About: I have cared for animals the majority of my life. In a personal as well as professional capacity. Previously, I worked for a dog daycare/boarding facility in northern Virginia which allowed me to work with dogs of different sizes and temperament. I have volunteered on and off over the years at various shelters and ranches. I currently have a certificate of completion to be a Veterinary Assistant and am looking forward to continuing my education in animal care. I work full time from home which allows me the freedom to care for my own fur babies without issue. My evenings and weekends leave me open to care for your fur babies! I have a large non-fenced backyard with a 100’ dog lead. I do supervise while my dog is on the lead to ensure their safety.
About: Throughout my teen years, I’ve taken care of many pets; from training my puppies to caring for relatives’ pets. No matter the circumstances, I always have a fun time caring for these pets. I’m on the hunt for a part time job so I’m available all the time to care for pets! What better to do than doing something I love? I have three dogs at home and big yard but as we warm my dogs up to playing with others as part of their puppy training, we’ll keep your pets in your home.
“Aimee was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel super comfortable by stopping in for a quick visit with myself and the puppy. During her visit she sent lots of pictures and was prompt with her arrival time. Will use her again!!”
“Alyssa did amazing! My request was short notice and she was able to accommodate her schedule time to drop in with Pongo. Loved the updates, and she has a great communication. Thank you so much for helping.”
“Kate did a great job with our little dog Betsy. She was able to accommodate our last minute request. She sent us pictures at every visit and it was great to see Betsy taken care of (which allows us to enjoy ourselves..). Definitely recommend!”
About: For the past 4 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking for multiple families and have 3 dogs of my own and 3 cats. I have two boxers and a great dane, and I am a true animal lover and would be thrilled to be able to take care of your fur babies! I am a very available, I do work night shift 2-3 nights a week 7pm-7:30 am. I am usually up early as well and open to any times. At other people’s homes I make sure to follow whatever rules are given, and I respect boundaries that are given as well. Along with that, I always keep watch on animals that I am walking and or sitting.
“Ashley and her wife have been absolutely wonderful with my dog Taz. They stop by Monday through Friday while I’m at work, and I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Not only do they take great care of him, but Ashley has also been working with Taz on commands, which has made such a positive difference. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! 🐾”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including both dogs and cats of all ages. My background includes everything from puppy care and training support to senior cat care with special attention to comfort and routine. As a current dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care and maintaining consistency with each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable service and ensure every pet feels secure and well-cared for in their owner's absence. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can care for your pets at the time that suits them (and you) best and maintains their routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet, keeping their environment calm and familiar. I also maintain clear communication with owners, providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels secure and cared for, and that you feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I could walk! I’ve trained my own puppy and taken care of senior dogs. I have patience and love for animals that sets me apart! I am currently a teacher looking for a summer job, which means my schedule is very open throughout the summer months! I am available for daytime visits, walks, feedings, and pet care throughout the week. While I prefer weekdays, I am flexible and may be available on weekends when needed. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who will treat your home, dog, or cat with the same care, respect, and love that I would give my own pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life. I can’t help but love on dogs. They have so much to offer and live so deeply. I work full time during the week. Once I’m home and on weekends I am all about loving on my own Willow! We love to play and go for walks as much as possible. Usually by bedtime we are both exhausted. I do not have a fenced yard but we live in a quiet development. Since we are in the back it is safe. Dogs can have free roam of the house if they are potty trained. We do have small area sectioned off for our own pup that we can use if not potty trained. Our own pup is crated trained and in her crate when we aren’t there as well as at night. We prefer the same.
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’m Tyler and I am a freshman in college. I have been walking and sitting dogs for neighbors and family since I was little. I’ve started going to more abroad when I got my car in highschool and since then I’ve been sitting overnight, walking in the day, and much more. I have had many dogs over my life all different sizes and some over 100 pounds so I’ve seen it all and know what it’s like. I’ve walked over hundreds of dogs already and hope your dog can be my next. I’m reprisals, caring, loving, and most of all so compassionate for dogs. Please consider me as your next booking! I am in school currently but anytime after 6:15 I can do walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the week. For the weekends mainly all day Saturday I can do walks and drop ins but only Sunday mornings from 9-12 I can do walks and drop ins. I can do overnights some Saturdays and Sundays I’d just have to let you know my schedule. I won’t have a home to take care of pets in so I only do walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home since I’m a student in school
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits! I’ve worked for 5 years in a clinic supporting a veterinary team providing treatment and wellness to all types of animals. In 5 years I learned how to read an animal’s body language and how to engage with all kinds of temperaments. I have previously worked in a kennel where I maintained the health and wellbeing of boarding animals with scheduled feeding, medication, and exercise. I’ve worked with non profits like the United States Humane Society working in a high volume setting providing medical care to numerous dogs and cats while advocating for animal welfare and wellness. I’m available for walks and house visits. I’m also available to provide daily feedings in the early mornings or the evenings 7 days a week if needed. My love and dedication to animals is one of the reasons I pursued this opportunity. I have had numerous experiences working with a variety of animals in different environments which makes me a great candidate to be entrusted with your pet! I’m always aware of my surroundings especially when working with animals in an unknown environment. I ensure your fur babies are safe and secured at all times with me.

Denise did an amazing job watching my dog, Piston! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making him comfortable and happy while I was away. I came back to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t ask for more. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elmer stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
