“This is our 3rd time having Kelly sit for our pups and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of my pups and my house and I never have any worries while I am away.”
“McKenzie was fantastic! She took great care of my pets, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've cared for animals both professionally and personally for years, working as a veterinary assistant and managing a small farm property with a mix of horses, dogs, and cats. As a vet assistant, I safely restrained patients during exams and diagnostics, collected samples, took X-rays, and helped monitor hospitalized animals—so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra medical attention, whether that's administering medications, giving injections, or keeping a close eye on a recovering patient. Before that, I lived on-site at a farm and provided full-time care for seven horses, two dogs, and a cat, including administering medical care to elderly horses with health conditions and following highly specialized diets for each animal's needs. I know what it takes to keep animals comfortable and thriving day in and day out, not just for a quick visit. I just moved back to the Hernando area and am currently searching for part-time work, so my schedule is very open! I am available Monday through Sunday from 8am to 9pm (I can do earlier or later if needed, that is just my preferred availability!). I care for pets entirely in your home—overnight stays, drop-in potty breaks, and walks. Staying in their own space keeps their routine consistent, which means less stress than boarding elsewhere.
About: I have always been around animals, I adore them and love being around them! I would rather be around animals than people! I am vet tech certified! I have 4 dogs at home plus cattle and more. I know the responsibility of having animals and taking care of them responsibly and efficiently In my home, we have dog crates and outside we have fences. So the dogs can go out and if any visitors are nearby they can be easily controlled!
“Hannah was great in taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She made everything simple and eased any worries we had about leaving our cats for two weeks. She's awesome and so sweet!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one of my own - golden doodle full of energy and curiosity! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“She was great..! I left for 3 days and she dropped in and took care of my babies for me..! And communicated very well with me when she had questions..! Overall I will be booking with with Kari again.! Most of all my babies loved her and she had no problem with them.!”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic as our pet sitter! She was punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind—everything you could hope for when trusting someone with your pets. Her communication was thorough and consistent, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cares and takes pride in what she does. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Samantha again for any future pet sitting or visit needs. Highly recommend!”
About: As a long time pet owner, I have first hand experience with caring for different animals. From puppies to cats to dogs, I am fully equipped to not only safely supervise pets, but to also play and engage with them for a fun and loving experience. I have been the mama to the sweetest stray male tabby for the past year so I have tons of experience with cats and kittens too! As a previous owner of a disabled doggo, I have developed patience and determination when it comes to caring for pets. For example, I am unlike many other owners in that I am understanding when it comes to dogs who are in the process of being house trained. I won’t reprimand the animal in a harmful or scary way. Instead. I will guide them toward better potty training practices. I am also a very patient dog walker, some pets take longer outside or simply want to explore an area. Pets have a natural curiosity and they should be able to act on that curiosity! I care for pets as if they were all my own. It is very important for owners to trust their animal caretakers. I can assure that owners can trust that I will care for their pets with love and kindness. Thank you for choosing me to be your rover caretaker! I work remotely so I am free during the day for play time, potty breaks, and mid-day cuddles. I also have tons of cat toys and welcome dogs owners to bring interactive toys for the pups. I have a semi fenced in huge backyard and designated play areas equipped with interactive toys, treats, and more. I also have a very sweet and gentle 1 year old cat to be the perfect playmate
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
About: I have been pet/house sitting for family and friends for 5 years now. I have worked in childcare(babysitting nannying, etc) for even longer so I consider the transition to be beneficial and seamless. I am a full time student and have a part time afternoon job. This gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets needs throughout the day! I am dependable and will take care of the needs of your pet no matter how specific. I care about making your pet feel as in their normal routine as possible.
About: I have dog sat for many family friends before, including big and small dogs, cats, and even a few birds and guinea pigs! I have walked, fed, brushed, bathed, played with, and even house sat with many different dogs. Currently I work Monday-Wednesday, from 8-5, but that is not set in stone. On days other than those previously listed, I can make anytime of day work. My home is not available to dog sit your pet. I have a not-so-friendly terrier that does not get along well with other dogs. I have dog/house sat in many homes before, so I am perfectly capable of keeping one’s home a tight ship, including cleaning, collecting mail, watering plants, etc.!

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.
