“Kelly provided a drop-in visit for our dog, Bean, while we were away for the day at a sporting event. She arrived on time, took him for a walk, and ensured he had fresh water. Her visit was well-documented, and she included multiple pictures. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a reliable and caring person to look after our elderly dog.”
About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I was formally apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. Due to school work and graduation plans, I am no longer a member, but all the skills I’ve acquired remain strong! This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.
“Breanne was incredible! She sent lots of pictures of Nash, was timely with each visit and provided information about their visit. She is personable, kind, and I felt very comfortable having Nash in her care. We will be booking her again!”
“Lydia provided daily pictures of my 2 girls when I was away. She played with Hazel and She took time to see my really shy girl who hides from strangers as well. She came daily as agreed. The house was picked up and in good order when I returned. Would recommend to anyone looking to make sure their cats are taken care of while they are gone and have clean litter boxes!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. At 21, I may be younger than some pet sitters, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my own cats and dogs for around 10 years and have experience caring for both cats and dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, temperaments, and routines. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to understand their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs or instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, independent, or happiest curled up beside someone, I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to make them feel safe and loved. With dogs, I enjoy providing plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise, walks when requested, and lots of relaxation and cuddles afterward. With cats, I love spending time playing, bonding, and giving them plenty of attention and affection on their terms. Most importantly, I want both you and your pets to feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pets a happy, comfortable experience while giving you the peace of mind that they’re being genuinely loved and looked after. I work part-time and don’t have school, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m happy to help with pet sitting or dog walking any day of the week, and I can easily adjust to fit your needs. I have my own transportation, so I can come to your home or take your pet out for walks. I’m available anytime, but I’m especially open on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests too if needed! I’m happy to provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar space. I’ll follow your routines for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I’ll also make sure your home stays tidy, with fresh water, clean litter boxes, and any toys or bedding returned to their usual spots. I’m respectful of your space, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: Prior experience working at my local animal shelter has been able to give me lots of experience in dealing with all sizes and pet behaviors! Your pet would be in great paws with me! With having a huge love for animals and caring for two of my own, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I think it is important to put your pets in your daily routines and treat them just the same as any other member of your family! I have a fenced in yard! I can crate your pet when gone, or place in outside kennel. Take on walks or allow to play and roam while home!
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful and incredibly dependable, always arriving right on time. She took the extra effort to truly get to know our cat’s personality and asked thoughtful questions that put us completely at ease. With her great communication and genuine care, we knew our furry friend was in the best possible hands. Plus, she noticed out-of-the-ordinary behavior and alerted us immediately. 5 stars and highly recommend!”
About: The queen of last minute bookings… and I don’t charge you extra for it. Being surrounded by animals after a hard day at work as an EMT is very therapeutic to me. Your pet won’t just be another animal I take care of or walk, your pet will become my friend, and honestly pet friends tend to be a lot more trustworthy than human friends these days. I own 4 dogs, 2 German shepherds, a mini Aussie and a Boxer. Age ranging from 2 yrs old to 13 yrs old. One of them was rescued as a senior the other 2 I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old. I also grew up with hound dogs in the country. I also have experience with horses and other livestock. I have a wide range of experience from different breeds young to senior animals. Super hyper dogs do well with me and I have great experience with them being as I have very hyper dogs as well. Don't let my rates scare you, I work with everyone's budget. I primarily work night shift as an EMT giving me a lot of time during the mornings and afternoons to create this small business. This will fit perfectly into my schedule I will care for your pets with instructions from my clients on how they want their pets taken care of. I will never ever mistreat any animal I ever come across.

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.
