“Stacey you are amazing!!! If I lived in town still I would book you all the time! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby and my parents babies. We appreciate you!”
About: Since middle school, I've been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their beloved pets. In high school, I realized I had a true passion for animal care and spent a year working as a Pet Care Specialist at a local humane society, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm currently a student at Florida State University, and for the past three years I've worked full-time at a local pet resort, caring for dogs and cats every day. My experience includes supervising group play, handling one-on-one interactions, administering medications, recognizing body language and signs of stress, and providing individualized care to pets with different temperaments and needs. I also have a Doberman of my own, Phoenix, who has taught me just as much about patience, training, and building trust as any job ever could. I am comfortable handling both small and large dogs and am very knowledgeable about canine body language, allowing me to recognize when a dog is feeling nervous, overstimulated, or simply needs a little extra space. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and in good hands. I'm currently a full-time Florida State University student and work full-time, so my availability is focused on weekends. I'm available all day Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Friday evenings, making me a great option if you're planning a weekend getaway or need someone you can count on while you're out of town. When you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and personalized care. During every drop-in visit, my priority is making sure your pet stays comfortable and keeps their normal routine. Whether that means feeding meals, refreshing water, administering medications (if needed), potty breaks, walks, playtime, reinforcing training practices, or simply providing companionship, I'll tailor each visit to your pet's individual needs and personality. With my professional background working with dogs and cats, I'm experienced in recognizing body language, stress signals, and changes in behavior, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, follow any instructions you provide, and send plenty of photos and updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Jill is always great with our dogs. Both of our dogs have pretty bad separation anxiety but they get so excited when they see Jill. It def makes leaving them a little easier knowing they love who is taking care of them.”
“HIGHLY recommended! Mimi was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely work with her again! She was thoughtful, thorough, consistent, kind, caring and patient! Our cats LOVED her and honestly looked for her after the booking ended.”
“Taylor was excellent with Maggie. She also handled a key issue (totally my fault) calmly when I was definitely not calm since we were literally taking off on a 5.5 hour flight. 100% would recommend and will have Taylor take care of Maggie again!”
“Thank you so much putting smiles on Grace and Griff faces! I so appreciate you following instructions and keeping them separate. You did a great job of communicating with me from the request to the end. So glad you took care of them.”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.
“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”
About: I have 2 sweet pups of my own and their names are Nala (Corgi mix) and Lois (Jack Russell mix). Dogs make me so happy! I've had extensive experience staying overnight to stay with dogs, walking dogs and hosting guest dogs into my home. I'd love to meet your furry friend! I work as an Uber drive part time so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am happy to work around what your needs are and I'm generally free on most weekends as well. I have a fenced grass backyard with room for the puppers to roam around. I want to take every opportunity to have your dog feel safe and comfortable with my own dogs. I would never leave the dogs alone if I wasn't confident they would get along. I always love meeting new dogs and learning about their unique personalities!
“Emily is a great pet sitter! We usually have to kennel our pets and being out of their home stresses them out, so we turned to this app for help. Emily was great, made sure one of our cats got his cancer meds and made sure both were well cared for. If you're looking for someone for pets especially kitties she's your person.”
About: Starting in 2020, I have provided pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, lizards, and fish as needed, including administering medications for pets when required and staying overnight as needed. In my personal life, I have had pets my entire life. Currently, I have two dogs (a pitbull-lab mix and a Pekingese). I also have experience taking care of rodents, including hamsters and guinea pigs. I am currently a student at Florida State University, and I have a flexible schedule. I can balance sitting tasks alongside my schoolwork and classes. I will prioritize your pet's comfort in your own house and ensure that they feel safe and secure with me in their presence. I have experience staying with pets as well as taking them out and walking them, as I offer varied services depending on the pet's needs and habits.
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety pets for myself and others since I was 8 years old. I have taken care of rabbits, fish, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs; with a specialty in cat and dog care. I’m currently a student at FSU just trying to enjoy any of my free time playing with puppies or caring for cats! Pet care is like a second nature to me and I look forward to helping out! I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with their toys or providing enrichment playtime with cats who enjoy playtime or who need a little bit extra attention!
“This was our first time having anyone watch our rabbit and Lacy was wonderful with him!! We received pictures and messages after every visit. Lacy also did a meet and greet, which was super helpful! We would definitely ask Lacy to watch our little guy again and highly recommend them!”
About: Apart from taking care of my own dog with epilepsy from ages 14-18, I worked as a dog walker in NYC at My Dog Hikes. While working at My Dog Hikes, I walked dogs, pet sat, and took them to the van for a day long excursion in up state New York. My schedule is increasing free these days after my graduation from Florida State University. I teach guitar lessons at Mason's School of Music one day a week, and would love to fill this time with animal interaction. I am an avid exercise enthusiast and would take them to the parks for walks or runs. When I care for a pet, I pay attention to what the pet is needing at that moment. It is easy to acknowledge and address these signs while doing other things around the house. I am able to take dogs out very easily to our backyard with a leash. When I am in a client's home, I am respectful of the space and leave everything exactly as they left it. I was required to do this in Manhattan often. I would receive a client's house keys and walk their dog while they were at work.

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.
