“Tonya was a kind and responsible caretaker of our senior cat while we were away for a week. (she also watered our plants!) We got daily adorable pictures, and communication with her was quick and easy. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Autumn was the best! Very reliable and provided updates with photos. I will definitely be requesting Autumn in the future! I felt so at ease being miles away from home. Thank you Autumn!”
About: My husband and I are full time, insured dog professionals offering a multitude of dog services (boarding, day care, training, transport, import). I have cared for everything from Frenchies to Malinois to Mastiffs. We live on a farmette and our back yard backs up to our pastures for our pigs, sheep, chickens and horses, so your pups will always have something interesting to look at! I understand the need for consistency with all dogs and my current clients love coming to their farm vacations because of it! We provide a huge fenced yard that was fenced specifically for dogs with three board wood and pet fencing in between, as well as a separate quiet room that the dogs stay in while unable to be watched for their safety (we do have air conditioning in our home since that is a frequently asked question for the brachycephalic breeds). We never have unfamiliar dogs alone together and each dog family has their own space to be able to rest, relax and eat between being outside and playing alone or in a group depending on their needs. Boarding with us provides you with the professionalism and safety of a kennel but the personal touch and care of a home while you are away. Chews, toys and treats are provided with owner approval and photos and videos are sent on a regular basis if you want to ensure your babies are having a blast at “camp”. I am home all day and able to meet the needs of puppies or senior dogs who need frequent outdoor time and I am able to give all other dogs ample outdoors time, either alone or with my very friendly Chessie as a playmate. My husband and I are experienced with all behavior types, and monitor all interactions to ensure your dog is safe and enjoying social time. During busy seasons, we can accommodate multiple clients as long as everyone is friendly. I also have the ability to take reactive dogs and give them plenty of alone time both inside and outside. No dogs are ever left unmonitored while outside or while interacting with other dogs if they are able to do so. Health and safety is the first priority with fullilment being a close second! I am a full time dog professional, so your dog won’t ever be unattended for long periods of time (if ever). Dogs are our priority from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. Please also note that our drop off times are between the hours of 830am and 7pm and by scheduled appointment only- this allows us time to complete our morning routine the day of check in and ensure your pups are coming into a quiet and relaxed environment. Pick up times are more flexible, but we do not do any pick ups later than 9pm most nights and also need to be scheduled, thank you! Please note in the upcoming holiday season: I do not offer drop off or pick up times on major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, NYE, New Year’s Day) but we do offer boarding over those holidays! thank you for understanding! I have a large fenced yard and can provide your dog with other doggy playmates, but I can also accommodate dogs who don’t enjoy other canine companions or only prefer humans. I have the ability to safely crate dogs who do best in crates, and separate everyone for naps/feeding etc. During times that I am unable to monitor our dogs, all of them are separated to ensure that all interactions are able to be regulated and safe (my dogs are crated at night and while I am gone).
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cat Ghost. She fed him, gave him meds, changed his litter, and changed his water twice a day. Also, gave plenty of pets and some brushing. We were also given updates on his eating and litter box habits and got plenty of photos. His area was nice and clean and he was a happy boy when we got home. Would 100% recommend!”
“Kevin is great! He took care of our two dogs over a holiday and was right on time, always left an update, and the dogs seem to be happy! I would recommend Kevin to take care of anybody’s pets.”
“Sabrina is a gem. Rocky immediately loved her. She's incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about animals. Clear communication, she asked the right questions during the meet and greet, and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our boy. We will definitely look to her for any future dog sitting needs. 💯 Recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, family members, and others’ dogs. I love animals! I have two energetic Australian shepherds I care for. One requires daily medication, so I am comfortable administering medicines as well! I have cared for all different dog breeds, from beagle mixes to golden retrievers to yellow labs to pit bull mixes to Bichon Frise. I’m a young professional looking to stay active! I have lots of time to care for and walk your pets in between patient care! And lots of weekend availability, too! I prefer to keep the dog in his/her natural environment. I am comfortable using harnesses and leashes! Comfortable walking the dog and/or letting them out in a fenced in yard.
“We were so happy to have Delaney care for our 2 kittens while we were away. We loved hearing her daily reports on their activities and seeing her pictures. She was also able to administer their medicine. We could tell they received lots of love and were well cared for with Delaney!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog, cat, or other pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply giving extra attention to senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that keeps pets happy and stress-free. Im currently working part time right now so I have a lot of extra free time on my hand & would love to take care of all animals during my free time Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. I’ll make sure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and a clean environment. I’ll also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I would give my own.
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“Deborah was wonderful with our cat and bird! Very caring, calm, and communicative. We also asked about a last-minute change in time (if possible) and she was so accommodating. Thank you!”
“Molly is a such an amazing person! She loves our fur baby as much as we do and I couldn't be happier or feel more comfortable knowing he's in her great caring hands!”
“Suzanne exceeded every expectation when caring for our dog. She treats our girl just like her own dog and goes out of her way to make sure that Harper’s needs are met and she is cared for as if she were her own dog! We highly recommend Suzanne to assist in any pet care needs you may have!”
“Tricia was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our fur babies while we were out of town. She administered medicine for our elderly German Shepherd and is great with pets that require special care. We are really grateful to have someone dependable, like Tricia, to watch them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

This was my first time reaching out to Autum. I was glad to meet her in person prior to her watching my 2 kittens. She is friendly and professional. She asked all the right questions and was concerned about their safety and the safety of my home. Appreciate her professionalism and wonderful updates on my kittens.

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.
