“Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! We adore her. Teddy, our golden doodle puppy, was quite a handful at 4 months old when she started with us. He loved her from the start and she has been so patient with all of his puppy antics and sharp little teeth! It has given us so much peace of mind to have her caring as much about our little guy as we do. Wait until you hear about her foster work at home as well! She is just an all-around great person and animal lover. 6 out of 5 stars! We highly recommend!!!”
“Wow- Lauren was amazing with our tuxedo cat, Neko. She checked on him twice per day , fed him, played with him and petted him. Her communication was excellent and she sent pictures every visit! We are very thankful for her top notch care, will use her again and we highly recommend her to others!! THANKS AGAIN, Lauren!!”
“Wonderful experience. Andrea is very professional, a great communicator, punctual, honest, responsive, and handled my anxious dog very well. I highly recommend her drop in services.”
About: I have cared for dogs personally for the majority of my life. I also gained professional experience working at a doggie daycare where I got to play and cuddle with a variety of dogs! At the doggie daycare, I learned some helpful methods on how to handle and evaluate a dog’s temperament for a group setting. I’m currently working part-time and am available on the weekends from 12 pm till 11 pm! Due to having classes during the week, my best time to work is the weekends. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and live just down the hill from a dog park. My roommate also has a dog to keep yours company!
About: I have done on and off sitting since childhood, predominantly medium and big dogs as well as cats, however all are welcome! I can administer medicine with food, and take special time playing or cuddling your sweet baby! I have a very open schedule! Any requirements I have outside of taking care of your best friend I am able to do virtually and at any time of day, so it won't prevent me from the care they deserve. I can keep a close eye on your pet(s), and I'll make sure to play with them so they don't feel restless. I try to show up with as much love and care I am physically capable of. I've always been drawn to animals, (even more than humans sometimes lol) so believe me when I say that my top priority is making sure your pet(s) are happy and healthy with me!
About: I have had 5 dogs throughout my life, and have been the primary caregiver for them. My most recent dogs have lived to be 15&16 years old, so I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. When I am not working on the weekend as a nurse, I work at home doing school work for my masters program. I love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they have plenty of attention. Dog owners will not have to worry about their dogs when they're away, I will treat your pet just like a family member. Their will be loved, pet, and given exceptional care, love and affection with my services. I will also do small chores around the house if needed (ex: dishes, sweepings, and vacuuming). I currently work on Saturday and Sunday as a staff nurse at the local children’s hospital, and during the week I do school work for a Masters program at Vanderbilt. I do my school work at home, so I can travel to your pet and spend time with them during the week while you’re at work. I’ve managed several dogs throughout the years and can provide medications, crate them, give them food and water, and play with them until their hearts content!
About: I offer experienced, loving care tailored to each dog's needs. I specialize in dog walking and being sure your dog gets plenty of love. Daily updates with photos included! I am a college student and working part time. On Fridays I have plenty of time to play and walk your dogs any time after 3. And I am available all day on the weekends! I follow your instructions precisely for feeding and exercise. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I keep the home clean and provide lots of love and attention to keep your pets happy!
“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
About: Hello pet owners and families! Dog and cat lover here who will put in the effort to build trust with your pets, and provide the good care they deserve!!! I have plenty of exp with various breeds and sizes of dogs. Even before Rover I frequently house and dogsat for a friend with a sweetie black retriever and young dachshund. My former roommate of 4 years has an Australian cattle dog and I would often take care of him when she was out of town. Plenty of experience taking care of cats as well. I have one cat named Phoebe who has been with me for 8 years. Thankfully she has other caretakers for the days when I am Rover sitting, but I will still go check on her once a day. I know what it’s like to be nervous about leaving your babies, and I would love to help! I am working part time in healthcare Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I am still available for morning, lunchtime, evening and overnight care on those days. On my off days I will be dedicated to your babies and weather permitting would enjoy getting outside with them too! I am happy to care for them in your home where they feel most comfortable! I am unable to house any additional pets in my home at this time
About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!
“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”
“I feel so fortunate that I chose Stephanie to check in on my sweet 10 week old Frenchie. She is reliable sweet and wonderful to Jax! She provides great photos and feedback of each visit and allows me to work guilt free. Stephanie takes the time to ask if there’s any thing specific that day he needs and fits in time to teach him tricks. Her love of animals is a parent and if you are scrolling through and thinking about who you want with your beloved fur baby, choose Stephanie!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Claxton
Courtney did an excellent job taking care of our cats! They usually hide and don't eat much while we're gone, but they always greeted her at the door and ate really well! I could tell they were comfortable with her right off the bat. She kept us updated well throughout the weekend, and I'll definitely be using her services again
Reliable, kind, gentle, loving and wonderful! The dogs (and ducks) were in great hands! Shared updates and pictures so I could see how comfortable and confident my dogs were with her. It can be hard to find someone to trust with your pets and Rebecca is an absolute gem.
Terrigan was very communicative during the process. She took great care of our 12 year boxer/pit boy, Kodi! She has been our best sitter we have had. She respected our home and my many sticky notes and went above and beyond to show Kodi love while we were away. We would love to have Terrigan care for our pets moving forward!

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.
