About: I've been taking care of pets for 6 years and have 4 pets currently. Bluto (olde english bulldogge), Ruby (rottweiler), Tibby (siamese), and Molly (longhair). I do have experience with senior cats and dogs. We can talk a long walk on nature trails, or we can go for a slow stroll around the neighborhood! I only do gig work, so my schedule can fit around whatever your needs are. If something ever changes, you can always reach out and we'll work something out. For drop ins, I'll stop in and make sure theres no potty mess and if your kitty wants to we can play with whatever toys are available. We'll play for a bit so they're happy and worn out by the time we're done.
“Sabrina was terrific watching our pooch over the holiday break! She was punctual and consistent sending updates and pictures and it gave us piece of mind that our dog was being cared for while we were away. We returned to a happy pooch and a handwritten note which was a nice personal touch. Will book again!”
“My Havanese Stella was so well cared for & loved by Samantha! It was such a good feeling to be confident that she was in the very capable hands of Samantha. Stella and I sure appreciate Samantha and rover.com 😊”
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was 5. Mainly dogs and cats, but I’ve cared for birds, turtles, frogs, and fish too. I love all breeds and sizes. I also have worked in a professional dog training facility and learned so much about dog behaviors. My entire life is based around my pets and the care they need. Whether it is hiking with the dogs, finding new ways to give them mental stimulation, or finding ways to keep my cats entertained (especially my orange boy). I treat every situation and every pet how I would want my own treated in my absence. I bring compassion, understanding of behaviors, and lots of love. Whether it is snuggling a cat or teaching a dog a new trick, I love every moment!
“Christina came through for us in a pinch sight unseen! SUPER professional and made our “kids” a priority. Christina took the extra time to talk with us and ask lots of questions so she could give the best care possible. We will DEFINITELY call upon Christina again & look forward to a lasting relationship with our pooches!”
“While we were away for Christmas Kimberly came over twice a day to check on our cat S'more. He is a blind senior cat and she went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of while we were away. She was amazing! We are so thankful!”
“Amber took care of my two cats, two budgee parakeet birds and our corn snake through the duration of a week by dropping into my house to feed and care for them all, twice daily. Absolutely no complaints, she rocked it, took great care of every baby under the roof and followed instructions to the exact detail! She happily accommodated our booking request over Christmas time, which says alot, but also did so with only a few weeks notice so bravo to her for her flexibility as well.”
About: Hello! New to Rover! My name is Amanda, I’m 22, and love animals more than humans! I’ve taken care of, rescued, and owned almost every pet imaginable! I had springer spaniels and a cavalier growing up that I trained. Also had a cat, turtles, ferrets, hamsters, and fish all through my childhood. Now living on my own, I have a rescued cat and two ball pythons! Pet care fits easily into my routine and happy to work around pet’s schedules. I have a consistent full-time work schedule and flexible on days off. I enjoy spending time with animals so always happy to make pet care apart of my day! I offer boarding/daycare in my home, which has a small fenced yard and blocks away a from a park. Plenty of opportunities for outdoor time and play. I also offer drop-ins where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, updates, and more!
About: Hi my names Eva, I have lived with dogs my entire life (mainly German Shepherds). I regularly go hiking, and I walk at least 4 miles everyday. I worked at a pet store for 3 years, and am dedicated to giving pets the best care possible. I am currently going to college, and I have a part time job. In between classes and on days I have off I will be able to stop by to take care of your pets and walk them. I can come over to let dogs out to go to the bathroom, feed them, simple check in, and walk them. I am dedicated to fitting you and your pets needs.
“Julia did such a wonderful job taking care of my pups!! I felt so comfortable knowing she was dropping on on my three dogs to let them out and to play with them! She played ball and Frisbee and gave lots of pets and belly rubs!! Thank you Julia!”
“Absolutely amazing and professional! Very trustworthy…Smokey was well taken care during our stay out of country. Liz kept us updated and spent good quality time with him. She was able to accommodate his ‘unique’ lifestyle habits and he was able to spend his enormous amount of energy…we can’t thank you enough!”
“Sherry is trustworthy and reliable! We have a high energy puppy and she did a great job with her! Sherry was very willing to continue the training we are currently doing to keep the consistency for our puppy. I greatly appreciated that. I highly recommend Sherry :)”

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: I simply adore animals! I will provide loving, playful, patient, high quality care that will leave your fur babies begging for more! I am able to administer medications and general care as specified. I also offer nail/claw trims for dogs and cats for $20. Just check the bathing/grooming box. I prioritize play, so even drop ins will get plenty of entertainment! Supervised puzzle feeds, or playing with favorite toys, or whatever pops up in the moment. Pup-led play is usually the most fun! My schedule is fairly open most of the time, but I am going to be starting trade school to become a barefoot specialist for equines sometime in 2026. I need a flexible work schedule so I can trim my case study horses, and the horses I already trim for a friend. - REGARDING OVERNIGHT STAYS! My rates are for ONE 12 hr overnight visit. If you need me for consecutive nights with drop ins during the day, my rates increase to cover each drop in. Walks, nail trims, daily brushing are also an additional cost. These additional charges will be discounted, not my full rate. Let's discuss it 😃 My kitties and I enjoy a peaceful life out in the country. We're new to it, and it's not our house, so I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces. I follow the 'leave no trace' hiking guideline into clients' homes! I respect privacy and will never invite strangers in or take photos for any other reason than to update you, the owner.

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.

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.
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.
