“I highly recommend Jessica! Jessica does a wonderful job caring for pets! She videos her visits and keeps the owner posted in a timely manner. My quirky dogs enjoyed her visits so much! She provided scheduled medications and feedings and potty breaks as requested during stormy weather and hectic holiday schedules! How wonderful to be able to have our pets at home with someone so professional and reliable! We will call on her again”
“Patricia has been a lifesaver for our family. With a change in our working schedule (one spouse no longer working remotely) and traveling, we needed a person to let our dog out mid-day. She is responsive to our needs and our dog enjoys his breaks with her.”
“Cammie was super sweet to my little dogs which made me feel better leaving them at home!! I felt totally comfortable with her in the house! Would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m a local mom, animal lover, and lifelong dog enthusiast! 🐾❤️ Our family sadly lost our sweet dog this summer, and while our hearts aren’t quite ready to welcome a new puppy of our own, we have so much love left to give! I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for yours! I’m offering dog walking, pet sitting, and check-in services for busy families, working professionals, or anyone who needs an extra helping hand with their furry family members. Whether your pup needs a neighborhood walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a loving place to stay while you’re away, I’d love to help! I know firsthand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I would my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! 🐶💕 I have a very flexible schedule for the most part. I am a real estate agent and a mom to twin boys who are in school full time. I can easily pop over to your home or have your dog to our house as well. My yard is almost completely fenced in except for our driveway. I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. I am happy to let your dog run free inside at our home or crate. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Mason is wonderful! He took great care of my cats while I was out of town and made sure they were loved on. He is transparent, easy to communicate with, and provides great visit reports and photos. You’ll be at ease knowing he is watching your fur babies and they will be well taken care of.”
About: I am a lifelong cat lover with over 20 years of experience ensuring cats of all ages are well cared for while their humans are away. I currently have two cats of my own, and previously cared for a senior cat who lived to be 19. During each 30-minute visit, I will: - provide fresh food and water (and clean up afterward) - scoop the litter box - brush/comb your fur babies - provide playtime and companionship - fulfill additional requests as agreed upon My goal is to keep your cats happy and relaxed so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I work from home full-time, so I can visit your home during the time you request. If you choose boarding at my house, I am available for them all the time. I have spare room for your cats if you choose to boarding. Your cats will have a safe and quiet room with window view by themselves.
About: I really enjoy spending time with furry friends and provide a lot of attention and care to them. I am attentive to their behavior and emotional state and communicate everything to owners immediately. My perfect fit would be mature dogs with moderate to low energy levels, that are quiet and like to cuddle. I don't do well with highly anxious dogs but can provide a good level of support to slightly/moderately anxious dogs. I can provide regular exercise in a form of the walk as often as needed but am unable to take the doggy out more often than every 3 hours. About me: I'm quiet, responsible, and easygoing. Don't have visitors often. I like to draw, do something crafty and read! Prefer a quiet environment. My parents live with me too. My dad works full time, but my mom is almost always home. I'm have flexible schedule and often work at home, so your pet won't be left alone very often. And if we do need to leave, it would only be a few hours and I would mention it to the owners to make sure it is okay. I can provide potty breaks every 3-4 hours but prefer dogs that can stay alone without potty break for 4-6 hours just in case. I will do what I can to accommodate your pet's needs! We have double door and I usually a bit anxious about safety and concern about dogs running away. I will also make sure there is nothing unsafe on the floors before pup arrives.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and have worked with a wide variety of temperaments of dog throughout my life. I believe I have a good understanding of dog behavior because of this I am currently looking for much more stable employment, but because of this, I am free pretty much every day of the week. My schedule is widely open. I have two dogs who lived in a fenced in yard. Both are super sweet, if funny dogs who can be very needy for attention and will let me know when they need food. I have learned how dogs act throughout the years, even if the two I have are more chatty
About: I have two dogs in my own and have taken care of numerous different breeds in my neighborhood, along with family and friends. I enjoy taking walks and enjoy spending time with all types of dogs I am currently unemployed for the past 20 years I’ve been raising my kids. Looking for a job! I have a very flexible schedule. I love spending my time with dogs. Make sure they are happy and loved. Feed and make sure they get enough food, water and affection. Most of all exercise love and safety
“Diane is the BEST! So caring, loving of my fur babies. And genuinely cares about them. Always get updates on her visits along with photos just makes it so much easier being out of town knowing that their getting the best care possible!”
About: Greetings!!! my name is Tom and I love animals. With me, you will be in peace knowing that your best friend is in good hands. With many years of experience taking care of doggies and kitties, I grew up surrounded by animals and giving them unconditional love. I understand that leaving your baby is a hard decision and I want you to know that we (my family and I ) will make this transition as easy as possible. Here they will be fed, walked, bathed (upon request) and they will have a chance to socialize with other pets. Vaccination records are required as we want everyone to have a safe and happy experience in our place. In addition to my devotion to pet care, my wife and my kids work opposite shifts to ensure there is always someone at home and our furry friends are well taken care for. I have a fenced space at home as well as a large yard, and if needed and/or requested, I can crate your furry friend to ensure everyone’s safety and well being
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I am able to administer meds or whatever is needed. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.

Cindy is absolutely wonderful with our pups. We have two elderly girls who require a bit extra, including diapers and limited mobility, and Cindy has no problem with these added complexities. She is a great communicator too! It makes us so much more comfortable knowing our dogs are well taken care of when we are out of town. I highly recommend Cindy!
Elisabeth was incredible with our pets and went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for while we were away. She is reliable and was so caring for our animals with all their needs. Highly recommended and we will definitely work with Elisabeth in the future!
Lawton took such amazing care of my fur babies and my home while I was away on business. She was a wonderful communicator throughout, sending pictures, videos, and daily report cards that gave me peace of mind and reassurance that everyone was happy and well cared for. This was my first time using Rover, and Lawton made it such a great experience. I will definitely be a repeat customer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!
I felt very comfortable having Beth care for Willow. They seemed to form a friendly bond immediately. Beth adhered to my suggested schedule of visits and prompted forwarded me information about those visits. Please compliment Beth and apply a $10 tip. Thank you!

- 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.

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 .
