“Ansley is a great sitter and a kind and sweet person. She has taken care of our pets a few times now and each time she has shown excellent service, flexibility, and respect to us, our pets, and our home. We appreciate her help and continue to look forward to her service to our furbabies.”
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.
“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!”
“Rebekah is attentive, caring, and all around fantastic. She took such good care of our pup. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone who wants quality care for their pets.”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!

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.
About: I’ve cared for pets personally for years and understand the importance of routines, exercise, attention, and patience. I’m reliable and focused on making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while owners are away. I’m very flexible during the week/weekend and respond quickly! Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work regular daytime hours and have evenings and weekends available. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention while keeping owners updated. I also work 5 minutes away from my house, and I have flexibility over my schedule completely so it makes things much easier. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During dog walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to surroundings to ensure safe, controlled walks. When pet sitting in homes, I carefully follow all instructions, keep pets on their normal routines, and make sure the home is secure before leaving. For cat check-ins, I provide food, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and calm attention based on each cat’s comfort level. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and aim to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I recently lost my dog who was almost 16 years old. So I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well and the challenges that come with it like medications, helping them with stairs, etc. I really enjoy spending quality time with the dogs and keeping them company. It’s currently off season for my job so my days are pretty free. I am really flexible from May to Sept. I will do my best to be able to accommodate with your needs. I live in a home with a big fenced in back yard. I do not have any other pets at home so there’s no need to worry your pet does not get along with others.
“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!”
“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.”
“Amber P. provided the most wonderful care for our cat, Prissy. Amber is very communicative and worked with me on the schedule to meet both of our needs. I enjoyed viewing the photos of Prissy and feedback Amber provided. Prissy was happy to see us when we arrived home. Her behavior lets me know that she was taken care of in the most gentle way. I am so very grateful for Amber's care of our cat.”

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.
