About: Helena has taken care of dogs since she was a kid. Together we took care of our friends dogs, and have had two of my own. We have experience with dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Currently we have a puppy in our home, but she is very friendly with dogs. We also have experience taking care of exotic pets like reptiles. We are working from home, so we can supervise pets the whole time. We can do boarding, and daycare, play and spend time with your furry friend. We have a puppy, so your dog will never be lonely or bored :) we make sure to spend time playing, training with the doggies and provide enrichment if they are interested.
“Sabrina and her family were fabulous carers for Maggie Mae. Sabrina is excellent on communication and sent daily updates, photos and videos so I could see that Maggie was having a great time! I picked up a calm, relaxed and happy dog after a 2 week stay. I would definitely book with Sabrina again.”
“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”
“Kara is simply AMAZING, she went above and beyond for our little guy Finn!!! She is attentive, caring and always avaliable for an updates. I highly recommend Kara if your dog needs LOTS of love and care when you can't be there. Thank you again Kara 💓”
About: I have a innate love of animals. Large or small, confident or timid, young or old, they all have a place in my heart. I am patient, adaptable and calm even when others may not be. My critical thinking skills help me to troubleshoot any situation your pet might challenge me with. I always look for a win-win outcome. Your pets walk and play time every day is an important part of their lives, and I look forward to spending my time with them. Georgia is an American Staffy that we rescued last year, at approximately 1 years old. Since then we have focused on all levels of training, including agility, to help deal with her reactivity. We have made tremendous progress over the last year with her. I am available between 7 and 6 Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays can also be accommodated. My flexible schedule means that I can provide care on your schedule. I know that timing and routine are important to your pet and yourself, and I am punctual and dependable. I understand how important the safety of your furry friend is to you. Should your pet join us in our home, they will have the opportunity to enjoy our fully fenced back yard during play time. During walking times, there are many lovely trails and pathways in our quiet residential neighborhood that we can enjoy together.
About: A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog. I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime. I provide cage-free dog boarding in my own home, offering full-time supervision while I work. Your pet will enjoy a loving environment with my friendly Goldendoodle, featuring four 20-to-30-minute outdoor walks daily and plenty of playtime in my securely fenced yard. I follow your exact care instructions to keep your dog's routine safe, consistent, and happy.
“We had our adult cat and kitten taken care by Ranjitha. Ranjitha is an expert in handling cats ,our shy and nervous adult cat warmed up to her sooo easily. She responds to the messages promptly and shares pics and videos as well. Ranjithas home has plenty of space for our high energy kitten to run and play around fearlessly. On top of it all , their sweet cat Oreo was extremely friendly to both the cats the moment they met and helped in setting down at their home.”
“Our dog went to stay with Deborah-Lynn while my husband was recovering from surgery. She frequently checked in and gave us updates about how he was doing and what he was doing. Our dude seemed happy, engaged and well taken care of. She provided lots of mental and physical stimulation for the dogs. We look forward to his next visit!”
“Aparna was amazing as always! Clover enjoyed her stay and had lots of fun with Mazy. Aparna is very responsive and kept us informed throughout Clover’s entire stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Our sitter was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again”
About: Being a person who has had at least one pet beside them at any given time in life, I am an animal lover of all sizes and varieties. With over a decade's experience in pet ownership, I have cared for dogs (many different sizes/breeds), cats, bunnies, birds, and more just to list a few. My best friend is an energetic Border Collie who loves to meet new friends. I will do my best in ensuring that your pet will have the best time when they are with us. I have a lot of flexibility and am looking to lend a hand to fellow pet owners in maintaining their pets happy and healthy mental and physical states. No more destroyed furniture because your pet was bored and lonely. We look forward to meeting you and your best friend!
“Our pups were well cared for during their stay. They were happy to see us but not a finally you are here greeting. A good feeling ending a good experience. A wonderful relief to find a safe loving environment to leave our babies in when the need arises. Very grateful for Grace. Hoping she will be available when we need her again.”

Behnaz was great! She helped us when Daisy wasn’t feeling well to begin with and was willing to take her last minute. It was a huge help for us. She sent update pictures which eased our mind and made us glad Daisy seemed happy while we were away! Would book with Behnaz again :)
Priyanka and her family were wonderful to work with. We recently booked our dog Ted in for a weeks family vacation, and will absolutely be booking again. We did a meeting prior to our booking to ensure fitment, and were warmly welcomed at their home. It was clean, and felt very warm. Once we agreed to move forward, everything went well and as agreed upon. Drop-off was easy, we were not rushed, and Ted was given immediate access to explore the home. We were given morning and evening updates, including many pictures and videos so we felt comfortable in knowing how he was adjusting. Ted was excited to see us at pick-up, but we could tell he missed the family and his new friend Link for a few days prior to leaving. Dont hesitate, I highly recommend Priyanka and her famiky in caring for your furry loved ones.
Our boy Happy has stayed with Jason and his family for multiple short and long term stays this summer. Each time they have provided wonderful, loving care of Happy - with generous and frequent updates of his wellbeing and day to day activities. Jason has been extremely professional, communicative and flexible with our requests - even providing extended care when our flight was delayed. Happy loves walks and being near others and Jason has been accommodating his need with many long walks in the nearby parks, taking him along for outdoor events and couch cuddles. Thank you for taking care of our family while we were away! If we can give even more stars with our review we would
Thank you so much, Brittany. I went away on my holiday and felt Hazel was in the best chance possible. I know you are one of Hazel‘s best friends. Thank you for taking care of our house for leaving it. Clean and best of all caring for Hazel like she was your own. I very much appreciate the service separately provides.
Sara and Rick are the absolute BEST!!! Words can’t express how amazing they were with my cat! They are SUCH sweet animal lovers and took such good care of him, he warmed up to them immediately!! Their communication was also incredible.. they kept me updated and sent me lots of photos! It was such a wonderful and comforting experience. One hundred percent recommend, you will not be disappointed. They’re amazing.. and I would have them watch my pet again in a heartbeat! :) thank you so sooooo much! Cannot thank you enough 💗
Our dog Rocco had such a wonderful time with Camila and her family this past weekend! She sent us pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was so nice and really reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was. We were hoping to find someone who would treat Rocco like one of the family, and Camila absolutely did. He got lots of walks, which he loves, plenty of attention, and clearly had a great weekend. He came home happy and full of energy like he had enjoyed a little weekend getaway of his own rather than just waiting for us to come home. Thank you so much, Camila! We feel so good knowing we now have someone we trust and a new go-to for Rocco when we’re away.
We had such a great experience with Jing! She was wonderful with our dog Bubble and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was reliable, attentive and caring. We really appreciated she took great care of Bubble while we were away. We would definitely love to have Bubble spend time with Jing again!

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.
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.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
