“Summer takes our dogs out for us every week and is so awesome with them!! She is so reliable and always on time, and always sends me photos and videos of them! I highly recommend her!!”
“She was phenomenal! Lady looked like she was enjoying herself and had some good exercise around the block. She took the time and care to pet and love on lady while looking after her. The walks were about 20 minutes and perfect for my dog. She followed everything to a T. Would love to have her again!”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs through out my life and currently have 3 who I’ve raised since I got them as puppies. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, feeding, and caring for dogs through different stages of life including senior care. My schedule if fairly flexible and I’m able to work with any accommodations or routines as needed. I’m currently taking classes at USI on MWF so I have availability before 9:00 and after 6:00, and on Tuesday and Thursday I’m available before 1:00 and after 6:00. I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce any amount of stress that may come up by making sure they have fresh water available at all times, making sure they’re feed at predictable time, and making sure they get lots of attention, exercise and bathroom breaks. I’ll also be sure to pay attention to dogs personal needs based on owners instructions and the dog’s personality! Currently I’m not available to watch dogs in my own home as I have several of my own I would like to look out for their wellbeing as well as your dogs!
About: Hi there! I'm Kels; lover of all things furry, but especially dogs. I've had dogs all my life. Grew up in a home that fostered often. I tried fostering once and she never left. 😆 I have 2 doodles of my own. A 9 year old labradoodle and a 4 year old golden doodle. I've dog sat for friends and family for years in their home, my own, or regular drop ins. I promise to give your dog real attention and affection. My furs are my life and I will treat yours with as much care as I treat mine. I love sharing pictures of your pets while you're away to give you peace of mind and hopefully a few smiles. I know that's something I look forward to when I am away from my pups. I work full time from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can easily modify my break times for walks, potty breaks, and of course snuggles and playtime. When visiting your home I promise to treat it with respect; valuing your property and privacy. My home offers a fenced in front yard for safe potty breaks, but they will always be monitored when they have access to the yard. For those needing more adventure and space there are 12 acres of grass, trees, and lake to play in. We can discuss placing a GPS fence collar on them if they will have time outside the fenced yard. Safety, fun, and affection are the priorities over here.
About: I would love to care for your pet while you're busy at work or relaxing on vacation! With my flexible schedule I am able to give your fur baby as many potty breaks as they need. Pack their favorite toy because we plan to play all day! I fostered dogs for over 6 years before becoming a pet sitter, therefore I have a lot of experience with different breeds, sizes and ages. Small fenced in yard located on the west side near Franklin street, Absolutely can’t wait to get to know and spoil your pet. The goal is for your pet to be a happy, not hangry, camper! I’ll always do my best to keep them on their same feeding and bedtime schedule. Big time safety nut, it’s my number one priority! I will do any and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable in my home. Will Always use a leash! Or have dogs in completely secure fenced in spaces. Pups will be using about 5 steps to get into the main level of our home which I understand can be an issue for some doggies 🐾 I’ll win your pup over quickly making them feel welcome and right at home! This environment is dog & kid friendly (kids ages 4 & 6)
About: I have watched all kinds of breeds of dogs for about 7 years now for friends and family when they go out of town or on vacation. I currently work 7:30 to 4 during the week and work from home, I am available after work during the week, and on nights and weekends. I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals to be in their own environment.
“One of our fur babies needs meds twice a day and she really saved us! She’s great with the dogs, checked food and water and kept us in the loop with pictures and texts! Definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Brooke, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently share my home with dogs of my own and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. As a former operations executive, reliability, communication, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can expect prompt updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved family member. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and ensuring your pet receives the individualized care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and spend a significant amount of time at home, which means pets in my care are rarely left alone for extended periods. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and enrichment activities into each day while maintaining the routines and structure pets are accustomed to at home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any special care instructions before their stay or visit. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency. In my home, pets are provided with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and opportunities to rest. Introductions to resident pets are done thoughtfully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions, maintain security by ensuring doors and gates remain secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their time with me.
“Taylor was amazing and took care of our Nnedi while we were out with drop in visits, sending us great updates and pictures. Will definitely go with Taylor again in the future!”
“Bethany was so awesome with our pup! We used drop in visits while we were gone on a trip as our dog prefers to be home, and she was so incredible with photos and videos, keeping us updated on everything. We will absolutely use her again in the future!”

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.
