About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Dogs in my family since before I was born. Adopted a stray kitten when I was still a kid. I’ve also had birds, fish, and rats over the years. I started pet sitting for friends as a teenager, so I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets for a long time too. I’d love to get to know your four-legged friends and make sure they’re well taken care of while you’re away. I'm currently in between jobs so have a lot of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. I'm available for both mornings and evenings. I am familiar with crate training and I have legs, so I can walk your dog. Additionally, I have hands so I can scoop food out of a bin and/or a can and then put the food in a bowl. Refilling water bowls? Expert right here. Kitty litter? Very unfun but also necessary.
“She let my very energetic dog Koda out and made sure he did what was needed. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who needs someone to do the job needed. Great communication. This was my first time using rover and I appreciate her so very much . Thank you again”
“Amanda is the best. She takes such good care of my cats, communicates so effectively, goes above and beyond. I always feel at ease that she’s caring of my cats when I’m away, and I always return home knowing and seeing they’ve been well cared for.”
“Katrina did an amazing job at taking care of our kitty and sending us pictures to know she was okay! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
About: We are a pet loving family of 4 with our good boy, Titus, and two kittens Nikko and Luna. We love to play with Titus outside in our backyard, teach him tricks and cuddle with him on the sofa. We keep our pets up to date on rabies vaccine and flea treatments. I was raised on a farm so I am very comfortable being around all sorts of animals. I have been sitting on Rover for over 5 years and I love it! I work full time at home and some travel. I am available all weekend for walks, drop-ins, boarding and sitting. During the weekdays I have flexibility with my schedule, contact me and we can discuss arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s). We can play with your furry friend outside or inside. We can go for walks around the neighborhood or in our woods. Tanglewood dog park is just a 15 minute drive from us where we can play and go on long walks. At your house we can go for walks, play catch, learn tricks, and cuddle.
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!
“Natalie did a great job dropping in to take care of our senior kitty. We received daily updates and photos and she alerted to any concerns. It was great to be able to leave for an extended weekend and know that our baby would be in good hands. Thanks Natalie!”
About: I’ve grew up having animals. From cats to dogs to some small pets. I can feed, bathe, or take them for a walk if need be. I currently work full time from 8am-4:30pm. Very flexible after I get off. I’m off on Saturdays and Sundays. I try to be as flexible as I can be :) I’m willing to take your dogs in the yard or walk them down the street if needed. If you prefer to crate your pet when you are not home I can do that as well. I'm comfortable with taking care of cats as well as reptiles. If they love hikes as well I would love to take them on one!
“Morgan is always professional, communicative, and tailors her time with my dogs to what they want/feel like doing. She is compassionate and detail-oriented, and I feel completely at ease leaving my girl with chronic bronchitis in her care. I cannot say enough good things about Morgan!”
About: Hey👋🏾, your pup's new bestie here! A little bit about me. I was born and raised on a farm here in NC, so I've always been outdoorsy. My first dog was a hundred pound German Shepard named Dee Dee. I was 5 years old then and we grew up together. Dogs have been apart of my life ever since. Growing up I was fortunate to have horses, chickens, cows and cats. I still love them all but now my focused is on dogs primarily. I have french bulldogs and a lovely husky mix I rescued named "Dex". I communicate well with animals and I'm good with them. I worked as a Vet tech for several years after high school. I then went on to become a Practice Manager for a Vet Office in Charlotte. I am now working to create my home into the perfect pup resort/paradise. I would love to have new and regular clientele so there is comfort between your dog and I. I don't mind taking your dog to groomers or doctor appointments if needed and I can do pick up and drop off from my home within 15 miles too. I do ask that I am informed of any health issues or behavioral issues up front. Please know that I will treat you and your babies with love and respect. Thats my garauntee! I am a full time dog breeder and currently have no expected litters so I have open availability. I can also board overnight (up to date vaccinations required). I can do drop-ins and walks also. I don't mind taking your 🐶 to their favorite parks. I have a clean acre yard with a fenced playpark on it. I have a heated & A/C Dog Hotel and dogs have their own suite. I own 5 friendly frenchies, for your dog to have friends to play with if you choose. Meal times and medications is at your choosing. Depending on weather determines what activites we do that day. Whatever we do we will have fun.
About: This will be my first experience of pet care. I have a passion for treating pets with the care they deserve and give them lots of love. I will treat them as if they were my own. This would be an exciting experience to meet and take care of all different breeds of pets. I am curious of how other breeds act as I, myself have two chihuahuas and a french bulldog that are completely separate from each other. I would love nothing more than to help take care of other people's pets while also enjoying the time of playing and caring for the pet itself. I am care-free and easy going. If you ever needed more time for me to watch the pet, I would be more than happy to do so. I work full time but i’m an early bird and have all evenings free! I like to be active and go on walks anyways and it will be lovely to do it with a furry friend! I do not care for pets inside my own home but in a client home, I will do anything necessary for the pet under owners orders! I work best with a schedule.
About: I have worked in the Veterinarian field for over 67 years. I love working with animals outside of work as well. I can assure you when your pet is with me, I will treat them as one of my own. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message :) prices can be modified. I currently work Monday Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Tuesdays I get off early. I will only take clients close to the area so that I will have enough time to drop in during luches I have been a Veterinary Assistant for over 7 years. I will show love and treat your pets as my very own. I absolutely love spoiling my clients!
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. My family has always had a household of cats and dogs. When I was a babysitter I would also watch any animals needed of me. I have a golden doodle of my own named Ember, who has taught me patience and kindness. I also have a mixed puppy who loves the company of another. I currently work Mondays and Fridays. All other days are free, if you need me a weekend it needs to be 5 days in advance. I do not have a fenced In yard. I have two pet friendly dogs who I can put in a crate if needed. Anything your pet needs will be fulfilled with love and kindness
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging in age and health. I have experience with elderly dogs, cats, and giving oral and topical medicine. As well as, taking care of multiple animals at once and balancing different routines. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to care for your pets in any capacity needed. I’m available for house sitting and multiple visits a day, to assure your pets safety and security. I have 5 animals of my own, so I know the importance of creating a safe environment and understanding boundaries of the client and animal.

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.
