“Francis was great with our kitty Fred - we could tell from all of the cute photos that he was excited to play and hang out with Francis. Will definitely rebook!”

About: Hi there! We’re lifelong dog lovers with over 18 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Our home is full of love — we currently have three dogs of our own, including two “foster fails” that completely stole our hearts. We also continue to foster whenever needed because caring for animals has always been something we’re passionate about. Over the years, we realized that even dogs with wonderful homes sometimes need extra love and care while their families are away. That’s why we decided to open our home to boarding and pet care through Rover — so your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while you’re gone. We understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and we pride ourselves on creating a warm, calm, and loving environment. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, we tailor our care to their individual needs and routines. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be welcomed into our family. 🐶💕 My partner and I both work part-time schedules, which allows us to be very flexible and available throughout the week, especially full-time on weekends. We intentionally alternate our schedules so that someone is almost always home with our pets — and yours! Because of this, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and care throughout the day. We’re rarely away from home for more than 2–4 hours at a time, so frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication routines, and consistent affection are never an issue. We understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, supervised, and loved while their owners are away, and we work hard to create a calm, safe, family-style environment where they can feel right at home. We provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets are treated like family. Our home is pet-friendly, clean, and closely supervised throughout the day since one of us is almost always home. We have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, including foster dogs and rescue animals. We are happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate training, and special care instructions if needed. Pets will receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. We also prioritize slow introductions and monitoring to ensure all pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while in our care.
About: My own dog recently passed away at the age of 20, so I am an expert in care for Senior Pets and Special Needs (blindness, deafness, etc), and a calm and patient sitter for anxious dogs. I am very experienced with medication and specialized diets. Your pet will have a wonderful time in my care! I run my own businesses and am very flexible at the current time to care for your pets! I can even bring my work with me on occasion if needed. I am very respectful of your space and often take dogs out to the park or somewhere outdoors to play if there is no yard. Your animals will get plenty of playtime and love, and I value staying in close communication should any issues arise!
“Emily took great care of our cats and chickens! Our cats are 18 years old and require medications twice a day. She sent notes (via Rover cards) after every visit and also sent us many photos. This gave us such peace of mind and heart. Thank you, Emily!”
About: I've owned, loved and cared for dogs for my entire young and bonafide adult life. Dogs tend to naturally bond with and like me because they almost immediately know that I love and enjoy dogs. I am retired and have lots of time and an extremely flexible schedule. I enjoy the freedom to both make plans and to act on a moments notice. I talk to dogs, I exercised them physically and mentally, I cater to their needs, and I watch out for any hazards or dangers. I do everything in my power to insure that me and dogs have a positive and fun experience.
About: With 5+ years of experience looking after dogs and cats, I am particularly equipped to look after big dogs, rambunctious puppies, and noisy cats. I’m an excellent communicator who is reliable, attentive, and responsive to your instructions and your pet’s needs. I take their wellbeing very seriously, and I have a lot of patience and energy to give your pets all the attention they need. I’m typically available every day of the week from 10am-5pm and also available to do overnight stays on Mondays-Wednesdays. I am a recent college grad who has been taking part-time and seasonal jobs for the past several months as I apply for more consistent part-time and full-time work. My schedule is currently wide open, and I will promptly communicate any changes in my availability to you as they come up. I am a responsible and detail-oriented petsitter, and I prioritize pet safety. I keep the owner(s)' house locked, cleaned, and treat all your belongings with respect. I stick to your pets' regular schedule of feeding, medication, playtime, and anything else as delineated by you to maintain their routine and avoid stressing your animals out. I also send consistent updates to owners to ease their worry and ask clarifying questions as they come up to ensure your pets are getting the care and attention they need. I make sure to keep your contact info and all relevant medical info handy at all times in case of emergency, and am quick to act with integrity and preparedness when pets are in danger.
“Adara was right on time and gave her full attention to my pups. She was respectful of our property and did all she could to make them comfortable. We also had a good "meet and greet" a few days before her visit with them. All went really well and I'd recommend Adara as a reliable pet sitter. I don't need help often but when I do will call on her again.”
About: I am a stay at home mom of 1 kid and have 2 pets, we go on daily walks and exercise. Your pets must be kid friendly! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love it. I’m experienced with bathing, walking, feeding and taking any precautions that your dog may need. I am available Monday through Monday. As a stay at home mom I have lots of flexibility. Please reach out for more info. Thank you! I live in an apartment. Pads available, lots of dog toys, dog beds, blankets and two very silly pups for your dog to play with.
About: My partner (Chip) and I have completed over 5 pet-sits on the platform, Trusted Housesitters. We both grew up with dogs and live a very active lifestyle, so rest assured your dog (or cat) will get plenty of attention and exercise! My partner and I both work from home, so we have plenty of time and bandwidth to care for your pets! We can take for walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention while we are working on our laptops. We only have an apartment, so no fenced yard but have easy access to Cathedral Park, Pier Park, and Peninsula Park. We're also right across from Forest Park, so if your pet likes to hike, we can take them on a forest adventure!
“We have only work with Claire for a week but she is on point. Very organized and great at communicating. She is very caring and loving to our 11 yr old puppy. Happy we found her.”
“We have had various sitters for our cat Posey over the last few years, but Savannah is the best we have had, by far. She is prompt, thorough, and best of all, she can charm our not-so-friendly furball, as evidenced in the pictures and videos she sends... We hope to book Savanna whenever we have to be away.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at Orangetheory from 4:00 AM–12:30 PM most mornings, so I’m free and flexible for pet care the rest of the day. I’m available for drop-ins and care on weekdays after 12:30 PM and weekends after 2PM. I’m also happy to stay overnight at your home any day of the week or weekend. I can easily work pet care into my routine and am happy to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs! When I’m caring for pets at a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, go on walks, play, give lots of attention, and provide any other care they need. When staying at a client’s home, I’ll also make sure to respect and care for their space while giving their pets plenty of love and companionship.

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.
