“Angela is terrific and very flexible. I had to adjust my scheduled visits on short notice due to a change in my travel plans.

She is a warm and caring woman and I have complete confidence that she will care for my pets as if they were her own. Thank you.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was ten - feeding them, playing with them and loving on them. A dog is man’s best friend and becomes a cute, beautiful and cherished family member all at the same time! I am a mom, a grandmother and a lover of animals and an uncharted caretaker who will love and care for your pets as if they are my own. I will walk with them, play with them and administer whatever is needed as far as meds and their other daily needs. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets. My schedule is flexible to schedule you at your convenience. I am available day or night and for overnight stays for long periods of time. I will make sure your pets feel loved and cared for in your home and will leave your home clean with your animals well cared for.

“Emily was absolutely amazing. My dog was sososo happy in the photos sent by Emily and I have never seen my dog happier in the photos sent from any other sitter. My dog requires a lot of love/attention and I could definitely tell that Emily gave her all of it while we were away! Emily even gave my dog a new toy that came in the mail AND cleaned up the mess. I will definitely be booking again!!”

About: I have had more than 15 years experience taking care of dogs, cats, and bunnies. I enjoy taking care of animals because they are just like babies, they need extra love and attention because they’re not always able to communicate their needs. So one of my greatest passions is making sure that every animal I interact with in any way feels loved, safe and happy! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for same day visits or walks whenever needed. I can also come for multiple visits, give them any oral medications and anything else that may be helpful to you and your fur baby. I will be happy to care for your fur babies where they are most comfortable in their own home/environment. I’m very communicative so you will always know how your pets are doing and you will always be able to reach me at any time.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love being around animals. From a young age, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m able to accommodate regular routines, feedings, and any special needs, and I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce new pets slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone is comfortable. I closely supervise interactions, follow each pet’s routine, and can crate your dog if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).

About: My parents became dog groomers when I was 7 years old, so i was surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up in the industry gave me hands-on experience with every breed, size age and temperament. As a professional dog groomer, I am comfortable with anxious dogs, seniors, puppies. energtic breeds. My main priority is finding what comforts your dog while you are away whether that's it is giving cuddles, playing or going for constant walks. I have an open schedule since I create it as dog a groomer being my main job. I have a lot of free time so taking care of your dog will not be an issue at all. My complex has a lot of safety features and as well amenities for them to play. Your dog ever will be left alone in the house.

I myself love animals and had my own baby for 12 years before he past with lymphoma. he was my first child lol. I grew up with cats and dogs and truly enjoyed the campion of both. I am very experienced with elderly dogs and medications as my pup had arthritis and in the end making him as comfortable as we could. I would love to take care of your babies and spoil them as you would. Hope to see you soon. I work full time in Punta Gorda but have the flexibility to care for your baby. They will be cared for day and night with tons of love. I have cared for pets for years. I have also taken vet tech courses online and worked for Suncoast Humane Society. I am a household manager by trade so I am very neat and organized and so are my kids.

Sofie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs. Theo our one year-old Chihuahua and Sophie our 12-year-old Pomeranian. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries that she was giving them love and attention. She communicated daily and kept us up-to-date on her visits. We would highly recommend sofie and plan on asking her to watch our dogs again in June.

Dillon is absolutely amazing with my puppy!! Copper is a puppy so he is so full of energy but Dillon is able to handle him with such kindness and ease! Cooper loves Dillon so when he isn’t available it’s sad because he is truly amazing with him. He also always takes such funny pictures of Copper I love it. I cannot recommend Dillon enough

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.
