“This was our first time using Will’s services and we’ll definitely have him back! He kept our puppy entertained and safe while we had to be out for a few hours and was very flexible with timing. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve cared for my own animals since 2014 and have experience with everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to wise senior dogs. Whether it’s a gentle walk, senior dog snuggles, kitty playtime, or keeping your big pup exercised and happy, I’ve got you covered—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures along the way. I am also experienced with dog aggressive/reactive dogs and able to provide a safe space for them to relax & play. I appreciate meeting clients and their animals before agreeing to any services. The more you can tell me about your pet and their temperament the better I will be able to care for them. All dogs must be house trained. All cats must be litter trained. The pet care I offer is customized from client to client based on our schedules and the animals needs. Happy to have a conversation about it! I have an unfenced yard with 2 acres to explore and play on if your pup is not dog friendly. I also have the rail trail very close by for walks. Pets are allowed on the furniture (how else can they get snuggles??) & can easily crate a pup if needed.
About: I love dogs and am available for drop ins and walks! I've got two golden retrievers of my own and this gives me a chance to love on even more pets! I'm currently a stay at home mom after recently relocating to the area so I have wide swaths of availability. Ready to meet your needs! I'm happy to do dog walks in your neighborhood. I can also do home visits where I play in the house or yard and offer plenty of love and attention.
“Meagan went above and beyond as a pet sitter for our cat, Sprite! We could tell from the photos shared that Sprite quickly warmed up to Meagan and had a wonderful time while we were gone for the week. I would definitely rebook Meagan in the future. She was respectful of our home, grabbed our mail for us, and even tended to our veggie garden! Couldn’t ask for more.”
“I could not recommend Jaime more! She was absolutely lovely and very compassionate with both of my dogs. She dealt with road closures and a few hiccups with the flooding/bad storms we had in Vermont during the week of her sitting but was very communicative and helpful throughout the week. I had never left my dogs with anyone but family/close friends prior to having her dog sit and will most definitely be hiring her again. You can tell she truly loves animals and cares about them.”
About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life! I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors as well as family since I was 14. I am a total animal lover and look forward to being around them. I’m also a medically focused student for those who may have an elderly dog or one that needs a little extra care or medicine administrations. I’ve also been a house sitter for families and friends in my general area for many years! I am back in college for the year! My schedule for classes will vary but it’s pretty flexible and I have good chunks of time in between. I was able to make it work perfectly last year! I always do my best to give the pet my undivided attention. I enjoy hanging out with the pups, whether they want to play or just want to cuddle for a bit. I pride myself on being on time with bathroom breaks, meals, and walks to make sure the dogs are getting 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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
