“Carla was amazing. So responsive and such a sweet person. I felt so incredibly happy that she was able to care for Simon while we were away, and it seems like she made our little guy so so happy in our absence. Would definitely want her back ❤️”
“Cecil was great! Our three cats are trouble makers but Cecil made it so that we didn’t have to worry about them while my husband and I were on our honeymoon! Will definitely be booking with Cecil in the future (:”
“Andre was amazing with our two cats. He ensures they are taken care of, get lots of pets and playtime during his visits. Appreciate everything he does when we are away. Highly recommend.”
“Mirabella did a wonderful job checking in on our cats on short notice. She kept the dishes full, cleaned the boxes, and provided photos of the ones she managed to spot. Will book again!”
About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog! She always made sure my girl was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She went above and beyond every single visit and kept me updated with messages and photos so I always knew how she was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“What an awesome individual Dan is to work with! The girls LOVE seeing Dan and he is so calm and patient with us! Even when we have last minute schedule changes he is so great about understanding and being flexible with us and ours girls needs☺️ thank you so much Dan!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Animals are my passion and in addition to pet sitting, I foster for LifeLine Animal project. I’ve fostered over 25 dogs in my time as a volunteer. Through volunteering, I’ve also taken a Behavior Treatment class for shy/fearful and leash-reactive dogs, so if your pup has some behavioral special needs, I’m more than happy to take the time to make them and you as comfortable as possible. I so look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week and 1 day a week in the office on Wednesday, with some flexibility. I am available to pet sit in your home or for drop-in visits. My schedule can be modified to accommodate the needs of you and your pets! I treat your pet with the same love and attention as I’d treat my own. Animals are family, and I appreciate the trust you’ve given me to provide the best care for your pet.
“My second time booking with Zerandrian and another wonderful experience! I had a last minute change to my travel plans and Zerandrian was super flexible and communicative. Will definitely be re-booking again next time my 4-legged babies need a sitter! Thanks so much, Zerandrian!”
About: I've taken care of furry friends - little and large - for family and neighbors since I was young. I have experience in managing dog and cat medical ailments, and caring for those who are elderly and need mobility or sanitary assistance. My work is generally freelance in the evening/night, so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to visit your fluffy family members (Usually between 8AM-5PM). On occasion I will also be available during evenings, please inquire! My general goal at anyone else's house is triple-checking - making sure all relevant gates/doors are properly closed, that all items are put back in their right place, and that everything is clean and sanitary. I strive to treat all pets and love them as if they were my own, and that extends to the home they're in. Respect for the pets' and clients' home should always be utmost.
“Lyric is 10/10 recommend for sitting your puppies. They fell in love with her in a day and I was sad to see the visits in because they will be looking for her. I will book her in the future 10000000%. Thank you Lyric for taking care of my precious pups.”
About: Hello! My name is Amberly. If you are looking for someone to love on your pets, look no further. Even though I devoted my education to assisting with the health and care of people, my first love has always truly been with animals. I simply can't imagine life without them! I have successfully fostered multiple dogs through Caitlyn's Vine of Bravery Dog Rescue and Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also have experience with walking dogs and have received many positive reviews including being extra caring! I truly believe a life without animals is not a life at all! Any animal in my care will be treated like my own child. If you need someone to care for your pet while you work or vacation, please give me a try! I work a flexible schedule as I partially work from home running my own business and pick up at the hospital from time to time I live in a townhome with a senior chihuahua and a small fenced in patio. My neighborhood is dog friendly and is nice for walks. Dogs would be with hanging out with me at home or hanging out at a fun park somewhere. When I have to briefly leave, I do prefer either crating or leaving them in my room with water and pads.
“Viva is so attentive and dedicated to our dog when she comes to walk her! We always get the best photos and reports back from Viva after her visits. She asks about our training goals to keep things consistent for our dog! Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Candler-McAfee
Dan was fantastic watching our 1 year old English lab Azalea. We scheduled him for a series of drop in visits, he was right on time for each one, communicated frequently, shared pictures, and took great care of our girl. We will be booking him again in the future!
Aiiaha was great and Cali loved her, which I’ve had a hard time in the past finding people that Cali would like. Cali is a dog that goes on vibes and doesn’t get along with a lot of people. Aiiaha was right on time and very professional and was great with both of my dogs! So glad to have found her to help!!
Lindsey was awesome and did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Angel. The pictures and videos took the story. Angel was so happy and surprised me, on how Lindsey could bring the best version of Angel. It has taught me where I need to work on to better our relationship. I was impressed with Lindsey’s professionalism and all the extra things done (bushed Angel’s undercoat) I highly recommend Lindsey dog care services. I was was truly delighted and would rebook without hesitation! Thank you Rover!!
Fantastic sitter! Deb took great care of my cats while I was away and gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. I really appreciated the updates and photos from each visit. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I will definitely book Deb again and highly recommend her as a sitter!
Jeremy was a wonderful pet sitter! This was the third time we’ve trusted him to care for our cats, and once again, he did an excellent job. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared for them as if they were his own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and everything was just as we left it. We highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our furry family!

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.
