“Kenzie was terrific taking care of our 16 year old cat, Bella! She sent photos, gave me updates every day, brought in our newspapers and a package that was delivered. I will definitely ask her again! Thanks so much Kenzie!”
“Jessica is awesome, she is my go-to person for all my pet related needs, I am a repeat customer. She watched my 3-month old golden and took great care of him for a few hours. She gave him plenty of exercise and snuggles. She’s great with my pups and very responsive & dependable. Her communication is fantastic. I highly recommend her!”
“I am super appreciative of Rachel's care for my dogs. She was very communicative and they clearly made a new best friend when she arrived. I would gladly book with her again.”
“This is the 4th time that I have booked with Adriana and each time she does a wondeful job of taking care of my pet. She is highly communicative and i look forward to her report cards as she covers how everything went and sends lots of pictures where I can see how my pup is doing. Adriana is amazing! Thank you!”
“Jon did such a great job with my dogs! There has been a lot of upheaval in their lives with moving to a new house and Hattie is always nervous when meeting a new person. Jon was so patient and understood her hesitation and he allowed her to warm up on her schedule, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Danielle was always timely and very patient with my older cat and giving him his meds (even though he doesn’t want to take them sometimes). I know I can rely on her to watch after them and play with them while I’m gone!”

“Nicole, always does an amazing job with my 2 adult cats when my family and I are out of town. I do not have to worry about them because I know she’s got them! Thank you Nicole.”
About: Hi, I'm Lindsey, I am a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for playful pups, energetic working breeds, and sweet senior dogs. I currently have a 4-year old mini American Shepherd named Mochi! He’s a trained frisbee dog and the friendliest little shadow. Before him I raised two Australian Shepherds from puppyhood through their senior years. I’ve cared for: Puppies Senior dogs High-energy and working breeds Anxious and shy pups Dogs needing oral medication I believe every dog deserves patient, structured care with plenty of love, enrichment, and outdoor time. I treat every dog like my own. I live on a greenbelt that connects to Coal Creek trail, there are miles of of walking and sniffing at my back door! I am home full time, and my husband works from home MWF so your dog will rarely be alone. I’m fully available: Early mornings Late afternoons Evenings Weekends Daily walks, trail adventures, enrichment, and playtime fit easily into my weekly routine. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. I offer boarding,walks, and drop-ins, and I maintain a calm, respectful environment for all dogs in my care. My home setup: -Fully fenced yard backing up to a greenbelt connected to Coal Creek Trail (endless sniffing and exploring!) -Dogs welcome on furniture -Two kind, dog-loving daughters (ages 9 & 11) -Just Mochi, a playful mini American Shepherd -Calm home environment Safety practices I follow: -All dogs leashed outside the fenced yard -Crate available if preferred or required -Follow all pet parent routines + special instructions -Frequent photo updates and check ins for peace of mind I do not accept aggressive dogs, but I’m very comfortable with high-energy, playful, or anxious pups.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job as always taking care of our car while we left the country for vacation. She gave us peace of mind with thoughtful updates and cute pics, as well as went out of her way to help us out with a house thing.”
“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”
“Charissa gave each of my pups the personalized attention they needed. She kept my high energy pup happy with some fetch and coaxed my shy little one out of her shell for some fresh air, sniff-abouts and TLC. Thank you Charissa!”
“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”
“Holly is amazing! She takes such good care of my puppy, Kevin! She is punctual, efficient, communicative and super caring and fun with Kevin😊 Simply put, a working dog dad’s dream! Thanks so much Holly!”
“Sara did amazing with my cat! She did drop in visits to administer oral and topical medication and had no problems. I also got an update picture from her every day and she communicated amazingly! I would definitely book again :)”
“AMAZING!! I was so grateful for Megan, she watched my two big doggies for a long weekend and took amazing care of them. I received multiple updates and she went above and beyond caring for them. My anxious pup usually struggles with eating and pooping and in her care had no issues whatsoever! I got photos and a lovely note at the end. Please book Megan if you want the best for your pets!”
“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”

Adriana was amazing in dropping in on my fur kid 3 times this past week, each time making sure she had everything she needed, time outside, pets and treats. Look forward to the pictures she sends and I can see the calmness in my pup (who is anxious around those she doesn't trust). Recommend Adriana completely, and will continue to rely on her. Thanks Adriana!
Emily is truly the absolute best! She has been walking Gracie for almost a year, and when we recently added Walter to our family, she welcomed him with just as much love, patience, and care. Having two Great Danes; especially one being a puppy; is no small task, but Emily handles them wonderfully. We love her and trust her completely with our pups, which means everything to us. She is dependable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly loves Gracie and Walter like they are her own. Knowing they are with Emily gives us complete peace of mind. We honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with them and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Brittany is amazing!! She took care of our three kitties while we were out of town. She sent such great updates and lots of photos. We knew our cats were in good hands so we were able to enjoy our vacation! Brittany went above and beyond loving on our kitties and making sure they had attention. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Jessica sent a photo every day showing how Jasmine was doing, which was a comfort to us, as she is a 17 year old cat. And she was very consistent about the timing of her visits, which was the best thing for Jasmine, knowing that she would be fed and see someone consistently. We are very happy with Jessica and will gladly rebook her again.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
