“Lacey was wonderful with my cat. I was so worried about leaving her for the first time. She put me at ease immediately. I will be using her whenever I have to leave her at home. Elphie loved her 😻”
“Jeffrey was great with Keno. He was able to do drop ins last minute for the holiday weekend. Super reliable and communicated great throughout the stay. We would definitely book again with Jeffrey.”
“Summer communicated well of when she would be there, what the dogs did, and how they were. I was nervous as my dogs are never left alone and she did great with keeping me informed during her check ins.”
“They were awesome! Our poor dog was stressed out over the 4th of July holiday and they went above and beyond to make continuous check ins to ensure our pup was doing good. Would recommend 10/10 times.”
About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!
“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. One of them was having some skin issues requiring extra care and attention, and she handled that without issue. Her Rover cards have nice updates and good pictures. I always feel like my pets are in good hands (and laps) when she is looking after them.”
“Emily was a godsend during our vacation in Ammon, ID. She was extremely flexible to our changing schedule, adapted to our dog’s needs depending upon timing and weather, and is an excellent communicator. She and her business partner are truly top notch and gave us peace of mind that our pup was in great hands. Thank you, Emily! I wish you lived near me and I would hire you all the time!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spending time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and looking into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home I would be willing to do overnights if needed

“Alexys was wonderful with my cat, Ginger. Her drop in visits were right on time and she did everything I asked of her perfectly. Ginger is a very independent cat and can be a bit standoffish but she warmed up a bit during the first visits with Alexys, and I believe they will become good friends over time. I definitely hope to book her again soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve run a horse ranch for going on 10+ years, and my own household includes three dogs, horses, a donkey and a mule. At this point, I’ve met just about every animal personality: Hollywood, shy, opinionated, and the ones who act like they pay bills. I’m kind, patient, and very aware that you know your pet best. Tell me their routine, their silliness, and favorite things. I’m experienced with special needs cases and first aid trained. I have a large amount of experience with common household animals, fish including large ponds, reptilian, winged, exotic, and livestock critters. I’ll follow your lead and exceed care expectations. I do like to send photos so you can see they’re happy, comfortable and in great hands. Happy to be your pets new friend! Pet care has always been part of my everyday life! Between caring for my own animals and working with horses, I’m no stranger to early mornings, feeding schedules, muddy paws, and making sure everyone gets the attention they deserve. I work remote, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my schedule. So if your pet needs a midday walk, a little company while you're at work, or someone to keep their routine running smoothly while you're away, I'm happy to help! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! My experience working with animals, including gentling wild mustangs and burros, has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of earning an animal's trust. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Some want to be your shadow, while others prefer to observe you from across the room like a tiny, judgmental landlord. Both are welcome here! When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions, maintain their normal routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with pictures and messages, because I know how much we miss our furry kids when we're away.
About: I have taken care of almost any animal imaginable my entire life. From farm animals to regular household pets. I would love to give your pet the most love possible! I could never get sick of loving on them. No animal is too big or too small. I love taking them for walks or just playing fetch in the park. If my prices do not meet your needs please send a request and I’m more than willing to negotiate to help ensure your pet has a safe place. I am available anytime. I’m just a stay at home mom looking for some extra fun things to do. Your pets are welcome to come over and hang out at my house or even stay the night. My dog is extremely friendly and loves having friends or I can hang out with your pet solo! I have plenty of space to crate your dog if need be. My dog is extremely friendly and loves making friends or playing fetch with them.

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.
