“Asher is wonderful!! She was so sweet with my senior cat, and he really liked her, too! He's usually very shy, so I was so pleased with how she handled him. And she sent me pictures and a full report each time she dropped in - her communication was amazing! I highly recommend her services!”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: I had the best childhood dog growing up. We loved walks, playing fetch, just hanging out. My passion and love for dogs has helped me become the designated office house sitter. I really have no obligations outside of work and even while working, have flexibility to go home and walk and let animals out for fresh air. Hybrid work model so even have opportunities to work from home. Happy to do whatever is needed. I do tend to spoil animals I watch, but love long walks, fetch, etc. I’ve helped animals that have needed medicine, etc.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for more than 15 years and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely love dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic medication, senior dogs, puppies, and of course plenty of attention and snuggles. I’m also comfortable getting to know each dog’s individual routine, personality, and quirks. I know how much I worry about my own dog when I’m away, so I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give mine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the evenings during the week and have more flexibility throughout the weekends. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some extra attention and company, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable and happy. I’m also respectful of your home and will always make sure your pet is safe and everything is secure before I leave. And because I know how reassuring it is when someone else is caring for your dog, I’m happy to send photos and updates during every visit!
“Carolina and Jenerth were excellent cat sitters and would 100% book with them again! my cat is very shy, but they were able to get her out from under the bed and playing. They went the extra mile with her as well as with my home. Each day, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend this them for anyone needing a compassionate and dedicated caregiver!”
About: Hi there! My name is Samantha! I love animals and I have had various pets throughout my life! i love big and small breeds and have worked with varying temperaments. I would absolutely love to meet your furry best friend and I would give them all the love that I give my 2 fur babies! :) Right now my schedule is wide open, and I have an abundance of free time to play with, care for, and love on your pets! I'm so happy to play with high energy dogs or cuddle with low energy animals however your pet likes it I can make it the setting!
“Lydia, what a blessing you are... Came out in bitter cold to take care of our dog, who loves the cold and wanted to stay outside... Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
“Rebecca did an amazing job looking after my two dogs. We hired her for drop ins when we went out of town for the week and came home with my home looking just as I left it- if not better. My dog had a couple of accidents and she made sure to clean it up. She went above and beyond and my dogs felt comfortable with her and warmed right up. One of my dogs is more shy but she did great with her. I loved the pics and my dogs had a great time with her. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have over 15 years experience providing pet care for family, friends, neighbors, and clients. Which includes, feeding, walking, providing meds, and giving them love. I work full time on M-F from 8:30-5:00, so I can do drop-ins or stay overnight at your home. I am happy to provide references upon request. I’m currently working full time from 8:30-5:00 on M-F, so I can do drop-ins before and after work or I can spend the night at your home during the week or on the weekends. I am happy to provide pet care services in your home such as feeding, walking, providing meds, changing litter boxes for cats, or cleaning up after dogs, and showing them love.
About: I have grown up around animals and have experience with elderly dogs and very anxious cats specifically. My two childhood puppies grew up and I helped assist with their needs, such as medicine and helping them walk around with patience. I also understand what it’s like to have a very anxious cat— mine is too. I have one cat, a fish, and a snail of my own now! I’m currently building my health coaching clientele working from home. I take frequent breaks to walk at the park and often spend the majority of the day working on various tasks at home. I’m very flexible with my schedule right now! Since I have an anxious and non-sociable cat of my own at home I will be more open to visits such as drop-in’s and taking fur babies out on walks at the park right now!
“Grave was fantastic! She walked my Bugsy while I was recovering from a medical condition, and she did great! She always let me know when she was on her way, and helped me with him when he split a toenail on a walk! Bugsy loved seeing her every day and went with her every time, with no issues! She even carried him a few times when he needed it!!”
About: I have been a lifelong lover of all animals in every shape, size, and species! I grew up with a dog and cat and now I have my own dog and 3 cats! I did long term pet sitting for two years while in college and now I’m ready to return full time! Animals have always been my passion in life so I cannot wait to meet yours! I also previously worked in a vet clinic so I now have knowledge in animal handling, grooming, administrating medication, and a basic understanding of common pet issues/illnesses. Fitness is also a passion of mine so I would love to take your pets on fun, long walks around the area! I am also a portrait photographer on the side so you are guaranteed to get good photos of your beautiful fur babies! My own dog, Mateo, has always been a spirited pup to say the least! With that I have gained some knowledge with basic dog training. Have a puller on your walks? I can help with it! Need some help with basic commands for a feisty puppy? I got you covered! My goal now is to solely focus on providing pet care and start building my photography business! I am available anytime Monday-Friday but also open to weekends. I love a good schedule so I would absolutely love to have reoccurring clients! I absolutely care for your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to have to leave your precious babies in someone else’s care but I promise to update you every step of the way! From when I arrive to your home, during the visit, and when I am leaving your home. If you have any questions during the visit I will be able to answer you right away! My top priority is not only your pet but also making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
About: 🐾 Looking for a few consistent dog walking or drop-in jobs to take on ☁️ 🐾 Also very open to one time services or house sitting for most animals. Feel free to message me if you have any questions ❣️ 🐾 I have experience with caring for dogs/cats of many different breeds and sizes. (Although- if you also have a pug, please extra consider booking with me! 👀) My dog is 6 and she’s the center of my universe. I also live with 4 other dogs, 3 cats, and 2 birds. Any walks will be solo so that I can fully devote my attention to your pet. 🐾 I have some experience training dogs and am happy to work on simple tricks with yours. I also house trained my own dog so it will be no problem to incorporate that into services. 🐾 I have great attention to detail and want to make sure your pet gets optimal care. Please let me know of any routines, preferences, special quirks, etc, and your baby will be treated like they’re my own. I usually am available from around 8 AM to 9 PM and can likely accommodate your schedule. I am currently only accepting nearby requests for quick visits, with more flexibility for overnight stays. I do not offer boarding or daycare, so when your pet and I are hanging out it while be in & around your home. Any rules or preferences that you have will be followed and respected as if it were my space.
“Great! This was our first experience with Rover; also we were visiting from out of town. We made arrangements to meet Heather prior to the drop-in visit. Everything went as scheduled; Heather came to our hotel on-time and did the drop-in visit at the time planned (she took and texted photos of our baby outside and her eating dinner). Heather was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her and if we return to the area will book her again with complete confidence.”
About: What sets me apart from others sitters? Well I don’t always sit. I get up and move around making sure your favorite gets the exercise they need and deserve. It’s important to me that I give my clients value. While pet setting I can also help clean and organize for extra compensation. I want you to return to your home and pet satisfied and unburdened. I spend the time to build rapport with your pet so that they are happy and healthy. We can look at each other’s schedules and see if it works. If it does awesome!!! Yay for Us. If not we can figure something out. I even have some friends on this app that I can refer. I can accommodate your pet in just about anyway that you need. You just let me know of specifications and I can assist them. Within means that is.
“Sam is the best! She cares for our three kitties as though they are her own. Our girls aren't the easiest, they come with lots of instructions and they each have their own distinct personalities and Sam loves each of them just the way they are and does such a good job every time we book her. Thank you!”
“Fatima took such good care of my kitty! And never failed to send updates and tons of photos! I could not recommend her enough as someone to trust to take care of your fur baby❤️❤️”

Joanna was fantastic! She took such good care of our pups. Provided great updates after visits and pictures. We are visiting Louisville from out of town and knowing she was able to check in on the dogs gave us piece of mind. Would definitely book her again next time we are back.
Absolutely loved having Ashlea care for our girl gang of kitties! 2 of our girls are newly adopted shelter kittens and very shy. They didn’t hesitate for one second to get close with Ashlea and I could tell they quickly looked forward to seeing her each day. She will definitely be my go-to for pet sitting from now on. Thankful for the great care she took of our pets and our home ☺️
Jian looked after my cats for two weeks when I was on vacation. She did absolutely amazing job and my cats loved her so much. She communicated very promptly, super gentle to my babies and maintained everything exactly as I expected. She also sent me pictures and videos every visits. Highly recommended.
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.
Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!

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.
