About: Hi! I’m Oli, a recent grad with almost ten years of experience petsitting. I’m back on Rover for the first time in a while after some of my long-term clients moved/had kids & aren’t in need of a sitter as frequently as before, and I’m looking forward to building relationships with new clients and making friends with your pets. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of dogs & cats of all ages and sizes with varying levels of needs, including rescues with significant anxiety/trauma and seniors with medical issues/cognitive decline. I can also maintain/clean freshwater fish tanks, and although I have minimal experience with exotic pets, I do have some familiarity with their needs and am quick & eager to learn more if you have any! Thanks so much for checking out my profile & considering me to take care of your non-human family members :^) I’m currently looking for work (great job market right now!!) and generally have a lot of free time. I’m mostly available during weekends and overnight during the week (when I know 100% that someone will be home to take care of Spencer), but I’m good to arrange weekday visits too!! Unfortunately, I cannot board your pet(s) in my home currently — my 14 y/o dog Spencer is ever-so-slightly senile and has developed some issues with reactivity & resource guarding

About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I had four dogs of my own growing up which I took a hands on role in caring for and playing with. I currently have 2 dogs whom I love! I have looked after dogs for both friends and family. I am reliable, trustworthy, playful and will look after your fur babies as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups & cats. I am able to make myself available on weekdays and weekends. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and/or cats, dog walking and overnight stays at the client's home when needed. I have experience with puppies & kittens up to seniors. I have had both dogs and cats of my own. I love animals and it would be a privilege to care for your dogs and cats.

About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

About: I absolutely Live for animals. Since I was small I knew working with animals was my passion. They bring me an extreme amount of joy and love and I promise to love and treasure your pup like it is my own. Many think of their dogs as "just dogs", I believe there is something deeper and far more special between a relationship with a person and their pet. My dogs are my family and I adore them. I have had dogs growing up my entire life, and when I was old enough to live on my own I started to rescue and foster senior and disabled dogs. I currently have a blind Pekingese who I rescued a day before euthanasia who is the love of my life, and a one eyed terrier who I rescued after being hit by car. I deny No pet, and usually I am the go to person when friends or family need a dog sitter if they are going out of town. I have worked with Both the ASPCA and Dogs without Borders in Hollywood, CA. If your pet stays with me it will be treated like my own, if I do stop in visits for walks they will enjoy time at the park and being outside. I have experience with deaf dogs, blind, and 3 legged dogs. Dogs who have been on 3x a day medicine, overly friendly dogs and the scared, timid dogs.

“Julia was amazing with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos that genuinely made my day—my cat looked so happy and relaxed with her! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, played with, and comfortable. I came home to a happy, calm cat and everything in perfect order. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would 100% book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”

I treat each home with care and respect and communicate with pet parents so they feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I have experience caring for pets through both professional work and personal ownership. I currently provide dog walking and pet care through Wag!, where I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs and more active breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to build trust with repeat clients by providing dependable, compassionate care. As a proud cat mom to two cats, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and recognizing each pet’s unique personality. In addition, I’ve volunteered with a cat rescue, where I cared for cats with a wide range of temperaments, cleaned enclosures, socialized cats, and administered oral and topical medications when needed. I also spent a year working at a family-owned pet store that specialized in dogs, cats, and exotic animals, giving me hands-on experience with daily animal care and pet wellness. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Since I also drive, I’m able to reliably travel to visits, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets feel happiest in their own home, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions before each visit. I always ensure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hey there, I’m Meg! I am an avid volunteer with both humans and pets, vegetarian, artist and huge animal lover. I have one very sweet 3 year old female shepherd mix who loves to make new friends. I have experience with a number of different types of animals in addition to dogs and cats (small mammals, birds, reptiles and some exotics) and a tremendous love and appreciation for all animals. I am responsible, punctual and super outgoing. I’ve been dog sitting, nannying and house sitting professionally for just about 10 years now. I provide dog sitting in my house or travel sitting in yours + will make sure your dog is happy, fed, walked and entertained while you're out! I have a lot of energy and love to take them for walks, and for calmer dogs that just like to be pet and lounge around, we can do that too! I’m comfortable administering medication as I’ve done it with my own dogs in the past and don’t mind giving baths or trimming nails with a Dremel if requested as well. I have excellent references, a clean license and safe car if transportation is needed. I’m so excited to hear from you! I work from home during the week and am available to play/have fun any weekend I’m booked to watch your little friend. I can take frequent walks/potty breaks and play as much as requested. have a fully fenced in dog-proofed yard with lots of toys and activities to do! I have 1 very social medium sized dog who loves having guests over and is always happy to welcome our home to other friends.

Susan came to my house for a meet and greet about 1 week before the first visit. She was cordial and pleasant. I explained everything to her regarding feeding instructions, the litter box and most importantly the administration of meds to Belle who has a history of seizures. She was able to administer the med to Belles ear flap successfully. She came during the hours specified and always sent me a message with a pic. I feel very comfortable with her as I can see she is very capable. I would recommend Susan K. To any cat owner.

I cannot thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my sweet pup! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, hoping to find the right sitter while I was out of town for a few hours. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease during our meet & greet and I got to see firsthand how sweetly she interacted with my dog. During the week, my pup came down with an ear infection and needed to take antibiotics. I told Stephanie, and she gave my dog the antibiotic with ease. She is trustworthy, dependable, and an all around great sitter.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
