“Amber did amazing taking care of my boys! Even with a last minute booking, she was quick to respond and sent regular photo updates. I would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Meghan has done an amazing job taking care of our puppy while we are at work. I will definitely be a repeat client and reccomend Meghan to take care of others fur babies as well!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two particular fur babies! She was prompt in responses, reached out with any questions she had, and most importantly our cats loved her (based on the great photos she sent us)!! I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who clearly loves animals!”
“Morgan was so sweet with our little pup, Rosie! She scheduled a meet and greet where she and Rosie got acquainted. Morgan was on time for the meet and greet and her afternoon visit with Rosie. Morgan played with Rosie, fed her and played in the backyard during a potty break. We will definitely hire Morgan again to check on Rosie for us!!!”
“Charles is a fantastic pet sitter! He has watched my cat many times over the last year and always goes above and beyond. He has great communication and leaves detailed updates about my kitty with lots of cute photos too! My cat absolutely adores him! Thank you so much, Charles!”
“Suzanne was phenomenal with my dog and took great care of him during visits while I was out of town. Walks, belly rubs, and play time, she sent detailed updates and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“This is the second time Michelle has taken care of our cat. Her communication is always top-notch, and the daily photo updates truly make our day. Beyond being a great communicator, she is incredibly reliable and attentive to our cat's routine, which gives us total peace of mind whenever we are away.”
“I would give Ayesha 10 stars if I could. She has a pleasant demeanor and my 3 big furbabies feel in love with her right away. She kept me well informed at each checkin and was very responsive. I would highly recommend her.”
“Meaghan was a wonderful sitter! She’s great with cats, and our kitties liked her right away. On top of that, she was communicative, friendly, and took special care to make sure our boys received lots of love and attention even though we were away. I’d highly recommend her as a sitter, and happily hire her again.”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up pet sitting for families in my neighborhood, and that early experience turned into a lifelong passion. Today, I foster dogs and puppies through a local rescue, giving me extensive experience with all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I also have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust completely. Whether your pup needs structured routines, extra patience, or just tons of love and playtime, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and at home. I am currently a full time graduate student with a flexible schedule. I am out of the house for a few hours every morning, but home most afternoons and evenings. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, and walking or playing with a dog is my ideal way to decompress. My house has easy access to the outdoors and is located in a neighborhood with extensive walking paths, making walks and potty breaks easy and convenient. My own dog, Birdie, loves having friends around and will be here to keep your pet company.
“Laura was great.Punctual. Helped us out at the last minute on a holiday weekend. She did all that was asked and gave our pup nice long walks. We’ll definitely have Laura again if her schedule allows!”
“Anne took great care of Pooh while we were gone. She sent detailed updates and pictures of their walks. We came home to a happy dog. I appreciate her reliability and her willingness to take on a last minute sitting request. We had a great experience with Anne.”
“Cara takes such great care of my Max. As a blind, senior dog, he has special needs. Cara is very caring and understanding of his needs. When she arrives, he is excited to see her and go in his walk.”
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all kinds since I was young. I cared for all manner of pets growing up, and even worked on a farm with cattle and herding dogs. I eventually grew up to attend NC state and graduated with a zoology degree. And while I do work with large exotic animals, I have over 4 years of experience working with dogs as a lead kennel attendant at camp BowWow. That experience includes feeding, medicating, behavioral assessment and response, first aid, enrichment, and basic training for dogs of all breeds and ages. I work with animals full time right now, so Tuesday-Saturday I typically am busy until about 5pm. I am open to helping out with your furry friend in the evenings though! Sunday and Monday are typically my days off, and I’d be happy to help most anytime during either of those days as long as I have a bit of notice. I have been a pet-sitter on several occasions in the past, and every single time I get the opportunity I do my best to leave the clients house and pet looking and feeling better than when I arrived. If there is a routine established, I’m happy to follow it, and if not I’m happy to go with the flow. I of course can transport myself, and am happy to stay and play or do quick check-ins. I’ve worked with all types of dogs with varying temperaments and energy levels, so I have no problem matching whatever level is needed.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blands
Amber was wonderful with our dog! She’s friendly, dependable, and clearly very comfortable with animals. We especially appreciated how patient she was with our dog and how flexible she was when our plans changed. She was always on time, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We will definitely have Amber care for our dog again!
Emily did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away for work! My younger cat is very outgoing/pushy, and my senior cat (Snickers) is more reserved but also gets really offended if she feels left out/ignored. Emily made sure both cats got their portion of wet food and gave them both attention. When I got back, the cats were happy and the house looked great.
Julia is fantastic with our 2 dogs. She makes sure each receives dedicated time and attention during her visits/stay. Julia is also very communicative, follows care instructions to a T, and sends great pics! Would highly recommend booking Julia to help care for your pups.

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.
