“I'm very pleased with the services that Tricia G provided for us. This was something very new to us cause we normally have family to help out but they wasn't available at the time. But I can say that I would recommend her to anyone that needs service and we would most definitely us her again. Thanks so much Tricia we greatly appreciate it.”

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: Ive worked at a pet resort for past two years providing doggy daycare and kennel care to boarders. I did dog walking and enrichment at the humane society. Spent most of my time there caring for elder dogs and ones without company. Ive also fostered elder dogs and puppies. At home in Florida I also own two dogs a 2 year old golden doodle and a 16 year old boxer. I am free every morning and evening throughout the week. I have class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-3 and Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-1:30. I have practices for an two at night usually 5:30-7:30. I am free any other time though. Im usually a very active person so I will make sure your dog is getting lots of care and activity. This will depend on the service. If you are boarding your pet will stay in my home and be nicely taken care of and fed at appropriate feeding schedules. I am very loving on all dogs and great at building their trust. Daycare the dog would stay during the day and experience a lot of energy relief allowed to bring siblings with. Dog walking again giving great exercise and gets nice stops with lot of loving.

About: We are a pet loving family of 4 with our good boy, Titus, and two kittens Nikko and Luna. We love to play with Titus outside in our backyard, teach him tricks and cuddle with him on the sofa. We keep our pets up to date on rabies vaccine and flea treatments. I was raised on a farm so I am very comfortable being around all sorts of animals. I have been sitting on Rover for over 5 years and I love it! I work full time at home and some travel. I am available all weekend for walks, drop-ins, boarding and sitting. During the weekdays I have flexibility with my schedule, contact me and we can discuss arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s). We can play with your furry friend outside or inside. We can go for walks around the neighborhood or in our woods. Tanglewood dog park is just a 15 minute drive from us where we can play and go on long walks. At your house we can go for walks, play catch, learn tricks, and cuddle.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from tarantulas and fish to horses, donkeys, and just about everything in between! Whether your pet has fur, feathers, scales, or eight legs, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I have extensive experience working with puppies, senior pets, and reactive dogs. I'm comfortable training puppies by reinforcing good habits and routines, administering oral and topical medications, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets need. I'm also known for my ability to build trust with reactive, anxious, or shy animals by moving at their pace and creating a calm, low-stress environment. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced, capable hands. I pet sit full time so I am always available to take care of your pups! I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very respectful of your and your pet’s home, always following directions and daily care. I don’t offer boarding currently but I do offer overnight visits.

My Lucy lived having Brittney care for her! Brittney did an excellent job! She did everything that I requested and sent me a report and pictures every day which was very reassuring to me. I highly recommend Brittney, I will certainly use her 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
