“Rachel really helped me with my dog and cat during a difficult time, she walked my dog Petey twice without being asked, out of concern for him. She cares about Petey and Busker. ❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”
About: Hi there! I’ve always loved animals and am lucky enough to have a cat of my own, Kitty, who has been with me for 6 years! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, but rest assured, I will love them as if they are my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me and I’m excited for the chance to meet them! Pet care is a priority in my schedule! I am home most of the week and during the day so I’m very flexible on time. I love to stay active so also willing to do frequent walks or play outside with your pet. I have one cat in my home and am very careful with ensuring her safety and health - she is well-maintained and clean (e.g., brushing, cleaning teeth, trimming nails) and spayed. Just let me know if your pet has any specific needs, allergies, or anything in particular to be aware of! I’m someone who loves to take photos of my cat so if you want frequent updates on your pet, I’m happy to do that too!
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for over 10 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet and friendly Bichon Poodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, daily routines, and lots of love and companionship. I always do my best to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I can also adjust my schedule to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable space for dogs to play and relax. I always follow each pet parent’s care instructions, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“I found that Chloe communicates well, follows instructions, has a good demeanor with my dog and seems sincerely interested in providing him with the best possible care.”
“Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!”
“Benny was extremely happy with Alexandra. He had some difficulty going potty and she was so nice that she went back later to give him a chance to try again. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!”
“Ambroja is a fantastic sitter - she jumped in on short notice to care for my cat Birdie when I had to travel for work. She is communicative and goes above and beyond in her sitting duties. I knew Birdie was in good hands with her!”
About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life. Most recently, my partner and I expanded our family with two kitties, Gio & Jojo. During grad school, I also worked as a professional dog walker, walking 4-6 dogs on- and off-leash on hikes around local parks, and I generally averaged about 9-12 hikes per week. (I’ll keep yours on leash unless you and I are both comfortable letting your pup off leash in less-trafficed areas). I also dog sat for many of those clients, as well as several clients here. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to leave the house during the day and evening for walks and drop-ins. I may just have to work around some meetings. My partner Zachary is a grad student with a flexible schedule who also helps out with the pet sitting! I can accommodate to whatever type of living space the pet is in. I will make sure they are given their food and water and medication if needed on schedule, they get out all of their energy during walks and playtime, their bathroom needs are taken care of, and any potential mess is cleaned up. I’ll also make sure your cat or dogs gets all the pets and cuddles they want!
About: I grew up with a senior Yorkie and learned to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I provide personalized care for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra support. My time is mostly open but I am available on weekdays during the morning and afternoon. Weekends saturday and Sunday can be free and evening if needed. Our apartment has a private fenced dog park that we are able to enter. I am also able to follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water and regular potty breaks. I can keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure both the pet and home are safe, clean, and well cared for.
“Clifmon was so nice and had the best vibes for my cat! He was on time and made sure my cat had food, water and all things necessary.. including pets and playtime! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.
“Victor was so amazing with Emily! Made sure she was well taken care of during his drop in visits. Communication was effortless with lots of photos for updates”
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Meredith was a joy to work with! She was super attentive and gave lots of helpful updates while watching my two kitties over the holidays. She is clearly an animal lover and an all around lovely human. I also really appreciated her humor. Would def book again!”

Alexandria took care of my two kitties for 2 weeks while I was away. It was my first time using her and I was very nervous. However, when she came over to meet me and the kitties I was very impressed with her. She answered all of my concerns and had a lot of good questions of her own about my cats and their care. I felt very comfortable letting her into my home and taking care of my cats. I was not disappointed! She sent me detailed notes and photos every day, and my kitchen was as neat and clean as when I left. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and good with skittish cats, I HIGHLY recommend Alexandria!
Ayanna saved the day for us! We were halfway through a 2 week trip across the world when our original sitter became injured and was unable to continue looking after our cat. We had a crazy time difference and scrambled when we woke up to the messages from the original sitter, realizing our cat hadn’t been visited that day. I found Ayanna and she immediately accepted our extremely panicked last minute request. Within an hour or two, she grabbed the keys from the original sitter and went over to visit and feed our cat. She was a LIFESAVER and we felt so relieved. For the next week we got daily updates, pics, videos, and she kept the space tidy. I would highly recommend Ayanna to look after your pets!!!
Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!
Neil did a wonderful job with my two Yorkies , Jasper and Jasmine. Prior to officially caring for my dogs he asked me very important questions regarding their habits and their personalities. He also met with me twice to meet them in person and took them on a “trial” walk to further get to know them. He followed all of my instructions and asked for clarity where warranted; which I more than appreciated. His status updates pre and post each visit were thorough. I also loved the pictures of them on their walks and when he would play catch with them. My dogs bonded with Neil as he treated my two babies like they were his. I will definitely be using Neil’s dog walking services again and have already recommended him to my bestie.
Alixandrya was amazing!! She made my trip all the more enjoyable knowing I could count on her for taking care of Minnie and he actually warmed up to her and came out to say hello & chat with her! He is very shy and cautious but her kindness and understanding helped him come out of his shell Thanks for taking good care of my boy!!
Meredith is incredible. She’s great with both of my cats, even though one is very friendly and the other is definitely more particular about people! She’s always on time, communicates really well, and gives the best updates while I’m away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the cats and takes her job seriously. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Vanessa has watched Frankie, our 3-month old mini-Aussie with boatloads of energy, twice now, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Frankie loves getting to play and run around with Vanessa, and has even learned new tricks! We really appreciate Vanessa's time and patience and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caring petsitter!
Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!

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.

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 .
