“Lisa and Drew did a great job caring for our dog. We appreciated all of the photo updates and reaching out with questions about how to keep our dog cool in the heat and if he had any issues with storms. We would gladly use them again! Thank you!”
About: i have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm and still live on one. Animals are my passion. I have trained a few of my personal dogs the basics and would love to spend more time with more animals. I drive school bus in the mornings monday - friday and host open houses on the weekends. i am very flexible during the day and evenings I take great pride in having the best care for the animals i look after. I always take care of every animal like my own. they are family not pets in my house.
“Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.”
About: I have spent my whole life around animals. My passion goes way beyond standard pet care. I worked for two years as a professional dog bather and kennel attendant. That experience taught me how to handle all sizes of dogs safely. I can also do expert nail trims and baths. When I am not with pets I volunteer at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in the mammal nursery. Caring for fragile wildlife requires extreme patience and strict schedules. My schedule is highly flexible! I am fully available most days for walks and drop in visits. I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet's routine. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date with my exact availability. Safety is my #1 priority! I have a professional kennel background and experience with fragile wildlife so I’m super observant and know how to handle animals safely. I’m extra careful about locking gates and making sure no one escapes through the front door. I'll strictly follow your feeding schedules and care rules and I’ll send you tons of cute photo updates so you know your babies are happy and loved!
About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.
About: I have had many dogs over my lifetime and have two dogs now that are my whole world. I am very good with training and have very good patience with puppies and hyper dogs. I also have experience with taking care of reptiles and small animals such as bunnies, rats and ferrets! I am available most of the day and weekends if necessary. I can do evenings and mornings. I do have a toddler that I may need to bring some days. I have a fenced backyard and two crates in my basement if your pet needs to be crated. I have two medium sized dogs that are very good with other dogs. Both my dogs are puppy pros so I am open to puppies. I have a cat that keeps to herself and is good with other dogs.
“This is the second time we've had Julia check in on our cat Gizmo for multiple visits. She always sends great photos of how well he's doing and even fixed our automatic cat feeder this time and completely changed out his litter for us! We love Julia and so does Gizmo!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life I raised 8 puppies in my home when my dog gave birth and it was the best experience of my life. I love and take care of dogs like they are my children and make sure they get the best care. I am also taking care of my own dog who is 14 years old. I am in school part time as I have the rest of the day to take care of peoples animals. I also enjoy going on daily walks outside which is perfect when needing to take dogs on walks and take care of them. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of trails that I can take dogs walks on and I have a screened in porch that they can go outside and lay down for some sun bathing. I will feed them on there daily schedule and make sure I follow the clients certain instructions for there dog as I want to make sure they can trust me with there baby, and that I won’t mess up there daily schedule. I will also respect people privacy when I enter their home and only follow what they tell me to do.
“Camila is amazing! I have a geriatric pug and hard headed bulldog and she always takes such good care of them, even with all their health needs and quirks. Great communication and the pups love having her!”
About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.

I’m currently out of college for the summer and would like to keep my schedule busy as I’m not in school now! I am free Monday- Friday and sometimes weekends! I’m super comfortable with getting pups inside or crating them if needed. Treats always can work wonders!! I have no issues if any pups need to be moved in a separate area!
“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine and had very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence, vibe, and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit and as pet parents, we are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of almost every size of dog since I was 8. I’ve always loved dogs with a passion and am happy to help. I have 2 large labs who love to play. I have had pets my entire life, more specifically dogs, and would love to help take care of your furry friends. I am currently working a full time job as well, so my availability would depend on my work schedule. We have a large fenced in yard that our girls love to run and play in all day. We also take them for walks, and to the dog park for their enjoyment.
About: I’m a reliable, mature, and detail-oriented dog walker who truly treats every dog like my own. I’ve grown up around animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I adapt to each dog’s needs with patience and care. I am currently at college so my schedule is flexible! I am free anytime Tuesdays and Thursdays and Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30-10. My weekends are flexible as well! When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow their regular routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure to provide feeding, exercise, and playtime exactly as the owner requests. I treat their home with respect and maintain clear communication by sending updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.

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.
