“Breanna was amazing with Shylah!! She was super reliable, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including giving Shylah her medication. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while we were away. Shylah was well taken care of and we would absolutely book with Breanna again. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! We’re a family of 6 who all enjoy furry friends. My kids range from 16 down to 9. They love to help me keep the animals happy. Our little 20 pound dog is super friendly and enjoys meeting new dogs and seeing the friends she has made. I haven’t watched a dog she hasn’t warmed up to within a few minutes. We prefer smaller dogs, but if you have a gentle, nice, large dog we’d be happy to watch him/her. We’ve had a lot of fun with some of the friendly big dogs we’ve watched. We live in a safe neighborhood with a beautiful walking trail for the dogs who enjoy getting out. We promise to treat your dog like they’re part of our family. Thanks for considering us. We’d be happy to set up a meet and greet for those wanting to leave their dog for more than a day. Thank you! I am currently homeschooling 3 of my kids so we're home most of the day. A couple of days a week I run my kids to their activities, but we're usually not gone for more than 2 hours. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog to keep your dog company. My 4 kids also love dogs so we'll give your dog lots of love and attention.
“Angelina’s care and contact were so appreciated to know my pups were taken care of while out of town. Very attentive and punctual, her care, professionalism, and more importantly genuine care for animals was greatly appreciated. Thank you again Angelina for taking such great care of my pups!”


About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.
“This was my first time using Rover - or any pet sitter and I was a little nervous to be honest. Cindia was very professional, reliable and communicative. She made sure to set up a meeting before we booked her, she asked questions to make sure we were on the same page and was even able to pet and bond with my two very shy cats! She made the entire process run smoothly and we would absolutely book her again. Cindia you did a great job, thank you!”

About: I recognize the anxiety your pet experiences when you're not present and the challenge of finding a caregiver who will provide exceptional love and attention. I aim to ensure my new furry friend feels comforted and loved during this time, while also providing reassurance for their owners. Working remotely provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing for multiple visits and walks throughout the day to help fit your pets needs each day. I offer 15 minute drop ins to feed/water and play with your pet or 30 minute walks. Our family dog Ford has a life full of excitement, having 5 kids he gets a ton of love and attention. So when we’re gone on a trip I know he’s sad and lonely … I want to provide a safe and loving experience for your FUR baby as I know the feeling having to leave a big part of your family behind.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, ages, and sizes. I’m offering walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication along the way! Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility in my day, which makes pet care a really natural fit for my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them, whether that means going for a walk, giving them some extra attention and playtime, or simply keeping them company while their family is away. I do have a family, so I’m mindful about planning my schedule around our family commitments. That said, working from home gives me the flexibility to organize my time thoughtfully and make sure I can be present and attentive when caring for your pets. I’d love the opportunity to treat your pets like part of the family and give them the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet and your home in someone else’s care, so I treat that responsibility very seriously. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, surroundings, and anything that could potentially put a pet at risk. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is with me. I’ll communicate with you, provide updates and photos, and make sure your furry family member gets plenty of love, attention, and patience while you’re away. ❤️

“Cindy was reliable, consistent and helpful. Cindy was accessible and responsive anytime. We felt very comfortable meeting her for the first time and having her care for our 2 cats. She loves cats! We will definitely be calling her again.”
About: I've been Twixie's dog dad for six years, she's an SPCA rescue, so I know firsthand what it takes to help a dog feel safe, loved, and settled into a new routine from day one. I've trained her myself from scratch, and she now knows sit, stay, stop, down, roll over, high five, and even "boop," so I'm comfortable working through training and behavior, not just basic care. I also took care of family dogs growing up in young adulthood, so I'm used to adjusting to another dog's habits and quirks, not just my own. Beyond hands-on care, I compile videos of my dog, so paying close attention to dogs all day isn't a chore for me, it's already how I spend my time. Pet care is a genuine priority for me right now, not something squeezed around a job. I'm reliably available from 10am to 3pm, which is plenty of time for walks, play, and attentive care without rushing anything. That's a consistent window you can actually count on, not just "whenever I have time." Your dog would be cared for at my house, which has a fully fenced backyard — plenty of safe space to run and play — plus a park right across the street for longer walks. My own dog Twixie, a friendly SPCA rescue, is there too, so your pup won't be alone, she's used to sharing space with other dogs. I'm also able to crate your dog if that's part of their routine or if you'd prefer it. I pay attention to each dog's own routine, feeding, and boundaries rather than treating every dog the same way.
“Lauren has a gift with dogs and my dogs love her. She treats our dogs/house as if it were her own. She follows our notes perfectly and we appreciated her care of our plants and dog medications. We highly recommend Lauren!”
About: I have experience with my own dog since My childhood. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs for many years. I have a deep love and understanding for these wonderful animals, and have always found great joy in providing them with the care and attention they need. I am available seven days a week right now. I am home all the time. I am planning to do rover and take care of pets full time. I have big fence yard where pets can play, have fun and exercise. They will be in constant supervision and feed in the time they need.
About: I have worked at vet hospitals for 4+years and have cared for all ages. I have extensive experience with pets who need special attention, medication and sensitivities. I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have grown used to pet sitting at a client's house even while working full-time so I know how to juggle responsibilities. I treat them as if their my own! I make sure I know their routine and allergies, if any, and always update the owner if something seems "off". I always make sure I have the contact of their veterinarian and if they do not have one, I will go to one I used to work at if close by.

About: I have extensive experience in providing comprehensive care for a variety of pets, including [list types of pets, e.g., dogs, cats, birds, etc.]. My approach to pet care is grounded in understanding each animal's unique needs and ensuring their well-being through consistent, compassionate, and informed care. I am available on weekends and all holidays. I can pet sit at my place or, if needed, go to your place as long as it's within 10 miles. I have a fenced backyard. My house is near parks and has lots of space. I grew up with dogs around me all the time. I am healthy, have a good personality, and can play and run with the dog.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have always felt a strong connection with them. While growing up, we always had a dog, so I’ve been involved in the care and training of them my whole life. My first ever job was walking dogs when I was 8! My nickname growing up was Snow White because of my affinity for and ability to connect with animals. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so all of the love will go to your buddy. It is an ongoing joke among friends that their pets like me more than them sometimes! I’m not sure if that’s all the way true, but I do seem to have a special connection with animals. I also really enjoy taking portraits of animals. One of my favorite things is catching the unique personality of your pet that you know and love! I am happy to send these, along with updates about your pet, to you throughout the stay, as a generally summary at the end, or whenever requested! If you have any questions or there are specific needs for the care of your pet, please reach out. I would like to connect with you and discuss the stay to go through everything and make sure it is a good fit for everyone. I look forward to hearing from you! ☺️ I work full time, but only four days a week. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do frequent check ins as needed. I like to schedule a meet and greet with all clients before their first booking. I believe this can help develop a sense of mutual trust between myself and pet parents, but also helps me get acquainted with your pets so they are more comfortable when I am there without you. During these meet and greets, I also like to go through any rules or expectations you may have, any special needs or requirements your pet(s) may have, and discuss any potential risk factors or common issues that could arise. During my walks, I like to keep pets on the inner side so they are not close to traffic. I do not let others pet without explicitly being told it is okay by you first. I also would not allow your pet interact with other animals without your express permission either. During drop ins, I always make sure everything is put away where it should be before leaving. I will also do a sweep of the area to make sure your pet didn’t get into anything before my arrival. If your pet is one that is in a kennel while home alone, I double check all latches to make sure they are secured before leaving.
About: Hello there, fellow pet lovers! My name is Elaiza, and I'm excited to offer my services as a dedicated pet walker and sitter. While my professional experience might be limited, my passion for animals knows no bounds. As a proud pet owner myself (6-year-old chocolate lab!), I understand the importance of providing the best care and love to your furry family members. I have a very flexible schedule to drop in (potty break and play) or walk (30-60 mins) your pup throughout the day while you're away. I have a good-sized fenced yard and one friendly pup to keep your fur baby company while they are over. Large enough space for everyone to be spaced out.
“Tanaiia always does such an incredible job with our Kona baby. We trust her 100% to deliver the best care for our girl and know that Kona is getting all her lovins in while we are gone. Thank you for everything Tanaiia!”

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.
