About: As a proud pet parent to my 2-year-old teacup Yorkie, Hailey, I understand that pets are so much more than animals—they’re family. Caring for Hailey has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands until you’re back home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. While I work a rotating schedule, I plan my calendar well in advance, allowing me to commit only to bookings that I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, with availability varying by week. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I never overbook and always make sure your furry family member receives the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure and leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, healthy, and in caring hands. My goal is for you to return home to a content pet and the peace of mind that they were treated like family every step of the way.

The check-in's & out's and photos we're very reassuring and the love Lindsey showed to our Jolene was un-measurable! We highly recommend this young lady! We will be using her services again! ❤”

About: I have always had multiple dogs in the household growing up. I have raised and trained many puppies for myself and others. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I typically work 3 days a week as a registered nurse, and my workdays vary from week to week. This gives me flexibility on my days off to care for your pets. I can coordinate my availability with your needs and will always communicate clearly about scheduling. I have 4 fur babies of my own! Two are small and two are medium to large-sized dogs (all can be crated in their own room if need be). They are part of my family, and I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I follow feeding instructions, respect each pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I am happy to discuss any special needs, preferences, or concerns you may have so you can feel confident leaving your pets in my care.

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.
