About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.
About: English/Japanese bilingual I love dogs. Mine lived to 19 and I miss her so much. I would love to help you care for yours! When I'm with your dog, I'm fully present, calm and patient. I'm attentive to what they need and notice the little things: when they seem anxious, when they need a slower pace, when they just want to sit close to someone or need their space. I won't just look after your dog — I will try my best to tune into what they're feeling and respond to it. I'm new to Rover and have cared for my own dogs rather than many, but I am communicative, responsive, and open to feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I am currently between jobs and have a pretty flexible schedule, but prefer to work weekdays - as long as I know ahead of time, I can work around yours. I will be respectful of your space, attentive to your pet's needs, and mindful of any notes you share with me ahead of time.
About: I've been pet sitting/dog walking for friends and neighbors since high school. In addition I have worked at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs as little as chihuahuas to large German shepherds. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is aways to ensure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent care whenever you need it. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including morning, afternoons and evenings. Your pets safety and comfort are always my top priority! I strive to make sure all animals in my care receive the highest level of care possible and treat them as if they were my own. I am attentive on walks and always try to make sure they are safe and happy at all times.
About: I spend time with dogs at my job on a daily. Though I work in a shoe store, I walk them and make sure they are being fed and loved properly. I also make sure they don’t chew the shoes we sell :D I am working part time so I hope to take care of your pets on the weekend and on some week days but I will be sure to make this as purposeful as it is to have a pet; another member of the family. My house is extremely spacious as it barely has rooms connected through doors, but rather wide entrances, not to mention a long downstairs basement newly renovated perfect for your pet to have an adventure in. And of course a comfortable back and front yard for your pet to roam freely but looked over at all times.
“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
“Rhinesca took great care of Tyler while we were away. She took him for walks, made sure he had fresh water and food, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated knowing Tyler was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play. I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.
“Very reliable, great communication. He was knowledgeable and obviously loves pets. He went above and beyond caring for our 2 dogs and sent lots of pictures. We would absolutely use him again.”
“Pete did an amazing job with all 3 of my dogs, one of them is special needs as well and he was able to walk and feed them and follow their care instructions with great communication updates. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone in need of a trusted walker/sitter and look forward to relying on him more and more in the future.”
“First time ever using Rover and I have to say that I am so impressed . Not only with this app , but with this amazing young lady in particular. Lauren is so attentive, sweet and really put my mind at ease. So extremely happy my girls were taken care of so well. Will definitely be rebooking with Lauren every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
“Rachel is such an outstanding pet sitter - and so professional in her care! We feel so fortunate to have her care for our dogs in our absence. She cares for our dogs like they are part of her own family and goes above and beyond!”
“Sara was great to work with! She is very timely, took care of our kitties like they were her own, and checked in with pictures and updates. Our normally shy kitties came out to see her so that tells me only great things! We also felt that our home was safe and treated with care too. I highly recommend her and we will be using her again for future trips. Thank you so much!”

Alex took wonderful care of my senior dog Georgie. He came to walk him, gave him a treat, and made sure his water bowl was full before leaving. He follows instructions carefully, is responsible and always punctual. I felt completely at ease knowing Georgie was in good hands. I will absolutely continue using Alex in the future, including longer stays. Highly recommend.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Demarest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
