About: Hello! I have always had an love for animals and wanted to care for them. I have taken care of family, friends and personal pets. I have also volunteered and worked at animal shelters and or rescues. I clean, feed, bathe, and give medication/vaccines. I have a lovely sweet female beagle mix that will be 4 in feburary, her name is Dublin. A 1yr go go go fetch machine mini aussie named Gizmo. A 5 month friendly and curious kitten named Rose Dawson and last but certainly not least 2 yr old Casper the sweet and peaceful cat. I live in an apartment, so unfortunatly I can't dogsit at my own place, but I would love to care for your furry little ones at your own home! My schedule may fluctuate but my love is for animal care and I would love to meet and care for your Fur-babies. If doing a drop in visit at your home I will play with your dog and keep them mentally stimulated with tricks they may already know or work with them to learn a new trick you may want to teach them :) I will even bring some of my own dogs personal toys if I think they may enjoy it! If allowed I can also bring my dogs for a dog play date AFTER seeing if everyone will get along, so I am open to dog meetings before hand. Safety for humans and canines is important to me. I currently work full time but when I am not working I have the time to walk care for and play with your fur baby. Communication with me and vice versa is key.

For walks I will spend time making sure your furry companion goes potty and have plenty of sniff breaks, get some love and affection, and also try to keep them mentally engaged if they know tricks. If allowed at your discretion I will also bring healthy single ingrediant treats for good behavior 😊
“I always enjoy Kathryn being around Marley, she is truly amazing on what she does. You can see the love she has for dogs. I was comfortable knowing that she will do a few drop ins with Marley while we were at Disneyland. I totally recommend her. Can’t wait for the next one, Marley loves you!”
About: I have over 11 years experience as a veterinarian assistant as well as a pet owner myself. I am an army veteran.My family loves animals and treats each one as their own. We currently live in our camper in a wonderful rv park in Marshall til we get our forever home set up then we will be accepting in home stays but I love working with animals and if I can help a family out by walking and spending some time with them while they are in their home comfort and it makes pet owners feel at ease knowing their pets are being loved and cared for while they are at work or away. I am a stay at home mom with a 12 year old and a new son on the way. We have always been around animals so this is nothing new to us. I am only able to do drop in visits right now as we are working on buying our first home but when that happens we will have a whole doggy home for your pets to enjoy their stay with our family!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve cared for all different kinds of animals and previously worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’m currently in college studying pre veterinary medicine, so caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about.

I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after 1 PM, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them comfortable. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have cared for many dogs in my life. I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, as well as my own, ranging from chihuahuas to great danes. I have yet to meet a pooch who doesn't like me. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pup. I know that each pup is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of the pup or pups. I'm Alexis and I will be your pup's best friend! I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always owned pets and taken care of neighbors pets when away. I enjoy being able to provide them with their personal necessities i.e walking, taking to go potty, administering medications, and playing. I am not working and I am available most days of the week. I am always up for work so feel free to contact me. I prefer to do work in a clients home typically pets are more inclined to behave as regular! I am very clean and any accidents will be handled promptly, I am NOT a smoker, and am constantly checking up on pets activities and taking care of their needs.
About: I was a volunteer at a pet shelter, and got "dog walker certified" and also bathed multiple dogs, I can also give them their meds!!

I will make sure they have clean bowls and water, clean up after the messes they make no matter what kind that may be and will give them extra EXTRA love and make sure they are all played out, because no one wants to be sitting at home all day doing nothing!!
“Dustin was fantastic with our Oreo. He came to the house daily and checked in on her and sent pics with updates. She usually has a bit of separation anxiety and doesn't eat much when we're gone, but her bowls were empty each day, which is a good sign. Oreo has found a new friend, we'll be using him again in the near future.”
“Passion did an awesome job of taking care of our furbabies while we were out of town for a couple of days at Christmas. Her communication was awesome! She answered all our questions and sent lots of pictures! This was the first time we’d used a pet sitter and I was nervous, but she set our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be calling her again.”

“Ebony is great! She communicates very well so she knows exactly what is expected from her. She even check on a non-pet related item for me when I asked. I came hope to happy and healthy pets. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity
About: I have grew up and been around animals for years. Animals are my world, and I make sure I treat everybody’s like my own! Feel free to message me for any information. I am a stay at home student. I have a baby on the way so my schedule is wide open! My classes are online so I can do them off of my phone if need be. I would feed, walk, clean, and give your pups all the lovings! I would go to the client’s home because your pet is the most comfortable in their domain!

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.
