About: I have dog sat for friends and family and I have had pets my whole life! My main priority is making sure they are loved and well cared for. I’m attentive, patient, great at following pet routines, and will treat your pets like my own! I’m currently trying to make this my full time job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and will typically be available any day throughout the week! I live in a townhome and have 1 cat at home. I’m not sure how she would be around other animals but I would be happy to provide care directly in your home!
About: Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and are my biggest special interest. I grew up taking care of a multitude of different pets including cats, dogs, and birds…I love them all! I make sure to stay up to date with new pet care and training ideas. I believe in using positive reinforcement to build strong and healthy relationships with our pets and have taken courses in dog body language and have familiarized myself with Canine and Feline CPR and heimlich maneuver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I generally work in shifts of 4-5 hours so the longest your pet will ever need to be left by themselves is 5 1/2 hours My husband is a student and the university and can also help take care of pets if needed/wanted. I have a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who would love to keep your dog company if wanted otherwise I’m happy to visit your dog by myself. I can crate train or let your dog free roam, whichever you are most comfortable with
About: I am a lover of all animals! I have taken care of animals in a variety of settings since I was a teenager. From my own pet rabbit and cat to neighbors dogs, I have worked with a variety of different animals including walking, sitting, and feeding them. I spent the last few summers taking dogs on hikes every morning and ensuring their safety and proper care in the process. I recently graduated from USU with a degree in Equine Science and Management and am currently training three adorable baby horses. I would love to help you out by providing exceptional care for your pets as well! I am currently working a few hours a day training horses with a very flexible schedule so I am available to help with your pets any day of the week when it’s most convenient for you I can come to your home and take care of any service your pets may need, feeding, walking, sitting, etc. I'm happy to help however I can.
About: I've taken care of friends' and coworkers' dogs and rabbit, in addition to house sitting. I own a cat myself named Josh, and I've had him for about 14 years. I have volunteered periodically at the Cache Humane Society during my time at USU. I currently work part-time, but I'm free before 9am and after 4pm during the weekdays and with enough notice, the weekends are flexible! I will follow any instructions you have and adjust if needed. Make sure that exit points are closed and attentive of any behavior changes to share.
About: I have cared for many types of pets-friends refer to my house as "the zoo" 🤣 I have fostered dogs ranging from puppies to seniors with heartworm. I am a clean freak who will shower your baby(s) with love while you're away 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I am a substitute teacher so, with notice, I have very flexible availability to care for your baby(s). I can be available 24/7 as a pet care professional in your home 💛 I am a clean, respectful person who will ensure both your pet(s) & your home are cared for as if they were my own 🤩
About: Hi, I'm Owen! I've been around dogs my whole life, and walking them is genuinely my favorite part of the day. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Cache Humane Society, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to big and bouncy. I take the job seriously: I show up on time, follow your instructions exactly, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on your pup the whole walk. You'll get photos and a quick update every time, so you're never left wondering. Your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I'm a student taking mostly online classes, so I'm home for most of the day and can easily work walks, feedings and potty breaks around my schedule. I'm flexible on weekdays and generally available on weekends too. I'll keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I follow your feeding, walking and medication instructions exactly, keep dogs on-leash outside, and send photo updates every day. I'll make sure doors and gates stay closed, and I know where the nearest emergency vet is. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll keep it clean and secure.
“Debbie is the greatest! Our new dog who is scared of everything warmed right up to her! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our girls were well taken care of.”

About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and caged animals since I was 12 years old. I have experience working with large dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I was a maid for several years, and so I have experience interacting with pets in others homes as well as my own. I regularly bathed my own dog, Xena, and am comfortable bathing other dogs as well. I adore dogs and animals of all kinds, and your dog will receive loving and responsible care under my supervision. I'm a full time student at USU working on my geology undergrad degree. My busiest day is Wednesday, where I'm usually on campus from 9:30 until 5:30. However, I have several hour long breaks in my schedule. If you live within 20 minutes of campus, I'm happy to use those breaks to come look in or/walk your pet then! I have lots of experience with and patience with animals, as I grew up with several crotchety old cats and lots of neighborhood dogs who I loved very much. I was always the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and still care for my boyfriend's parents large dogs when they're out of town. Daily playtime is a must, preferably several times a day if your critter is up for it. I'm an excellent fur baby snuggler as well, if your pet is more lap-time aligned than active.
“Ellie was great with our two cats while we were out of town. We were so appreciative that she was willing to check in on them during the holidays. Our cats were in good hands, and we're grateful for Ellie's awesome help!”

About: I've done dog sitting before, currently I have a dog and have had a dog and cat in the past. My dog has been through training so I'm very good with positive reinforcement! I work for doordash so my schedule is extremely flexible. Especially in evenings if you want a night out, or if you need someone to watch your pet over the night. I will be able to control both schedules and spend plenty of time with your pets. I have a dog, and and love her more than anything in the world.

I currently train my Belgian Malinois for PSA, which is a competitive sport that is part obedience part protection. My husband and I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, and they are such a big part of our lives! I have experience administering medications both oral and topical, and overall can read dog body language very well. I am currently not working full time, so I am home most of the day! I’m a pet portrait and wildlife artist so I spend my time painting and promoting my business in that way, which means I am extremely flexible. We rent in the end unit of a townhome currently, so we don’t have a full yard, but live by plenty of trails and parks that I take my own dogs on! Your dogs will always be leashed and secure with me. They get plenty of downtime and i have cameras to supervise them when I’m not home!
“Camille was amazing with our dog today. She went out of her way to make sure he was well looked after and made sure we knew how he was all day. She has such a loving and kind personality and we won’t hesitate to have her take care of him again.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Ward
Lainey is a great cat sitter! She is very knowledgable and always dependable. Our cat has a lot of special needs and Lainey is always up for the challenge. She sends accurate and reliable check-ins and feedback. We just scheduled our 4th booking and plan many more visits in the future!
I was really worried about my cats being alone while I was getting married and on my honeymoon out of town. Kati came over to meet my cats a few days before we left and allowed me to show her around and how to care for them. She did a wonderful job taking care of them. One of my cats is very skittish and doesn’t do well with new people. Every visit she included a picture of them which helped put my anxiety at ease while so far away, My skittish cat was clearly comfortable with her even coming out to play and get groomed. She even cut their nails and brushed them for me. Kati was a wonderful pet sitter, I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely use her again.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
