“Esme was willing to watch our cat, Eevee, last-minute during a holiday weekend, and she did a great job! Eevee got lots of pets and playtime in, and we enjoyed looking at the pictures Esme took. We were camping pretty far out in the mountains with spotty signal, so it was comforting to know Eevee was in good hands and having fun. Thank you!!”
“Rayanne is great!! She is so patient with our old pup and has been so flexible in adjusting visits when she can. Super responsive to text messages. We really appreciate her services.”
“Laurie is great with our pets and she always gives us in-depth reports about them. She’s very responsive and she has also been there for us for last minute bookings.”
About: I've taken care of animals most of my life. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work with any animals. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I have a very open schedule at the moment. I care for my sister's pets while she is at work. So I have a lot of time to spare I pride myself on following directions to a T. Any instructions left for me will be followed and I am not afraid to ask for clarification. My goal is to put your mind at ease knowing your pets are in great hands.
About: I've taken care of multiple kinds of dogs since I was 12. What sets me apart is my personalized, attentive care for each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s high-energy play for puppies or gentle walks and medication support for senior dogs. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, and I’m confident handling leash training, basic commands, and special diets I am currently working part-time and going to school and would like to make some extra cash to help pay for my school tuition. :) Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety come first. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and quiet time—to reduce stress and keep them happy. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure by maintaining their normal environment and daily rhythm. I give regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you’re always in the loop and at ease while you’re away.
“I was a little nervous leaving my cat alone for the first time but Kaitlin was amazing with my girl! As long as we are in Phoenix, she's my go to! Tahli warmed up to Kaitlin pretty quickly and they looked like best friends by the time the visits were over.”
About: Hello! I've been around animals my whole life. They have all lived such happy lives and I'm willing to share the love with yours. I currently have a dog, and 2 rabbits. I have previous experience from working at Petco a few years ago. I took care of many small animals and exotic animals as well. I currently work full time. I do have availability on weekends, but I can make time to check in on your animals during the week if need be. I would be unable to care for your pets in my home, but I do make sure there is nothing they're able to get into prior to leaving your home. I will also make sure they have food, water, and making sure they get their energy out. Overall I will treat them like my own animals. Giving them all the love they need while their parents are out.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs off all breeds since I was young. I have a love for all animals which shows in the care I give them. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets while they’re away, give their pets baths, and even give medication. I currently work overnight starting at 10pm. I can do sittings on Mondays and Tuesdays. Otherwise my schedule leaves me fairly open to take care of your fur babies! I will follow any care instructions provided by pet parents. I will check in on pet/s every 2-4 hours at least if not more often. If needed I can stay will pet for a specified amount of time determined by pet parent.
About: I’ve pet sit and cared for small and large breed dogs while assisting a dog groomer, I own the two most pampered cats in the world, and I’ve loved every second! I look forward to caring for your furry families! I’m currently transitioning into a less hectic work routine and love walking! This is something I love to do so it makes perfect sense, and I would love to meet as many animals as possible in my life. I administer an inhaler treatment to my cat daily, provide wet food, play, clean environments and litter boxes, and occasionally cook food to order for them. I have experience administering care (bandages, medication) to both cats and dogs.
“Moonpie had the best time with Jennifer while I was on vacation. She didn’t want to leave! She very much enjoyed being walked regularly and having dog fun with Jen’s dog Dexter. Moonpie loves Jennifer’s patient and calm nature and knowledgable management of her dog needs.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m a longtime dog owner and have been actively involved in foster care for the past two years, so I’m comfortable getting to know dogs with very different personalities, ages, and needs. I have experience with everything from playful, high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a little more patience and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, exercise, and care instructions and am happy to keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’m also a nurse, with years of experience caring for people who need close observation and medication management. I’m very comfortable administering medications by multiple routes, including injections, and I’m accustomed to noticing subtle changes in behavior or condition and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy dogs. I love getting to know their individual personalities, whether that means a long walk, playing in the yard, a game of fetch, or simply letting them curl up next to me on the couch! My availability * 🏡 Boarding: Friday–Sunday * 🐕 Dog walking: 3–10 PM weekdays + full weekends * 🏠 Drop-ins: 3–10 PM weekdays + full weekends * ❤️ Lots of one-on-one attention * 🌳 Large fenced yard * 🐾 Two years of foster experience * 💊 Comfortable with medications, including injections My home is a very dog-friendly home. I have a large, fenced yard where dogs can safely be outside sniffing, exploring, and monitoring the neighborhood squirrels! I’m located right by Cherry Creek Trail, giving us easy access to great walking opportunities if appropriate for your dog. Dogs staying with me are welcome throughout my home and are absolutely allowed on the furniture and bed. ❤️ I want them to feel comfortable and included rather than confined to one area of the house. Through my foster experience, I’ve learning to be especially attentive to safety and to each dog’s individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements and anything else that helps your dog feel at home. I also love sending photos and updates so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: your dog should be safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me!
“We love having Kevin and Lisa drop in on our cat while we are away! They are so great about playing with him, taking cute photos, and keeping us updated on how he’s doing.”
About: Meet & greets required (with my dogs) before any dog sitting. I take smaller dogs 25 lbs and under. I’m home with my 2 dogs (boys) who would love to watch after your dogs too! I’m used to taking care of dogs who need medicine, my 2 dogs love to play and do great with other dogs as well. My townhouse doesn’t really do well for large dogs without a yard I think it’s for the best that way. I don’t work and I have plenty of time to pay attention to your dogs needs. My dogs are both over 5 and love to play still but also love their naps! My townhouse opens up to cherry creek ecological park so dogs get nice long walks. I also have a front porch that is closed in and I half astroturf out there as well
“Courtney is the best. Extremely attentive and prompt in communicating with us. We trust her with our fur babies and are so grateful to have her with them when we’re away.”
“Jessica kept Cirrus super happy and well fed while we were gone! Plus tons of daily pictures so we could see our sweet kitty's face while we were gone 😍 Thanks, Jessica!!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood
Nicole was very thorough and attentive. Great communication and went above and beyond my expectations. I won't get into the details (she definitely has a professional edge in many areas) that sets her apart from others but know that your pet will get the best care. My guy loved her!
Can’t recommend her enough!! She stepped in last minute and I’m very picky when it comes to people watching my cats. She’s spectacular at communication and is great about sending pictures and update updates! I’ll absolutely be using her in the future!! She was FANTASTIC!!!
AMAZING!! Erica is nothing short of amazing. She was punctual, communicative and just the sweetest woman ever. I cannot recommend her enough! Kept an eye on my kitties while out of town for a few months and made me feel so comfortable and confident that they were okay. 10/10!!!
Diego was an amazing Rover sitter! He was kind, communicative, and made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. I trust Diego to watch Otis and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you again, Diego, for taking such great care of my Otis!

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.
