“Gina was so kind and considerate to not only my dog but me as well! I have a lot of anxiety surrounding pet sitters and having strangers in my home and around my baby but she made me and Bruno feel so comfortable! She took her time with him which really made a difference, he is not the type of dog to immediately trust someone so i needed someone willing to go slow. I will definitely be contacting her for future use! I would recommend Gina to any pet parent!”

“We absolutely love Lindsay! This is our second time having her watch our kitty, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s caring, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Every day she sends us the cutest photos and little updates, which make us feel so comfortable and connected while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing our kitty is in such good hands. We’ll definitely keep booking with Lindsay; she’s the best! 💕🐾”

About: Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers to Pit Bulls and everything in between, I've had the privilege of raising and caring for dogs throughout every stage of life. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality and needs. Before joining Rover, I regularly provided dog sitting and drop-in visits for family members and members of my church community while living in Puerto Rico. Those and my personal experiences taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. What sets me apart is that I don't believe in "just watching" your pet—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and give them the attention they deserve, whether that's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog mom myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience, with regular updates and plenty of love every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a part-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. As a dog owner myself, I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets receive lots of love and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. •Daily Pet Care Schedule 8:00 AM – Morning Routine Morning potty break/walk Fresh water refill Breakfast feeding Morning playtime and attention 12:00 PM – Midday Check-In Potty break Short walk or play session Fresh water check Extra attention and companionship 4:00 PM – Afternoon Activity Walk or outdoor time Playtime and enrichment activities Check on comfort and needs 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Evening meal Fresh water refill Relaxation and affection 8:00–9:00 PM – Evening Routine Final potty break/walk Calm playtime or cuddles Ensure pets are comfortable before bedtime I understand every pet has their own routine, so I’m always happy to adjust feeding, walking, and care schedules based on each owner’s instructions and their pet’s individual needs. In my client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable staying in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while keeping owners updated,whether thats through videos or pictures, so they have peace of mind and show how their pets well being. Every pet is treated like family and cared for with the same love and patience I give my own. House Sitting 🐾 ***Please note that my dog, Frida, will accompany me during house-sitting stays. Because she is part of my daily routine, she will be with me throughout the stay. By booking house sitting with me, you acknowledge and agree to Frida being present in your home. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, comfort level, and any concerns during our required meet & greet before accepting the booking.

About: I grew up on a farm so I’m used to all kinds of shapes and sizes. I’ve also worked in the animal care industry for the last 10 years. Between dog boarding facilities, both private and corporate, to grooming, management and vet assistant experience, I will always work with animals. They’re a staple in my life and I’d like to be able to care for any future clients, as I would my own personal pets. I’m very detailed and will communicate anything and everything! Im currently working 4 days a week and have 2 set days off. That being Wednesday and Sunday. I’d like to drop down from my day job down to 2-3 days but still enjoy spending time with pets. Anytime after 7am Wednesday (gym in the mornings), and before 7pm on Sunday I will be available. I have a senior dog, and I’ve had multiple dogs in the past that needed extra attention and patience. Some dogs I’ve had also needed a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve done raw diets, freeze dried, dry and wet food. I’m able to give supplements and medications as well.

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs until their passing of old age or adoption. I’m very kind and loving towards all animals. I work full time, but I have 3 days off during the week and I would love to take care of your pet in my free time! I understand that giving access to someone else’s home and pet can be scary, but I assure you that I will take good care of your pet and your home!

About: I am a fun and trustworthy pet caregiver and would love to help you with all of your pet care needs. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding, bathing, and playing. Is this your first time using Rover? Ask me about how to get $20 off your first stay! For cat care I offer drop in visits to your home and do not currently board cats. But in your home I am happy to care for them and will meet them were their at! If they need distance I'll be respectful of that, if they want cuddles, I'm all about it. I am comfortable feeding and changing litter. I bathe dogs by request. Let me know if you would like this service. I am home all day. There will always be someone with them. I have experience with older pups, pups with separation anxiety, and health issues. Please reach out for questions about your dogs unique needs. I have a medium/large sized fenced in yard and no other pets of my own. In my home I will provide loving care including playing, walking, feeding, and bathing as needed. I will take your dog on two walks a day as a minimum, and take them out for potty breaks several times per day in the back yard where they are able to also run and play. During the day dogs in my care tend to like to sit by me at my desk, or on the couch near my desk. I live in the subdivision of Bay Lakes, which is right by "restaurant row" on Sand Lake rd. I am 10 minutes from Universal/Islands of Adventure, 15 minutes from Sea World, 15 minutes from Disney Springs, and 20 minutes from Magic Kingdom. I'm home all day so I'll have plenty of time to care for your loved ones! We'll go on walks and play in the yard. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around and play in. Dogs are permitted to go outside any time they like, and I take them out every 2 hours for potty breaks. When we're inside and I'm on my computer they often like to lay next to me. :D When caring for dogs at my home, I maintain a structured schedule to ensure their well-being and happiness. Each day typically includes designated times for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Additionally, I adhere to consistent meal times to regulate their digestion and provide ample opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. Furthermore, I establish a bedtime routine to promote relaxation and ensure they get enough rest. This structured approach helps maintain their routine and provides a sense of security during their stay. In both my home and my client's home, prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets is paramount. Here's how I ensure optimal care: 1. Safety Measures: I conduct a thorough pet-proofing of the space, removing any potential hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or electrical cords. Secure gates and barriers are utilized to prevent access to off-limits areas. Additionally, I keep cleaning supplies and medications stored securely out of reach. 2. Trust Building: I establish a bond with the pets through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency. Spending quality time with them, engaging in play, and offering treats help foster trust and a sense of security. Following the owner's instructions and routines also reinforces trust between all parties involved. 3. Comfortable Environment: I create a cozy and familiar setting for the pets by providing comfortable bedding, favorite toys, and maintaining a consistent daily routine. I ensure they have access to fresh water, proper ventilation, and suitable temperature conditions. Additionally, I offer plenty of opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation to keep them content and happy. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, I aim to provide the best possible care for pets in both my home and my client's home.

About: You know that girl at parties hanging out with the dog of the house instead of mingling? That’s me, I’m that girl!! I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals and have such respect & love for them, dogs in particular💜 My best fur friend Buster passed away at age 16 and it’s been an adjustment in my house, I have a lot of time on my hands, and would love to offer my services and attention to my community! I have dealt with separation anxiety and senior care (my fur baby had kidney issues in the end and required a lot of fluids injections) and am comfortable administering medications so I am willing to work with you & your needs. Upon request, I can also check your mail, bring in packages, water your plants, and do other small household tasks/chores to ensure that you have no worries while you're away. I look forward to meeting you! Spayed & neutered animals only please. I work part time, and my weeks are pretty flexible for drop ins and walks/care throughout the day so I’m available to spend as much time your pets need and give them all the lovins! I have a completely fenced yard and no current animals in my home, so your pet will get a lot of attention! I have a lot of space and can crate your pet if that’s what’s needed, and live in a gated community. Self transportation, and because I’m in a good area in Ocoee, between Windermere & Winter Garden, it’s great for drop ins as needed and I can be readily available.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attentiveness and will to make sure the dogs’ are given the proper care and treatment they need regardless of age. I have experience taking care of different dogs and cats including older animals, young animals including puppies and kittens. I used to take care of multiple french bulldogs in the past and they have shown me how strong of characters animals can have. I am a very big animal lover and am willing to do what is needed in order to give them the best care. I am currently in school at UCF but majority of my classes are online! I can manage online classes with my laptop and be aware of the scheduling for each dog. Multitasking is very important to me and having a controlled routine. Multiple people ask me to help with their dog/ cat and I always happily accept. I make time within my schedule to take care of their pet and for however long they need me for. I am very good at following instructions. I can feed them, walk them, play with them, make sure they are crated, if they have a set sleep schedule, I can assist with that as well.

Alec and I connected right away in our first few messages. From the beginning she has been flexible and accommodating to my schedule and my pets needs. As soon as she met my fur babies I think she fell in love with them and them with her! She was always on time for the scheduled drop in visits and very communicative. She sent videos and pictures that myself and my daughter enjoyed. There was a slight hiccup in the beginning with our door lock, she reached out right away and took charge to ensure the care of my animals. 10 out of 10 recommend! And I will definitely be reaching out to book her again in the future.

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.
