“Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!”
“Shekyira was an amazing caretaker for my cat. She fed her on schedule each day and sent photos to negate any anxiety or worries. She is very personable and has a calm spirit which both I and my cat appreciates and welcomes. She will always be my first choice. Much gratitude Shekyira.”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
“This was my second time working with Melissa and she was once again terrific. Able to help my cat with special needs deliver insulin shots, and I can tell by the pictures she sent that my cat (and a few outdoor feral friends of his) love her! She is great with animals and very professional and conscientious. She is my go-to!”
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: I like to observe the different personalities and traits displayed in their daily activities. Observing their behaviors to what they like and don't like and spend time giving attention to them. I'm working part-time right now at the moment but my schedule is flexible and definitely will fit in my daily routine which is greatly appreciated. I make space for the pet roam around, have lots of food and treats, walk them frequently, give them rubs and hugs, watch TV with them, give their space when needed and make sure that the house stays clean and safe by putting certain items up out of reach ensures that they don't chew or swallow objects that can be harmful to them.

About: I have over 17 years of experience in pet care from sitting in home for those who needed me to board their furry loved ones at my home. I have had many pets throughout my life to include hedgehogs, cats, dogs, rabbits, and goats. I have had a wide range of breeds from small to large and the most recent sight hounds. I rescued my bangled empress (red brindle greyhound) from racing, and while our time was short, I fell in love with her intellectual and unique personalities. Looking to walk or sit as needed. Reach out and let’s connect to see how I can help you with your busy schedule. Pet care is per diem in between my medical work. While I do take most contractual work, I tend to give pet care the same degree of care and focus I give to our fellow human beings. Engaging in pet care offers time for me to recenter and focus on the little things and be present with the furry family members! I tend to engage and meet the client when in their home. Strictly adhering to their rules of the house and their pet routine. Let’s discuss more to see how I can assist!

About: I live in Old Town and have a lab and beagle at home:) Have a lot of experience with animals and kids, and am happy to pet sit and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I work 9-5 but am up early - I love pets and would happily take cate of them overnight, evenings, mornings, or whatever that might be. I have a beautiful townhouse that is pet friendly and live in a very walkable area perfect for taking pets on walks outside if need be!

I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
About: I always loved pets growing up and would cat sit for friends nearby. I was living with my sister when we got a German Shephard puppy. I lived with her until she was 2.5 years old. So I have a lot of experience with high- energy intelligent dogs. I know quite a bit of training but don’t have any formal certifications. Love visiting with her and friends pets as well,❤️ Thank you for considering me! I am working full time (M-F 9-5) but am a morning person so I'm happy to stop by before work or in the evening. My weekends are also open. I will care for your home and pets like my own and leave it better than I found it. I also am excited to find new parks or trails to walk depending on what is near your home.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.
“My dog, Mocha, absolutely loves Rachel! I never have to worry when I leave her in Rachels care. My pup is always so happy (and exhausted) when I come back. Rachel takes special caution with my pup and her age - always taking things at her limit and being cognizant of the temperature out. Shes great at making my dog feel special and loved when I am not around. Thank you Rachel!”
“Gracie saved us with a drop-in visit on Christmas Eve. She was kind to my over excited and lonely dog. Even took her on walks out in the bitter cold. Five out of five gold star service!”
About: About Me / Pet Care Experience I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, litter box care, basic medication administration, and maintaining a pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is doing well. I have experience caring for pets and understand how important consistency, patience, and following an owner's instructions are. I take pet care seriously and always make their safety and well-being my priority. I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m especially happy to discuss each pet’s individual routine, including how much exercise, playtime, companionship, or quiet time they need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Heights
Melissa did a few drop-in visits over the long weekend while we were out and the pups were in excellent hands! She took great care of them, sent us photos, and even sent videos of our slipper and sudoku book crime scenes! RIP slippers. 😁 We look forward to working with Melissa again soon!
Caitlyn stopped in every day to check on Harper while we were on a long trip, following my long list of written instructions perfectly. I felt much less guilty about leaving knowing she was well cared for. Her dishes were kept clean, she got play sessions and clean water, and she got lots of attention.
Cait was positively amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of my English Bulldogs. She was very detailed at providing detailed feedback on everything she did. She took tons of photos and I could tell my dogs were very happy! I will use her again and again! Highly recommend her!
I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Noah was amazing as usual ! He was able to fit us in during his busy schedule so we could visit family cross country . He took very good care of our boys and made sure to communicate any and everything (per our request) . Will definitely use his services again !

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.
