“I had a great experience with Lisa and highly recommend her! From the start, she was communicative, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. I gave her a long list of info about my pups and she welcomed the details. Her confident attitude and understanding, gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She provided pics and all went well! It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur babies, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!

About: With 20 years of hands-on dog care experience, I’ve worked with breeds of every size, age, and temperament. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and pups. I provide attentive walks, feeding, medication administration, and lots of affection, treating every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home full time, so I’m available on weekends during the day for walks and weekdays after 5:30pm, feeding, and check-ins. I also have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with age-related needs like mobility issues, medication schedules, and extra patience and care. In my own home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, and cozy spaces to rest—especially important since I have senior dogs myself who need a quiet, low-stress setting. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s normal routine, sticking to familiar feeding schedules, walk times, and resting spots.

About: What makes me different as a sitter is the way I truly connect with each pet. I’ve cared for everything from bouncy puppies who need patient training to senior dogs who deserve gentle, comforting attention. I make sure pets feel loved, safe, and entertained while their families are away. I’m also happy to handle special needs like medication, dietary routines, or extra playtime. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always feel close to their pets🐾. I’m currently not working, I can board dogs whenever you need me too! I will always be there to take them outside if you need me too as well!! You just let me know & I will be there like the flash⚡️ When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable as part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I keep their routines consistent—whether that’s feeding schedules, crate training, or quiet time—and I always supervise to ensure they’re happy and secure. Then When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable in a familiar space. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs such as medication or training. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them

About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️

“Skyler is a pet pro! Our family highly recommends her to anyone seeking care for their kitties. She is a great communicator and took excellent care of our babies while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures of our kitties, and it shows that they adore Skyler. One of our kitties is elderly and requires daily oral injections, which Skyler gave him with ease. We’d love to have Skyler back when we travel again.”

When we decided to extend our trip by an extra night, she was more than willing to go above and beyond to accommodate the change, which gave us great peace of mind. Super punctual and reliable, we knew our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

Alexis is a delight. I have 2 shy kitties. One is especially shy and rarely comes out when strangers are around. Both kitties warmed up to Alexis and came around for her visits. This is a major break through for my especially shy kitty. I had multiple deliveries during the time Alexis was taking care of my furbabies. All deliveries should have arrived before my departure but were delayed. Alexis brought each delivery in for me. Thank you, Alexis, for your kindness and thank you for caring for Poppy and Penny. Great job!

Logan did an awesome job with our drop-in visit for Holly! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Logan followed instructions perfectly and made sure Holly was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

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.
