“the sweetest and most responsible cat sitter ever. after forgetting to leave my key under the mat and asking my landlord to do it, Brianna made sure to swing back and check on my kitty and updated me the entire time. she’s honestly amazing and very responsive! highly highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Ken. I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for and training dogs of all breeds from toy yorkies to pitt bulls. My favorite thing about dogs is the unconditional love they have to give. I enjoy playing fetch in the back yard, long walks, and even snuggling up with the little pups. You can be confident in choosing me to care for your dogs. I will treat your dogs like they are one of my own. Book with me today!
About: I have a degree in Animal Science and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats. I regularly house sit for families with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, ducks, cows, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable managing different care routines and environments. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, leash walking, crate routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need medications, mobility support, or extra patience and attention. My education allows me to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels, and I take a calm, knowledgeable approach to animal care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following each owner’s instructions closely. Above all, I genuinely love animals of all kinds and care for every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets I care for. I’m also currently saving money for a big trip at the end of the year, so I have lots of availability and am happy to dedicate my time to giving your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because of this schedule, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, feedings, medications, and check-ins and adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally plan my days around the animals I’m caring for. I truly enjoy spending time with the animals I care for. Pet sitting isn’t just a responsibility for me—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and building trust with them, whether that’s through playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or barn chores. The time I get to spend with them is one of the best parts of what I do, and I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect.
About: Hi everyone I have been looking to pet sit along wirh my other jobs... pe teacher and waitress. I absolutely love animals and have taken care of several but looking to look after more. I am extremely reliable and dependable. I do not keep dogs in my home but will take great care of other animals My work schedule fluctuates. I work in a school system 8 to 3 and I work a few nights a week. I can easily schedule time to be flexible to tqke care of animals. If needed I can stay with pets in someone's home or I can come at different times. I follow instructions given to me and go from there
About: I’ve had the privilege of being born into a dog family. Dogs are more than a pet, or even a man’s best friend- they’re literally family. I might argue that they receive better treatment than family, but they’re too cute not to! While every single person in my family has a dog, I unfortunately do not. My family lives in St. Louis, MO and I live in Ruston, LA for school. But there’s no denying I miss my dogs. I think this opportunity would allow me to fulfill that void and take a load off your list. A win/win scenario! (I’m also on a 10k/day step journey so this would make it less boring!) I have experience with all sized dogs and different breeds ranging from Rottweilers, Poodles, English Bulldogs, Maltipoos, Shitzus, Maltese, Mix Breeds and more. I can do short walks around the neighbors or longer walks on a trail which I have a seasonal pass to Lincoln Parish Park. I have a full SUV with covered seats to accommodate your baby! I currently work from home and also am doing school online so my schedule is extremely flexible and what I make it to be. I can work from anywhere if need be so it’s never an issue for me. In my clients home, I would make sure I play it by their book and carefully review their instructions. I will also work on gaining the dogs trust by giving it extra love, cuddles, and attention so they can familiarize themselves with me.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
We had a great experience with Tracey while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our cat and made sure everything was handled just the way we asked. It was clear she genuinely cared, not just about completing the task, but about making sure our cat felt comfortable and less stressed while we were away. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, which says everything. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and attentive.
Emily did a great job! The photos she sent me when I was out of town demonstrated that my cats were relaxed and happy. She even got a picture of my very skittish kitty sitting on a rug and that was a major accomplishment! Everyone was well taken care of while I was out of town. I highly recommend Emily and I will use her the next time I’m out of town.

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.
