“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”
“Ellie loved Jialin! She came inside from after the walk eagerly to tell us about her new best friend. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. So lucky to find her and John.”
“Kellie was great. She sent us some cute pictures of Charlie and the details of each visit. She is very professional and friendly and we are happy that she took great care of Charlie. Would definitely recommend!”
“Gianna went above and beyond while looking after my cat. This is my first time using Rover and Gianna was super communicative and attentive. I would definitely book with her again if needed.”

About: Seventeen years of feeding and caring for pets from bunnies to dogs, cats, cows, pigs, and chickens. Have taken care of a variety of breeds, behaviors, and ages. I am available many of hours of the day during the week and weekend. I will not accept a job that I cannot reasonably provide care for the pet. I take advantage of animals’ unique physiological systems (i.e. smell, slow movements) to gain trust. I like to stick to pets’ household routines. If there are specific instructions for going outside, I would like to know ahead of time.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, and working at a dog daycare.

I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, especially during the summer. Since I’m not working another job right now, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I have two of my own dogs at home and i give my clients pets the same warm and gentle care that i give my own.
About: Working with animals is both my night and day job! What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both high-energy animal's and seniors needing gentle, consistent care. I adapt easily to each animals routine and personality, making them feel safe and loved. I like to provide updates, so you never have to worry while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with my own two dogs. I plan to provide what I do to your companions. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and attention, making every pet feel prioritized. I work part time so I make sure to stay organized and flexible so I can provide reliable, consistent care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any rules or routines if asked to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I double check doors, monitor behavior, and keep a clean, safe environment. I will never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe conditions and will communicate clearly with owners, so they know their pet is cared for like my own.

Your furry fam will spend that day with me and we’ll have lots of fun! Above all I know that every animal (and person!) is unique and is to be cater to in a way that best suits them.

This is not limited to following their food schedule, making time for exercise and play, cleaning after them and of course giving them the love and attention they need! *please note, my apartment is not suitable to accommodate pets at this time. Therefore all overnight services will need to take place at the owners house. I am very open to discussing a system of care that’s most comfortable for you, doggy, and myself :)*

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.
