“We have 3 very energetic vizslas (50 lbs each), Samantha did absolutely amazing with them. She kept them engaged during her visits with them. We usually have a nervous chewer and this time with Samantha as a dog sitter he didn't chew on ANYTHING! We have had many dog sitters and by far will go pick Samantha over anyone for our pups. She went above and beyond and we are greatly appreciative of her!”

We take evening walks or Playtime. I clean their bedding, litter box, or cages. We also take time out to buy pet supplies such as food, treats, and hygiene products. Remove hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure Boundaries: I make sure the yard is securely fenced to prevent. For consistency, I like to stick to the pet's usual routines, including feeding schedules and exercise patterns. This consistency helps build trust. Daily logs of the pet's activities, are kept, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any unusual behavior. I will share photos or videos with the pet owner to provide reassurance and maintain trust. Prioritize their safety, build trust through care and attention, and create a comfortable environment, and you'll provide exceptional pet care services.
About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.
About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.
“We have booked with Sam before and were so happy that she was available this time as well! She takes such good care of our dog and our cat, and has learned their personalities so well :) her updates are thorough and she sends lots of pictures!”


About: I have been stepping in to take care of pets for the last 5 years. I had cats my entire childhood, but always had neighbors with dogs. I can walk them, scoop poo, and play with them with no issue. I’m a best fit for houses with both cats and dogs, and I’m open to caring for other animals as well (birds, lizards, snakes, etc.) with proper instructions! While in college I pet sit regularly for a dog with high medical needs (seizures, diabetes, etc.) and am very good at following instructions for their medication and care. Overall, I love watching over creatures that some might consider “finicky or particular.” It’s rewarding to help them stay comfortable while their favorite person is away. I’m currently working part time (15-20hrs) as a server, so the days that I work varies week to week. However, I don’t work weekends, and I’m never at work for longer than 8 hours (most shifts are 4-6hours). I can easily visit your pet/house in the morning, go to work, and return to check on them in the afternoon/evening. On days that I’m not working, I can check more frequently and stay longer. I will feed, give medication, scoop litter boxes, and play/walk your pets according to their needs. For general house sitting, I can water plants and bring in mail/packages if requested! For stays that are 3 days+, I will also clean water bowls/food dispensers. I am open to light cleaning (floors, laundry, dusting, etc.) in homes that I’m watching for 3+ days, but for a negotiated rate. If you have pets, I will not clean with anything that is not pet friendly!! I will keep you updated with pictures of your pets, and contact you immediately if any issues arise. I will problem solve as much as possible, but not without you knowing. This should go without saying, but I will never bring any other person to your home!
“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: I grew up with dogs as pets my whole life and have been doing professional pet care for the past three years. I’m great with animals and love getting to spend time with them. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for dogs. I’m available for all services and will be available all times and days. I live in an apartment community with dog parks, private roads, and many trails by the river for long nature walks! Live to play with them in your backyard as well!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

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.
