“Amy was so amazing. Always on time and very good with our senior dog down to our very energetic golden retriever. Very kind and so communicative. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“Megan is AWESOME! She is so dependable and we never have to worry about our fur baby while we are away. She takes the time to play and give a lot of attention to our kitty. She also updates us with lots of photos showing a very happy kitty. I highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs!”
“Daniel is kind, patient, and gentle. He takes the time to go slow and make sure your dog is comfortable. We have hired him a couple of times now and he has given us great relief that our dog is taken care of while we're gone”
“Fantastic drop-in visits! friendly and took great care of my shy cat. It’s rare for my cat to warm up to someone so quickly, which speaks volumes about their care. Will absolutely book again!"”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We love Nadia! She is incredibly caring and she communicated with us everyday about out babies. We felt extremely comfortable with her visiting our house and taking care of our group of trouble makers. We will definitely work with her again! Thank you nadia!”
“Stacie was the perfect balance of professional and compassionate! She excitedly accepted the challenge of caring for my big hissy cat, taking time to understand how he communicates. Where other sitters may have been afraid or mad, Stacie was purposeful and determined. During my 3-week absence, I felt confident my boy was given as much love and attention that Stacie could give. She went above and beyond by watering my plants and collecting mail, but also by telling me when some issues occurred and sending tons of pictures. I'd book her again in a second, even if just to give my cat some extra social time. <3”
About: I’m someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs and believes every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their owners are away! What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog individually. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy learning what makes each one unique. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, a little shy, or happiest cuddled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they deserve. I have experience working with puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience, a slower pace, or mobility assistance. Additionally, I’m comfortable administering medication and following specific care instructions to help keep your dog healthy and on their regular routine. At the end of the day, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care, so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Abigail is super professional and friendly. I felt very at ease leaving my young cat in her care. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking her for future pet sittings!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes. I’ve worked with puppies, special needs, and senior dogs. I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently doing some part time internship work during the week. But my schedule is flexible especially on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are free. I love spending time with animals. I am able to bathe, walk, crate, feed, and give medications. I would love to come meet your pets!
About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!
About: I have come in for drop ins for a house with 2 dogs, I have fed, bathed and walked a small dog before, I love to play with them so they get good exercise and when I’m with cats I try to respond to their needs whether they just wanna cuddle or keep their distance. I’m currently in charge of watching a hamster who I took care of for 3 months prior, but realistically I just love animals. I don’t think pets are any different from kids in that they require love, care, and attentiveness. I wanna make sure your dog has the best day ever and can rest in my safety. I will keep your house tidy, messes contained and send you as many pictures and messages you need to feel assured.
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a pet in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals through dog and cat sitting, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. One of the experiences I’m most proud of is helping reunite three lost dogs with their families. Animals have always been a part of who I am, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it has always felt like a calling. Starting September 4, I’ll have a flexible schedule and will be available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog or cat sitting throughout the day. This isn’t just a side hustle for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had pets since I was a child, cared for many dogs and cats over the years, and have even helped reunite three lost dogs with their families. I truly enjoy earning an animal’s trust and giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving, dependable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re my own, I’d love the opportunity to help! One of the biggest benefits I offer is caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, keeps their daily routine consistent, and allows them to feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care—just as if you were home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: Hello my name is Jason, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your dog's unique personality and energy levels. I prioritize safety and engagement above all else. I provide consistent updates, ensuring you always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I treat every furry friend like family and look forward to making our walks the highlight of their day! What I offer: M-F Mid day around 11am-1pm And afternoon from 4pm-8pm Weekends: Anytime! Please reach out for other hours as I am flexible, and would love to make it work! Since I offer both in-home visits and boarding, my approach focuses on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine regardless of the setting. Here is how I handle care for both: When I visit your home, the goal is to keep your pet’s environment as stable as possible. Routine Maintenance: I follow your specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to the letter so your pet feels like you never left. Security & Safety: I ensure your home is secure upon arrival and departure. I also check for any household hazards or messes that need tidying. Quality Companionship: Beyond the essentials, I spend dedicated time playing, brushing, or just sitting with your pet to alleviate any separation anxiety. Boarding (My House) When a pet stays with me, I treat them like a temporary member of my own family. Safe Space: I provide a clean, pet-proofed environment with designated areas for resting, eating, and play. Supervised Socialization: If I have other pets in the house, all interactions are closely supervised and introduced slowly to ensure everyone stays happy and safe. Constant Monitoring: I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and energy levels to ensure they are adjusting well to the new surroundings. The Golden Rule: No matter the location, I prioritize fresh water, clear communication (including "pupdates"), and lots of positive reinforcement. My goal is a happy, relaxed pet and total peace of mind for you.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have had pets my whole life and have gained the nickname Dr. Doolittle because of how good I am with all types of animals! I have always been a natural at caretaking for animals and kids. I have experience working with behavioral and nervous dogs as well as all sizes of dogs. I am currently a full-time graduate student studying special education and literacy. On weekdays I am student-teaching during school day hours (7am-3pm) and on weekends I am typically busy doing homework! Over the summer I work as a teaching assistant where my hours are 8:30am-2:30pm on weekdays. On the weekends I am able to spend the majority of the time caring for pets, often hanging out with them and doing homework, and taking breaks to play and go on walks! During the week while I am working I am able to stop in for walks and feeding after work and class. When caring for pets in a clients home I am always sure that I know where everything I may need is located in the home including food, treats, collars, leashes, potty bags, kitty litter, scoops, etc. I also am sure to check in with clients so I know what areas of the home are totally off limits and what is allowed (for me and the pets!). I always do my best to create an environment for pets so that they feel safe and comfortable with me in their home so that they know they can trust me!
About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single apartment, with a lots of room for any small or medium sized doggies. I also love runs and long walks if they’re more in the mood to be more playful
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin Morton! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—growing up, we always had dogs, and that love for pets only grew stronger as I got older. I spent 5 years working at Mohawk Hudson as the Admissions Supervisor and also served as one of the Animal Cruelty Officers. During that time, I worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me patience, understanding, and how to provide the best care possible. The “bad nuggets” have always been my favorite—I love working with animals who might need a little extra time, reassurance, or structure. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, training reinforcement, or just sticking to their daily routine, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work most days at most times. I will always have time for the pups, hope to meet your fur babies How I Care for Pets in My Home: In my home, pets become part of the family. I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and feel right at home. They’ll get plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, along with a routine that’s as close to their own as possible. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with cozy areas for them to rest, and I always supervise play to make sure everyone is happy and safe
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Hunter
This was my first time leaving my boys for a vacation and Amy was great with communication and calming my nerves. She went above and beyond and did a few extra tasks I didn't even ask of her. I will definitely be recommending her services to friends and family, and I'd be more than happy to leave my boys in her care for future vacations!
Pam was an outstanding dog sitter. When our schedule changed at the last minute, Pam stepped in to take care of Emma, our beagle mix. Pam let us know when she arrived, send pictures of Emma during her visit, and followed our instructions to keep Emmatethered outside in our backyard. We will definitely call on Pam again. Thank you so much.
This was our second occasion booking Debbie and consisted of 25 visits spanning 9 days. You are an absolute treasure Debbie and our two pups and kitty were so well cared for during our absence. Thank you very much for all of the detailed updates and wonderful pictures - our family thoroughly enjoyed each one! We look forward to working with you again real soon!
Stacie was the perfect balance of professional and compassionate! She excitedly accepted the challenge of caring for my big hissy cat, taking time to understand how he communicates. Where other sitters may have been afraid or mad, Stacie was purposeful and determined. During my 3-week absence, I felt confident my boy was given as much love and attention that Stacie could give.

I'd book her again in a second, even if just to give my cat some extra social time. <3

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.
