About: As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.
About: I have grown up and lived with dogs for my entire life so I understand the responsibility and care they need on a daily basis. Whether your dog needs time outside of the house or a friendly face during the day; I offer dog sitting and/or walking. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and therefore have a lot of experience caring for them! My summer availability is pretty much all day everyday! If hours needed outside of those listed, feel free to ask! Mon - Fri: 9am - 5pm Sat - Sun: 9am - 5pm My dogs are apart of the family! We love going outside and on walks but also enjoy just relaxing at the house. I will make sure that your dog feels the same type of love!
“This was the second time Sheila watched our cats, coming twice a day to feed and check on them. She brought out all of their toys to break up the boredom of being left alone and sent her usual great updates. Communication is always above and beyond. Sheila’s number one on our sitter list.”
“I love the way Melanie takes care of Estrella. She really invest energy to make Estrella enjoy life to the fullest. I will definitely continue asking Melanie to take care of her.”
About: I have a heart for animals and love being with them and taking care of them. It really brings me a lot of joy. I love walking dogs and going on a mini adventure. Playing with them and making sure they have everything they need to keep them happy and healthy. I'm pretty flexible Monday - Saturday for dog walking, dog/cat sitting.Can start around 7am - 9pm most days. I can also do overnights if needed and come back later in the day if needed. I'm reliable and responsible. I will give loving care to your pet just like I would my own dog or cat. I have a heart for animals and they bring me joy. I aim to give that joy right back to them too! I love walking dogs and taking care of fur babies.
“Thank you SO much! Alex checked on our dogs twice a day and I feel like I came home to a cleaner house and better trained dogs. I am so grateful that we’ve found such a great person to help us with dog care. Thank you so much Alex.”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
“Hannah was our savior when it came to needing a last minute drop in and she couldn’t have been more perfect. She was super communicative and sent tons of pictures from her time with Arthur. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Kimberly was amazing! Just moved to the area and was nervous about finding a new sitter for a cat that recently became a solo cat but Kimberly eased all anxieties. Super communicative, timely, and considerate. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Sonia consistently updated me everyday with pictures and a very detailed summary on how my babies were doing and if they took their medicine. This really helped put my mind at ease! I would definitely rehire Sonia again.”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was five years old. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly believe every creature, big or small, deserves kindness, patience, and love. I take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care and making sure each pet feels safe and happy while their family is away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or just a little extra attention, I’ll treat your pets like my own. Right now, I’m also working toward a special goal—starting a small savings fund to take my children on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Galápagos Islands, where we can experience the incredible wildlife together. I currently work full-time, but I’m available weekdays before 9 a.m. and after 3 p.m., as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m also available for overnight stays any day of the week. When I care for animals in my clients’ homes, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their family is away. I follow each pet’s regular schedule as closely as possible—feeding them on time, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and affection, and keeping their routines consistent. I take time to learn their personalities and any little quirks or preferences they have, whether that means a certain walking route, a favorite toy, or just extra cuddle time on the couch. I keep food and water bowls clean, tidy up after them, and send regular updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“We’ve used Rover a couple of times and Giovanni is by far the best. He looked after Floyd for two weekends running and was always on time, taking Floyd on walks and playing with Floyd. The pictures Giovanni sent showed Floyd really enjoyed his time with Giovanni. I will be using Giovanni always going forward and couldn’t recommend him highly enough!!”
“Sara did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She even was able to stick to our dogs complicated feeding schedule. I had peace of mind knowing Sara was checking on dog.”
“First time leaving our kitten in someone else’s care and we couldn’t have been happier. Ann was super attentive, thoughtful and kept us thoroughly updated. Most importantly, our Violet was well taken care of and had a great time with her! Ann will be our go-to the next time we need help.”
“Lawrence was amazing with our dog Kika! She can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately took to Lawrence! He was very consistent and timely with his drop-in visits! Lawrence provided fantastic communication, sending updates, videos and photos during each drop-in visit! I loved seeing my dog so happy! Lawrence took care of Kika with the utmost kindness and attention! We would absolutely recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
About: All my life I have lived with cats and dogs, so I have a lot of experience in taking care of pets and will be happy to help you I love animals very much and thanks to my home work schedule I help other people during their travels. In my profile you can see the calendar and free dates for boarding your pet and I will be happy to help you.

Sheila cared for our cats again and did a great job as usual. They are always happy and healthy when we get home, and while we're gone, we get to enjoy her great personalized updates and photos. Sheila's always easy to communicate with. She accomodated a mid-trip change of plans this time with no problems. Thanks again for being such a caring sitter.
Tiffany is very thoughtful and sweet with my two weirdos! She stayed overtime to make sure they ate properly, also helped me take care of the house when I was gone. Of course she’s very responsive and communicative. Tiffany goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Tiffany to help again!
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Joli has been amazing from the first message, to her check in and pictures, to leaving our home in better order than she found it, to communicating to schedule more visits. I was really looking for someone who was not just great with my boys, but also demonstrated professionalism, accountability and that I could find trustworthy of handling the responsibility of caring for my babies. Joli has been the sitter I was hoping for! Thank you so much, Joli, for helping me have peace of mind for much needed time away! Looking forward to having you stay with the boys for many more trips!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Duarte stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
