About: I have looked after pets of many family members and friends for most of my life, including older pets that require medications and certain accommodations. I consider myself very patient and attentive to pets' needs. I work freelance with flexible hours, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I am able to focus solely on my client's pet(s). I am happy to bring the attention and comfort to your pets that they need. That includes walking dogs frequently, playing often, maintaining diet and clean drinking water, picking up poos, and cleaning up messes! I am also happy to accommodate on overnight stays pets who may want to sleep in the bed or require night/early morning care.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and am comfortable and eager to help you care for yours! Due to family allergies, I can no longer care for furry friends in my own home… so I’ve decided to help you care for yours! I have experienced the whole life cycle with various pets over the years. From puppies to seniors, I know how to approach pet care and even medication management. I work full time Tuesday - Friday but am still available on those days for short drop-ins or walks after 5 pm if you live in the Panther Creek or Preston areas. I am available all day Saturday - Monday for longer drop-in visits or hikes/walks! I have plenty of energy and can help your pets let out theirs with brisk walks or leisurely strolls - depending on their preference! I love a game of fetch or laser tag, string toys and catnip are also favorites. But don’t worry, I am also happy to lounge on the floor or sit in the shade if your pet prefers that! Your furbaby(ies) will always be the only pet(s) I am with during a booked visit - so my attention is completely on them. I will ensure your pet is left with a clean box/new pads, fresh water, and a treat. Leashes are a must if your pet is going outdoors (unless you have a securely locked gate). On walks I keep a large safety bubble to avoid getting too close to other pets or people - in my experience this has proved helpful in avoiding potentially dangerous situations. You’ll receive plenty of photos and updates from me during your booked visit as well!
“Could not be happier with Sabrina taking care of our senior cat while we were gone. Great communication, great care, she made it easy to leave our girl at home.”
“Sarah was great with atticus. She took good care of him, was timely and sent me updates about his walk. I was happy with her overall and would definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. My own chihuahua recently passed away, so while I’m not ready for a dog of my own, I'd love to take your friend for great walks. I’m punctual, reliable, and very communicative—you’ll always know how your dog is doing. I’m experienced with Chihuahuas, Pugs, Labradors, Newfoundlands, and Beagles, and I’m happy (and able) to match your dog’s pace, routine, and energy level. I’m comfortable with: Dogs of all sizes Leash training and structured walks Senior dogs and dogs with slower mobility High-energy breeds that need longer or more active outings Your dog’s safety and happiness come first, and I’d love to be someone they’re excited to see. My schedule is open, so I can offer flexible accommodation for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. I'm happy to accept both routine and last minute requests. I walk every day and would love for your pet to join me! I am very familiar with the neighborhoods and walking paths in the area. As a walker myself, I understand the importance of staying vigilant and aware of my surroundings, such as traffic and other pets. When walking, I will ensure your dog is leashed and safe at all times. I will honor all special requests and requirements to ensure the best care for your pet. Specific to senior dogs, I am familiar and comfortable with providing specific care and attention to mobility needs.
“Olga is knowledgeable and truly loves animals. I know she is also very reliable and honest. My aged dog was happy and cared for. Olga will always be my first choise in the future.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I’ve had both cats and dogs since I was a kid, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, ages, and needs. I currently have a five year old Carolina Dog who I adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks old. Raising her from a puppy has given me hands on experience with puppy care, training, patience, and all the little things that come with helping a young dog grow into a happy, well adjusted companion. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away I'm currently working a part time job at home with a very flexible schedule. I have open availability during the week as well as some weekend availability. I’ll mainly care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and medications, while making sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of attention. I want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“He was super nice and caring with my cats, he spent quality time with them everyday, which ended up in long purring sessions from my cats, he brushed them everyday and that was fantastic bonding with them. He took great care and with a lot of affection towards them which made me feel great, I get pet sitter twice a day, just coz I dont wnat them to miss human interaction and this bonding really helps me think they are getting that affection and care which they need when I am gone.”
“Great with our senior Pom who needed multiple touches a day and medication 2x a day. We worried leaving her for a week but Rosemary was very attentive and kept in communication throughout our trip. Would absolutely rebook/recommend!”
“Roxanna was SO helpful to us while we were out of town and went above and beyond for us. I didn’t worry a second that our kitties werent taken care of! Thank you again!”
“Caroline took such amazing care of Millie and Mia and truly went above and beyond! She sent me detailed updates, notes, and lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She’s absolutely awesome, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves cats! I’ll definitely be booking her again. 🐾❤️”
“Carlito was so well taken care of while I was gone. Vincent was friendly, professional, and communicative through out the whole reservation. I had several pictures from each visit. I came back to a very happy kitten. Thank you for all you did, Vincent.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and friends, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine and personality, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help your pet feel safe and comfortable while staying with me. I currently accept one dog at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during the week and on weekends, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s normal routine. I accept only one dog at a time so I can provide individual care and supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and accept only one dog at a time. Since I work from home, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and regular supervision throughout the day. I carefully follow each pet parent’s feeding, walking, crate, medication, and sleeping instructions, and I’m happy to send photos and updates during the stay.
About: I've always had a love for animals from a young age. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and birds of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As an active walker and nature enthusiast, I'd love the extra company! My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while in my care. I also love capturing special moments along the way and sending home our furry friends back to their parents with digital souvenirs! I currently work remote, which gives me flexibility to cater towards your pet's needs and routine. I'm generally available throughout the week, including weekends, as long as services are scheduled in advance. I'm happy to work with you and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and happy while you're away! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure to follow care instructions closely to maintain familiar routines, and keeping owners updated with messages or photos throughout their stay.
About: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets during the late afternoon and early evenings. During the school year I'm often available on Weekends and holidays. I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carpenter
Hannah was wonderful! Our automatic feeder wasn’t working and she was able to come over that morning to check on our babies! Thanks so much for responding right away and giving us peace of mind while we were out of town. Hannah is the best and we’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter who always gives our kitties lots of pets and play!
We had such a wonderful experience with Polina! She was incredibly affectionate, caring, and attentive with our dog. Our dog took an instant liking to her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog sitter!
Griffin was amazing with Cooper! She took great care of him and updated me all the time with how he was and what all she was doing with him, she always was there on time to take him out which made being away from him much less stressful knowing that he was being taken care of the same way I do! Highly recommend to anyone needing a sweet caregiver to their pup!
Berea was so loving and thoughtful in taking care of our dog while we were on a trip! I had to reach out for a last-minute request, but she was so willing to be flexible and wanted to understand my dog's needs fully so she could take care of him. She sent me so many updates throughout her visit and I knew from my dog's facial expressions that he loved spending time with her! Recommend Berea!
Ben was great! He was on time for each visit, did what was asked for our pets and plants, asked questions, reported issues, and communicated about the pets throughout the week. He was tidy and even walked the dog for miles in the summer heat! I will definitely hire him 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 .
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.
