“Tiffany was able to take care of our dog on extremely short notice, which we greatly appreciated. Tiffany takes wonderful care of our dog and sends the cutest pictures and videos. Highly recommend Tiffany!!!”
About: I have been caring for many animals since I was young, I love walking playing, hiking and just hanging out with them. I have some practice training puppies but am not certified. I always like to let older dogs go at their own pace and smell all the good sniff spots. I currently work at my own pace from home so I’m available most days and most times. I usually like to get a couple miles in walking per day and don’t mind being out in bad weather either. I can provide care in your home, or outside your home at parks, walks and hikes. As needed or based on your personal preference taking into account your pets needs.
“Coreen has been an amazing help to me in helping with my dogs while I am at work. She stops in daily for walks or play time depending on the weather. She is very consistent and always takes a picture of the pups and leaves me a message about how the visit went. I was very nervous about having someone in our own but instantly felt relieved when I met Coreen during the initial meet and greet. If you are in need of dog walking or check ins, I definitely recommend Coreen.”

Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra TLC. I’m passionate about animals and ensure they feel loved and at ease while you're away.

My goal is to provide the same level of care and affection your pet receives from you!
“Amber did a wonderful job. We really appreciate her caring ways with our fur babies and we felt very comforted knowing she is professional and trustworthy. She was very quick in replying and we are grateful to have met her! Thank you Amber!”
About: I've grown up around animals from farm animals to always having a dog that was like family. My mom and brothers are a big help there is always someone home giving full attention. Having pups over for people leaving town or people visiting the area is always fun. We like giving peace of mind that their fur baby is in good hands being taken care of while they are unable. We like to see the different personalities in each dog or cat and gain their trust and distract them from being away from their owners. They will be treated like family and have free roam of the house and fenced gated yard. Cant wait to meet your pet. Adjustable and flexible schedule between my mom and I someone is always home. Times for drop offs and pick ups are flexible to your schedule We ha e baby gates to give privacy if needed a fenced side yard and back yard incase bigger and smaller dogs need to go together. Pets are welcome on furniture and can give supplements or medication if needed and I feed each dog separately for allergy and aggression and so they dont feel rushed.
“Thank you Amber for taking great care of my pets! I appreciate the excellent communication and the pictures. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs and 5 chickens, who are all part of the family. I am available to check in on animals while you are away! We are also available to board dogs, but they have to be dog friendly and people friendly, because we have 3 doggies of our own and a 4 year old boy. We have a fenced yard and lots of room to run. We also have a special little dog area where all the dogs can hang out and have fun.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brookings stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
