About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.
“We love Robyn! She takes wonderful care of our babies, and we will be hiring her more often, now that we have a trusted sitter in the area. She’s communicative, thorough, loves all animals and puts in the extra effort. Traveling is so much easier when you have someone you can rely on. Thank you Robyn!”
About: I have years of both professional and personal experience caring for animals. l've worked in veterinary clinics and spent 3 years as an Animal Care Technician, where I cared for animals with a wide range of medical needs, personalities, and temperaments. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing when an animal may need a little extra attention or patience. I've also been a dog owner for over 15 years, and my dogs truly are my children and my entire world. Their happiness, comfort, and well-being always come before my own, and I'll bring that same level of love and attentiveness to your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who needs a slower pace, or has special care needs, l'm happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I'm a self employed full time artist and I work from home. My schedule is completely flexible and I can dedicate lots of time to be attentive and there for all your pets needs. Whether l'm caring for your pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I'll always follow your care instructions closely and adjust my approach to what makes your pet happiest. l'll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I'll also respect your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it.

About: I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I make it a point to pay attention to every dog individually and accommodate for uniqueness. I know some overheat and get tired faster than others, some dogs suffer from chronic ailments, and some are extremely energetic. I’m here for all of it. I am currently a college graduate (Mines) so I pick up pet care opportunities full time while I search for a more permanent career field. I would love to visit your dogs to provide playtime and care, however I am not able to board or house them at my domaine.

My husband and I work from home and love going on walks. When the kids are home from school they dote on the animals a lot too. In the house, your dog is welcome to go where they please & feel most comfortable…which is often right by us. Feel free to bring their own dog bed or any blankets that remind them of home. We board no more than 2 dogs at once, and often it’s just one. The house is still a home. And your best buddy welcome anytime!

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, even reptiles—and owned my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Chihuahua mix. That kind of history means I don’t need time to learn how to read animals; I already know. I petsat and am comfortable with dogs with sensitive needs too. Recently, I pet sat 3 dogs and 2 bunnies over 9 days. Whatever your dog needs — calm reassurance or an energetic playmate — I show up the same way every time: nurturing, attentive, and reliable. I am currently working remote with my marketing background, part-time on my own schedule, so I intentionally stay very flexible seven days per week for petsitting and housesitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, always. I keep a close eye on body language and energy levels so I can adjust to what each needs in the moment — whether that means quiet reassurance for a nervous pup or an active outlet for a high-energy one. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any care instructions exactly as given, and I’m attentive to details that keep a dog feeling secure in a new environment. You can trust that your dog is in steady, capable hands from drop-off to pickup.
About: i have been a cat owner and lover for many many years as well as helping out a dog walking business where I walked multiple dogs a day. I learned the in's and out's of the dog walking business and what it takes to care for dogs! I also love cats! I am currently looking for a new full-time job. I have the time to watch and help anyone with their animals while they are busy. I have two cats at home. They have lots of room to roam as well as an outdoor deck to run around outside and an outdoor bathroom for them.

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.
