“Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!”
“I highly recommend her, she is very responsible, she arrives on time and takes good care of your pet, she sends you photos of the moment, which I thought was very nice of her”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, extended care, or overnight attention, I’m committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines. I believe in building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your home. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary
About: Ever since I was a toddler, I always been surrounded by animals. Whether is a dog, cat, bunnies, chickens, and so forth. I always had compassion for animals, so I’m trying to save up to become a vet tech. I currently own 4 dogs, Pekingese, Peke-zu, and 2 Chows , so I’m pretty used to the chaos. I know some basic commands such as sit, down,and leave it, so if you need help with that I’ll gladly teach your pet. I also don’t mind if your pet needs a bath and blow dry, just let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my dog dryer and brushes. Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward in meeting you and taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed, so I definitely will have time in looking after your pet. I normally wake up as early as 5:30 am since my dogs are my alarm clock since they’re ready for food by 6am. I will prefer at home dog sitting since I have 4 dogs at my house and depending on your dog it might be overwhelming for them. I have slip leashes if you need help with corrections if your pet tends to pull when going on walks.
“Gretta was great! She agreed to do a check-in on such a late notice. Super thankful for that! Communication was good and she was on time. She followed all instructions. I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future. My Yogi Bear and I thank you! 🫶🏼”
“Bailey was great with my cat who is very shy. Bailey took very good care of her and was even able to get Poppy to come out and greet her and she sent pictures to me. Very pleased, will hire her again!♥️♥️♥️”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I have pets of my own I love and care for, but I absolutely adore meeting a new face and a new personality! My boss and her peers have relied on me before to house sit for them while they are away or even just to stop by and let them out on a treat and potty break while they’re off running errands or working. I have a pretty open schedule as I am a Licensed Esthetician I am able to adjust my schedule accordingly most times. That being said as a young Esthetician I do have set hours on somedays. Which are usually: Mondays, Tuesdays, and sometimes Saturdays. 8am-10pm If you have any questions about my schedule don’t be afraid to ask. There sometimes is room for adjustments on those days as well. I have a fenced backyard your fur baby can enjoy with many trees for shade in this hot weather! Almost any accommodations can be made if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs, so I make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who may need extra patience, consistency, potty breaks, and basic reinforcement of training routines, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, medication support, mobility awareness, and extra comfort. I pay close attention to behavior changes, feeding schedules, and special instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are in caring, capable hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to a pet’s established routine, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. As a teacher, I have a dependable routine that allows me to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and 2–3 check-ins during the workday. My structured schedule makes it easy to provide consistent, reliable care, and I often have even more flexibility on weekends and school breaks. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have access to a large, securely fenced backyard for safe play and exercise, and we have two friendly dogs who can offer companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I always make introductions carefully and prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to help pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid! Whether that be farm animals such as horses, cows and goats to household pets like dogs, cats, and birds. I have volunteered at multiple rescues, have my animal science degree, and a currently work in Veterinary sales. I currently have a full time job, however I am always looking for ways to make extra money and get to meet new fur babies on the weekends or evenings! I care for your pets as if they are my own, as I know how important they are to you. I will be able to do whatever is needed to make sure they feel comfortable!
About: I have a significant amount of experience caring for my own little spaniel of 15 years, who thrived and loved life before passing. I have pet sit for a handful of family friends on several occasions and fall in love with every dog I meet. In the past I have worked with my grandmother, who used to be a local breeder in her town. I learned a lot about caring and nurturing newborn puppies, especially as they grew older. I’ve also obtained experience working at a Petsmart grooming salon, where I gained valuable insight into the process of bathing and grooming various breeds! Although I do currently go to school full time and work a part-time job on the weekends, I am looking for opportunities to do drop-ins and dog walking. I love to be outdoors, so if you have a dog that loves a good hike and long trail, I’m on board! I also love to stay in if you are just needing someone to check in on your friend and care for them in your absence. I do over night stays if needed as long as it works around my current schedule, I am more than open to discussing details if necessary. Anyone’s pup would be safe in my care, I love to treat any animal I interact with as if they were my own. It’s always my first priority to ensure that the animals I care for do not go hungry, get bored, or feel lonely. Know that your bestfriend would be well watched after and receive lots of love by me. I am a dog person through and through.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, worked at a vet clinic, learned CPR for dogs, and dabbled in training as well. I’m efficient at giving medications (even injectables), can do basic training, am cautious with any other dog interactions while walking, and am detail oriented to provide the best care. I enjoy interacting with your pet and becoming a familiar face they look forward to seeing while you’re gone! Let me love your fur babies like I do my own! I currently stay at home mostly with my daughter and my own dogs, work part time, and have a little extra time to dedicate to others who need help taking care of their pets! I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I don’t mind sitting there for a while to work on earning their trust. All dogs are different and require different approaches to meet their needs. I very much enjoy getting to love on them if they let me and creating a fun environment for them while you are away. I also enjoy training basics if that is something that interests you! My favorite thing to do is bring special treats to each visit (with permission of course)!

“Britni absolutely met all of my cat’s needs and then some, my fur baby was a bit difficult with her but Britni did her best to make sure that my cat was loved and taken care of. Cared greatly for the time I was gone and even brought my cat treats and made her feel safe. Definitely recommend booking with Britni and I will be doing it again next time I’m gone!”

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.
