“Megan was such a lifesaver for us while we were traveling out of the country. We had her booked for one day while we were on vacation and a friend was supposed to do the rest of the days but our friend didn’t show up as planned and Megan was able to do an emergency drop in as soon as we texted her for help. We ended up having her come every day we needed and we’re very happy we did so in order to have that peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future.”
“Amaya did a wonderful job! She was very easy to communicate with and I loved seeing all the pictures she took. Would definitely recommend Amaya for your pup and will be booking her again!”
“Lisa was a pleasure for us. When I first asked Lisa for taking care of my Cavalier King Charles Madison, she responded very quickly. I am new to Murfreesboro. I didn’t know anyone yet that could take care of my girl. She came over to my house and we had a little meet and great. Madison really liked Lisa. They got along very well. I could tell that she really liked animals. While I was gone she sent me photos of their time together and gave me an update about how Madison was getting along. We had a very good experience with Lisa.”
“Leah checked in and sent a picture of my boy every time she visited while I was away, and he seemed so happy in every shot. Leah is courteous and reliable, and I'm really glad she was the person to drop in while I was not home. I highly recommend Leah and will I hire her again the next time I have to be away.”
About: I grew up with my dad having miniature schnauzers and have been around friends with dogs as well. I’m always amused when the biggest dogs think they’re the smallest lap dog. I’m lucky enough to have a remote job with flexible hours. I have an hour lunch period to utilize which is also beneficial to being able to come out as needed. I am such a detail oriented rule follower - so you can be certain any directions you leave will be followed perfectly. I will treat every home like it’s my own and leave it as I found it.
About: My family has raised dachshund puppies my entire life. Our current babies are 12 and 5 yrs old. Dachshunds are known as a challenging breed but ours have always been angels. I have a schedule that is mostly open during the afternoons everyday. Wednesdays and Thursdays, I have fullday and nighttime availability. My schedule is flexible if necessary. We have a fenced in yard and decking that our pets prefer but i have taken them on walks around our neighborhood for enrichment and nail trimming. Dachshunds can be anxious so they tend to prefer the comfort of our home.
About: Hi! My name is Kelly . I am 23 years old and that is also how long I have been around animals. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc. My mom was a vet and my dad is a farmer. I have been around animals, healthy and sick. My love for animals is huge and I know I would be able to take care of others fur babies. I am very responsible and dependable. I would be able to sit with pets, take them for walks, or just drop in to feed them. I work in Franklin but live in Murfreesboro so my traveling range is big! I have a pretty flexible work schedule. So, I would be able to do morning or evening walks. Depending on my day, I can also do drop in visits during the day. I am also capable of feeding animals. I would care for your pets by taking them on long walks around the neighborhood. I can clean up messes and give plenty of head scratches!
About: I have had pet dogs since I was five years old. I have watched my friends and family's little fur babies numerous times. We have a fenced in yard and my husband works from home full time so someone will always be home with your pet :) Pet care is daily for our household. Your baby will be treated just like one of our family. We have lots of room for them to run around and play. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly *almost* senior dogs. We also have multiple rooms in the house if anyone needs some peace and quiet.
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my bunny boy! We did a meet and greet a few days prior to my leaving date, and she was very excited and happy to watch my bunny boy! Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”
“Kayla is great; I highly recommend her. She followed all my notes and left the house in the same way we left it. Our animals seemed content with her, and she made extra effort to befriend our shy cat. She played with the dogs and captured their personalities in her pictures. She worked with our schedule and provided thorough information in her checkin communications.”
About: I have grown up with animals, and have been pet sitting for friends for years. I have experience with all different kinds of animals as well as all different personalities! I have experience giving topical & oral medications to dogs and cats as well. I currently work five days a week, but I have no problem feeding/walking your pets in the morning and as soon as I get off! I am able to stop by for check-ins or walks, and I am also willing to house sit as well! I am very observant when it comes to pet watching and your animals will be carefully watched over!
About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’ve been an avid pet lover since I was a little girl and I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I know how special our pets are to us and I can’t wait to make your furry friend (s) feel special too! I have experience not only with pet sitting but as a volunteer at my local animal shelter too and have worked with all age ranges including seniors. I am currently a college student attending MTSU. I do not have a part time job however and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. My goal with every client is to make your pet feel safe and secure. I am more than happy to provide any service needed to accommodate your pets’ needs. I can feed, walk, and give medications any time. My goal is to minimize any stress and maintain routines.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and it’s always been more than just a job to me—it’s a joy. Whether it’s walking a playful pup, checking in on a shy kitty, or giving extra love to a senior pet, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every visit. I love both dogs and cats, and I’m known for being hardworking and dependable. What sets me apart is how much I truly enjoy helping people feel at ease, knowing their pets are in loving, capable hands. I currently work part-time on weekends, so I have a flexible schedule during the week. I'm available for walks and check-ins during late mornings (around 10am–12pm) and early to late afternoons (1pm–5pm). I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need when you’re away! When I visit a pet in their home, I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate time, or just sticking to their usual routine. During walks, I keep pets on a secure leash at all times, avoid high-traffic areas when needed, and stay alert to their body language and energy level. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, just like they were my own.
“She was amazing! She took the time to start building a good rapport with our kitty (who is not the easiest cat around) and took care of her as if she were her own. We got updates and pictures with every visit.”
“Taylor was so good with our brand new puppy, she’s only 8 weeks old and so needed lots of pottying and attention and Taylor totally stepped up!! She played so hard that the puppy napped for two hours after she left! She was very knowledgeable about dogs which is helpful as new owners! Would definitely recommend and rebook her!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was very young, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. Over the past 14+ years, I've cared for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, personalities, and ages. I've had my own mini schnauzer and cared for my husband's greyhound, both of whom I loved dearly into their senior years. I currently have a Shorkie rescue, and I've also cared for my mom's dogs, including a doodle and a chiweenie, as well as my brother's dogs while he and his family were away. I've helped friends with their dogs, too, including taking them for walks and helping with their care when they've been sick or needed an extra hand. What I love most is getting to know each dog's individual personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I'm patient, attentive, and enjoy giving dogs plenty of love, playtime, companionship, and attention. I know that every dog has their own routine and needs, and I take that seriously. And while I especially love puppies, I genuinely enjoy dogs at every stage of life. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they're with me; and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m most readily available during the week, when I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Weekends tend to be a little busier with my own little one, so my availability is more limited then. Because I have pets at home, I’m not currently able to provide boarding in my home, but I’m happy to care for your dog in their own home where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar surroundings. When caring for a pet, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their owner leaves. Because I don't offer boarding in my own home, I primarily care for pets in their own environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and consideration I would want someone to show my own home. I also believe communication is an important part of trust, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their person to feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved dog in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blackman
Marine was super! I have always called my cat persnickety. She is standoffish and does not tolerate many people. Marine calls her shy and she told me she loves shy cats! She outdid herself! I could not believe the pictures I started receiving of my persnickety cat in Marines lap getting cuddles, scratches and loves! She even sent a few videos with my cat purring loudly! Marine was such a joy to work with. She was prompt and did an excellent job for me this trip! I cannot say enough good about her.I actually have two super Rover sitters to choose from now.
This was the second time we used Stephanie to watch our cat and am very happy! We were gone for two weeks and I was worried about how our kitty would do with us being gone for so long. Luckily, Stephanie took excellent care of her as well as our house. She was reliable and took excellent care of everything. I will definitely book Stephanie to sit when we travel again. I highly recommend her!
Mia did an outstanding job caring for our dogs during her scheduled visits, and we will absolutely use her again in the future. She was always on time, ensured our pups ate and received their medication as scheduled, and provided us with peace of mind while we were away. Mia is reliable, friendly, and our dogs warmed up to her quickly. I would highly recommend her for any pet-sitting or drop-in visit needs.
I can’t recommend Haley enough. She stepped in on extremely short notice, taking over my cats’ care late the evening before their visits were set to begin, and was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating from the start. My cats were very stressed after a difficult experience with another sitter, and during her first visit she spent extra time with them to help them feel safe and comfortable. Her calm, patient, and gentle approach made such a noticeable difference in their stress levels, and I truly believe her care helped them settle. She was also excellent with communication. She kept me informed about any visit time adjustments, sent wonderful photos, and was very understanding of any of my check-ins, especially during that first visit when I was understandably anxious. She was consistently sweet, reassuring, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. It’s such a relief finding someone who genuinely cares. I’m incredibly grateful she was willing to step in when we needed help, and I would absolutely trust her with my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and attentive sitter.

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.
