Walking on leash in the park is fun too.
“Jennifer was awesome for meeting up with us to introduce her to our Woodson. She was attentive and listened to our requests. She was very knowledgeable and and arrived on time. Because of the meet and greet the day before, our Woodson felt very comfortable with her the next evening. She sent us a few pictures of our girl and an update. We will definitely book Jennifer again.”

About: I grew up with puppies and kittens and at one point, my family had two dogs and two cats! I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them. I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family members, and I have volunteering experience at a veterinary clinic, which has given me additional exposure to animal care. One of my favorite things is teaching pets new tricks, whether it’s learning to sit, give paw, or roll over. I find it so rewarding to watch them learn and build trust with me! I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them engaged, but I’m equally happy giving senior pets or more relaxed companions the gentle, patient care they need. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed and adapting to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. To me, caring for a pet is about more than just keeping them safe and fed. It’s about making them feel loved, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I would feel privileged to spend time with your little angels and care for them as if they were my own! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and am taking a break from fulltime corporate work, which gives me more flexibility in my schedule. I currently work as a private tennis coach, so I can plan my classes around spending quality time with your fur babies! I have plenty of time to provide attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, while making sure your pet’s routine and needs come first. I’m excited to use this time to do something I genuinely love: caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My approach to pet care is always loving, patient, and attentive. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I would love to meet you and your fur baby before accepting an assignment to get to know you both and make sure I'm a good fit for your pet's needs. I want the handoff to feel warm and reassuring, so your pet can see that I'm someone you know and trust. The thought of a pet feeling anxious or uncomfortable with a new person in their space breaks my heart, so I want to do everything I can to make the transition as smooth and stress free as possible. I'm also very happy to follow your instructions to a T! You know your baby best, and I respect the routines, boundaries, feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, and little quirks that make them who they are. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep you updated while you're away, and never hesitate to reach out if I have a question or concern. Above all, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your little angel is safe, loved, and 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.
