About: I have always been an animal lover from a very young age! I currently have 3 dogs , 1 mini poodle (female 11) , 1 dachshund (male 6) , and 1 chuweenie ( female 8) , I as well have a cat (female 3) that I rescued as a kitten! I am currently a full time student! I have late evening classes Monday- Thursday. Which makes my schedule very flexible and available! If this seems like a good fit for you and your pet please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns! I have a nice sized yard and I live in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood to walk your dog! Growing up my mom was a house keeper so from a very young age I was taught how to keep any space whether it was my home or another’s nicely organized and cared for! Respect will always been shown to you and your pets while you are away!
“Jessica has been great with my boy Charlie as we navigate separation anxiety in our new home. She shows up on-time with a great attitude (even when it’s early morning). Charlie is relaxed around her and I know he’s in good hands while I’m away. Thank you!!!”
“This was my first time booking with Lydia and everything went super smoothly. Communication was very efficient, she arrived on time, and was very thoughtful throughout. After cleaning, she even spent some time playing with my cat and kept me updated. When I got home, I could tell my cat was in a great mood. Highly recommended!”
“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”
“Another fantastic experience! This is a repeat booking for us, and Shao was perfectly on time, sent lots of pictures, and took such good care of my dogs just like before. It is a huge relief knowing I have a go-to sitter I can always trust!”
“Jaron! Wow! Remarkably professional as well as my kitties best buddy now! Jaron cared for our Blu Kitty as if he had known her furever! I highly recommend Jaron for all your pet watching needs. Trust worthy and loyal! Thank you Jaron!!”
“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”
“Emily was a wonderful pet sitter for my two kitties while we were gone for 4 days. They shared updates and pictures of the pets every visit which brought me such joy. You can tell emily really cares about the pets in her care and always wants to do a great job. Would recommend her!!”
“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

I am Deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL), but I communicate easily through text messaging in the app. I always respond quickly and clearly. I have a flexible schedule, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I can adjust to your dog’s needs and routine. I understand how important your dog is to you, and I will treat them like my own family. I’m patient, gentle, and focused on your dog’s safety and happiness.

Also, I am happy to play with them anytime when they want to.
About: Three years at an SPCA animal shelter taught me to read dogs of every breed, age, and temperament, from anxious rescues to energetic and rambunctious bigger dogs. As the parent of a senior rescue with anxiety and a finicky appetite, I bring hands-on experience with senior care, calming techniques, and patient, attentive handling that puts nervous dogs at ease. I’m currently between roles and actively interviewing for full-time positions, which has opened up a great routine for dog care. I’m reliably available early mornings after 7am till evening 7pm PT. Weekends are flexible and worked out based on requests as they come in, so I’m happy to accommodate what fits your schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at my place. I have a private balcony at home for supervised outdoor time, plus a big community playground nearby that’s great for extra space to play, sniff around, and burn off energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, from leash handling to knowing when a dog needs a calmer, quieter space instead.
“Seng is amazing! Our cats loved her, she took care of them so well. She sent so many photos and videos, it was wonderful to see how happy they were. We will definitely be booking again the next time we’re out of town!”

About: I've had pets since I was a kid and have been around dogs and cats almost my entire life. I currently live with my partner and our two cats, Latte (13) and Miko (6). I recently lost Latte's sister, Mocha, this past May — she's dearly missed. Beyond my own home, my parents have three large dogs (Bobby, Luna, and Charcoal) and four cats (Mango, Gugu, Blu, and Eggy), and I help with their care whenever I'm home. This lifelong, hands-on experience means I'm comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats, including for chronic conditions, and I've helped train our family dogs. Whether your pet needs a calm hand with meds, basic obedience reinforcement, or just an experienced sitter who's seen it all, I've got you covered. I was recently laid off so I have plenty of time to do some drop-in visits for your dog and cats. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walking. My cats are strictly indoor-only. My routine starts each morning by cleaning their litter boxes, feeding them breakfast, and giving medication to the one who needs it. Since I used to work from home, I got into the habit of cleaning the litter box right after they use it, so it stays as clean as possible throughout the day. In the evening, they get dinner and their nighttime medication. When it comes to our family dogs at my parents' house, I take them on individual walks of about 20–30 minutes each, since they can get a bit rowdy together and do better one-on-one. I bring this same level of consistency and attentiveness into a client's home — sticking to their pet's existing routine, keeping litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and administering medications exactly as directed.
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”
“Christal was great with Koda! I always stress leaving him behind when I travel, but Christal was able to keep my well informed with detailed updates, photos, and videos of koda throughout the booking! Koda was in a really great mood when I came back!! Would recommend Christal!”
About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work at a school, so I’m available on weekends for pet walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. With summer approaching, my schedule will be much more open. Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I have over a year of experience caring for pets and offer pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and care they need. For pet sitting, I provide a calm, safe environment in your home while being respectful of your space. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brisbane
Lydia was a fantastic sitter! She gave me daily updates with multiple photos. I see my bunny Alistair was well taken care of and so were my plants! She even restocked my buns romaine lettuce when he ran out. It was very much appreciated! I would book with Lydia again when I need care for my bun!
Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!
Tim was wonderful! He is such a nice guy and he was great with my dogs! I have four and they tend to be hyper and excited when they met new people, Tim handled them great! He made sure they got some playtime in the backyard, and they were extra loved on! I love his photos and videos he would send too!
Ben has been extremely communicative and flexible leading up to and through out our scheduled drop-in visits for my Labrador retriever. He asked great questions. He was reliable so that I trusted my dog in his care for multiple days in a row. I am very happy to have Ben as our dog sitter.
Mystyc (and Jai) took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 3 weeks! They followed all instructions perfectly, were awesome at sending over regular reports and photos during the scheduled check-ins and even helped to take packages in. I came back to neat litterboxes and our cats were happy and purring. Thank you Mystyc!!

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.

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 use the 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.
