“Dena is great! One of our dogs ended up on a couple medications due to a leg injury and Dena was more than happy to give them to her twice a day. She left detailed messages on how the dogs were doing after each visit. She also included some fun pictures of them. We could tell they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you, Dena!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I previously worked with Wag and have walked 100+ dogs, giving me experience with everything from energetic pups to shy or nervous dogs. I’ve also had my own dog, Chewy, for 7 years, and he’s truly my best friend and travel buddy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, comfortable with different routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs and actively job searching, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I have my own dog, Chewy, who I’ve cared for for 7 years, and taking care of him is a big part of my daily routine. We typically walk about 3 miles a day, and I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their individual routine and their owner’s instructions. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and giving pets plenty of affection and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and tidy while making sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well while they’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling, and making sure they are incredibly well taken care of. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience caring for friends' dogs, cats, and birds. Why Choose Me: Highly Experienced: Lifelong pet owner who understands animal behavior and needs. Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).

About: I grew up with a menagerie of animals, including lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I spent many years fostering dogs and volunteering with dog adoptions for the ASPCA. While I’m new to Rover, my friends and family have counted on me for years to dog sit, train, dog walk, etc. their furry family members. I am very active and your pup will get long morning walks, hikes, and lots of exercise! I have a large fenced in yard as well. Animals bring me so much joy, and I couldn't imagine a life without them :) I have one dog who has a moderate activity level. Every morning we take a long (at least an hour) walk before I leave for work. I currently work Monday-Thursday but am available to pop home for potty breaks if your dog is boarded with me. Friday-Sunday I am around at home and take dogs with me for walks or hikes on those days. If your dog is a couch potato, that works too :) I have a warm and welcoming dog-friendly home. They'll find lots of stuffies and soft & cozy places to land. Your dog will get lots of pets and cuddles but I also give them space to rest and get settled in. My dog loves to play with other dogs and I have a large fenced in yard as well for playtime!

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: I have cared, worked and trained with countless dogs over the last six years, loving every single minute of it. Early in my journey, a mentor shared a piece of wisdom that forever shaped my philosophy: "An animal trained with a focus on compliance through force or fear will always run into something or someone that creates more fear than you can match. But if you train based on a relationship of fair boundaries, kindness, and reliability, something incredible happens. When that dog runs into a terrifying situation, they won't run away. They will run to you because you are their safety and their home." - Terra Ruiz. This is the foundation of everything I do. I grew up surrounded by multiple Standard Poodles and later spent time working with horses, which deeply shaped my understanding of animal behavior and the subtle dynamics of pressure-and-release. More recently I've volunteered and worked along side sertch and rescue K9 handlers continuing my learning. My goal is to help you have the best care possible for your pet and build and keep an unshakeable bond with your pet, rooted in mutual trust rather than constant micromanagement. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, from early morning visits and midday walks to evening check-ins and extended stays. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine to provide consistent, dependable care when you need it most! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my priorities. With six years of professional animal care and training experience, I’m attentive to body language, safe handling, and each pet’s individual needs. I follow your care instructions, respect your home and your pet’s boundaries, and provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis!💞☺️👋🏼 I have always loved and had a connection with all types of animals and joined Rover in the summer of 2022 to fill some of my time, I took a short break but now am back to sitting in CoeurdAlene, Idaho to fill some of my free time!☺️🐾 Before I found out I didn’t quite have the stomach for it and actually explored the career, I always wanted to be a veterinarian so I could get to work with animals! Since I couldn’t handle the messy medical parts now I love to sit + walk the fur-babies, take them to the park, and give lots of snuggles + treats!🥰 I’ve took care of pets since I was little and our animals had multiple litters of puppies and kittens as well so I’ve got to take care of little fur babies too along with the experience I’ve gained through Rover❤️ My mom and I ran a pet sitting page through Thumbtack in 2014 for a few years that was super similar to Rover and we were voted a top sitter under ItsRainingCats&Dogs<3 I love getting to feel like I’m helping a family and pet stay close while they are apart, while I’ve done pet sitting I’ve worked with elderly, blind, deaf, and other disabilities that needed help with some extra things.❤️ I like to make sure the animal always feels as comfortable as it can if staying in my home so let me know any special needs and I will always send pictures!😊 I’ve also given medications before if your animal needs to take them while being watched just as long as it’s pills or oral, I’ve never administered a shot.❤️ I have a small lab retriever mix who is full of energy when he wants to be and has never not wanted to introduce himself to the others, he is about 20 lbs and going on 8!😊🐾 He also LOVES to get out of the house and go on car rides + swimming so as long as it’s okay with you and your pet wants to, they can come on the adventures as well!🥰 I’m currently finishing some school online and work on jewelry for my Etsy shop in the daytime so I am almost always home during the week and usually just run quick errands throughout the weekends so I’ll always be back to check on the pets if I go anywhere as long as they work well being left alone, if not can make arrangements☺️ I have a large grassy field I let them use the bathroom every 1 -2 hours and always watch over them while they eat just in case anything were to happen. If you’re furbaby gives you a hard time in the bath or you’ve noticed they’ve been getting a little stinky, I don’t mind sitting in there with them and getting wet. If they get anxiety from baths I can bring treats and help them stay calm.❤️ We have some oatmeal soap for dry + sensitive skin and soft bristle brushes as well as nail clippers if you notice they need theirs done I have been clipping my dogs for a long time😊 I love to get outside myself so if your dog likes to go to the dog park or on walks we’ll be besties🥰🐾 Me and Winston go swimming often as well in the warmer months! I always will supervise feeding times or manage if pets need to eat separately, I let the babies out and pick up if the owner wants me to keep the yard clean, watch to make sure no doors or rooms that are supposed to be kept shut are left open, make sure crates/kennels are secured 100% when leaving, I always will put a leash on when going anywhere with a pet and bring water if it’s hot outside to keep the babies cooled down🫶🏼

I have been a personal dog owner for about as long as i can remember (lets say since I was 10). I love having a fur baby to walk, play with, and care for.

“Lori cared for my much-loved kitties, Blanca and Gizmo, for two weeks while I was on vacation. My kitties became comfortable with Lori during our meet & greet and I was thoroughly impressed. They are sweet kitties but usually a bit skittish around new humans, except Lori. Lori did a combination of drop-ins and overnights. She sent me updates and pictures on a daily basis, so I k new they were happy and well-cared for. I would highly recommend Lori; she is a kind and thoughtful person and was amazing with my kitties.”

About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱

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.
