“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing! Made me feel completely at ease to leave my 13 year old Maltipoo in her hands. She also had me fill out paperwork for more detail on Stella which was amazing that I didn’t have to think to leave instructions! We will be using Amy again for Stella for sure!”

About: No pup is too big and no cat is too small! From big dogs like shepard mixes, pit bull mixes, retrievers and labs, ive cared for them all. Puppies and kittens as small as my hand I have experience with as well. I have no fear when it comes to breeds of any animal. I am eager to learn any pets unique personality and lifestyle! I currently babysit part time and have an at home art business painting pet portraits so I am pretty flexible every day of the week. Including weekends! In my clients home I care for their pets with positive energy, reliability and respect. Not only for one’s pet but for their home as well. I always make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure every pet is as comfortable as possible. I am big on communication so anytime I am of service I will always have my phone to give updates or answer any questions.
About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day! She’s good around other dogs and people though! Animals truly bring joy into my life, and I’d be honored to take care of your pet like part of my own family I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ✨ My Daily Pet-Care Routine ✨ I currently work night shift, but I’m usually home between 6:40–7:00 AM. Morning I arrive home and feed my dog, then we play, cuddle, and bond for a few hours After a short break, she goes outside around 9:30–10:00 AM for fresh air & potty time Midday Around 12:00–12:30 PM, I feed my girls again They eat twice a day, but I’m happy to follow your dog/cat’s feeding schedule! Afternoon Another potty/play break around 2:00 PM Back outside again around 3:00 PM Evening • She’s allowed to stay out of her crate freely until about 8:00 PM, which is her cozy “bedtime” At this time I’m willing to do Client drop in , day time day care your pets will be treated like mine , grooming (only bathes & nail clipping) and dog walking.
“David took great care of my two cats with his drop-in visits. He even brought our trash cans in for us! David communicated with me about my pets and when he was going to be late. I would definitely book him again!”

About: Pet Care Services for Dogs and/or Cats!! For Dogs: We’re all about giving dogs room to roam, explore, and thrive while you’re away, with plenty of attention, enrichment, and love. 🐶 Large fenced outdoor space to Roam, Run & Play 🚶♂️ Daily 1-2 miles Walks & Exploration filled with new sights, smells, and adventures. 📸 Photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy 🚐 Pick-Up & Drop-Off Available for $2 per mile + toll For Cats: We offer a dedicated cat-only room designed for comfort, calm, and play. 🐱 Cat-only boarding space – no dogs, no stress 🛏️ Cozy beds, perches, and hideaways for your cat to feel at home 🐾 Plenty of playtime, toys, and enrichment 💕 Daily love, cuddles, and personalized care 📸 Photo updates so you can relax knowing your kitty is happy My wife and I are both retired young, so we could spend more time with our golden retrievers. Since our retirement, our lives have primarily revolved around our dogs. If your dogs have a good off-leash recall, they are welcome to join the same daily routine as our dogs. Every day, on average, we walk with them 1-2 miles in the morning and another 1-2 miles in the afternoon. In addition, they play, run, and do agility exercises between the walks. All our dogs sleep in their own crates for the night and rest in their crates when no one is at home. If your dog sleeps in your bed at night and roams freely unsupervised in the house when no one is home, we might not be a good fit for you. We live on a 50-acre land with a half-mile sandy track on our property. Our entire property is completely fenced in. Additionally, we have fenced yards within our fenced land for the dogs to run around freely.
About: We are the epitome of an animal family and have had dogs and cats our whole lives! In addition to having our own fur baby's, we volunteer with a rescue at their events and foster and train puppies 1 week a month. Our children even want to be vets and have taken kids vet classes. The adults in the house work from home and provide plenty of walks and love all throughout the day. Our fur guests are always treated like family when they are here. Both adults in the house work from home and provide walks and outside play time at least every 2 hours (more if we have a puppy). We love to take our pups on daily walks throughout the whole development in additional to backyard play time. We have a very pet friendly development and will take your pups on walks and playtime in the backyard. We offer mimicking your home care so if you crate train, we will crate train. If your fur baby sleeps in your bed, your fur baby can sleep in our bed. We have dog beds and toys throughout the house and our own dogs for your pup to play with throughout the day. Your dogs will always be treated like our own while they are here and get plenty of love and attention.
About: I'm Batool and I'm 24 years old. I grew up in a home that loved taking stray cats in and have taken care of animals for most of my life. I've walked, played with and house sat for my co-workers' and clients' dogs. I'm most comfortable with small and medium sized dogs and I love hanging out with high energy puppies. I'm reliable, I prioritise open and clear communication, and I'm available to take care of your furry friend as my own. I'm currently job searching for full-time roles, and have plenty of time during the week and the weekends to walk, play with and spend quality time with your pet. I prioritise respecting my clients' space and following the routine they maintain for their pet. For walks, potty breaks and food I ensure punctuality. I understand every dog has their own personality and needs, and I account for it in my care. If your pup just needs me to be around, I'm around. If your pup loves loads of play time, I'm ready to play.
About: I have hands-on experience as a vet assistant and love caring for pets of all ages. From playful pups to seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. As a vet assistant and student, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I’m home most of the week and available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11 AM, plus often all day Friday - Sunday. Since I already care for my own dogs daily, giving other pets love, walks, and attention is an easy and fun part of my routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow their routine, give plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keep things clean and secure. With my vet assistant experience, I bring extra care and attention, treating every pet like my own.

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.
