and harness trained! I’m aware of our surroundings and can quickly recognize when another animal in our path is uneasy or not friendly & will always avoid and maintain space.
“Thank you so much for looking after Scooter with such care and attention!! We had such a great trip in Japan and we appreciated your diligence in loving Scooter in our place and keeping us updated along the way! And thank you so much for our flower arrangement!! Such a surprise and welcoming gift after traveling for roughly 20 hours, much appreciated thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️ 100000000/10”
“This was the 2nd time we've asked Kyla to watch after our cat Winston while we were gone. Just like the first time she did an excellent job. We came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat! We even has some wrenches we threw into her scheduled drop ins with fanily staying at our house of and on and Kyla was very flexible. Thanks Kyla!”
“Janessa was all we could have asked for and more for our doggo! She even came by to spend time with him a little extra one day just because. She went above and beyond to give him attention and get some energy out! Her updates were also amazing! Thanks so much.”
“I have used Mary Jane twice now. I have yet to be disappointed, Mary is great at sending pictures and keeping me in the loop of what’s going on. My dogs gave her a run for her money this time but she was a trooper the whole time. I will be using her in the future for sure.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with labs mostly but friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and love their pets. I have an Olde English bulldog and a Mini Schnauzer. I am comfortable with any size dog as well. I also lived in Vegas so I’m very experienced with dogs in the heat! I am an attorney who works fully remote!! I have two dogs of my own that get me out of the house and keep me active. I am very attentive to my dogs and any dog I watch. I stick to a regular schedule and watch for any communication animals are giving me!!

Requests for boarding are carefully screened for various safety criteria. We are surrounded by a big irrigation ditch & wonderful trails, which are a lot of fun for swimmers, but obviously comes with responsibility and is not a good fit for all dogs. Dogs will be exposed to ticks, field grass, potential obstacles in the water, other walkers in the area, and light traffic. It is essential that we are all a good match before agreeing to board. Dogs must follow basic commands & have excellent recall despite wildlife distractions. Therefore, we do require a scheduled Meet & Greet with your dog on our property prior to accepting a boarding. Thank you for your understanding! I look forward to meeting you and your treasured friends! Insured through Pet Care Insurance, PCI I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule. I'm happy to drop in to feed, play, and/or care for your loved one as well as house sit over night while you catch up on R & R or business. Your little friend is also welcome to hang out with my crew, walk, hike or swim if desired. We recently emptied our nest and as such, I am now available for extended stays! I am fluent in raw feeding and animal nutrition, special/prescription diets, and homemade meals. I have medical experience and am comfortable with post-op, injured/recovery, puppies, and a wide variety of holistic modalities. Additionally, I can coordinate care or services for your fur babies with your Veterinarian, Groomer, Therapist, Trainer etc! If your buddy is fortunate enough to hang out with my crew, they will quickly become part of our family & enjoy our wide open space & lifestyle- it’s a dog’s dream! Additional services I offer include care coordination, property management, personal assistant, co-hosting vacation rentals, and special needs animal care. We are fortunate to have trails & fields running in several directions from our 5 acre property. We also have a big ditch that follows the trails, which the dogs love to swim & splash in. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, if nearby. There are excellent walking trails and parks on the west end available to explore. We do not visit dog parks for health & safety reasons. ** Our property is not fenced, therefore, boarding is determined on an individual basis and your animal assessed to ensure a safe stay. ** I'm perfectly content to play & care for your animals according to your schedule and needs. I'll ask for clear instructions from you and that all supplies are readily available for use so we can maximize our bonding time. For working breeds especially, I enjoy a variety of mental & physical play, as well as scent walks. Frisbee is a favorite game of ours, and sometimes we engage in mental and/or agility work on our track. Snuggles & loves are always free!!
“10/10 what an amazing week! So happy we trusted our dog with Samantha! Very informative and kind and gave our dog lots of love and played ball every day! He was excited to see her every single day!”
“We have been using Franklin and Barbara for daily drop-ins over the past few weeks. They have been prompt with responding and great with letting our puppy out for a bathroom break and feeding. So glad we were able to find them through Rover!”

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
