About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.

As a Veterinary Technician student, I understand the importance of proper handling, close observation, and maintaining a safe environment. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through dependable communication, compassion, and reliable care.

About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too.

I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and other animals from childhood. I’m experienced with puppies and senior dogs, as well as those with reactivity issues. I am willing to walk your pet as much as needed, and happy to accommodate any training or scheduling requests! I work full time but can do any morning walks- starting as early as 5AM. I can usually accommodate drop ins before noon. On my days off I am willing to do walks any time of day, as long as your pet needs. I know the local area well and can provide a safe, low-risk walk for your pet. I’m also experienced with head leads, muzzles, and specialty harnesses.

About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant that’s been working with pets medically/professionally for over 7 years. I live in Modesto, CA but work at a vet clinic in Stockton Thursday night - Monday morning. If I have work I will be taking your pet back and forth with me. I am more than willing to allow you in my house to take a look around as well as sharing temporary locations via Apple or life 360. Feel free to call or text for updates. I work from 9am-6pm (and sometimes over-time) about 5 days a week. Please contact me directly to see if our schedules are a potential match. No exceptions, your pet MUST be okay with dogs and cats. It’s highly recommended that they be on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives but it’s a definite no if fleas or ticks are spotted on your pet. I cannot accept any big dogs at this time due to my apartment regulations. Big breaded puppies are okay but I would not be able to be a long-time pet sitter for your big baby. My pets are very friendly with others so I usually have your pet out and about with mine, under supervision. When it comes time for me to go to work, I usually take my boarder with me so they aren’t alone and unsupervised. It’s also highly recommended that your pet be kennel trained because I usually do try to kennel them over night for the safety of themselves, my pets, and my property. Some pets are okay overnight and a kennel is not needed but it really depends on the pet and how they do 😊

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, from my own pets to those of friends, family, and neighbors. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors. In my professional life, I work in a specialized education setting where patience, consistency, and reading behavior are essential skills. That experience has made me calm under pressure and attentive to individual needs, qualities that carry over naturally into pet care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happiest. My goal is simple: to provide the kind of care that lets you leave home with complete peace of mind. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care with advance notice. I do my best to keep a consistent routine for each pet, so they know what to expect and feel comfortable while you're away. If you have specific timing needs, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I take safety seriously and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I follow instructions carefully and keep routines consistent so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I’m focused on keeping things calm, safe, and stress-free for your pet.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! From dogs to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, I’ve grown up understanding that every pet has their own personality, needs, and special place in their family’s heart. I’m also a master’s-level mental health therapist, so patience, compassion, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m currently a proud dog mom to Squirrel, my sweet senior rescue. Caring for her has given me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding an animal’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I believe in meeting animals where they are and providing the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. One of the perks of my schedule is that I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me flexibility throughout the week! I have Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely free from client sessions, giving me plenty of dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. During the rest of the week, I also have breaks between appointments that allow me to accommodate additional pet care needs, depending on availability. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to provide extended companionship and a consistent presence for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a pet parent and a mental health professional, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines and follow their family’s instructions closely. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions when applicable, and any special considerations related to age, temperament, or health. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level rather than rushing interactions or expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also believe communication is essential. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, thoughtful care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you peace of mind.

About: I've taken care of many pets over the years, most of my life from my own pets to family,friends and neighbors pets. Feeding, Walking, Playing to just hanging out with them and giving them love and comfort. I've taken care of pets that needed special care such as administering medicine, feeding on set schedule for specific dietary needs and giving extra care to those pets who get extreme separation anxiety. I'm currently looking for a Full-time or Part-time recurring gig to those who may travel often for business or pleasure and last minute emergency trips. Drop in visits, Dog Walking and House sitting I am free most days/nights Monday through Sunday. I'm flexible. I will need to care for your pets in your home as I cannot currently offer services out of my apartment. I'm hoping in the near future to move into a bigger space so that I may be able to then offer more services such as overnight care/boarding and day care.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bret Harte

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.
