“Theresa is a superstar!! We mistakenly gave her a key that didn’t work and she went above and beyond to get the correct key while we were out of town. Felt terrible that we had made such a big mistake but she was very reassuring that she wasn’t going to give up on our pets. She sent us a bunch of sweet pictures every day and a very detailed update that left us feeling at ease and sure that our pets were safe, cared for, and getting lots of attention. Great communication from start to finish, we felt like she took care of our little ones as well or better than friends/family!”

About: Hey y'all! I'm a looooong time fur mom and lover of all animals. We have a 3 goofy rescues Innu, Brodie Lee and lil sis Alora, but we want to help 'em make more friends! They are SUPER dog friendly and so are we. We take them on walks through our neighborhood and local parks which can lead to off path walking, so I may have to give a bath to your fur babies. We live in a hard wood floor house so accidents are no sweat to us! Our home is well kept and very animal friendly. I've worked in shelters, rescues, and have had many rehabilitated and injured fur babies throughout my life. My kids are my helpers as they are ready for new dogs with different levels of activities and have learned basic training methods from following me. We're here to be the safest and BEST sitters in the metro! I work remotely from my office which looks out into the back yard and allots me a great deal of time to really bond and have a good time sitting others pups! With all to do in the city I just know your pups will enjoy us as much as ours do. I have a oddly terrained fenced yard with a flat patio and tons of shady spots for the dogs to lounge for as long as they please (weather permitting). I leave a big ole' water bowl out there as well - holds 2 gallons and I fill it every day at the beginning and throughout the day.

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗

About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. This is my only job at the moment so I am very flexible. Soon, though I may do some substitute teaching but that is a nice job too because it’s also very flexible. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or other special care.

About: As someone who has owned and trained a rescue dog with both stranger and dog reactivity for the past two years, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy, experienced pet sitter. Every dog deserves compassionate, patient care, regardless of their behavioral challenges. Through working with professional trainers and extensively studying canine behavior and reactivity, I've gained valuable experience in recognizing triggers, managing stress, building trust, and maintaining consistent training routines. I understand that building a relationship with a reactive dog takes time, patience, and respect for their boundaries. My priority is ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you're away. In addition to my experience with reactive dogs, I've helped friends train their puppies, focusing on positive experiences, confidence building, and helping them navigate the world comfortably. I'm also comfortable providing basic care, including nail trims when tolerated, ear cleaning, and administering oral medications, vitamins, or supplements according to your instructions. I believe pet owners deserve to enjoy vacations, travel, or simply spend time away from home without worrying about their furry family members. I'll respect your dog's established routines, follow their existing training and management plans, and provide frequent updates, photos, and communication at no additional charge. My goal is simple: to give your dog the patience, consistency, and individualized care they deserve while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in capable, caring hands. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I typically finish my workday in the early afternoon, giving me availability for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, so incorporating pet sitting feels like a natural fit! I understand the importance of consistency, especially for dogs with anxiety or reactivity, and I'm happy to accommodate established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and training needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I'll maintain a secure environment by keeping hazards out of reach, following household rules, and respecting your pet's individual needs and triggers. I believe physical activity and mental enrichment are essential for a fulfilled pet! Our time together may include walks, interactive play, puzzle games, and plenty of downtime to recharge. I'll maintain your pet's established routines and training while providing patient, personalized care, especially for those with anxiety or reactivity. My goal is to keep your pet happy, engaged, and well cared for until your return!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care of fur babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have close to an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have almost an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can give them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.

He also took time to play with the younger one. Visits were always on time. Will gladly rebook him to look after my dogs for my next trip.”

About: As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I love them all. I’ve owned both cats and dogs, so whether you’ve got an energetic doggo that needs lots of movement, a homebody pup that loves cuddles, or a shy kitty who just wants someone’s presence nearby, I am happy to accommodate to offer them the care they need. I have provided lots of exercise enrichment for the dogs I’ve cared for. I genuinely enjoy walking, so it makes both of our days when your pup(s) loves walking too! I also run and would be happy to take your dog on a run if you’re looking to give them some extra exercise. If you’re looking for a friendly and trustworthy person who will treat your pets kindly and with love, please reach out! Are you going out of town? Working long hours? Having guests visit? Wanting more activity for your fur baby? Just need some extra help with pet care? I’d love to connect with you. I’m a part-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule right now, so I’d be happy to stop by for a walk or visit during the day, or stay with your pet if you’re away! I understand how important routine is to animals, and I am happy to accommodate your feeding, walking or bedtime routine to keep them feeling comfortable and cared for! Send me a message to let me know what your needs are and I’d be happy to discuss with you.

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.
