“Jennifer is great and our dogs loved her from the first meeting! She is great with communication, sending pics of our dogs and very loving with our doodles! Thanks so much Jennifer! Timber and Sperry already miss you!”
“Cara did a great job with our cat Miles - he warmed up to her immediately, and she sent lots of photos during her visits with him. This was my first time using Rover, and in the future I hope to be able to book Cara again for future trips.”
About: Note: I now have a toddler and an infant so please be aware I will be bringing them with me to jobs. My toddler is extremely loving and gentle with animals and responds immediately when told to leave an animal alone. Additionally, please be aware that I am recovering from several years of physical disability. I'm doing MUCH better but still get winded easily, so I can play fetch or take your dog on a gentle walk but not a run. -------- I come from a family of pet lovers: my mom raised guide dogs for the blind before she had a family, and ever since I was a baby I've been around animals of all kinds. My first pet care job was caring for a friend's cats when I was a tender 6-years-old! Since then, I have cared for numerous horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish, poultry, reptiles (including snakes!), emu, donkey, goats, rabbits.... You name it! My strongest experience lies with domestic dogs and cats. Starting at age 17 I helped a neighbor raise two rescue pups whose mama was a feral dog from the middle east, which presented a very unique set of challenges: and, more recently, two other sweet doggos who needed regular medication. I've also had experience with giving cats medicine from caring for my own cats. I am very involved with each pet, taking time to learn their unique personality. I make a point of focusing on the loved pet I am with at the time, with physical play and mental stimulation a huge part of my time — even older pups just need patience, encouragement, and a gentler style of play! As of Summer 2026 I am currently available pretty much any time! My only limitation is not having a car while my husband is at work during the day but I'm also able to use the bus when needed. I have 10 total years of experience sitting both indoor and outdoor pets, helping continue and enforce training, administering medication in a variety of ways, and encouraging the unenthused to move and exercise. When you book me I will ask a series of questions to help best understand how I can help you and your pet in the specific situation YOU are in! Pets aren't one size fits all and neither are my services. :)
“Chloe was awesome! She was super responsive when I was in a pinch and requested last minute. She hit all the requested drop in times and kept me updated with pictures. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little girl. Currently I have a slightly spicy and grumpy diabetic min pin, so I’m no stranger to any “Handle with Care” pets. I’m also blessed to have professional animal behavior, training, and care experience in the zoological field. It very easily transfers over to our furry friends!🐾 I love pups of all ages and levels of care needed. I’m more than willing to put forth my best efforts to help your doggo have a better day💕 I’m new to the area and have a new full time job, so my routine isn’t set in stone at this time. But I will surely update as I become accustom to my new life! I always follow instruction and preferences given by fellow pet parents, and treat the client and home as if it were my own. Bringing a little bit of my passions but also a respectful attitude to your home ☺️
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I can shape my schedule around the needs of you and your dog and give them the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard where they will be free to roam, along with abundant room inside where they will receive lots of care and attention. Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
About: I grew up with dogs in the house, and now have 1 dog and a cat that cuddle and are perfect. I have 6 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, a Bachelor's degree in Organismal Biology, and a masters in biology through which I studied animal behavior. My availability is quite open for walks, play time, enrichment, training, and love. I would love to get outside with your pet as I know that life here is very busy. I take my dogs (and sometimes cat) on bike rides, hikes, or dog park adventures daily. So, your dog/cat can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation in the same fashion. Also, I can teach your dog or cat basic skills through positive reinforcement and patience.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a little company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently a student, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to work around each pet owner’s schedule and follow their pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ll carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences, while making sure their pet is comfortable and supervised throughout every visit or walk. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, and communicate any concerns or updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
About: Taken care of many animals all my life! I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands and I’m always outside! I handle rodents, canine, feline, bunnies, lizards, fish, and frogs! Open to all animals :-) Stay at home mom so I have all the time in the world! I am constantly playing in our yard and walking all the time I am very clean and organized we take care of our things and our animals. We are dependable in your home and you in ours
About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.
“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”
“Mary-Elizabeth went out of her way to provide an extra visit at the last minute when we told her ou cat ran out. She came the same day to let him in and make sure he pooed and are. She kept the litter very clean and fed them as instructed. She was extremely communicative letting us know when she was on our way before each visit. She has a sunny disposition and is really fun to work with. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!”
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
About: I’ve been involved in pet care since I was young, but over the past four years I have become especially involved in the care of senior pets. I work full time during the weekdays 8:30-6pm so my availability is limited towards the weekends but can be available after 6:45pm typically. I will occasionally work on Saturday's, but only until 1PM so I will be available for pet care Saturday afternoons & Sunday. If you need my assistance during the weekday just be aware I am available late afternoon. I am comfortable doing whatever kind of care needs to happen in your home. I can walk your animals around your neighborhood, let them outside into your yard if desired and retrieve them when it’s time to go back inside.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brownsville
Lisa and David were fantastic. I’d book them again without hesitation. They took wonderful care of Sunny and Pebbles for a week. Our cats are shy rescues, and they were standoffish at first, but Lisa and David patiently found ways to win them over, and soon the cats were playing and back to their routine. When our Litter-Robot malfunctioned, they had workarounds in place right away so the cats were never affected. Great communication throughout and they went above and beyond.
Lisa as always just does an outstanding job taking care of our cat Callie. We always know she is well cared for looking at the pictures she sends. Callie has come to know her so it makes it nice that she interacts with her. We highly recommend her for great care with your animals. Linda Johnson
Julie was great! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She was consistent with communication (pictures/videos) and care for him. She followed instructions and schedules to the T! As well very polite interactions from the very beginning c:. If you’re looking for someone that will make your baby feel the upmost comfortable and loved when you’re gone, Julie is the way to go! Thank you again, I appreciate you so much! c:

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.
