“Lilian was amazing! I am so thankful we met her. Very responsible - makes leaving home so much easier. Your fur babies get to stay at home and get wonderful, loving care I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I will definitely be sharing and telling other about her. I will be using her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve helped care for my family dog since 2019 and have hands-on experience house sitting for local pets over the years. Thanks to a flexible college schedule, I’m available throughout the day during regular working hours for continuous companionship, potty breaks, feeding, and walks. Your dog will be in caring, reliable hands! My daily routine is extremely open and flexible. I only have one college class a day and my weekends are completely free, leaving me with plenty of open time during standard work hours. With my own reliable car, I can easily travel to your home multiple times a day for drop-in visits, energetic walks, or extended playtimes whenever your pet needs attention. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their normal routine as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether I’m staying overnight, stopping by for check-ins, or taking them on active neighborhood walks, I focus on attentive, personalized care. I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, giving lots of affection, and providing regular updates so you always have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine living without them. In college, I worked for two years at a local animal shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all kinds. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication and extra attention. That experience taught me a lot about animal behavior, health, and the patience pets deserve. I now have a flexible job that makes it easy for me to check in on your pets. My dog loves being around other dogs and cats. Whether your pup needs a play buddy, a calm presence, or some TLC, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I have a full time job time job that I live 5 minutes away from. I get an hour lunch where I come home and let my dog out. However, I am lucky enough to work at a flexible workplace that would allow me to drive home a couple times throughout the day if need be. I do not have a fenced in back yard, but do have a yard that my dog plays in every day. My dog Lady May, LOVES playing with other dogs. She is a very chill dog and cats alike!
About: Ive taken care of pets pretty much my whole life. Dogs and cats, we have 2 dogs at home and three inside cats! They all love each other and I love taking care of them! I am a college student at FHSU, and I love being around pets even though we cannot have any in the dorms. I love to get exercise in and it’s even better when I have a furry friend with me! I will not be able to bring them to my home, but I treat everyone’s belonging and property better than I would treat my own! I have house sat for my grandparents and leave it better than they left it every time! I love pets and I am a very respectful and kind person!

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.
