“This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!”

About: I work at a groomers, so I have experience with handling all kinds of dogs big or small! I’ve had dogs all my life growing up , and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs countless times. Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life. My biggest goal is to make sure all of them feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my hands. As well as owning animals my whole life, I feel extremely comfortable around all types of dogs. I care for every furry friend as if they were my own. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide plenty of potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to give medications if needed, clean up any accidents, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing 😊

We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”

About: I have a deaf dog that is 10 years old who is my best friend and she learns with hand signals. I love every dog and treat them like they're my own. You can trust that I'm the one for your best friend. As of now my schedule is very open and flexible. We can set up a schedule that works best for you and your pup to get the job done properly. I am available to go to your home and check on your dog as often as needed. I will give them walks as often as they're use to in a neighborhood you're comfortable with. Also, if you have a fenced in yard, I am wiling to let them out and play with them there as well.

About: I am familiar with all forms and types of animals from mice to birds, but I've found that dogs prefer being walked the most. I am a freelance artist so I am available 24/7 and have experience with raising puppies, training, teaching new tricks to old dogs, and giving unsolicited advice on dog collar styles. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, and even children. Rest assured your pet will be safe with me. I treat my clients like family, since I will be taking care of theirs after all. In fact my family has been pet and home sitters for three generations! I have experience with caring for elderly pets, administration of medication, certified in human CPR and I know dog CPR, and caring for sick or injured animals. Get out of the house and explore the neighborhood, maybe even check out new treats at the pet shop. I want to ensure they have a good night's sleep. I prefer a fenced in yard that way it adds an extra degree of protection against types of critters who might try and pick a fight.

About: I’ll take care of your beloved pet as if they were my own — with love, kindness and patience. Most of all, I will be sensitive to their needs and limitations (i.e. making sure pavement is not too hot, monitoring them for cold/ heat exposure, etc.) I will make time to fit you and your pet's schedule to walk your dog at the optimal time. Flexible with regard to weather, esp. for pets who are sensitive to heat and cold. During each walk I am prepared to keep your pet safe and protect them from other animals and traffic depending on where we walk by carrying bear spray, air horn, head harness, water bowl, or whatever the situation calls for. I also have an access to car pick up if there is an emergency. Ask me about the charity I am donating to, and a promo code to save money on your first booking! I am à school speech therapist and have limited availability. Right now I am willing to take on 1-2 clients per day. If you are able, please request a free trial / meet and greet before your first booking. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to a park for a fun outing! If they are not up to walking on that day, we can just play or smell the grass together! My goal is for your dog to have an immersive, engaging walk so they are can rest when they get home- dog and human together, enjoying outdoors with all 5 senses!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have 18 years of experience caring for them. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs, and I’ve never met a dog that didn’t warm up to me. I believe dogs are easier to understand when you take the time to learn their personality, communicate clearly, and establish boundaries built on trust and respect. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to work around different walking and pet-care needs. I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the day and your dog’s needs. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs of my own who are comfortable around dogs and have been properly socialized with dogs and people of all ages. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and make sure introductions are done gradually and appropriately. I always pay close attention to each dog’s individual personality, boundaries, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their routines and instructions closely. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care.

About: Hello! I am new to Rover . I grew up with a pug and now have a energetic Boston terrier! I can walk, and spend time with, or feed your pets. I absolutely love cats AND dogs. I look forward to getting to know you furry family member! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention and care they need! My schedule is pretty open! I am always careful with entering someone’s house because I know my cat try’s to get out and I am careful when walking dogs in case they don’t get along with other dogs as my dog does not.

These were the best babysitters I’ve had ! They proactively worked with me while I was out of town during a severe storm and were great at communicating my pets and household needs.

The ladies were incredibly patient with my dramatic dog. He was refusing to come down stairs and the ladies took the time to talk to him and give him treats until he was comfortable. He then forgot about being a brat after that.

Scott arrived on time and my dogs were comfortable with him. He was attentive to them outside when dropping by to let them out and playing with them. Would definitely use his services again.

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.
