“Alexis has been very open to working with my dog with special behavior considerations. My dog loved her and warmed up much more quickly than I expected! While she is a relatively new Rover and is still learning all the intricacies when it comes to navigating this line of work, her transparency and openness makes me believe that she will go far in the animal care field.”


“Tressa and Blake were highly communicative, reliable and professional with me. I highly recommend them for drop in visits for your cats and dogs, and administering oral medications to your animals if needed!”


About: I have grown up with many animals. I have had all different types of breeds from a collie, chihuahua, husky, to a Great Dane. I have 2 of my own fur babies who are so sweet & playful. I’m a caring, reliable pet lover who understands how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. I have let sit for many families before and have never had any issues!! I am a stay at home mom with my two littles so I am always home! I do have 2 dogs of my own so we go for walks, the dog park, or just play fetch out back. I am always here to keep an eye on the pups and make sure they’re well taken care of. My apartment has a dog park where your fur baby can play! I also have 2 dogs of my own to help keep your baby entertained. I care for pets in my home the same way I care for my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I keep a clean, pet-safe space and make sure each pet gets personalized care, whether that’s sticking to their routine, extra playtime, or just a cozy place to rest.
“Alex was great! She gave updates on how her interaction with my cattos went. She also went above and beyond when l asked if she could return to my home to turn the heat on after her visit had ended meant everything. 🥹 Very quick responses and cared for my cattos as if they were hers. Thank you!”

“Samantha was phenomenal! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me with my Ozzie boy. She asked permission to bring her kids and they were great with my boy and got all of his puppy energy out. One thing I loved was that she sent me pictures and videos of my boy while she was with him. She also left me with a selection of treats for him, which I thought was super sweet I will definitely be using her in the future.”

“I can't say enough amazing things about Brooke! She was available SUPER short notice and took amazing care of our animals! They also loved her from the word go... 1000/10!!!”

“Ansley is a knowledgeable, communicative and attentive caretaker and went above and beyond to be flexible when I had to leave my 8-week-old puppy to go to an appointment. She gave me peace of mind and some sweet puppy photos. So thankful!”

About: WARNING- I send soooooo many pic and video updates to pet parents. If you don’t like for constant updates I may not be the sitter for you. I am a huge dog person, my aunt is a veterinary technician, and since I was a child, I went to work with her every weekend to assist her with cleaning the kennels, sitting with the dogs the veterinary clinic owned. Observing the animals behavior. I’ve owned a dog since I was five years old. Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine. Anytime I see one out and about, I always ask if I can pet it or Love on it. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier named Kira Bella, I’ve owned her for four years. She is an ex show dog. She’s my child. I treat her no differently than a human would treat their own child. So I know the importance of finding the right person to care for your dog or cat. I am very picky about who watches my girl so I understand, just know that your fur baby is in good hands with me and I will treat them like they are my own fur baby. I have several clients that have booked with me that loved the service I’ve provided for them. I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we are compatible, if we vibe well together then I will book you in right away! I own my own business so I make my own hours, I’ll have plenty of time to care for your babies as my work is very flexible. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own, if they are allowed on the furniture, I will cuddle with them. If they need to be crated , I have no problem crating them. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to your baby. I was raised with an aunt that is a veterinary technician so I spent a lot of time at the vet clinic with her learning how to handle animals and give them medication.
“Jennifer took great care of my cat! She was always on time for visits, and even sometimes stayed a few minutes longer than requested to give my cat some extra time. She always replied to messages quickly. She even brought new toys for my cat to try so she wouldn’t get bored when I was gone. Jennifer is super trustworthy!”

“Danielle did a great job taking care of my dog & cat when I went out of town. The check in notes and photos helped keep my mind at ease knowing my girls were well taken care of. Would highly recommend”

About: Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am a proud dog mama with a lifelong love for animals. I have been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years and understand that our pets are much more than animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you’re away, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pets. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight and extended house sitting, senior pet care, puppy care, and supporting pets that experience anxiety, separation stress, or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime and belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar companion, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I know how important communication is for pet parents, so I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet who feels loved and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and look forward to meeting both you and your pets! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as an attorney during the week, which means I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and following detailed instructions. I am available for morning and evening drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and medication administration before and after work on weekdays. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and most holidays, making me a great option for weekend getaways, holiday travel, and regular pet care needs. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will always provide timely updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. My primary focus is providing care in your pet’s home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether that includes walks, feeding, administering medication, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to treating your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. As an attorney, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and attention to detail. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. If boarding in my home is needed, I can accommodate pets on a case-by-case basis. I have dogs of my own, so visiting pets would be safely separated to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. My goal is always to provide a secure, loving, and low-stress experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I have a lot of experience with dog watching. I've been watching my friend's two dogs every time she would go on work trips, or just to go home and visit her family. I take them out for a walk 2-3 times a day and feed them twice a day. I would always watch her apartment for her. I know I would be a great sitter because I am an animal lover (vegetarian), and I have a huge amount of patience and love for dogs. They do good a job of helping me relax because all they have is a lot of love to give. They will receive plenty of play time and love. Animals make me happy and that's what makes them amazing to me. I currently work remote in the city of Columbus, therefore I always have time to take care of animals and keep them entertained. Although I do not have any pets of my own, I am a huge animal lover! I make sure the pets are well taken care of while their parents are away. They also get all the play time and belly rubs that they can take lol
“Lindsey did such an amazing job with our dogs and made sure to send us lots of updates and pictures! I definitely recommend using her! We will be using her in the future for sure!!!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fortson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
