“Amarantha was AMAZING. I had anxieties about leaving my Leo over a long weekend since he's my little baby. She was very punctual and would communicate with me if she was running late. She even came in a second time since she would be late to the scheduled time to feed Leo. The pictures sent to me were awesome, and Leo seemed very well taken care of when we came back!”

“I’m so glad we went with Lizeth! She dropped in and checked on our two cats while we were away for a weekend trip. It was a last minute ask, and she pulled through! Even coming the day before to meet our littles. She has 4 cats of her own and I could tell she was comfortable with ours. Would recommend working with her and would hire again. ☺️”

About: I love all animals. I am taking dogs or cats to stay overnight. I work from home and live in a house with a small fenced yard. I have a small cat that has grown up with a dog and a small puppy. I live in a nice neighborhood for dog walks and I do need the exercise myself. Just bring the toys and the crate, and the food and your dog will have a great stay with me! I can also take cats in if I have no other dogs. There might be 1 or 2 animals at a time in my house. Ask me any questions! I look forward to meeting your pet. I work full time at home from 8 am to 5 pm. I work Monday through Friday. I do not work on the weekends. Thanks! I have a fenced in yard. I do prefer that the dog stays in a crate overnight he can accommodate other arrangements on a case by case basis. I am currently working full time from home. I wake up around 7 am and go to bed between 11 and 12. I can take the dog out during lunch. I have a fenced in yard but do not leave animals alone outside. My house is pretty safe. I keep the animals in sight at all time but usually let cats roam friendly. Dogs stay downstairs.

About: I love animals and have been around all kinds of species for my entire life. I work from home much of the week and have a fenced in yard so there's plenty of room for everyone to run around my pet friendly, secured home. Much of my house has tile floors so accidents are rarely a concern. I look forward to caring for your pets and am happy to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to message me here anytime. I am a self employed event planner in Las Vegas and so I do most of my work online from home which makes it easy for me to work from anywhere. And I honestly get some of my best work when I'm in a new environment so I love house sitting. Sometimes I will need to run out for meetings or errands during the day but am almost never away more than 3 hours. When I am housesitting I remain on the property as much as possible and am always there throughout the night. I don't smoke or do drugs and will never bring anyone to your home unless it's approved by you first. Sometimes my husband and daughter like to join me since they're animal lovers too but only if the owners are comfortable with it. I have a lot of respect for people's property and am very capable of handling issues if they arise. I take my role as a pet/house-sitter very seriously and want to ensure that you never have anything to worry about while you're away. I am a very easy going yet detailed oriented person with a motherly nature who loves bringing ease into the lives of others. I understand that your pets are your children and that it's not easy to leave them with a stranger, but I will assure you that your fur babies are very safe with me.

About: I am a cat owner and dog owner. I help take of my friends dogs when they are away. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I'm currently working from home and need to get out and stretch my legs! I am currently available anyday of the week from 7am to 6pm. I am not currently taking pets in my home since our senior dog doesnt get along with some dogs. I'm sorry for that. Maybe in the near future.

About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I’m free most of the time. I just need more advanced notice if it is an overnight stay over just a drop in at your home. I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

About: I'm a local Austinite who grew up always having a dog in the house and currently have three dogs who spend their days hiking through the greenbelt and exploring the great outdoors. I've had extensive experience dogsitting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no problem with multiple, long walks each day to make sure the dog is getting the appropriate amount of exercise. I have also volunteered many hours for Austin Pets Alive and fully support their mission to help the struggling animals in our city. Whether you have a big dog who needs to be tuckered out while you're away at work or a little pup who just needs to be let out and given some quality attention, I'd be happy to help!

About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals! ❤️ I was a proud dog mom to the sweetest red nose pit bull, who lived to be around 14 years old before crossing the rainbow bridge. I also have a playful, energetic cat named Mittens who keeps me on my toes! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including newborn puppies! I helped a friend care for her French Bulldog and her litter of 8 newborn puppies until they were ready to go to their forever homes. This included waking up every 2 hours for feedings, bottle-feeding, cleaning their crates, bathing, potty training, and introducing them to walking and crate training. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a curious kitty, I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own! 🐶🐱💕 Being a mom has helped me create a flexible daily routine that allows me plenty of time to care for your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 After dropping my kids off at school around 7:30 AM, I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cat check-ins, and litter box cleaning. I pick my kids up around 3:45 PM, but I’m also available for evening visits before or after dinner! My schedule allows me to give your pets the time, love, and attention they deserve while keeping a dependable routine. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ As a pet mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect their space, follow their normal routines, and carefully follow any instructions you provide. Whether it’s feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or keeping litter boxes clean, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality. I know some fur babies love lots of attention and cuddles, while others need a little extra time and space to warm up. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for! 🐶🐱💕

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.
