“Ryane was great and patient with my cat, Ghost. My cat can be a little shy at first when she meets new people but they became fast friends and Ghost seemed to warm up to Ryane quickly. Ryane followed the instructions that were given and gave me a little update at each check in. I highly recommend Ryane and would likely book again.”
“We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!”
About: I've taken care of multiple cats and dogs for the past 7 years, have helped with house sitting and dropping in to keep energetic dogs from tearing apart the house while the owners are away, and have walked dogs for quite a bit. I have also owned or lived in households where there are multiples cats and dogs, so taking care of more than one animal at a time is not an issue for me. I work night shifts and can easily pop out during the day to take care of any animal, stopping by the house to let the dog out as frequently as needed, feeding the pets, etc. I also have my own car, so transportation is not an issue. For pet care, it entirely depends on the animal. Basics, however, include feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning out litter boxes on a regular basis, and making sure dogs or more active pets get the exercise they need throughout the day.
“Kora is an excellent sitter for our dog, Ginny. She is always willing to stay longer to provide comfort to our pup, send photos, and keep me updated. I’ve used Kora each time we’ve gone away for the last 2 years and she is just wonderful. This past trip we took she noticed dishes in our sink and did them. It wasn’t even necessary but she went the extra mile to provide incredible service. We feel so confident leaving our pup home, as we can’t board her due to her anxieties around other animals, and we are able to enjoy our trip. She is always available even last minute and she is dependable. Recommend Kora 100x over!”
About: Ever since I was little I have had an overwhelming love for all animals. No matter where I go I am constantly pointing out an animal, asking its owner more about them, and stopping to pet them! I have grown up with/had dogs my entire life. I have also been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. During these years I have cared for many animals with different personalities and needs. My own dogs are definitely quirky and I understand that every dog is different and deserves personalized care. I also provide daily medications for my dogs, so I am very used to following specific routines and comfortable giving pets the extra care they may need. I will always treat your animals with love and patience, while, of course, giving them lots and lots of attention. Animals are family! My daily schedule is flexible because I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree online, while allows me to build my schoolwork around a consistent routine. Being that I have plenty of flexibility throughout my day, this provides ample time for dog walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. In every environment, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I really enjoy learning about dogs and am constantly researching their behaviors and body language. I believe understanding how a dog communicates is such an important part in taking care of them. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and individual cues so I can better understand how they are feeling and make them comfortable around me. My dogs in my own home are truly part of the family and are very spoiled and pampered. I make sure they receive lots of attention, love, and enrichment, and I take their comfort and happiness very seriously. Caring for my own pets, for my whole life, has taught me how important it is to notice the little things and truly understand animals. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would my own. I am always mindful of keeping any doors and gates secure, providing plenty of supervision and attention, and making sure each pet gets the exercise, interaction, and care they need. My goal is for every pet I take care of to feel just as loved, comfortable, and well cared for as the animals in my own home.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
“Jennifer was a great cat sitter while we were on vacation. She feed and cleaned up after our kitty and sent plenty of pictures. She is definitely my go to cat sitter going forward.”
About: I’ve helped care for my families pets while showing them love and tending to their needs :) I have always been the one to feel closer to animals than people, so I will care for your pets like family I will be able to work any hours any day :) I have a completely open schedule as I am a stay at home wife!

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.
