“Molly is absolutely amazing with our lab puppy. Worked with us for both weekly drop in visits and helped out on the weekends. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Ella was fantastic!! Loved getting to see a pic of our girls every day, quick to respond, and she was always on time ❤️ would have her watch our girls again in a heartbeat!”
“Erika was excellent with my fur babies! I got pictures and updates on every visit. She took great care and was so polite and professional. She takes excellent pictures and put your mind at ease while away. Highly recommend her and will be using her again when we travel! Thank you!”
About: I have grown up with several animals my whole life. Currently I have many animals, including 5 dogs and 4 cats, and have been through countless of puppy and kitten stages as well as seniority stages of life. I’m very familiar with potty training, crate training, and even simple commands such as sit, down, and paw. I also have experience raising small animals (such as hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits) and exotics (snakes, sugar gliders, birds). I’m available on Thursdays all day until about 5:30 pm as I have class at 6 pm. On Fridays I am usually available all day unless I have a prior babysitting commitment! I can follow any instructions given to me about how to care for your pet in your home. Whether that’s hanging out at home, taking them for a walk, simply letting them outside in a fenced in yard, or having a fun outing at the dog park!
“I’m so glad I found Wendy! She was sweet, prompt, and left detailed reports and pictures so I knew our dog was being well taken care of while we were away. I look forward to booking with Wendy again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for about 9 years and have also helped with neighbors pets. I understand how important it is to have trusted care for your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I provide safe, comfortable, and attentive care your pet can trust. I’m typically available Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and happy to coordinate around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. I make sure pets are safe, well cared for, and happy, following their daily routine and giving regular updates so you know they’re doing well.
“Betty watched our cats while we were out of town and took such good care of them- we really appreciate her attention to detail and consideration- she even brought in a few Amazon packages which were left outside. We’re thankful to have found such a good pet sitter- thank you Betty!”
About: Hello! Aside from growing up around dogs all my life, (a pug and rotties!) I also worked at two animal hospitals as a kennel attendant. Kennel attendants are responsible for taking care of your dogs & cats while you're away! Working in an animal hospital also helped me recognize behaviors that dogs/cats show when they are sick or injured, which helped me be prepared to know when to seek medical assistance. I am also experienced with all personalities of dogs/cats: the anxious, playful, silly, aggressive and pets with attachment anxiety! I am confident with my experience working in hospitals and also hanging around dogs and cats daily that your pets will be safe and happy with me. I treat them as if they are my own! I do work part-time, but my schedule is flexible! Currently, I am off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. As I gain more clients I would like to have less hours at my current job and be able to pick up more hours pet-sitting! I understand that routine is super important for most animals, (feeding times, going potty, playtime and bedtime) so I always try to keep consistent with what they are used to.
“Paws is normally more skittish around strangers, but Ashley did a fantastic job making her feel comfortable! We were gone for 2 weeks over the holidays and she kept us up to date with photos and notes of what Paws was getting up to!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life but in the previous 5 years is when I started to watch and take care of them more often I have plenty of time during the week and or weekends to watch 1 or multiple animals. I can stay overnight or do multiple drop in visits a day. I will make sure I have eyes on them on the whole time and tend to their needs when they need something. I will never walk them without a leash and steer away from other dogs being walked when I’m walking yours.
About: I have grown up my whole life with two dogs at a time. I have years of experience with small-large dogs. I understand the love, care, and needs of your pet. I am involved in a pet therapy research study with my full-time job. Dogs are the best! Two days a week I have flexibility throughout the day, and I am mostly available on the weekends for drop-ins. I would love to fill this time by caring for your pet, whether it be letting them out, taking them for a walk, feeding them, playing with them, giving them treats, and/or administering medications if needed. I will treat your pet as my own. I hope to brighten their day just as they brighten mine. It can be hard when life gets busy, or the workdays are long, and I hope to give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is well taken care of when you can't be there.
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.

These friends of ours sense good people with the first sniff, which makes me confident Im fit for the job!

“Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy! I will rebook with her now every time and I’m telling all my family and friends to use her!”
About: I have been a pet lover all my life. I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years now. Your fur babies will be in the best care possible with me and enjoy a nice nap after all our walks and play time. I currently work from home, therefore, i have open availability in my schedules to help take care of your fur babies at any time of day :) I have an unfenced yard and lawn space that our pups play in. They can be territorial so all bookings will need to be done outside of my home. My schedule is always open

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.
