“Malissa was amazing with my cat, Frankie. He was a little scared at first, but quickly warmed up to her. Malissa did such a fantastic job looking after Frankie that I'll be booking her again soon. I highly recommend her.”
“Sara was the absolute best to work with. She came by the day prior for a meet & greet, very punctual, sent lots of pictures & reassured me that she would love him like we do. This was our first time using Rover & we went with Sara based on her reviews and we are so very thankful we did! Will definitely recommend and will be a returning client. She is an absolute dream to leave in our home with our “second child”.”

About: I grew up with a variety of pets rabbits, birds, fish & a tortosie. As an adult I owned kitties who both unfortunately passed from cancer. We also have 3 dogs- 11.5y bloodhound mix, 5y bloodhound & a 2y German Shepherd. I am willing to help teach your dog basic skills during our time together if you would like. Prior to moving to TN in 2024 my dogs and I were part of a wonderful Search and Rescue team. I enjoy nearly all outdoors activities. My bloodhound and I have run many races together so far from 5k's- half marathons. Our GSD tags along on our runs also but has yet to complete a race. We also enjoy lots of hiking, swimming and checking out new Sniff Spots around our area when we want to switch it up. I currently work from home full time M-F typically 8a-430p however I do have flexibility in my schedule so don't hesitate to reach out! During the week I get up about 445a to feed my pups. Take our Bloodhound & German Shepherd for their run or walk & since my neighborhood isn't particularly running friendly we go somewhere to get our miles in, yes it is dark but typically where we go is lit, I have a headlight & they have their light up gear. Then after I am done with them I come home and switch dogs to take our senior girl for her walk, she maybe a senior but she LOVES her morning miles. They usually eat about 3-345p and when I am off work we usually work on obedience around the neighborhood or I recently purchased some agility equipment so we may work on that. Let me know what your needs are and I can accommodate that. For safety reasons for my own pets I am not currently offering pet care at my home but I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet. I have found that often times they are more comfortable in their own home. Depending on my husband schedule I may be able to offer overnight house sitting, just ask. For dog walks I am happy to walk in your neighborhood if it is safe to do so or at a little extra cost I am able to transport them to a hiking trail, walking trail or other area to walk. For dog safety I have 3 large Ruffland crates in my car that my dogs use & I would keep your pet safe in the vehicle by using them unless your pet is too big for them.

About: Hiiii and hellooo, to my fellowwww pet lovers! My name is Megyn. I’m an East Tennessee native in my early 30s, and since I was born I have always had animals in my home- and usually a couple outside too! I’m most comfortable with cats, dogs, and poultry but I also have experience caring for fish, livestock, reptiles, and rodents and I’m absolutely open to learning anything new for you. I’ve worked with animals who have needed assisted accommodations including those who were blind, deaf, high energy, senior, and those with ptsd. I started pet sitting in middle school- 20 years ago, and ever since I’ve been the go-to person for my friends and family, and subsequently their friends and family. 6 years ago I began house and pet sitting more widely using a different platform to use pet sitting as a means to traveling; those reviews are below. A recent change to my availability has given me the opportunity to try out offering my services on Rover. Thank you for taking your time to learn a little about me, please feel free to check my calendar for availability and message me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones. —— Sarah Chattanooga, TN 20 Feb - 23 Feb 2020 Megan and her partner were excellent pet sitters. They took care of my home, and I came home to a happy dog! They were also communicative and reliable. Would love to host them again! Megan New Durham, NH 01 Jul - 05 Jul 2021 Megan and Abby were excellent house and pet sitters! From our first conversation to our last, they were kind, polite, thoughtful, organized and dependable. I felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care, and they did a great job when they came. We have a dog, cats, bunnies, chickens, ducks, baby turkeys and rabbits, and all of the animals were clean, well fed, and happy upon our return. Megan and Abby gave us updates while we were away, and it was clear they really cared and took their responsibilities seriously - our dog was very sad to see them go! They also took wonderful care of our house, and it was clean and orderly when we came home. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with our experience, thanks so much Megan and Abby!! Best of luck on your next adventure! Emily Roanoke, VA 17 Sep - 19 Sep 2021 Megan was a great house and pet sitter for our two dogs. She was very easy to communicate with and to make plans with. She updated me throughout the weekend to let me know how the dogs were doing. One of our dogs had gotten sick a few days before she arrived so she took special care to keep a close eye on him and make sure he was doing okay which I really appreciated. The house was also spotless when we got home and the dogs seemed very content and happy so I could tell they had been well cared for. I would welcome Megan back any time and definitely recommend her for your sitting needs! 22 Nov - 25 Nov 2023 This is the second time Megan has sat for us, and we were thrilled to have her back with Abby for another visit! Megan is so responsive and easy to coordinate plans with. We were so glad they were able to stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday and take great care of our two dogs while we were with family. They kept us updated every day and the dogs seemed very happy and content when we got home so I could tell they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We would definitely welcome Megan and Abby back and would highly recommend them as sitters! Allison Asheville, NC 16 Apr - 17 Apr 2022 Cat and cat mom approved- tikki loved these two and in pretty sure my apartment was cleaner than I left it. Megyn and Abby were stellar communicators with a great attitude. They were friendly and helpful right from the start. They were respectful and caring. Would recommend to anyone. Victoria Washington, D.C., Washington, D.C. 29 Apr - 01 May 2022 Megyn and Abby were fantastic pet sitters, and they took beautiful care of my dog, my cat, and my home. They were responsive communicators and conscientious house guests. I would partner with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Megyn and Abby! Sarah Atlanta, GA 24 Feb - 26 Feb 2023 FIVE STARS! Easy! What an awesome experience! Yes, you should invite/confirm/welcome Megyn and Abby to your home right away! Megyn and Abby were both so communicative and kind. They took excellent care of our pets and our home and were a delight to coordinate with. They made our get-away so full of ease. Friendly, timely, communicative, clean, caring, organized. What more could you ask for? We would definitely have them come and sit again any time they're in the area Julie Greenville, SC 24 Mar - 26 Mar 2023 Returned home to two happy, well-loved pets and a tidy home. What more can you ask for! Kira Pittsburgh, PA 03 Nov - 06 Nov 2023 They were excellent communicators leading up to the sit and took great care of Tonks and our house while we were away! They also were flexible and I highly recommend them to anyone. Laurie Asheville, NC 26 Jan - 28 Jan 2024 Megyn and Abby took great care of my pups. Leaving 5 dogs with anyone is a bit nerve wracking as I know that's a handful but they seemed to do fine. They were also very accommodating as they arrived early Friday morning before I left so they could meet the dogs and were able to stay a little longer when I found I was going to arrive home later than I had planned. I would have them both visit again. Lysa Johnson City, TN 29 Apr - 30 Apr 2024 They were both excellent house sitters and extremely reliable. Sent pictures and updated us which gave us piece of mind. Highly recommend! AAA+++!!! Alice Banner Elk, NC 03 May - 05 May 2024 Megan was fantastic! She and Abby gave us updates with pictures. I knew Humphrey and Peanut were in excellent hands. I hate to give them fantastic review for fear they will get booked up! You will be fortunate to have them sit in your home. House was cleaner than we had left it. Wonderful, wonderful sitters!! 08 Nov - 10 Nov 2024 Megan and Abby are delightful. They kept me informed about everything that was happening. We would love to have them sit for us again. Maranda Character reference I have known Megan for ll years now throughout the years she has owned / taken care of many animals. She is a very trustworthy and reliable person, I have even trusted her in watching my twin boys on numerous occasions. One of her best qualities is her integrity, for she puts others needs before her own. Damien Character reference Megan Liuni worked under me at Sonic Drive In and was my "right hand" for many years, and was always my good to person for anything, both inside and outside of work. She was my top performing manager and met every deadline that was given to her; inventory counts, scheduling needs, and time goals, ect. As a General Manager I have meetings and conferences along with vacations that have me out of town and Megan is the person I contact. I allowe her to stay in my home and in return she takes care of my two dogs, (German Shepard and Australian Shepard) Cleans the house, and alerts me of any thing that I need to know of. I have never felt like I had a need to lock up or hide any of my possessions because Megan really is the most trustworthy and reliable person I know. I have given her a key of her own to keep in case of any emergency. She lived with me at one point as well and she was always early with payments and most of the time I didn't even know she was there. Kourtnea Character reference I've known Megyn for about 7 years now. I met her at a job and we've been friends ever since! She is one of the most caring, genuine, and sweetest girls I know. She has helped me out a lot over the years including house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting! My house was always in order and I always trust my home is in great hands while away. I have several animals and they are fat and happy when I'm greeted each time. I have a now 7 year old whom Megyn has been around since my daughters Ist year and has watched her several times for me throughout her life. My daughter loves her and they always have fun. Megyn is a sweetheart and always willing to help someone in need and motivated to get whatever job that needs to be done, done! Highly recommend Megyn for any jobs you may need big or small I’m currently only working part time on some evenings, so I have plenty of open availability to be able to assist you whether it’s just a one time need or reoccurring! I help curate a complete guide to make sure that I have everything I need prior to a sit and maintain a mindset of the highest priority when it comes to someone else’s animals
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs for over 5 years. I usually dog sit for family and friends, but am a dog lover and wanted to branch out on Rover:) I’m currently working part time at a daycare so I will be able to have time to play with your pups, take them on long walks, and give them that enrichment they need! I go to the clients home and do as I am told! I believe that safety and trust are the top priorities for the dog and myself.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).
“Natasha is great! She is really good with our girl. She takes her out to the backyard. She even walks her around and plays with her too. She has cleaned up any dog messes. She has overall been really awesome! I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colonial Heights
Alexa is a very kind person. It shows as she was genuinely gentle approaching Lucy and Denny Hamlin for the first time. It was love at first sight lol. Alexa is really great organizing toys and keeping kennels clean. She is very polite and I would enjoy having her back to help me with Lucy and Denny Hamlin again!
Kevin was AMAZING with my pups. I went on Rover last minute and he responded without hesitation. He took the task of taking on my pups between an already busy schedule and he did NOT disappoint. From the updates to the photos, I feel at ease knowing my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Kevin again and will refer him to everyone whoever needs a great dog care-taker.

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.
