About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped my family care for them. Over the years, I’ve had 7 dogs and 2 cats, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m available for evening check-ins and walks during the week, and I can also board pets on weekends. My schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, as well as one friendly dog and a cat who is used to being around dogs and gets along well with them. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
About: 🐾 Your pet’s new favorite bestie! ✨NICU nurse with a BIG love for animals 🐶 Dog mom to Chewy & Finnegan 💕 Overnight stays, drop-ins & dog walks 📸 Plenty of updates, pictures & extra cuddles! Hi, I’m Meg! Your pet’s care, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends and family, from overnight stays to quick drop-ins, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality! As a full-time NICU nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, a little extra attention, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ve got them covered! 🐾💗 I currently work 3 twelve hours shifts a week. This leaves me with four days off throughout the week to check on your pups. My schedule is day shift work 7a-7p. I frequently walk my dogs at home along with other family members dogs. I have plenty of experience whether they’re calm and need a slow walk, or if they need the walk to get their energy out. I am also capable of feeding, medicating, and playing/spending time with your dog.
“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”
“Our dog is a “rescue dog.” He is unpredictable. When Kayley came for a drop-in visit, he barked at her viciously even though he already knew and liked her. She stayed with him until he became calm. She showed a lot of patience with him. We appreciate her skills and empathy.”
About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.
“Ashley and her wife have been absolutely wonderful with my dog Taz. They stop by Monday through Friday while I’m at work, and I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Not only do they take great care of him, but Ashley has also been working with Taz on commands, which has made such a positive difference. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! 🐾”
“Arieanna was great! This was our first time using rover and we couldn’t be happier. My wife and I had to go out of town for a family emergency and Arieanna came by twice to walk and feed our dogs dinner at night. We will definitely be using her again if needed.”
About: I have been around dogs consistently for about 10 years and we currently have two golden retrievers in our home (5 and 1). I enjoy being around dogs and look forward to potentially helping your family and pets! I currently work full time remotely which allows a fairly flexible schedule to help meet multiple requests. Please feel free to ask any questions upon a booking request. I am flexible to be able to let your pets out, spend time with them, feed them upon request, and open to anything that will help them have a normal and enjoyable experience.
“Katie was everything we could ask for our 2 cats. I’m very particular with my instructions as they can be difficult and she made sure to follow everything to the T. I loved that she provided detailed feedback and pictures every time. Will definitely work with her in the future!”
“Samantha was very good with our lab Jake! She showed up to each visit in a timely manner. Pictures of Jake and good communication was appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Samantha again; the weekend went great!”
About: I used to work at boarding/doggy daycare facility for two years so I have experience with walking dogs, properly taking care of them, and keeping them safe and clean! I miss working work animals and I’m excited to start again! I do work a full time job, but i do have off every other weekend and am available every day during the week between 8am and 2pm. I would love for my clients to tell me about their fur baby, ex. Any behavior or things their baby may or may not like and their home, ex. If they have a fenced in yard or not. All of this or any information is helpful so I know how to best keep your baby safe!
About: Since sneaking an abandoned newborn kitten home at the age of 14, I’ve had the privilege of gaining a diverse range of experiences in caring for both cats and dogs. Last summer my angel (chunky cat in my photos) passed away at 11 years old from sudden health issues, given no option for treatment. He was like a son to me. I've found animals are the medicine to my grief and I'll gladly dedicate all of me to caring for your pet! Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to adopt, foster, and pet-sit countless times, demonstrating my knowledge and responsibility in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and in various conditions. My experience extends to puppy training and cat socialization, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for your beloved pet. With a deep passion for animals, I assure you that I will dedicate my utmost effort and commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your precious baby(ies) I’m currently working towards an engineering degree through online learning from home, which allows me to have great availability. I’m reachable by phone at all times as well. I have a big house (and spare rooms) with a large fenced yard. My patience towards animals seems to never run out because I look at them and all I see is a pure soul and a big (or small) baby. Caring for pets isn’t a chore to me and you can fully trust me to stay attuned and send lots of pictures and videos, as well as the basics like feed, walk, play, administer medication (if needed) as many times as needed. My experience with animal care is very diverse and the chances are very slim to none that I’ll encounter something I haven’t handled before.
“Andrew was fantastic! He was so detailed and he kept in touch each day. he really understood my difficult diabetic cat and made sure to show love to our other two. Having someone who comes in to give insulin really allowed me to enjoy our time away with no worries if we would have to come home early. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again. Thanks again Andrew!!”
About: Special skills: senior pet care, pets with various behavioral and health needs, administering medication, kittens/puppies Growing up my family rescued numerous cats with varying behavioral and health needs and I have built loving connections with both the most cuddly and most standoffish of pets. Since childhood my neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while on vacation and many senior neighbors depended on me to assist with dog walking. In 2020 I inherited my neighbors 12 year old dog when she passed away. Caring for his diverse needs into his old age was one of the highest honors of my life thus far. At home I have 4 dogs varying in size from Shih Tzu to Newfoundland. I love to walk and be in nature and am a great dog companion for the summer weather! I am a graduate student on a break from school with a flexible schedule to provide your fur babies with cuddles and care. I am happy to help almost any time, any day ! Building secure and trusting bonds with pets and their owners is a top priority of mine. Following instructions and attention to detail and safety is a key component of that.
About: I've loved taking care of dogs of all kinds of my own and friends and family from a young age! Currently I have a two at home and know how much of a part of the family they are. My goal is to meet your needs for your pups and keep them comfortable when you need to be away from home! I am currently a student and only working part time so have plenty of time in the mornings and late afternoon/evening to care for and check in on your pets! I am very open and flexible to you and your pets needs! Comfortable with crating your pup if needed or bringing them out for walks. My goal is to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable based on your routine!
“Jazmin did a great job! She seemed to genuinely care for our cat, Cleo, even though it was her first time watching her. She did Cleo’s routine, played with her, and gave her attention. Cleo can be a picky and talkative senior cat, and Jazmin was dedicated to providing good care.”

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.
