“Renada, thank you for caring for Angel during my travels. As a first time Rover user I experienced learning lessons, that I am confident will make future success.”
“Jaclyn was super professional and communicated at every step. It was an unusually cold day, and she gladly walked the puppies when she definitely could have (justifiably) chose not to. I'm so glad that she took good care of my fur babies.”
“King Yin L. was excellent with my dog, Chosen. I scheduled last minute and he accommodated. His service exceeded my expectations! I Highly recommend booking him to care for your dog! He was amazing!”
“Another great month with Jessica dropping in 3 days a week. Besides being great with the dogs, how great is it that when I come home on Mondays, she’s put up my trash bucket for me??!! I’m spoiled!”
About: I grew up on a ranch and have been caring for animals since I was about 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows, chickens, and even the occasional turkey. Dogs have always been a particularly big part of my life. My grandmother showed dogs competitively, and I spent years helping her care for and prepare them for dog shows. Because of that, I have extensive experience with bathing, grooming, walking, basic training, feeding, and general day-to-day dog care. I’m very comfortable working with animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up around so many animals taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to their individual needs are. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, some extra attention, or just someone dependable to keep them company, they’ll be cared for like one of my own. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible during both the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home. During the week, I can stay at your house or apartment while caring for your pet as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work remotely. On weekends, my schedule is completely open, so I can spend plenty of time keeping your pet company and following their normal routine. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pets on their normal routine. I currently care for three cats, and each of them has their own feeding schedule, preferences, and daily routine, so I understand how important consistency can be. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, and any other specific needs they may have. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety concerns are checked carefully so your dog stays safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Valda was excellent! I had to make a last-minute booking for the holidays, and she responded quickly and with so much grace. Would definitely recommend booking her to anyone needing their cats watched and played with.”
“Tetyana is an amazing sitter and a very nice person. She took great care of my two cats for 5 days while we were away and went above and beyond to ensure they maintained their routine. I could not have left my cats in better hands.”
About: Hi, I'm Winter 👋 As the designated petsitter for my farmer-filled neighborhood over the last 20 years, and running my own beekeeping business for the last 6, I love creatures of all kinds. I've got decades of experience caring for household pets! Having a responsible sitter is so important to me when life gets in the way and I can't be with my own pets. I would love to pass my experience on to your furry (or otherwise!) loved ones and offer that peace of mind. Full time petsitter, available evenings, weekends, holidays. Whenever you've got that date night planned or kid's sports practice. Reach out I'd love to meet you pets! I believe in letting the pet guide the interaction to ease stress and continue their normal routine. I also try to be very respectful of others homes. I know letting a stranger come help is stressful on pets as well as owners.
About: Welcome to Caro's Corner! I have over 15 years of pet care experience with dogs, cats, and various small animals. I currently own 2 dogs: Kryptonite, a cuddly senior, and Malone, an energetic "teenager." Before moving to Austin, I also volunteered at an animal shelter in South Florida, where I comforted and exercised dogs ranging in age from puppies to seniors. You and your fur baby deserve a communicative and trustworthy pet sitter, so I am thrilled you are here! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions 😊 (All new clients require a Meet and Greet prior to booking) My services are always available Monday-Friday from 7-8AM, 12-1PM, and 4:30-9PM (all day Saturday and Sunday). I update my calendar regularly to reflect my availability, but please contact me to see if I can accommodate your needs between the hours listed above. Your dog's health and safety, along with that of your home, is my top priority! Learning important information about your pup, such as their temperament with strangers or other animals, allergies (food, medication, etc.), and everyday routines, will ensure they are well taken care of while you are away.
“Benjamin was extremely professional with me and sweet to my cats. They can be a little picky about who they interact with and shy around new people and he made them comfortable while I was away.”
“Anders is a dream petsitter! Always punctual, thorough with check-in summaries, super flexible and confident to handle special pet care needs. I had 0 worries while away knowing that our furry family members were getting the BEST care! Don't think twice about requesting Anders to care for your pets, you will not be disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I was really nervous, but he did real well and treated my Leo right and it was really smooth. I love that he was very responsive and took pictures for me so I can have peace of mind. 💕”
“Pressley was a fantastic sitter. I usually have my dachshund Lulu stay with friends, but I had to have someone watch her this trip for a week and I am happy I went with Pressley. She was flexible, she provided great content and notes from the visits, and for someone that really misses their pets when away, helped close the gap. Would 1000% recommend and rebook. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Dee Dee is amazing - we were lucky enough to find her as soon as we moved to Austin and have been with her ever since. Our two large dogs absolutely love her and are grateful that Dee Dee is so reliable and kind. She didn’t even break a sweat when I requested a booking 24 hours before! She is truly an awesome dog mama and anyone is lucky to work with her!”
“Davida’s a trooper - it was Monte’s first time left alone and he got frustrated with being shooed off the counter and scratched her. She reported it to me and was still so kind after the incident - i appreciate the honesty and diplomacy so much as we figure out his needs when we’re away! Thank you Davida!!”

Pressley was amazing with my cats! One is very timid and she was very respectful of his space while ensuring to give my super social cat lots of love and attention! She also did really good following their feeding instructions and made sure that everything was nice and clean when she left :)
Debra is lovely and did a fantastic job taking care of our boys while we were away for the weekend. She did an excellent job communicating and sending updates, and it was easy to be in the moment instead of worried about our pets back home. We can’t wait to work with her again!
Sonia did an amazing job taking care of my two difficult pups, Reyna and Rojo, while I was on vacation! She was patient, attentive, and took such great care of them. I came home knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend Sonia and will definitely book her 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.
