“Ryan did a great job dropping in checking on our dogs, and handled our dog that has some anxiety issues with great care. All drop ins on time with detailed notes and pictures. Would recommend to anyone needing care for their pets!”
“Tamara was amazing! We were really happy to have someone dependable and friendly to take care of our Wesley! She did great in providing everything we needed to take care of him and following all the instructions to keep Wesley safe and healthy. We are very grateful!”
“Ashlyn did an excellent job with my scaly babies (bearded dragons and geckos)! Not only did she do the required check in for each drop in visit, but she got everyone to eat without me there (something no sitter has done in 6 years). Will definitely use Ashlyn again, whenever I leave town next.”
“Heather was wonderful! Clover was well taken care of and enjoyed the walks and play time she had with Heather. We really appreciated the pictures showing that our girl was enjoying her visits. 10/10 highly recommend Heather's services!”
About: I'm a Dubuque-based house sitter and lifelong animal lover — I share my home with two cats, Oliver and Maisie and have a golden retriver named Mojo. As a healthcare worker, I'm comfortable with medication schedules, detailed routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations. Your pets get consistent care, plenty of attention, and photo updates, and your home stays clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have a fully flexible schedule right now, so I'm available for overnight stays any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime — and I keep my calendar up to date so you always know when I'm free. When I'm staying in your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it — meals, walks, litter, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and windows secured, stay reachable with photo updates, and leave your home clean and just as you left it. As a physician, I'm calm under pressure and comfortable handling medications or unexpected situations.
About: I’ve always considered myself an animal lover and I’ve had pets in my life since I was a kid. I grew up with 2 Shorkies and one Havanese. I took care of them for years and I also pet sat for friends, family and neighbors. I love all pets but I have most experience with smaller dogs. I’m currently working part time so I will have loads of time to hang out with your fur babies. I am available for walks and drop ins as needed. I don’t have any pets at the moment but that means that I can give my full attention to your pets instead. I also don’t have a yard currently but I have plenty of places to go on walks. Also I should mention that I am quite allergic to cats so I will not be able to pet sit your kitties but I totally can take care of your dogs.
“Jessica was amazing! It’s obvious she loves animals and we were able to have peace of mind because of her extensive experience with animals. We would love to have Jessica watch Clementine again!!”
About: Although I’m new to offering dog sitting services professionally, I have regularly assisted friends and family with their pets, learning how important consistency, patience, and individualized care is. Being trusted in their homes and with their animals has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m currently working a part time job where I have Tuesday’s off entirely and some days I am only working half days on certain days of the week. I am flexible with my hours and can be available most Tuesday’s and Fridays and part time on Wednesdays. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and responsibility I would expect of my own. I follow instructions carefully, maintain clear communication, and prioritize safety at all times.
About: I have been in the dog industry for many many years. I have worked in several different roles from city shelters to professional dog training. This is currently my full time job so I am openly available: Monday through Sunday. Preferably between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Thank you! I am an experienced pet owner and dog handler. I do have a fenced in yard and can house my personal dogs separately, if necessary.
About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! Training them, walking, feeding, bathing, and playing are all part of the package! I am almost available all the time. The only days I would unfortunately not be able to see your pets would be on Sunday's and sometime Saturday's for personal days. I am very patient and try to listen to what your pets tell me, but not TOO much! I will always try and make sure your pet has the best time and will be safe 😊
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
About: I am a very attentive and caring dog and cat lover! I have a huge yard and a spare bedroom for all dogs. As for cats, I have two of my own. The spare bedroom can be the cats sanctuary if they do not like other cats as it’s full of cat trees, toys, litter boxes and food and water. I work full time M-F so I would have an open schedule for your pet during the weekend! I have two loving cats who enjoy cats and dogs of all sizes! I have a huge yard for your pups, but it is not fenced in. I also have a spare bedroom for your dog or cat to take comfort in if being alone is their thing!
About: Hi! I’m Rehleigh, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love to play, snuggle on the couch, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any routines, medications, or special instructions to help them feel right at home. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available for drop-in visits during evenings & weekends and don’t mind stopping by on my lunch break. On weekdays, your pet will get plenty of love and attention before work, after work, and throughout the evening. Weekends are all about playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have over 7 years of pet sitting experience and treat every dog like they’re one of my own. I always follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay to give you complete peace of mind.

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.
