“Shanna is amazing!!! I highly recommend her. I’ve never felt more at ease leaving my 17 year old cat at home for the week knowing Shanna was taking care of her. My cat requires a challenging food/medicine routine and Shanna handles it very well. She went above and beyond!”

I've had pets all my life and have worked professionally as a pet sitter, dog walker, volunteer coordinator at rescue, vet nursing, and volunteer over the past 18 years. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your fur kids when you need someone to watch them. Ive worked professionally with animals for over 18 years, including my experience running my own premium pet sitting business. Looking forward to connecting and caring for your furry kiddos! I will try to mimic the routine you have with your pets based on our conversation- any notes you have for me to follow so that your fur kid doesn't experience too much change from your routine with them I will follow. ***Dogs are always walked BEFORE being fed to avoid the life threatening condition called Bloat.

“Excellent! This was our first time using Anne & Joaquin and they were spot on. Our prior long term dog sitter closed during Covid and we had not done much traveling. We have four pups and we were worried about taking a vacation for the first time since Covid hit. Finding Anne and Joaquin was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. They followed all the instructions to the letter and the kids, house, etc was perfect and as expected when we returned from a week long trip. We found our new dog sitter as life returns to normal and work travel and away from home commitments return. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve owned a small poodle for 10 years and have extensive experience dog sitting for both small and large breeds. I’m an athlete who loves staying active, so I’m perfect for energetic pups and long walks. I also have professional training in correctional settings, which means I’m observant, patient, and very safety-focused. I treat every dog like family and prioritize consistency, structure, and love I currently work part time as a server and am on the path to graduate with my masters by the end of next year. I love pet sitting because it is a way for me to get out and be active. My house has a backyard with a doggie door and I really take into consideration the personality of the dog when planning my day. Some dogs like to chill and some like to go for runs or hikes, so I am adjustable to their schedules and preferences.
“Wonderful and always communicated and sent pictures. Have already rebooked with her. Cant say thanks enough for her willingness to drive to a decent remote area of Arizona to help with my dog and cat. It takes a lot of stress off regarding my busy schedule.”
“Sarah was great and the dogs seemed to really like her! She sent tons of photos of my dogs while I was out of town and followed all instructions I had left for her! Will definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
About: My empathetic nature and awareness for body language in animals sets me apart from other sitters. I’m able to read potential situations that would be hazardous or dangerous for animals and people. Safety key I’m currently only working early morning shifts. So this gives me opportunity to be able to provide animal services in the early afternoon and evenings. Our home is in a small residential area with a fenced yard. We only have two cats that spend majority of their time outside. This gives both the cats and your animal the space to be stress free.
“Tatum is an extremely responsible and lovely person who cares very much for her furry clients. Always prompt and wants your pups to be happy in addition to being fed and walked. She did a great job for me! I will be using her again for certain.”
“Daniela responded quickly and on short notice to my request. She instantly got along with my pups and gave me unique details of her visit for every check in. She ensured they got play time and brushed them (when they weren't too busy zoomin) even though I hadn't asked her too Overall I'd definitely book her again”

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.
