About: All my life I've had all kinds of animals. And all my life there has always been at least a dog or more of all sizes in my household. I am a stay at home mom so being there for you pet is like a walk in the park (or literally). You know your pup is in good hands 😁 I have plenty of references that can reassure you I am a big animal person. I loved volunteering when I was a teenager and almost became a vet but chose the art lifestyle until the mom lifestyle choose me.
“Abigail was great. Set up a pre visit meeting and had excellent communication. She showed up exactly when scheduled, took Ida for a walk and played in the backyard. She also left a great description oh her visit. Highly recommend.”
About: Hello, I’m Cassidy, I’ve had dogs of my own and many years of helping family and friends with their animals. Animals as we know are the best and I’d be more than happy to help anyone out with theirs. I’m currently working a job at night, therefore throughout the day, I am free and ready to help anytime! I can be flexible and work around your schedules and mine. Your pet is my top priority when taking this job and I will ensure a safe and fun visit for your fur babies. I will listen to what needs to be done and complete the task.
About: For all my life I’ve always enjoyed taking care and helping animals. Whether it be a wild bird or baby rabbit to a domestic dog, cat, or parrot to animals such as a chicken or a horse. I have many years of experience with many different animals, breeds, species, etc. I tend to be very organized, clean, and tidy. I also hold to a schedule. Whatever it may be, I will try to accommodate the best I can. Pet care works very well with me being retired and available at the owners need for their companion. Whether it be Daily or weekly or monthly whatever is needed, I will accommodate. I will be able to watch and tend to your pet in your home or your yard or neighborhood. I have the convenience of traveling where I need to be.
“Jenna was so great with my 2 cats! Their food, water, and litter was well taken care of and the cats seemed happy when I returned after almost 2 weeks away. Even my hidey cat came out for Jenna! I’d definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Melanie and Addison, thank you so much for watching my dogs over the weekend. Your communication and notes were nice to work with, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave them.”
“Renee went above and beyond for my kitties on our 11 day vacation! Her daily reports were very detailed and she took the best pics of them so I could see them every day 🥰She even helped out with some outdoor decorations which were getting battered by the nor’easter!! Her communication and willingness to help was so awesome while we were out of the country- I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking to hire from Rover 🥰”
“My fur baby loved Andrea, and having her do drop in really took the stress out this weekend. She was really great at communicating and sending updates! My cats that’s typically avoid strangers at all cost even greeted her! Highly recommend and would book with her again ❤️”
“Katelynn is one of the best rovers I have gotten to work with. She shows genuine care and concern for our pup! She has saved us a few times last minute which is so helpful with our schedule.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child. Although I don't have any of my right now, I love caring for my sister's two chows and my aunt's three dogs when she's out of town. I've got experience working with all kinds of dogs, from high-energy pups to elderly ones needing extra care. Whether putting diapers on the older pups or helping with post-surgery recovery, I'm always happy to lend a helping hand to our furry friends. While I hold a standard 8-5 job during the weekdays, my schedule allows me to offer support during evenings, overnight, and weekends. On weekends, I can provide all-around care. I follow the client's instructions regarding the animal's care and regularly update clients on their pets. Although the pets will miss their owners, I will distract them 24/7 with walks, treats, and attention while maintaining their daily schedule. Lastly, I respect the animal's boundaries.
About: Open for appointments for the summer 2026!💗 -22 years old college student at ECSU - Experience in caring for dogs, cats, & farm animals 🐔 -Future Ultrasound Technician 🤍 I am a full-time student and I usually end classes between 12-3 pm. I am completely free in the evenings and nights to take care of your furry friends as you get things done and enjoy your day! I have a fenced yard with lots of space for your dog to run around. In the home, there is space as well and my little sister who loves dogs! I will also be there the entire time keeping your furry friend company and safe.

About: As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide more than basic care. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in your absence while maintaining the routines and expectations they are accustomed to at home. I understand the importance of secure handling, appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and respecting each dog’s individual temperament. I am especially passionate about caring for working and high-drive breeds, including dogs that may require experienced handling, structured routines, or additional enrichment. I also understand that some dogs can be sensitive to changes in environment or routine, and I strive to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. Your pets are part of your family, and I treat their care with the same seriousness, attention, and respect I would expect for my own animals. My years of experience with working dogs allow me to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and individualized care for dogs that need someone who truly understands them. Running my own farm allows me the freedom and flexibility to accommodate almost any routines needed for daily walks or drop ins or house sitting. I’ll provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic household care. With 25 years of experience working with animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines.
About: I have been taking care of dogs of all types for 5 years. I currently own a Rottweiler and 2 German Shepards. I love to take dogs on walks and my husband is a fantastic bather. I can accommodate all breeds, shapes and sizes and can care for even the most of need of care. I have a large yard with a small dog friendly pool for them to play in during the hot days. I have a full time job. I am available most evenings and weekends. Weekends I can board all day and during the week I could sit after 4PM. I have a fenced in yard and a dog pool to keep fur babies cool during the hot days. I have a small bathing area with temperature controls, I can also dry the dogs with a blow dryer.
About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets. I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated. My schedule is accommodating so I'm open to last minute bookings and can guarantee quality time with your pet. Please feel free to text or call. Look forward to meeting and getting to know your pup. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for sitting most weekdays and weekends just let me know what days you need. I will be happy to take your dog for a walk on a leash during the day or let them run around in a fenced yard if you have one. I can easily crate them if you need me to.
About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. Can host only NON-SHEDDING BREEDS, due to family allergies. Must be house broken/trained (to potty outside), with the exception of puppies. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care stairs, I will ensure stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary unless that is your preference. Being on the furniture or bed in our home is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous for any reason such as thunderstorms, loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.

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.

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 use the 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.
