“I feel so safe when my two fur babies are in Jennifer's care. She's loving and patient with them and takes time to play with them each visit. She also sends terrific pics of the cats!”
“I know my kitties are always in good hands with Kimberly! She is punctual, consistent, and gives great updates with each visit, and has won over my shy boys. I will always recommend her, and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“I’m so thankful to have found such good folks to look in on my little one. David and Lisa were professional, reliable and kept me updated daily with great photos. I highly reccomend them!”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
“As a long time Rover sitter, this was my first experience on the other side of this service and I have only positive things to say about Solace. She was warm and communicative from Meet & Greet through visits. She took time to make sure that my sometimes anxious dog felt comfortable and able to relax and sent personal updates that made it clear that she was t just phoning it it. I highly recommend Solace as a pet sitter.”
About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
“Rue had the best time with Jerry for her drop in visit. It is so nice knowing our dog is well cared for when we are gone!! We loved getting her report card after each day!”
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I can shape my schedule around the needs of you and your dog and give them the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard where they will be free to roam, along with abundant room inside where they will receive lots of care and attention. Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
“Gisselle was wonderful! My little guy was nervous at first and has separation anxiety. Within twenty minutes she sent a pic, of him relaxed and having a good time! Thank you! Definitely recommend!”
“Valerie genuinely cares about the pets they watch over. Valerie sends detailed report cards and sweet images of our furry pal that provide reassurance when we’re away. Highly recommended:)”
About: I grew up around various different dogs and have experience ranging from dog sitting, working at boarding facilities, fostering, and basic training. I’ve worked with many different breeds and work on positive reinforcement based training on my walks to improve leash manners and confidence. Dogs in my care receive both physical and mental exercise through walks, play, scent games, and training. I am open to working with reactive dogs or fearful dogs. If you have an intact male, please message me prior to booking. I look forward to loving your pup! I’m a teacher which means I’m home for the summer! I’m available all day, everyday to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I always like to do a meet and greet with dogs prior to boarding so I can better understand their needs and so they can get to know me. I take various safety measures based on each dogs needs. This may include double leashing, using a slip or martingale collar, or walking in quiet locations.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little girl. Currently I have a slightly spicy and grumpy diabetic min pin, so I’m no stranger to any “Handle with Care” pets. I’m also blessed to have professional animal behavior, training, and care experience in the zoological field. It very easily transfers over to our furry friends!🐾 I love pups of all ages and levels of care needed. I’m more than willing to put forth my best efforts to help your doggo have a better day💕 I’m new to the area and have a new full time job, so my routine isn’t set in stone at this time. But I will surely update as I become accustom to my new life! I always follow instruction and preferences given by fellow pet parents, and treat the client and home as if it were my own. Bringing a little bit of my passions but also a respectful attitude to your home ☺️
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. From a young age, my parents taught me how to raise, train, and care for dogs, including training wilderness search & rescue dogs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic young puppies to beloved senior pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they're away from home. Our own dog, Merlin, gets two walks every day, rain or shine, and we believe every dog deserves that same level of attention and care. When your dog stays with us, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. We treat every dog in our care the way we'd want someone to treat a member of our own family. I work from home on a contract basis and take care of our daughter throughout the day so I can devote as much time as needed to ensuring your pet gets all the love and attention to their needs as they deserve. I have a small fenced yard and some extra dog crates if needed. Merlin and I need two walks a day through baseball fields and forest near our house and I will bring your dog along too. I can also do more walks with them if needed. I can also visit or stay in your home. Your dog will be our guest and we pride ourselves in keeping a clean home for pets.
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years (6 years with Companion Animal Wellness Center and 2 years with Tender Touch Animal Hospital, and two years with animal emergency and speciality center) and I also worked in animal rescue for two years at Pasado's Safe Haven. I love dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about what they enjoy and how I can help them live happy and healthy lives! I've helped two clinics implement cat friendly practice standards and have a solid understanding of cat behavior. I am comfortable giving medications and know when medical care is needed. I am also a pet owner myself and understand how important it is that you be able to trust your pet caregiver to treat them like family! I teach special education now and so am pretty busy during the school year. If my 12 year old son can come, he’s great with animals too, and I can be more flexible then. Feel free to ask me if something will work! Over the summer I am very available, only needing to be home for about 4-6 hours a day to take care of my own dog. If your dogs are pet social and you don’t have cats ( too fun to chase!), I can stay all day. During the school year, I am gone from 7am until 5 or 6pm, so realistically can only do weekends or solely overnight care. I know the level of trust it takes to leave your fur children with someone new. I will follow your directions and try to keep things as steady for them as possible. My son and I love animals of all shapes and sizes and we love playing with and spending time with them.
About: I have had many pets growing up and am understanding to the awareness and patience needed to care for diverse animals and look forward to learning more. My current work schedule allows me flexibility to attend to early walks or drop ins and afternoon as well. I am open to finding as much flexibility to ensure I can meet your fur babies needs! I have a fenced in yard with a 2 year old black German Shepard border collie mix and a 6 year old shorthair black cat.
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the house at all times, and I love them! I’ve dog-sat a bunch of times and I always enjoy meeting new animals! I live a pretty active lifestyle and can adjust to your dogs needs! I currently work in the morning, getting off around noon (so about four hours) and the rest of the time I’m free! I try for 10k steps a day and like to take my dog for adventures on the weekend! I have one dog, a Swiss Shepard, he’s pretty big but full of energy and loves dogs. He would love to have a play buddy to hang out with! That being said I also have an extra room with a crate if your dog needs a break. Dogs will be separated when I leave just for the peace of mind. I also have a partially fenced backyard and have a dog line installed for quick potty breaks. I take my dog on a walk at least twice a day sometimes more and a bunch of breaks to the backyard whenever he wants, and your dog can enjoy it too!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Central Valley
As ever, Kim came through for me and my cats when I had to make a bit of a last-minute trip. And she not only came through, she knew exactly what to do with the many varied wet cat food and dishes I left out with no note from me on what I was asking for because I'd been running a little behind schedule that day. Kim has incredible intuition, thank goodness! She's also very affectionate, intelligent, and careful. Just what I was looking for in a cat caregiver the many years ago I first hired her. My cats are always calm and happy when I come home from trips, and they genuinely like and trust her. Thank you again, Kim!
Lisa as always just does an outstanding job taking care of our cat Callie. We always know she is well cared for looking at the pictures she sends. Callie has come to know her so it makes it nice that she interacts with her. We highly recommend her for great care with your animals. Linda Johnson
Julie was great! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She was consistent with communication (pictures/videos) and care for him. She followed instructions and schedules to the T! As well very polite interactions from the very beginning c:. If you’re looking for someone that will make your baby feel the upmost comfortable and loved when you’re gone, Julie is the way to go! Thank you again, I appreciate you so much! c:
Very friendly, and took great care of my pups! They took to him right away and were immediate friends. Great communication, always kept me updated and asked questions when issues came up. Highly recommend him to take care of your pets, definitely will book with him again on future care needs.
Absolutely amazing!! Very responsive, took good care of our cats, and very sweet! There was definitely a comfort in knowing that someone that was reliable and sweet to our babies was taking good care of them while we were gone! Made our trip so much more relaxing since we didn’t have to stress or worry about our cats. Also did amazing with our one cat who has a lot of food allergies and requires a little more care when it comes to his food (eats special food and we have feeders that will only open for the specific cat’s microchip)! Overall, highly recommend and will 100% be rebooking!!
Wonderful sitter. She is always on time, very responsive to communication and is great at last minute changes, including adding drop in visits and changes to pet needs. It can be very difficult to find reliable sitters for your pets. And I feel I have finally found one!
Brianna is amazing! She has dog sat our 2 precious girls for more than 6 months. She is one of the most caring and flexible caretakers we have came across on this app. You can tell immediately that she is experienced and communicates well. 10/10, highly recommend.

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.
