“Sydney is THE BEST. I’ve had multiple Rovers, and she is by far the most caring, loving individual to my pups. My dogs adore her and she has an amazing natural way of working with them on her visits. Thanks Sydney!”
“Kelsey is amazing with communication! My husband and I went out of town and she took care of our 3 dogs. She sent pictures and updates of the pups daily. If we ever need a dog sitter again we will book with Kelsey again!”
“By far the best experience we have had on Rover in the 2 years we have been using it. Incredibly attentive and communicative. This was the first trip where we were not worried or nervous for our cats wellbeing while away.”
“Bailey was awesome, she was a lifesaver when my sitter had to cancel on me the last due to an emergency. Bailey was very accommodating and she really took good care of my fur babies 😊. I definitely recommend her ❤️”
“Megan helped us out with our Golden Retriever puppy when we were in a jam on short notice. Her gentle personality was an immediate comfort to me. We got great updates each day of her drop in from the Rover app. Megan was very prompt with responding to any question or news we had. We appreciate her professionalism and kindness. Will definitely ask for her again!”

About: Serving Clay Center KS Junction City, KS and surrounding areas as well I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and have vast experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, needs, and species. I am very physically active and can provide fast paced walks or runs for the more energetic dogs. I’m very intuitive with animals and am able to adjust my energy to suit their needs and requirements for a more peaceful interaction. I spent about 2 years volunteering at my local dog shelter, as the dog exerciser and obedience trainer, producing excellent results. I was a former Security Forces member in the United States Air Force- attention to detail and integrity are engrained in me. I love picking up pet care jobs on the side whenever I can. I work several part time jobs as a welder, personal trainer, and reiki practitioner. I love having a variety of jobs to do- especially when it involves animals! If I am caring for your pet(s) in your home, they will be very well taken care of. They will receive loads of love and attention and your home will also be in excellent hands. While on walks, I am very attentive and cautious of all possibilities and situations, ensuring that your pet will never get loose or harmed.
About: My unique combination of experience, training, personality, and approach to pet care can set them apart from other sitters and make them a preferred choice for pet owners. Pet care can include feeding, providing water, exercise, grooming, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets, and can be incorporated into a daily or weekly routine. Pet care in a person's home or a client's home typically involves feeding, providing water, exercise, grooming, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets.
About: I’ve take care dogs since I was 7 always around dogs and always helping neighbors with their dogs. It is the best environment that I love to in it. I’m currently working on base but I’m always available after 5 pm and weekends for walking daily after 5 pm or staying with me if someone needs to travel. I have a fenced backyard and friendly dog that loves to play so I have enough space for more dogs and toys for them to play.
“Communicative and reliable! Did great handling our rather complicated dog! Was able to take her on walks even though she can have behavioral issues and gave her meds without issue! Great trustworthy drop in sitter, would love to use his services again!”
About: I have had a dog within my household my entire life. Family and friends have asked me to watch their fur babies. I have provided drop in care and overnight care. I am a college student, so my schedule is very flexible to be able to give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve/want! I can easily crate an animal when needed, I am always watching the clock to make sure I am on time for feedings and medicine. Walks are something I love to do if the animal permits. I am also comfortable transporting dogs, weather that be to a daycare or grooming appointment.

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.
