About: We have both had dogs almost all of our lives. We have experience with puppies, young dogs, middle aged dogs and seniors. Having recently lost our last one (a Malti-Tzu) at the age of 15, we have even more senior experience, including injections, picky eaters, giving meds (pills, drops, foams, sprays, etc). One of us is almost always home, so your dog/s will usually have someone there giving them love and attention. We live in a quiet neighborhood with good sidewalks to get some good sniffs and walks in too. Working from home gives us plenty of time with your dog. Occasionally we will need to go run errands or to an appointment, so your dog would not be alone long, if that happens to overlap. We get up somewhat early, between 6-7:30 am, and can walk your dog/s then, and as needed throughout the day, along with a longer daily walk if your pup needs it, and then an evening walk around 8:00 pm, or whatever your dogs needs are. We like to tailor our care to your dog’s needs, be it more active and wanting more play time and walks, or more downtime and cuddles. We have dog beds, dog bowls, and general dog supplies, and just enjoy being with them and making them happy…and maybe even a little spoiling :)
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home since I was a young child and I’m very comfortable taking care of multiple at a time! My family and I fostered around 8 dachshunds over the span of about 6 years, sometimes totaling 4 dogs in the house at a time. I’ve handled all ages from young puppies to elderly and disabled pups. I’m very familiar with teaching basic commands: “sit”, “stay”, “ok/release”, “come”, “down”, “drop it”, and “go to your place”. I am currently working a full time job, but I would really love to be there for your pet in the evenings and on the weekends. Whether you’re working late and need someone to let them out, or want to go on a weekend trip and have peace of mind that your pup is happy and healthy :) Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I am here to provide reliable care and respect your routines.
“Marby was on time, communicated throughout the visit, followed detailed instructions, and figured out how to feed my finicky pug when he wouldn’t eat. I’ll be working with her again.”
“Courtney is the best! She noticed that my cat wasn’t acting his normal self, and she was right; he was hospitalized the day I came home and is now fully recovered:) Thank you Courtney for being so attentive!”
“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
About: I love animals and have been taking care of pets all my life. In addition to caring for my own dog, I regularly care for the pets of my friends and family when they are away. Feeding, walking, playing with dogs and cats brings me joy, and I would love to become your pet's new best friend too! I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs like my own old pup. Whether it is exercise they need chasing a ball at the dog park or belly rubs and cuddles, I am excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I am available for pet walks, drop-ins, and petsitting every weekday Monday through Friday from 9am to 3:30pm either at your home or my own. I am happy to come to your home to pick up your pet for a walk or to drive your pet to the dog park. I can also play with your pet in your home and do any feeding or medicine administering needed.
“Finn was awesome in caring for our outdoor cats and fish! Super accommodating to many details I failed to mention initially and very responsive to messages. I would definitely book again! Thanks, Finn!”
About: I've been watching dogs, cats, birds, and scaly pet friends for over 10 years on Rover and otherwise. I have experience with elderly dogs and puppies, senior cats and kittens, you name it, I've probably seen it! I have traveled across the country while sitting for someone, no job is too big or small. If you're interested in any of my services I can provide references and information at any time, give me a call or shoot a text. I look forward to meeting you and your little sidekick! Currently working full time as a pet sitter. I'm very familiar with pets who need an extra special eye on their diets, walking routines and habits, and playtime. Walking during the summer can be hard on you and your pet, if your little companion needs a specially timed walk to avoid the brutal sun then I'm flexible and willing to learn their ways! If your pet has robust dietary needs or maybe you just like feeding them extra heartily and putting time and care into their diets then I'm no stranger to that!
About: I’m a dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends through house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and feeding schedules. I previously owned a beautiful Belgian Shepherd named Izzy, who was my adventure buddy for many years. After recently losing her, I’ve found a lot of joy in spending time with and caring for other people’s furry companions. I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to stop by for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, overnight care, or someone to check in and make sure they’re comfortable, I’m happy to help. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to help give you peace of mind while also giving your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family members while earning a little extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm available to stay overnight at your home Fridays - Tuesday evenings. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available to drop in during the workday to provide any walks or potty breaks that are needed. I'm unavailable to pet sit, walk, or do drop-ins on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can spend the night at your home to help ensure your furry companion doesn't experience separation anxiety. I've spent time walking dogs of all sizes, and I make sure to learn any triggers your animals may have before taking them on walks. I'll send photos of your animals while you're away to help you feel at peace and enjoy your vacation or work trip!
“Issis is always professional and the smile on my guys face when she sends rover cards makes me a little jealous ;)- Always a pleasure to work with her, I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your fur baby or have someone walk them if life gets a little busy!”
About: Whenever friends or family members need a pet sitter they can always count on me. I have a big back yard for them to get their exercise. I have two dogs of my own and they are always happy to have friends over. I work 5 mins away from home. I come home twice a day to check on my girls. My 20 year old daughter will also be home when she’s not in school. I have a big fenced back yard. There are always plenty of toys and also a crate if needed. My two dogs are super friendly and welcoming.
About: I have been taking care of and loving pets for about 8 years. Through either having my own pet or taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets. I have handled almost every type of animal (Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Birds, Fish, Turtles, etc). I have done very aggressive cats along with sweet loving cats and for dogs, I have handled big dogs (150lbs), small dogs (8-12lbs), and everything in between. I have taken care of very few senior dogs/cats. I also haven't done much medication (other than pills) but I am very open to and eager to learn medication. I am currently an 19 year who is a part time student in college. I also do have a "real job" (part time) as-well but I will definitely work with you and around my schedule for your animals to make sure they are well taken care of. I joined Rover because I love caring for animals and I would also like the opportunity to make new friends along with making a little extra money to help pay for my college tuition. I am willing to work around your animals needs and change my schedule so that your pets get the love and attention they deserve. I am a very good listener and I will take care of your pet exactly how you tell me to. I will make sure they are well fed and loved while they are in my control. I will make sure they get any medicine they need, cleaned up after, walked, fed, watered, and whatever else is needed. I will keep in contact with you while you are gone sending you photo updates of your pet as-well so that way you know your pet is happy and healthy. 😊
“We love Gabby! This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure to know that Gabby was taking care of our two cats while out of town. Gabby is so sweet and caring and 100% reliable. My husband and I trust her completely and feel our babies our being loved whilst away. We’ll absolutely use her services again!!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years and currently care for my own senior Corgi, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I also regularly care for friends’ pets, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions. I understand that senior dogs may need a little extra care, patience, and attention, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I work a full-time 9–5 job in Long Beach, but I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I stop by home during my lunch break to take care of my own dog, which gives me the opportunity to also provide a midday walk, potty break, or check-in for your pet. I’m also available for quick visits after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need while you’re away! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walking routines, and any specific safety needs. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised, and the home is left clean and as I found it. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment.
“Lupe was so amazing with my doggy! She was able to accommodate to my schedule and she kept me updated with pictures and messages of my pup! When I arrived back home my pup was very relaxed and happy! I would definitely use Lupe again in a heartbeat! Thank you so so much for making this crazy dog mom happy”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. Our family recently said goodbye to our sweet, beautiful 10-year-old English Bulldog, and while we miss her every day, we have so much love left to give. Caring for other pups brings us joy, and we'd be honored to provide your pup with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention, and a safe, loving environment while you're away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. Whether your furry family member loves long walks, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work from home with a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to drop in and care for your furry friend whenever needed. I’m happy to discuss what works best to meet your pet’s unique needs. My home offers a safe, fenced yard with both grass and concrete for play, zoomies, or simply lounging in the sun or shade. Inside, pets can relax in two separate living areas with comfy sofas, giving them plenty of space to feel at home. For drop-ins, I’m flexible. Your furry friend will be cared for in a secure, comfortable environment
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I truly love all dogs. I have a lot of respect and compassion for these beautiful beings. Dogs are very unique and amazing creatures, I find it cute that they have their own personalities. And I have years of experience walking, feeding, playing and caregiving Dogs. I have lots of patience growing up with a lot of animals and working with kids. I’ll make sure I’m your pets home away from home, I will make sure they are comfortable and loved. I will follow yours instructions carefully. And I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind when you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule I take classes online. So I have plenty of time to give your precious dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, keeping them company, giving them affection. I’ll make sure there are safe at all times. Your dogs safety and comfort is my top priority. I have a fenced yard in a safe community. I live near the beach and I love to go on walks with my fur babies and do fun activities. I have two little friendly dogs who love to play. I have a Frenchie puppy and a Toy poodle that is 3 years old. Your pet will be supervised and introduced slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. But if you don’t feel comfortable I have multiple fenced yards but your pup is my top priority
About: I've grown up fostering puppies and eventually taking care of three family dogs. Additionally, I've volunteered for a cat rescue group known as 'Cats In Need.' Aiding in adoption days, active enrichment, flea removal treatments and of course loving affection. I provided basic needs such as food, water, and cleanliness. I'm currently a full-time college student with great availability! Pet care is just like second nature to me as I grew up with three dogs, and even own a crested gecko. I'm an early riser, love to be active and fit, love to be around nature and stay cozy inside. My busiest days are Tuesday and Thursday, only one lecture on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the rest of the week is completely free. I am in a fairly well sized studio apartment with a gated area of grass! Currently my only pet is a crested gecko who is in a terrarium and does not make too much noise nor poses a concern. Clients are free to sleep on my bed, and get the utmost affection from me. Staying actively enriched is important, so many toys, simple training, and walks are provided!
“Gabby was very communicative and reliable, sent lots of adorable photos of our cats, and even gave us a suggestion for a dietary supplement for our senior cat (she has a cat with similar health problems). She came to meet our cats before our trip as well, which helped us feel comfortable with having a new person feed them. She was great and we would definitely book her again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cota
Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.
Lincoln was very responsive, respectful, and thoughtful, and he asked great questions to make sure Myra was comfortable and well cared for. Myra absolutely loved spending time with him, and I had complete peace of mind leaving her in his care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Lincoln again and would highly recommend him to any pet owner!
Tara is the best cat sitter we have ever had. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are cared for well. She is so sweet, kind, and caring. I cannot say enough great things about Tara. She saved our vacation when another sitter had to back out after we had left. I’m eternally grateful! Tara is amazing!!
Sarah is magic!! She provided so many pictures and videos while we were away, even showing that one of our feisty cats trusted her and took treats straight from her hands (huge good sign in our world). We have never felt our cats to be at so much peace and calm upon returning from a trip, we hope Sarah can watch them any time we have to leave in the future!
Madison was fantastic with our dog! We hired her last minute before leaving for a week long trip. She put our minds at the meet and greet with her mother. She came by twice a day to walk LT, feed him, make sure he had fresh water, and give him the attention he needed while we were away. Madison was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about LT's well being. It was a relief knowing he was looked after by someone we could trust. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that's the best review we can give. We wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Teah was great from the start. She came and met my bay girl Buttercup before we booked, to make sure she (buttercup) felt comfortable with her. Immediately, Buttercup started to get close to Teah and felt comfortable around her. Teah also sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away. I will definitely book again in future trips, if she’s available.

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.
