About: Dogs are a true source of happiness for me and hold a very special place in my heart. I love life, nature, and all living beings, but I have always shared an especially deep connection with dogs. Dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I bring a warm, playful energy while also providing the calm guidance, patience, and consistency that help them feel safe and relaxed. Some of my greatest teachers have been the dogs who have shared their lives with me: Alaska, Toby, Polly, and now my beloved Siberian Husky, Coquito, whom I rescued from the streets of Mexico. Each one has taught me something different about trust, loyalty, patience, resilience, and unconditional love. They were never simply dogs in my life—I became part of their stories, just as they became an important part of mine. I also independently created and ran a small dog rescue in Mexico. While working a regular job, I dedicated the rest of my time—and much of my personal income—to helping dogs living on the streets. Without sponsors or outside financial support, I provided rescued dogs with food, veterinary treatment, vaccinations, spaying and neutering, companionship, and, above all, genuine love. I still treasure many photos of the dogs I rescued and cared for throughout that chapter of my life. Over the years, I have also become someone dog owners trust when they have questions about everyday care or canine behavior. Friends, acquaintances, and even people in Mexico continue to reach out to me because they know how much experience I have with dogs and feel comfortable asking for my perspective. These experiences have taught me how to understand and care for dogs with different personalities, histories, and needs. I deeply respect each dog’s individual nature and believe every one of them deserves to feel protected, understood, and loved. When your pup is with me, they will never be treated as simply another booking. I feel completely confident in the care I can offer because being deeply devoted to dogs—caring for them, protecting them, and sharing my time with them—is an essential part of who I am. This is not simply a service I provide; it is one of the greatest joys and deepest motivations of my life. I will follow your dog’s normal routine, give them attentive and personalized care, keep you updated with photos, and treat them with patience, responsibility, playfulness, and wholehearted love. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease—and for your dog to feel safe, understood, happy, deeply valued, and truly at home. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Friday after 6:00 p.m. On weekends, I can also welcome dogs into my home for overnight stays on Friday and Saturday, with pickup on Sunday. I genuinely enjoy spending my weekends with dogs—taking them on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of companionship, attention, and affection throughout their stay. I care for furry guests in my apartment, where I live with my 44-pound husky, Coquito. My home is clean, comfortable, and well-lit, and it has a balcony with a high, secure railing for safety. My furry guests always have access to fresh water and are fed according to their usual schedule and their family’s instructions. I give them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so every pup feels safe, included, and cared for as part of the family.

I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

About: I've had cats and dogs in my home since I was a child. Since 2020 I have been traveling the country--and beyond--as a full-time, nomadic pet sitter. I have taken care of dogs in Malibu, California; horses and pigs in Ocala, Florida; Ragdoll cats in South Queensferry, Scotland; goats in Oakland, California; and giant bunnies in Oceanside, Washington. I've given medicine to old animals, including insulin injections for dogs and cats. I'm basically the Mrs. Doubtfire of pet care. I travel sometimes with my companion, Cheri Isabella, so sometimes there will be two of us taking care of your animals. I am a full-time pet-sitter. I spend most of my time working as an online writer and illustrator, so I will be around to give your pets as much attention as they need. I do not have a home so I am not able to board pets. I can only take care of pets in their own home.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

Zsa-Zsa always takes good care of Cleo. She also fills me in on the little details of the visit, letting me know how Cleo seems to be feeling. Zsa-zsa communicates well and is very dependable and consistent. I can tell she loves animals and appreciates seeing Cleo when she visits. Zsa-zsa also communicated with me about the status of packages at my house, which is above and beyond. Thank you, Zsa-Zsa.

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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
