“Linda was great! We reached out last minute and on a holiday no less and she was timely, communicative, and very friendly. She went above and beyond and even texted hours later to check in on our fur babies. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Venita was so good to our pups. We had some last minute changes and she was so flexible and worked with us to get things taken care of. She sent pictures and played with the doggies. We have an old dog who we are always concerned about leaving. We felt so comfortable leaving knowing Venita was going to be here every day, twice a day!”
“Emily was extremely communicative — she went above and beyond with what was asked of her and I was very grateful to have her taking care of my babies. She administered eyedrops like a champ (even to my difficult child) and spent extra time making sure they were comfortable and loved. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets truly brightens my day, and I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, energy levels, and personalities, and I’m happy to tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort and happiness. Pet care is a structured part of my weekly routine. I intentionally plan my schedule to allow for consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I adjust as needed to meet each pet’s specific needs. I care for pets by prioritizing their routine, comfort, and safety. I follow all client instructions carefully and communicate clearly to ensure peace of mind.
About: My family always had dogs growing up, so I've been around them my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I've had them both since they were puppies. Brodee (a small lapdog) is now a spry 13 year old. Watson (a big moose) is now a very good 5 year old boy. Between the two of them, I've handled everything from puppy zoomies to senior-dog routines, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or energy level. ——— I went through obedient training with Watson. This strengthened my understanding of how direct interactions can shape relationships with dogs. Our bond is really strong. ——— I regularly care for friend's dogs when they're out of town. Including feeding, freshwater, playtime, walks, and yes, cleanung up any messes without a second thought. Your dog's routine stays their routine while you're away. ——— Fair warning; I'm the person who asks "can I pet your dog?" to every single dog I see, then I end up lying on the ground letting them climb all over me. Your dog will get genuine, enthusiastic attention here, not just a bowl refill and a bathroom break. For weekdays, I am mostly available right in the morning and the later evening. I could make midday work with more planning. Weekends are pretty open. Feeding & Water I follow your dogs existing schedule and portions. I know how important it is to keep the dog's water available and their food reliable. They have amazing sense of time and they want their food when they expect it. --- Medication My senior dog as to take medication twice daily, so I am very familiar with how important timing of medication is. --- Exercise & Playtime Depending on the need of service, I may be the only contact your dog has for the day, so I want to make that time as enjoyable and exciting as possible for them. I get down on the floor with them and play. Tug, fetch, belly rubs, whatever your dog is into. --- Clean-Up Accidents happen! I handle messes promptly so they don't get any worse. --- Communication I can provide updates and photos as requested so you can have the piece of mind knowing that your little ones are being cared for while you are away.

Recently retired - I'm very happy I get to hang out with these furry guys whenever I want! I can make myself available pretty much anytime as a result! I offer in home visits, walking, overnight stays and basic training. We have had in home pet care for years. The single most important thing for me was always TRUST and RELIABILITY. That is who I am. Our sitters always sent us pics every time they visited - I am happy to offer you the same thing if you wish. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. My experience has taught me that positive reinforcement ALWAYS works. All these furry friends know instinctually who loves them.

About: I’ve been helping care for dogs since I was about 13 years old. I grew up with four dogs ranging from a large Black Lab (my baby Roxy) to small terriers (my little rat dog peanut). I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’ve helped train dogs, walked dogs, and have pet sat for people outside of my family and friends. I also cared for dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years. I also have experience giving oral medication, including hiding medicine in treats when possible. I absolutely love animals and especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a full time college student, but I’m available after 2:30 PM every weekday. I’m also available most of the weekend, except Sundays from 9 AM to 12 PM. My schedule works well for afternoon and evening walks, drop ins, playtime, and house sitting. I also have my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home and keep up with your pet’s normal routine. Safety, trust & environment: I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your pet. Since I offer care in your home, I will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other needs your pet may have. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors.

About: I've grown up with lots of animals my whole entire life. From dogs and cats to even horses and parrots. I currently own 3 wonderful dogs, and train and compete with my dogs in AKC rally and obedience, and specialize in dog agility, which I have been doing since the age of seven. I deeply care for all animals and have a great knowledge on animals and their behavior from working vet care and in behavioral training. I also respect and strictly follow the care and directions given to me by a pet's owner. I also consider myself to be quite physically fit and able to keep up with and handle the wildest of dogs, including reactive ones who need extra attention and a watchful eye. Overall, I am responsible, easy to contact, and pay good attention to detail. As a writer with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide pet care at various times throughout the day. I balance my writing work with taking care of my own animals, which allows me to offer reliable and consistent care for your pets. Whether it’s midday visits, walks, or feeding, I can adjust my availability to meet your pets’ needs, ensuring they’re well cared for while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize routine, enrichment, and stability to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow a structured routine, including regular feeding times, exercise, and mental stimulation through activities like play and training, tailored to each pet's needs. For dogs, I incorporate walks and training exercises to keep them physically and mentally engaged, while for cats, I focus on providing a calm environment with interactive play and comfort. I strictly adhere to the care instructions given by pet owners, ensuring that pets receive the same structure and attention they're used to, minimizing stress and creating a stable, enriching experience.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Springs
There is so much I can say about Ally but the words just won’t be enough. Ally was absolutely amazing with my dog, Snickers. I did not have to worry one bit as the care and photos shared gave me the peace of mind I needed. She exceeded my expectations and I could tell Snickers was looking for her the next day after I was home lol. My dog is older, takes meds, and has limited hearing, and she took great care of him. I highly recommend Ally and will use her for all of my pet sitting needs moving forward!
Danielle was incredible. We had some last minute changes to our pet household before leaving for out of town, but Danielle handled it all beautifully. She is very detailed and thorough and will make sure your pets are well taken care of. Without such a skilled sitter, we might’ve canceled our trip, but we knew our pets were in good hands with Danielle. Don’t hesitate to book with her.
Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!

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.
