About: I’ve worked for a doggy day care and boarding facility. I also have owned pups my entire life. I love pups and would love to take care of yours! I am available anytime to play with and care for your pups! I can work around any schedule 7 days a week. Whatever is convenient for you just let me know. I have 2 pup friendly fur babies if your pups would like to play with them. If not my pups are well crate trained and I have an extra room if needed for my pups to go into!
“Celleste always takes such great care of our pets while we are away, and she communicates with us wonderfully throughout. Highly recommend working with her; she’s the best!”
“Ashley was amazing with my older terrier who can be temperamental. He got to go for walks and have playtime with Ashley. So thankful for her and her care for my Dudley! We will definitely ask for Ashley next time we have need of services! Highly recommend!!”
“Marcus is amazing 🤩 my babies loved him. He’s very sweet and I felt very comfortable knowing he was taking great care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
About: I enjoy pet sitting in my free time. I also have a residential cleaning business, so sometimes they come as a package deal! I’ve had dogs my whole life; I currently have four. They’re my life and when pet parents are comfortable with it, I bring along my blue heeler pup to play with my pet sitting dogs. He tires them out in minutes lol! I make my own schedule, so I am available for drop-ins and local overnights 7 days/ week. I also typically do early morning dog walking sessions when close to my other pet clients. I focus on plenty of outside time with my pet clients, especially if they have high energy! I give plenty of love and treats and give fresh water every trip to the home.
“Brooke was responsible with my two babies and took good care of them. They are used to being in their home environment with a lot of love and I know they received that.”
“Rhianna is comfortable handling our large dogs, and consistently does a good job. She has been a pleasure to work with, and we won't hesitate to rely on her again if our primary animal sitters aren't available.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I currently have a little over 2-year-old Bernedoodle who is playful, energetic, and loves being around people and other dogs. Having a dog of my own has given me plenty of experience with the daily responsibilities that come with caring for an active pup. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing and keeping them active, or simply relaxing and giving them plenty of cuddles and attention. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. I’m currently a physical therapy student, so my schedule varies from day to day. I’m available most weekends and have availability on some weekdays after 3 PM. I’m happy to communicate my availability in advance and work with you to find a time that fits both of our schedules. I plan to provide care primarily in the pet’s home rather than boarding pets in my own home. I understand that every pet has different routines, needs, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow any instructions provided by the owner. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, while also respecting your home and keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible.
About: I foster for the Humane society and other rescues. I know animal first aid. Degree in wildlife Biology. I have two dogs of my own, and one cat. I wake up at 7 and feed and walk everyone. After they are done eating we play or cuddle depending on the pets personality. Kittens and puppies eat lunch. If you want your pet to eat three meals please ask. Evening time around 7-8 is Dinner for everyone. Between these times is when there are short walks and play. I don't have a fenced yard yet. I have two dogs at home. One is a senior shih Tzu that only wants to lay around all day. The other is a Bull terrier that is kept outside or in the garage. He gets along with female dogs only so he will be kept away from most pets. I have a cat that loves everyone including dogs. I keep her claws trimmed just in case. If there is a accident I have quick clot and other first aid available.
“Amy was great checking in on my pup, and I love that she was just as responsive as when I booked her for daycare. She sent me photo updates which I loved! I can tell she and her kids really love spending time with Lilo which is so comforting.”
“Titeara G. did an excellent job walking my dog, Coco. She was dependable, caring, and attentive, and Coco absolutely loved her! I highly recommend Titeara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker.”
About: Taken care of my medium sized dog for ~6 years. I've cat sit for many of my neighbors, cats of various temperaments and health issues. I've also done senior care (mainly memory issues & food check ins), and am an Eagle Scout. Currently unemployed, so I'm quite open to any time for cat or dog care. Within normal day time hours preferred, but no real preference otherwise. I unfortunately cannot take your pet into my home. My dog has not been acclimated enough to other pets enough for comfort. I am more than willing to help in a place they're more comfortable with.
“Andrenette was amazing! Very communicative, brought treats and left gifts for my cats!! We really appreciate her love of animals and the great attention she had for our stray outdoor cats!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all animals!! Cats, dogs, lizards, even parrots for neighbors and friends. They even recommended me to their friends and I’ve been dog sitting ever since! I love dogs especially because I have one of my own, Jaxon, he’s a chocolate lab who LOVES peanut butter and belly rubs! i currently work part-time at Singleton Community Center and a college student at Southwest Community College! i typically work in the mornings at singleton for 4 hours. i have classes from 9-2 on Mondays and Wednesdys and 12-2 on Tuesday and Thursday! i have a fenced back yard for my dog for when he needs to go outside! he’s super cuddle so he sleeps in my room and cuddles a lot!! i also play with him and his toys when he’s in a hyper mood which i would do for all the dogs i’ve dogsat!
“Carmine and Christy took such good care of our Sadie. They took time and worked with Sadie as she can be very timid. Sadie finally opened up to them and all was well.”
“April is wonderful. She quickly won over my rescue who is anxious and very wary of new people. It is clear that April understands and loves dogs. I find her regular updates very helpful and reassuring. I appreciate the attention she gives my dogs during her visits, taking the time to sit with them and pet them, and that she monitors them when they are outside for bathroom breaks. I love coming home to happy dogs and peace of mind. Highly recommend April!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing. She was willing to do a last minute meet and greet and watched my two cats for the weekend. She communicated well and made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again 💕”
About: I go above and beyond for every one of my pet owners to make sure their babies are safe, well taken care of, and spoiled!! I have experience with all breeds, of all sizes and ages as well. I do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. I also buy treats and toys (specific to your pups needs/wants). I'm currently working full time, from 8:30-3:30. So I will be with your babies in the morning from 6:30 AM to the time I go to work, come back around 3:30-4 PM, stay for a few hours, and then make one more night stop. Or, I just stay if im staying at my pet owners house. I dont do boarding but I am able to bring your babies to my house if need be whike i watch them. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (2 of which are kittens) that would love to play with them and I have kennels if necessary as well.

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.
