“Elissa is absolutely amazing. She did such a great job with our animals. She treated them like her own. Like her own family. She sent me constant pictures and updates about how my animals were doing and helped me feel a lot better about the process. I felt safe knowing that our animals were in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be hiring her again! Thank you, Elissa!”


About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. As a mom to three of my own, I know doggos are a part of the family. I specialize with large dogs and bully breeds, but I've never met a dog I didn't instantly love! I can do walks, playtime, drop ins, house sitting, cuddles, feeding routines, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your dog company while you're away. I would make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll care for your dog(s) as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. Caring for my dogs isn't something I squeeze into my schedule, it's already a part of my everyday life. With full availability and my house already centered around my own dogs, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive care, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I have a full open flexible schedule. As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. They'll get plenty of attention, belly rubs, playtime, and love. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for every step of the way.

About: Hi! I’m a college student and student-athlete with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience dog sitting, walking, and bathing dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently have a part-time job with very flexible hours, which allows me to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and any other care your pet may need. I enjoy staying active, so spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to each day! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping it clean. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Zoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!”

“Stacy was wonderful! I could tell she has a big heart from the moment we met her. She took excellent care of our 2 kitty boys and even got our very cautious/skittish fella to come out for pets! Great communication and a lovely experience all around. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Lauran was great with the catkids, she came by on days while I was at work to check on them after their spay. When meeting them before the procedure, they took right to her and she is definitely a cat person that knows how to care for them. I would utilize her services in the future should the need arise, and would recommend her.”

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize creating a balance that allows me to provide attentive and loving care. My schedule is flexible, enabling me to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. I take pride in being organized and ensuring that each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. I will not be allowed to bring animals into my home sadly. I am more than able to come to you or pick up your dog and hang out with them for the day!
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom offering full-time, one-on-one care for your dog in a calm, loving home. I only board one family’s pet at a time, ensuring a peaceful, low-stress environment with truly individualized attention, no overcrowding, no chaos. Because I’m home all day, your pup will never be left alone or feel lonely. I provide constant supervision, affection, and care tailored to your dog’s personality, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, structured routines, or a quiet place to relax. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and access to nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment, so your dog can stay active while still being in a secure environment. I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand how deeply they’re loved as family. I also hold a degree in Psychology from Florida State University, which gives me a strong understanding of behavior, emotional needs, and patience—helping me create a calm, reassuring environment for every dog. We recently said goodbye to our sweet dog who lived nearly 18 wonderful years. While we aren’t ready to welcome another of our own just yet, we have so much love to give. Caring for other dogs feels like a meaningful way to honor him while giving pet parents peace of mind that their dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for. I am home full-time as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I am available for boarding and daycare most weekdays and weekends with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Because I only accept one family’s pet at a time, early booking is encouraged. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for one family’s pet at a time, which allows me to give your dog my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time, so your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care instructions. We have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. For dogs who enjoy walks, we also have a quiet neighborhood trail nearby, and I’m happy to include them in my regular 3-mile walks if appropriate. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home where your dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brooks did an amazing job watching our dog Utley while we were on vacation! She was reliable, caring, and made us feel completely at ease being away. I especially appreciated the sweet photo updates she sent, they really showed how comfortable and happy Utley was with her. We will absolutely book her again. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own who I’ve cared for since they were puppies. I also have experience helping friends by walking and sitting for their dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable who treats pets like family. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat your dog the same way I do my own — with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I already build my days around caring for my two dogs, so adding pet sitting and walks fits naturally into my routine. Every morning and evening, I take them out for walks, playtime, and meals, and I love spending time outdoors with them. I also have flexibility in my schedule to stop in for drop-in visits, go on longer walks, or provide extra attention when pets need it. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, it’s easy for me to extend that same care to your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in following their established routines as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite playtime activities. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I would make sure they’re not only cared for but also feel loved and relaxed until their family returns.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
