About: I worked in a shelter with dogs with all kinds of backgrounds, trauma, behavioral issues, special needs, breeds/mixes, sizes. I even have some experience with feral dogs. I work fulk time at a dog daycare/boarding facility. My hours are either 6am-1:30pm or 9am-4:30 and occasionally 8am-3:30. I have one friendly dog but he is currently boarding with a friend for the time being. He is crated when I am not home due to his severe separation anxiety.
About: I come from a family of animal lovers and caretakers and have had a variety of pets my entire life. I have been rescuing/rehoming, fostering, and foster failing since I was 17. I was also a volunteer dog walker for the animal shelter near my college for 4 years. I always go above and beyond for animals in my care and always treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I have experience with animals of all care needs, medical, physical, and behavioral and always prioritize safety and enrichment. Currently, I own four very spoiled cats, but I have also owned and worked with dogs and small furry creatures. I'm willing to work with any and all pets and pet parents! I work from home every day except Tuesday and have a very flexible schedule. I am available 24/6! My schedule can be fixed around your pets' needs. I believe safety is a number one priority, but also the bare minimum. I will follow any instructions to a T and provide as many updates as you would like.
“Summer is fantastic with our puppy, Finley! She provides excellent communication before, during, and after caring for him. She is very detailed in her Rover card reports and provides adorable photos, too! She is extremely reliable and we feel so comfortable leaving Finley home knowing that Summer will take great care of him.”
“Hannah was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, giving us regular updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about each of our pets and took exceptional care of them. When we came home, all of our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored Hannah. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would recommend Hannah without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly wonderful with animals. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“We had a meet & greet at my home before the needed drop in. I felt reassured that I had chosen a reliable, kind to pets gal. Emilia communicated back quickly, sent photo's & message. I plan on having her return when a future need for sitter or drop in comes.”
About: For the past four years, I’ve been the dedicated sitter for a family who entrusts me with their pets every time they travel. I care for both their 2 dogs (Golden Aussie and Brindle Pitbull) and 2 senior cats, handling everything from feeding and playtime to clean up and companionship. I grew up with dogs and birds, and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, observant, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm cuddle session. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full-time, but pet care is still a meaningful part of my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks in the early mornings, evenings, and some lunch hours depending on your location. I’m used to coordinating around a work schedule, and I always make time for the animals in my care—they’re never an afterthought. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions exactly, stay in close communication, and treat your home and animals with care. Whether it's keeping up with feeding times, administering medication, or helping your pet feel less alone while you're away, I bring a calm and reliable presence to every visit.
About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog “Beau” when I was 8 years of age. I’ve since had two beautiful adopted puppies. I look forward to training or assisting with any dog. I can assist with cats as well. My fiancé recently adopted a kitten, and the kitten then adopted me. I am available anytime to take care of your loved pet. I have reliable transportation and will be able to adjust to any schedule needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do walk to the beach every day. I also have a carriage that I walk my kitten in if that is needed.
“Thomye took great care of our IzBiz while we were away. Being a senior pup, it's hard to uproot them just for a night away. Thomye was absolutely perfect with her. She took time to play and even hand fed her to ensure she ate her food. Thomye took all the extra time and care and we are forever grateful that we found her. She will definitely be our go-to when we need someone for our old lady.”
About: I've grown up with large dogs my whole life-7 in total- from puppies to adulthood! I'm often called over by friends and family to take care of their dogs and cats since high school. I didn't grow up with cats but I we recently rescued two and I love them to death. We've trained each of our dogs since they were puppies. I've personally cared for many elderly dogs (my own, as well as petsitting) and have also owned a dog with a neurologic disability who would often fall ill and get fevers, and now I'm well acquainted with spotting the signs. I worked in pet boarding for nearly 2 years and I did everything from bathing, being a daycare technician, and diligently scrubbing kennels. I worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, young and old, friendly and not ao friendly. I also have experience with taking care of Rabbits, Bearded Dragons, and Ball Pythons. I have a very flexible work schedule and I can let dogs out throughout the day at any time. I prefer to house sit if the house is further away to make feeding and letting out easier. I only use a 2 finger "touch" when correcting a dog, and I'm well trained to prevent dog fights (or "arguments") and how to break them up. I worked 1.5 years full-time in dog daycare/boarding, so I'm well acquainted with dog body language and appropriate dog training.
“So grateful to Michelle for watching our girls recently! You can tell she truly loves pets, and was so patient with our elderly girl, Ribbon. Thank you so much again! Would definitely rebook. :)”
“Ambrosia was great again!! My cats and dogs were very happy with her! She is very flexible and helpful which is great! It was my second time having her watch my pets and I wasn’t worried one bit! She is the best!!”
“Myah is excellent! She bonded so quickly and easily with our dog that it was immediate peace of mind for us. She was always on time for check ins and feedings and her pics and notes assured us our fur baby was well cared for. We highly recommend Myah!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.
About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.
“Thank you so much Haley for taking care of our fur babies! We were so appreciative to get updates and pictures and know that they were okay while we took a date night. We’ll be booking again, for sure!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Plain
Emelia had something come up during the 2 week time frame of taking care of our cat, Beans. She was very responsible and communicated very quickly so another solution could be figured out for just 1 of the visits she could not do. Beans loves all the attention and play time she receives during her visits! Would definitely recommend! Thank you!
Rachel agreed on very short notice- like 2 days- to drop in our senior pup, Darla. This is the second or third time Rachel has helped out with caring for her while we go out of town. Hard for old girl to travel anymore. Since the last time Rachel came by, Darla has lost her hearing and now takes an arthritis medication twice a day. Rachel was on it! Darla was hesitant at first to come out of the room, but Rachel figured it out and got our girl taken care of. Rachel is AWESOME!! Thank you so much for helping out on short notice!! ❤️

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 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.
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 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.
