“Awesome experience, was out of town for quite some time and had no doubt that my babies were in good hands. Great communication through the whole time. Thank you Bailey!”

About: I have experience caring for pets through freelance pet-sitting and pet-care jobs for a variety of clients. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, helping walk and care for shelter pets. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, mostly on occasional weekday nights and Saturday mornings. My schedule is flexible. I am unavailable on most Sundays but can negotiate needs. I provide attentive and personalized care in the client’s home, following their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout each visit.
“Leia was amazing! She watched our boys while we are trying to settle into our move for our new home. She was very attentive and provided comfort via consistent communication which I’m sure most of us need when we’re away from our babies! Can’t begin to recommend her even more!! Thank you again Leia!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner looking for the right person to trust to take care of my fur baby. From an owners point of view I know exactly how to provide excellent care while you’re away. Book me today! I’m available part time, available mostly at night. So I’m best for late night/ early morning check ins and boarding. I’m off all weekend so if you are taking a weekend away I’m your girl! I have a fenced yard and dog-proof home with one dog in my home. She’s very friendly and energetic, but she loves cuddle time and a good nap.
“Jennifer was very nice and took excellent care of my dog. She even through in some free pets for my skittish cat. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone interested!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I could remember! I have helped take of animals for friends and family and co workers! I have experience with cats and doggies! I also have experience with senior pups and puppies! Currently I am in OTA school! My schedule is early mornings for class and cuddles for your animals all night! Currently I have weekends open to help you and your pets out! Though I live in an apartment, we have easy access to dog parks and a large play area! I love to crochet and hang out with all of the fuzzy babies! I like to follow schedules and lists that are provided and will make sure you get a lot of pictures and updates of your babies! We will probably have a lot of play time outside as I am an outdoor lover! Your pet will be treated like my own!
“Catherine is incredible! I cannot say enough kind things about her. Will be booking with her for all of my future trips. She accommodated multiple schedule changes at the last minute, called immediately when my cat had gotten sick all over the house, remained calm, and cleaned it all! She gave him his meds every single day with updates and made my vacation worry free. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since my first dog at age 11. Since then I’ve been walking, feeding, bathing and caring for friends and neighbors pets often. I love animals and the outdoors so it’s become a dream job for me. I work on the weekends so throughout the week I can give your pets my full undivided attention. Monday through Thursdays I usually spend studying alone so it would be nice to have furry company! I have a fenced in backyard that’s perfect for any dog. Although I don’t have any pets myself all my neighbors have furry babies and I have the perfect neighborhood for walks. I spend most time outdoors so I don’t mind going out. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks or to the park. Pets who like the indoors will have their own bed at my house. I will rarely dog sit at another person’s house but there can be a few exceptions.
“Kayla was amazing with my Bella and very communicative. She sent lots of pictures and detailed postcards at each visit. She gave me no reason to worry while we were away. We will be booking again!”
About: Most of my experience comes from caring for my senior beagle, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He still has plenty of energy, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and keeping a steady routine. I study from home most days, so I’m around a lot and can give dogs regular breaks, attention, and a calm place to hang out. I’m a medical student who studies from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I already take my own dog out for daily walks and breaks, so adding another dog to that schedule works well. I can easily fit in regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and checkins throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly with plenty of open areas to walk. Inside, I keep a clean, supervised, and cozy home. I treat every dog gently and carefully, just like I treat my own.
“Sorry Naomi, I wrote a long review when I got back, but it must not have posted. Naomi was absolutely the best!! She took excellent care of our two cats, communicated daily with text msgs and lots of pictures. She took extra special care of them and even hid treats around the house to give them some stimulation. After our relative passed we had no one to care for our cats when we took a trip. One time we used a boarding place were the cats are in a big cage, which we hated to do again.... but was going to for our recent trip but they were booked up. Never heard of Rover, but found it while searching and just loved the reviews Naomi had especially with cats. She came and visited before the trip and we talked for over an hour so I knew we found the right person. I would not hesitate to use her again!!”
“I loved having Kaila watch my dogs! She’s very sweet, sent photo updates, was respectful of the space, locked up the house properly and loved on my boys while I was away. 10/10 would recommend. :)”
“All I can say is WOW! Alaina was absolutely amazing from day one. I had a 10 day trip out of state and was so nervous about leaving my fur baby home alone. But having her complete my daily check in's put me at ease. I can't say enough wonderful things about how she followed my directions and cared for my baby. She's really gifted! My fur baby and I are her #1 fans! I will never book with anyone else if I need pet care! She's the best.”
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, loving animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve had dogs my entire life—they’ve never been “just pets,” but true members of the family. Creating a safe, loving, and happy environment for them brings me so much joy. I’m home during the day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. It would truly be our pleasure to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet consistent attention, plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I enjoy a peaceful home environment, which makes it easy to provide a calm, comforting space for pets to feel safe and relaxed. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or giving a little extra TLC, I’m able to be fully present and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. Inside, my home is a calm and welcoming environment where animals are truly treated like part of the family. I have one large, friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a playful atmosphere. I provide care where your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care in a safe and cozy setting.
About: I have had animals all of my life and love caring for and playing with them. I will always treat your animals like my own. I am a stay at home mom of three, so I have open availability. My two older kidd are gone for school during the week. So its just me and my three year old. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who like meeting new dog friends. They would be let out multiple times a day and fed depending in your feeding schedule and played with constantly.
About: I love taking care of animals, and I love to play with the animals and show them love and affection. I used to own a cat and a dog but I did not have the financial means to take care of them. But, I am available any day of the week and even weekends. I hope that I can get to know your fur baby or babies more and I hope to form a bond with y'all. I'm not just in it for the animals, I'm also willing to form a bond with the owners. I am very much a caring person and love people as well as animals. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.
