“We had Nicole watch our two cats (one a new playful kitty and the other an older cat who was quite sad after losing her companion weeks before) for 5 days as well as do some watering in our gardens. She and her partner did a fantastic job. We were worried leaving the cats but she was easy to communicate with, sent regular updates, and took care of everything that was asked of her. We would definitely use her again to care for our cats!”
“Sienna was a great sitter! She was reliable, took great care of our dogs and cats, and communicated wonderfully throughout our trip with updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Sienna!”
About: I am a very intuitive, animal lover. I have been nurturing dog, cats and farm animals for many years. I am comfortable loving on and caring for all kinds of furry and not so furry friends… I'm available early mornings, afternoons and weekends (after 3:00pm) in addition to overnights. I'm flexible and willing to work with your needs. As I'll be coming to you, I am comfortable with all housing types and pet situations whether they are free to roam, indoor or outdoor, or crated.
“We really had peace of mind working with Colleen! Nico was well-cared for and communication with Colleen was great. We’re so glad we discovered each other and we recommend her pet care!”
“Lois, did a fabulous job caring for our 2 dogs. We had originally hired her for 1 potty break during the day which at last minute turned into a 2 potty break day. She was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended Lois”
“Brittany is amazing! She takes great care of my two large breed dogs (one puppy, and one senior). She is kind, great with the pups, and leaves great notes and pictures! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are home a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.
“Brandy was the best Petsitter ever! She gave both my rat terrier Annie and my kitty Lucy lots of love and attention, the pictures she took say a thousand words. She is the first sitter I’ve had who truly cares about Lucy and understands my often shy and quiet cat. They were both very happy when we came home, and were obviously well taken care of. The best thing were the detailed notes Brandy sent me, telling me what they did together and how things were going at each visit. I’ll definitely hire her again!”
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”

About: i’ve taken care of a range of pets since i was born from ferrets to raccoons, i love all animals and believe they all deserve to be treated with care. Every now and then I work on sundays or wednesdays in the afternoon, however i’m more than happy to work around it and come before or after! I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. Pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision, and I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away.
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, and my mom is a veterinarian. I currently have 3 dogs, a desert tortoise, and a bearded dragon and have taken care of goats in the past so I am comfortable taking care of any pet. I am currently working at Target on Bell Road. I am able to take care of pets at your house or take them for walks, but may need to leave them for 4-8 hours on some days. I hope I am a good fit and I can't wait to take care of your furry family members! I am able stay at your house but because I work at Target, I may need to leave the house for 4-8 hours every day. I am able to accommodate whatever your pet needs. And I am comfortable with crate training pets and giving oral medications. Since my Mom works in the veterinary industry she is available if I ever have a question about a pets care.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They are a part of our family. I even have experience with k9 cops. I’ve had Dutch and German Shepherds, Rottweilers and mixed breeds down to a tea cup Pomeranian. I’m consistent in both my love and my expectations, so the animal is not confused. They communicate with us through Body language and I know how to read it. We recent (2 years ago) rescued our girl from the shelter when she was 10 months old, no one believes we haven’t had her since day one. We love animals. I do ask that your dog be clean/bathed and brushed along with trimmed/grinded nails before you bring them to my home. I’m self employed and mostly work form home. If I do have to leave it’s only for an hour or so. I make my own schedule. I have a fenced area and we live on an acre of land in a private community with 22 miles of trails. We have 5 children ages 1-16 and they love animals, they have all been raised to love and respect them. We have a 5 year old female husky to be buddies with your fur baby. We have a huge Recreation field to run free and play at and a lake to swim in if they want.
About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.
About: I was the owner operator of a pet salon for over 20 years with a loyal following based on the quality of care their fur babies recieved. Your dogs will go on walks and have the opportunity to check their peemail. They will enjoy playtime, naps and lots of cuddles. I simply love animals and they will let you know. I am currently working from home M-F with a very flexible work schedule. I understand the importance of keeping fur babies on a schedule with feeding and walks to help them feel safe and loved while in my care. I follow directions well. I live in a cute home with a fully fenced back yard. My 4 legged guests will have indoor outdoor access and full usage of all the homes amenities. I am prepared to set healthy boundries for furniture use at your request, otherwise they will have the freedom to be where they feel most comfortable. My schedule is flexible. Im working remotely from home part time. The fur babies in my care are nutured and loved. That's why I'm a Rover. Safety is my highest priority. I have a fully fenced yard, and firmly believe that playtime is an essential part of enhancing the lives of happy healthy fur babies.
“Amanda is Amazing.. Her service’s & communication was above & beyond, totally exceeded our expectations. We just moved to the area so finding a pet sitter & someone to trust with our loved kitties girls (and house) is not something to be taken lightly. That feeling went away as soon as we met her. She asked all the questions and surprisingly remembered it all.. Added bonus she cared for our plants & garden! Will DEFINITELY be using her again.”
About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.

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.
