“We had another great experience. Ella was timely, professional, and great with our cats for feeding, clean up, and even play time. Our one cat hates strangers and he even warmed up to her. Will definitely be using Ella again. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: Hey fellow dog lovers! A little about me… I am a nurse and absolutely love what I do, but ultimately I just want to hang out with dogs. I have a four year old daughter and a 12 year old mixed breed dog. I will take excellent care of your fur babies. I grew up with three dogs, one golden retriever and two westies, and I adopted my dog in 2016. I worked for PetStar dog walking company in Charleston Sc but then began pursuing my nursing career. I just moved back to Lancaster and trying to make some extra money while looking for another nursing job. I hope to hear from you! Thanks! I am available during the week. I work the weekends. During the week we like to go on adventures but we are also happy hanging out at home. We have almost half an acre that’s fenced in. We also have a screened in porch with a fan and a large loveseat that out dog uses more than we do. If I leave the house I more often than not bring copper with us. We go to the parks, Home Depot, the fields, the beach, you name it (if dogs are allowed we go together)
About: I’ve taken care of childhood dogs since I was 12. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with all sorts of animals growing up. I would be able to care for pets during the weekends and after 430pm weekdays. It is a great way not only to bond with animals but also get my daily exercise in. In a clients home, I would be able to feed the dog, play with it, and take it on walks like it was my own animal. For walking, I would make sure they enjoyed themselves, and add some play time in as well to make it more rewarding for the animal.
“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”
“Kianna has watched Our dog while we are away on holiday and we feel so at ease knowing our dog is in such good care. The pictures she sends are also the cutest! I will always request Kianna for future needs.”
“Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash”

Misty was so great to our animals, our dog was barking at the first visit(we could hear her through our ring camera) but Misty took her time and made Clove feel safe. She came over to meet our dog and cat before we even left and she was so pleasant and nice to chat with. You can tell she has a heart for the animals that she works with and I would recommend her to anyone that asks! Great Job Misty!!!💯

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.
