About: I work from home on Fridays and Saturday and Sundays are made to hang out extra long with pets. Monday-Thursday I am in an office with the ability to come home during lunch. I have always loved having dogs of my own, but right now I do not have one. You and your dogs will be happy to know that I love long walks and snuggles on the couch. I also understand if there are certain rules/behavior expectations set by you the owner, that I will follow them implicitly since consistency is needed to have a well-behaved dog. I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. I am available most days and am flexible to help accommodate your schedule. The experience I have in pet care has come from being a previous pet owner, but what comes with that is a true understanding how precious your dog is and that you are trusting me with that huge responsibility. I work from home on Fridays and am home on the weekend, and Monday-Thursday I work in an office close enough that I can stop in for lunch for a quick game of fetch in the yard. I have a fenced in yard and I also have space in my home if your dog requires to be crated. I also live close to a park for extra long walks if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, both are doodle mixes and one is a smaller dog and the other is a big dog so they have helped me learn how to care for dogs. Throughout my life as a teenager I’ve been tasked with basic dog watching duties here and there with a range of breeds, mostly doodle mixes with small and big dogs. Over this past year I’ve had more frequent dog watching jobs, mainly just check in visits with dogs while the owner is out of town or just busy in general. Recently, I had my biggest task which was watching 7 dogs for a week straight while staying overnight. With this task I had to provide medication for some of the dogs, feed every dog, take them outside frequently, and just basic caring duties for every dog. The sizes of dogs I had to watch were from very small to very big dogs. The breeds of dogs there were two Pitbulls, a French bulldog, two small doodle mixes, and two small Shih Tzus. Currently I’m a Sophomore at Bowling Green State University studying Accounting and I’ll also have a part-time job while I’m in school. So I should have plenty of time to care for dogs. Starting August 25th on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’ll be available anytime after 3:00 pm, and for Mondays and Wednesday’s anytime after 4:00pm works for me. For Fridays between 4-9 pm I’m available. Finally for Saturdays and Sundays anytime before 9:00 pm I am available to care. My dogs at home are very friendly and easy to care for. I help with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing. For any client I’ll be able to provide those services as well, and also other things such as providing medicine for any clients pets.
“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”

“Stephanie was fantastic with our dog. Her messages are detailed and she is very responsive. Our dog was having some issues with her paws and she took great care of her. I highly recommend Stephanie.”

“Thank you Dylan 🙏! You don’t know how much you helped, last minute booking going on a week trip! He was able to stop by and care for my bearded dragon reptile!! My dragon is as happy as can be!! I recommend Dylan!! If you need a pet sitter 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“My two labs immediately loved Rachel. I was so grateful she was able to squeeze us in with a pretty late notice. I appreciated all updated and photos. We will definitely have her watch our boys again.”

About: I've had and taken care of pets including cats, dogs, fish, and the occasional baby bunny or duckling that we would find in our backyard or in the creek next to our house growing up. I have experience working with multiple different breeds of both cats and dogs, so I am comfortable with all types of pets. I don’t currently have any pets, but my family has two Newfoundlands and four cats. I often dogsat for our neighbors dogs growing up, and in college I would also enjoy going to the humane society to volunteer to walk dogs and help out with the cats. I grew up with pets my entire life and have experience working at a doggy daycare as well as at PetSmart as a pet care associate, and love working with any type of furry friend! I work part time as a gymnastics coach in the evenings and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am also willing and able to work weekends or holidays to look after your pet if their human is traveling for the holidays. I always like to do an initial meet and greet to get to know you and your pet a little bit better, as well as to go through things like the pets daily schedule/routine and where things like leashes, food, water bowls, treats, poop bags, etc. are kept. It is also nice to see how your pets interact with each other and/or me, as well as asking any questions that might be important during their time spent in my care, such as if the pets have any allergies or dietary restrictions, emergency veterinary contact information, any medications your pet might be taking, whether or not they are friendly with other dogs, if they are allowed on the furniture, or any other special accommodations they might need so that I can give your furry friend the best care possible!

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.
