“Johnette was wonderful and all of our dogs loved her. She was timely, gave extra loving and cuddles, and she put us at ease while we were away. With older dogs, having someone like Johnette come over is so much better than kenneling them. Highly recommend as we will for sure be using her again in the future!”
“Hailey went above and beyond! We loved getting the updates and photos! She asked great questions and made sure our loved ones were well cared for while we were gone! Definitely highly recommend Hailey!!”
“Shelley did a fantastic job watching after our two cats. Her daily pictures and detailed updates gave us all the confidence we needed to enjoy our vacation worry-free. We will be booking her again in the future!”
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
“Camryn’s experience, professionalism and quick responses brought me ease and comfort while away. I came home to a happy, healthy and cared-for kitty. I feel fortunate to have been able to have my cat and home in camryn’s care, and I am confident you will too. Best Jared”
About: Currently dog sit for a friend when their family goes out of town that has lead my son and I into enjoying taking care of dogs. We enjoy their company, snuggles and companionship. Currently working part time hours so I am home often along with being home every night and on weekends which allows your fur baby to not be alone for long periods of time. Have a front yard easily accessible to use with a lead and a big fenced in back yard for running around, playing fetch or relaxing in the sun.
About: I've been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 12 years old, and for the past two years I've provided professional pet sitting for cats, dogs, and small animals. My experience includes overnight care, drop-in visits, feeding, exercise, habitat and litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of companionship tailored to each pet's individual needs. I'm experienced caring for both playful kittens and puppies as well as adult pets, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine. For active dogs, I'm happy to include them on walks or runs (with owner approval), while cats enjoy interactive play, enrichment, or even supervised outdoor time using harnesses or pet strollers when appropriate. I also have three guinea pigs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with the daily care and habitat maintenance required for small animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra attention, I'll provide patient, reliable care and treat them with the same love and respect that I give my own pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate midday drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or habitat cleaning, and companionship. I'm available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 3:00 PM. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. For energetic dogs, I enjoy staying active and regularly go on morning runs and afternoon walks. If your dog enjoys exercise and you're comfortable with it, I'd be happy to include them in these outings to help keep them happy and mentally stimulated. For pets that prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy to provide leisurely walks, playtime, or plenty of companionship. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have three guinea pigs of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily care and habitat maintenance that small animals require, including feeding, spot cleaning, and enclosure upkeep. My experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets has taught me that every animal has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet's personality and routine.
“Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have pets of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I regularly help out friends and family by checking in on their pets from feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re safe and happy. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new, so my main priority is keeping their routine exactly the way they like it. Whether your dog needs a solid walk to burn off energy, or your cat just needs fresh food, a clean box, and some quiet company, I’m happy to help. I'll also send quick photo updates during every visit so you know everything is going smoothly! I structure my days so I can dedicate solid, uninterrupted time for visits. Because I stay organized, I show up when promised and never have to rush through a visit. Whether your dog needs a midday walk to break up the workday or your cat needs an evening meal and play session, your pet gets my full attention the entire time I'm there. Leaving your home and pets in someone else's hands takes a lot of trust. When I’m in your space, safety and respect come first. I always double check that doors are locked, gates are latched, and leashes are secure. I stick strictly to your exact instructions, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, or specific house rules, so you can go about your day without worrying, knowing your pets are safe and your house stays just the way you left it. Safety Note: For the safety of both your dog and myself, I do not use retractable leashes. Please have a standard 4- to 6-foot leash available for our walks!
About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one

About: I have a funny farm on 10 acres outside of Shueyville. My dogs run freely but I’m happy to keep your pet on a leash as I live by a busy road. I pride myself on taking care of your fur baby like I care for mine. I am home full time so am very attentive and able to have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I enjoy going for walks and it’s always double the enjoyment when I have a walking buddy! My guests are treated with the same care that I provide for my own animals and of course I am always happy to accommodate specific needs or requests as well.

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 Ely 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.
