“Lani went above and beyond for us and our three dogs who had different needs. She gave us informative updates and contacted us when situations arose that needed an answer. She had the courtesy to bring in packages from the front door. She connected with the dogs and it was obvious that they enjoyed her company. Will definitely be asking for her help in the future.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting on Rover for two years, but dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. We had a Golden Retriever who lived with severe epilepsy, and we did everything we could to give him the happiest, most comfortable life possible until we lost him in June. He meant the world to us, and we’d love to continue sharing that same love and care with other dogs in his honor. I work Monday–Friday from 8–5, but I’m able to come home midday for a quick potty break and check-in. Drop-off times are 6–7 AM or 6–8 PM. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with us! I work 8–5 during the week, but I can stop by at lunch for a quick potty break and check-in. I’m home in the evenings and on weekends, so there’s plenty of time for attention, cuddles, and playtime! I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home while they’re with me. Although I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available in the evenings and on weekends to provide loving, attentive care for your dog. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely—whether that means feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care.
“Savanna is a fantastic sitter. She is very sweet and she loves animals. She is not afraid of a litter box and will even water your plants if asked. I looked forward to her notes and pictures every morning as it gave me comfort knowing Oliver and the ferals were being well taken care of. I would absolutely have her watch my little friends again.”
About: I became a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College in 2021. I have 3 dogs of my own, and I love animals of all breeds and sizes. I am available to care for both dogs and cats. I am excited to provide reliable services and loving care for your fur baby! I work full time as a preschool teacher during the week, and I get off work around 5:15 Monday - Friday. I am available weekday evenings and any time on weekends. I do not provide services in my home. I provide services in the client’s home and follow any and all care instructions provided by the owner.
“London was great! She was very prompt, followed all my instructions, and stayed for the full hour during each visit. She fed both of my cats their wet food, gave my older cat her asthma medication, and spent time playing with them. Would book again and recommend!”
About: Hey hey Rover!! My name is Alexandra. I just started back up after 3 years, and I worked for Rover for about 5 years before! I am an actress, singer, and bartender living out of Lafayette, LA right now. :) I have lived in Atlanta (where I started with Rover) and I am from Memphis (where I worked ALOT for Rover)! I absolutely adore animals, and I take great care in providing for their needs, and I love going for walks myself. I am very much an outdoors woman, and once the Dalmatian (Eli) that I used to babysit ran/walked 2 miles with me, I figured out how to use up a lot of that energy! :) In my opinion, dogs (well animals in general) are little personalities, all different and unique, just like you and me. I will care for what is yours as though they were my own. Would love to talk more! I currently am a freelancer/contractor, so I can absolutely make the time for babysitting with your babe! My schedule is planned out pretty far in advance, and it’s flexible. :) I have a sweet, lovely, female 4 year old Ragdoll mix kitty, and she’s the absolute sweetest! Only dogs and male cats she’s ok with! I have a great space with a backyard against a tree line so I’ll make sure your babe is on a leash if we go out! I live on the first floor as well in a very safe quant apartment building. It’s not like the normal big apartment complex.
About: I have always owned and loved animals. Dogs, cats, birds, fish. This included all feeding and cleaning. These days we have a dog and 2 cats. I currently manage our businesses from home, allowing me plenty of time to love on your babies. I have a pretty open availability, making me a great option in a pinch! I come to your home and follow your instructions for feeding and caring. Of course, if its just checking in and changing litter or cleaning up messes, I do that, too. The pets and belly rubs are free!!
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. I was a dog breeder for many years but no longer sell but i still wanted a job surrounded by dogs I've been around and taken care of small dogs all the way to extra large dogs.Im very equip and your pet would be in good hands! I had a pitbull for 12 years and I had to learn how to train him and work with him. So im also experienced with more energetic dogs. As he got older I had to give him his pills every day. I don't have any dogs right now but would love the opportunity to care for yours! I would devote as much time as needed to care for your pet! My schedule is open and I would work around yours. Taking care of your pet would become my job. I would care for your pet according to the clients instructions. I would make sure the pet is hydrated and has plenty of water. They would have plenty of food. They would get lots of love and attention.
“Tessa came to check on my pets at the precise times I needed her to; on top of that, she was a very consistent communicator while I was away! I’m glad I booked with her and look forward to doing so again 🖤 10/10 recommend”
About: Ever since a kid animals have always fascinated me ! I loved playing and watching them grow as if they were my kids (which our pets are). I’ve watched dogs for coworkers and even friends , though the time was short many of the animals enjoyed their time with me being their sitter! I look forward to creating a special bond between me and your pet . Ensuring they feel safe and loved is what’s most important. Catering to your kiddos specific needs is what I do best . Whether it’s long walks , toy fights , or long baths , I’m down for the ride ! The world is such a beautiful place because of our animals why not love and cherish them .
About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for 8 years with knowledge and experience to care for a variety of needs for all types of pets. What this means for you: when you book with me you’re booking for gold standard care of a luxury style in home boarding vs. kennel boarding. I typically only work 3 days a week leaving me with open availability for the other days. These days do vary, but can be discussed further to meet needs. I have a privacy fence for a large play and potty area. Pets will be walked on the regular for exercise and feed as requested by the owner. All boarding/daycare dogs are required to be up to date on core vaccines (records provided prior to drop off) and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. They also must be provided a crate. This is to ensure safety of your pet.
About: I’ve always been someone to care for pets of my loved ones. I have both a pitbull and a tabby cat. I have experience mainly with larger dogs but am open to learn! I’m currently working minimal hours so would be open for multiple trips of feeding/walking. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, or playing. I can do basic hours excluding Sunday. I am very comfortable working with others to make appointments in their home. My goal is comfort and respect not only for your pet but for you as well.
About: I have had many dogs since I was a child. There was never not a dog in our household. I am one of those dog owners that will always spoil any dog I see. I am currently waiting on some state and National certifications to go through so I will be doing rover for the next month until I hear back. My home has a fenced in yard. My dogs are fed every morning. They are able to go in and out at they please throughly the day. I often take my dogs on car rides and play fetch and tug of war with them.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!

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.
