“Summer was so easy to work with and clearly has a knack for animals. My skeptical aussies and cat loved her right away. She has a calm demeanor and responds promptly with comments and photos!”
“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!”
“Irelane was a prompt communicator and even dropped by for a meet and greet before the requested dates which was greatly appreciated. She took care of all of our cat's needs and we came home to a very happy cat. Thank you!”
“Kenzie was incredible with our dog Kash! We got great updates every visit and she went above and beyond to make sure he was eating his food (which he typically doesn't do when we are out of town). Thankful she was able to watch our pup and would recommend her to anyone!!”
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: I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, cats, turtles etc, you name it and I’ve probably taken care of it! Dogs are my passion however, I love cuddles and playing with them! I’m free any day , anytime! As long as it is a day in advance I’m perfectly fine with anything! Whatever you are wanting done , I can do! I have 10+ years of any animal handling. I feel comfortable doing anything you need! From small dogs to big dogs I feel very confident and working with them
“This was our third time using Bailey for our very skittish rescue cat when we have to be gone more than overnight. She has always been punctual, polite, and communicative which I appreciate. He hides when she (or anyone) comes over, but Bailey always takes the time to physically find him at every visit to make sure he's okay. This time was no different. Gulliver was well cared for and we came home to an organized water and food station and clean litter box area.”
About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and puppies my entire life and have volunteered with the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I provide dependable, personalized care and treat every animal like family. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a beautiful 10 month old that also has a special love for animals & plenty free time 🥰 I care for dogs in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your routines closely, provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, walks, and medication if needed, while keeping your home safe and respected.
“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
“Kayla was amazing. Took care of my little friend while I was away with great communication and very professional. Took all the stress away of missing him!! Thank you so much and hope to work with her again soon :)”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their different personalities and needs. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles while you’re away. I am currently a student at University of southern Indiana, living from home here in Evansville. I also have a part time job, but I would love to help in the mornings, in between, and after classes! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet in a safe environment, and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I had a last minute request and Megan rose to the occasion beautifully. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my fur children were being looked after. I really appreciated the photos of my cats that she sent. I will definitely use her again all schedules permitting.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals that need a little extra love. I regularly foster animals and believe in adopting rather than shopping. I love teaching my dogs new tricks and keeping them happy, active, and entertained. I’m very caring, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, so I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care while they’re with me. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I can give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get some playtime and attention, and are comfortable before I leave. I don’t offer care in my own home because I have two dogs and a cat, and bringing unfamiliar animals into their space wouldn’t be the best or safest situation for everyone. Instead, I’m happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they’re comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep everything secure, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
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.
“Brooklynn was great! She took care of my Holly girl, gave her lovings, fed her and gave her water, gave her treats, and took her out to potty. Also sent pictures of my girl while I was gone. Everything that I asked for. I’m impressed and will use her the next time.”
About: Since I could remember I have taken care of animals for my family and friends and I could not ask for a better job. I have experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pups there as well as some training experience with young puppies. Currently working as a pharmacy tech while looking for a full-time accounting job. I would love to take care of your pups in my spare time. Right now my schedule is flexible and depends on my pharmacy schedule. Hoping to have a more set schedule soon! I have such a love for caring for any kind of animal and will try my best to help care for yours! I have a mini dachshund of my own named Finnick who is just the best. I got him as a graduation gift and raised him since I was able to, he is my pride and joy!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since the age of 14. Neighbors, friends and family have all trusted me to care for their pets! I treat all pets like they are my own and give them the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time and doing an internship 3 days a week so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I am available for drop in visits Wednesdays, Fridays and all weekend! I care for my clients’ pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar home environment. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any specific preferences or behaviors. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure while their owners are away. During each visit, I spend quality time with the pet—whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship. I also monitor their behavior and well-being closely and will communicate any concerns right away. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel reassured that their pet is happy and well cared for. In addition to pet care, I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

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.
