“Kimberly took great care of our pets while we were away! She sent daily pictures, kept us updated, and left our home in great condition. I will absolutely use her services again in the future!”
“So kind and compassionate! And always available last minute which I really appreciate cause I’m really forgetful. She really has been patient with my pup that’s still in potty training and very playful!”
“Danielle was amazing!! She left detailed rover cards and the cutest pictures of our boys. I knew Oliver & Ozzy were in such great care with Danielle 🥰 Would absolutely recommend and book with Danielle again!”
About: I have cared for over 30 some animals since i was a little kid, from dogs and cats to goats, chickens, ducks, fish, and even a pigeon. I’ve been intimately involved with training multiple dogs and have been the sole walker and caretaker to many of them. Currently home for college, I am free basically 24/7 and prepared to make caring for your pets my focus. If need be, I am prepared to help out on short notice. I make sure to be very active with pets and make sure they get all the walking and playing they need. I am receptive and observant of their wants and needs.
About: Current foster for local shelters and rescues. I’ve cared for newborn and medically complex cats, kittens, puppies, adult dogs… the list goes on and on! I’ve also worked in two animal hospitals and have a bunch of pets of my own! Aside from relationship with the Lord, my family is my highest priority. I’m happily married, and I’m currently a stay at home mom to my three amazing children, and fur mom to our dogs, cats, bunnies and chickens. And what better way to spend my free time than by caring for foster animals in need and playing/walking other people’s pets?!?! Second to the Lord, my husband and children, my greatest joy is animals. I absolutely love fostering! Seeing an animal go from living on the streets, barely surviving, to thriving and finding their forever homes warms my heart to the core; especially, knowing that I played a huge part in that journey. As for our own pets, we take impeccable care of each of them like they’re our children. They have a fully fenced yard, go on frequent walks, and are just spoiled rotten!
About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals. I know that dogs need their exercise and outdoor time, while cats might need a clean litter box and some interactive toy play. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I currently work morning and occasional afternoon shifts, typically from 5 AM–1 PM or 12 PM–5 PM. My schedule still allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. Outside of my work hours, I am available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, companionship, and attention they need while you’re away. I strictly follow all security and care instructions to keep your pets and property safe. I am a highly responsible and communicative sitter. I'll send you frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you're away.
“Kimry was absolutely amazing. I forgot to change my address and accidentally sent her to the wrong house. So many people would have understandably decided to cancel the reservation but she was so sweet and understanding. Plus my boys absolutely loved her! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was really little from them being born to them being seniors. I currently do work in a kennel so I have been with all types of dogs from really sweet puppies to pretty spicy adult dogs even some senior ones. I also have experience with dogs that have to have medication in the morning or are you at night and dog that are deaf and blind. I truly love any dog so it’s very hard for one to scare me away. so because I do work at a dog kennel I have been around dogs as small as 5 pounds all the way up to dogs that are 160 pounds. Monday, Wednesday- Friday I am available after 3pm but Tuesdays, Saturday, & Sunday I am available all day long for walks, house sitting, & I can also offer some grooming services like Bath, Nails, Paw Pads, and Desheds. So I do work at the dog kennel part-time. I’ll mostly be available on the weekends all day Saturday, Sundays, Tuesday. I’ll also be will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights though So if you would have me over at your place to watch your dogs, I tried to make sure I have a very open communication with my customers. That way they know that what is going on with their dogs that way if there’s any problems, they are notified right away. I do like sending photos out throughout the day. That way you get to see them enjoying their time playing around that way you know what they’re up to in their day.
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. They are family. I want to make sure every animal feels loved and cared for by owners and support people. I am currently not working, so I’m almost always available to stop over and play with your pet, or take for walks. Your baby will be in great hands when you need me. I have a fenced yard and take my dog Mae for 1-2 walks daily. I live alone with just Mae , so she is my baby right now.
“Emily was great with our pets. She was able to work us in on short notice, which was fantastic! She did everything we asked, and sent us cute photos of our dog and cats. We are very thankful to get such a considerate sitter for our weekend away from home.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dogwood Acres
Brittany was extremely attentive and made sure to take care of everything that our two dogs and two cats needed and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy. This was our first time using a pet sitter and she has made it a great experience, we would be more than happy to book with her again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kimry was absolutely the best, my cat is very shy and he warmed right. Loved the communication through out the drop ins, and overall how kind and professional. I will 100% request for any other pet sitting needs in the future.
Britney went above and beyond her duties on day one. She spent over an hour with Oscar since she knew he was difficult to win over. He was very well taken care of and communicated exceptionally well throughout the duration of her visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care of their pet.
Elizabeth did an absolute amazing job taking care of my cat! She did exactly what was needed. She truly cared for my cat and gave more than what was asked every time! She updated me with lots pics and was very much in touch with me with any questions and updates. I would highly recommend her to anybody!!

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.
