“Rebekah was great! She let our boys out and made sure they ate and went potty. She also played with them and tired them out! Rebekah was flexible and easy to work with and we will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Noodles has a new best friend. Paigg is reliable, sticks to the schedule, is an excellent communicator and most of all great with Noodles. We will use Paigg again.”
“Kayla was so good to our kitties, we can't thank her enough for just how attentive she was to their needs! She is an animal lover and that shows by her care and kindness. We'd never hired a pet sitter before and were nervous because our cats have some special dietary needs and quirky things they need to keep their spirits up. Kayla listened to these and executed them perfectly. She was even able to tell our very similar looking cats apart to address those needs, which most people can't do! And she sent photos and reports that put our minds at ease while we were away. We came home to two safe, well-fed happy kitties. We are very grateful to Kayla for her help with our precious boys, we will definitely hire her again, and we can't recommend her highly enough”
About: I've rescued 5 dogs over the last 16 years. I'm most familiar with bully breeds, Boxer, Jack Russel, Miniature Poodle, and the Bichon Frise. I also fostered a Rottweiler. I'm passionate about "adopt don't shop" when it comes to rescuing animals. I am familiar with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, reactivity, and poor leash walking behaviors. I've worked with trainers using positive reinforcement techniques to address these. I love the outdoors and will take your pups to the park, beach and wooded trails. I have also taken my dogs camping and kayaking! I don't have as much experience with cats, but I grew up with cats and am familiar with them. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet family members! My schedule is very flexible right now. I only need 3 days' notice for my services. I can care for your pet daily or weekly as needed. My dogs are walked 3-4 times per day since I don't have fencing. They have free range in our home while away, but are crated at night for sleeping. Both of my dogs take medications for separation anxiety and allergies, so I am familiar with administering medications. Our dogs eat twice daily and get lots of snuggling or play time at in the evening after work and on weekends.
“Virginia did a great job of taking care of my kitty and kept me informed. She was very flexible when I changed my travel dates, which was really appreciated. Would definitely use her again.”
“Breezy was amazing with our kitties! She did a meet and greet with them, in which they immediately gravitated towards her despite them being on the shyer side. She was patient and understanding of our more finicky cat and provided thorough updates during each check in about how much they ate, toileting, and behavior. She also played with them and gave them love at each visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch our kitties :)”

About: Hi my name is Gillian! I recently moved to Traverse City, and I am a registered nurse. I have always been a huge dog lover and have had pups all throughout growing up, so I am experienced in caring for these furry creatures whether it is walking, playing with, or just spending time together. I also adopted a husky named Blu, and he is a sweet, playful love bug. He loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly! He is good with kids as well and appreciates when they are respectful of him. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting, or daycare/ over night care in my home. Please reach out if I can be of service to you and your pup/pups in any of these ways! :) I have a sporadic schedule right now with a lot of free days off! I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pups in your home or mine! I live in a three bedroom home near chums corner. There is a large gated in yard for your pups to play in and it’s a safe area to go on lots of walks as well!
About: Since childhood, I've always had a dog at home, mainly pugs and Aussies. Back home, I use to watch all my siblings dogs as well as watching friends fur babies. I love animals! I’m going back to college (online) so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to go and let a pup out for a walk or even the possibly of sitting at my home. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. The Aussie is high energy and my pug is old and is not bothered by other dogs, he just will not play.
“Kristen was the best caretaker for our dogs that we’ve had to date. Would recommend. Gave us detailed updates and made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs for a week.”
“Lola did great with Stephanie and Scott. She seemed to be perfectly content when we returned from our four-days away. Stephanie was easy to work with. Highly recommend and I would use Stephanie and Scott again.”
“Marissa took great care of our two cats during our weekend away. She charmed even our shy kitty during the intro visit and gave us the peace of mind that they’d have good company while we were away. Thank you Marissa for treating our babies like your own!”
“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely 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 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.
