“Elyssa was took extremely good care of our pets while we were gone for a week. She sent daily updates and photos and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for! I will definitely be rebooking her next time we go on vacation!”
“Shayna watched my cat while I was away in Europe for a wedding. Leaving your pet is always hard, especially when going abroad. But Shayna gave me so much peace of mind. Great communication, responsive, and super caring. She even checked in on me during my journey back to make sure I made it safely. I highly recommend her, I know I will use her for my next trip :)”
“Emma was amazing! She helped us out for a week and went above and beyond taking care of the pets and cleaning up any messes they made. Would highly recommend!”
About: I don't know what it is just all dogs take a liking to me right away. I believe every dog is special and unique, incredible. As of now my schedule is very open I only have one client currently my kids in school husband at work I need new dog friends I treat my clients home with respect only going to where I've been instructed everything I need for the dogs is located always lock up
About: My family has owned dogs for my entire life, so my childhood was filled with taking them on walks. Over the last few summers I began walking other people's dogs, as well as assisting my sister with pet sitting as a way to save for college. Now that I'm in college, I decided to continue working with dogs as a way to get out of the house and get a little extra money. I am still attending classes throughout most of the week and I have other responsibilities in the evenings, but Friday through Monday mornings are usually open for me. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and am generally strong enough to handle excitable dogs. I am willing to take alternate routes and of course I will always pick up after your pet. I give ample time for the dogs to explore their environment, especially if they rarely get out of the house.
“We appreciated Savannah taking care of the girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that the girls were in great hands. Will definitely book again with Savannah.”
“Apple is awesome. Our little fur baby got out and she was able to get there right away to help us get him back in. Highly recommend her to take care of anyone’s fur babies.”
About: I’ve always enjoyed watching my friends/neighbors pets and this is a great way to continue doing what I love. I volunteer at shelters when I am able to, which has given me the experience of breeds all shapes and sizes! I got my first dog, Cassiar, a Jack Russell Terrier, when I was just 3 years old. Growing up alongside her taught me important lessons about understanding dogs' unique needs, behaviors, and the deep, unconditional bond we share with our pets. With this knowledge, I strive to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved! I am currently taking online classes so I am home 24/7 and have a very flexible schedule! Making it easy for me to cater towards your pets needs. I have a fenced yard that has plenty of room to roam around! 2.8 arces. As well as a clean environment for your pets to make them feel at home.
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my two cats. She stopped by twice a day, sent regular updates, and when I returned home, everything seemed in order. Reasonable fee as well.”

If they are spending the night I have dog beds. They would have friends to play with that would require a meet and great
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I have also pet sat for family and friends for extended periods, as well as provided drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy, a laid-back senior, or somewhere in between, I will tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like one of my own. No matter their personality, I am sure I will love them! I'm currently a college student at UNCo working two part-time jobs. I am busy, but I have plenty of time for your pups on the weekends and evenings some nights. While I cannot currently do pet-sitting, I am open to walking and drop-ins. When walking dogs and doing in-home visits, I will maintain the highest level of care and caution. I will treat your dog as my own and make the experience so fun for your fur baby!
About: My wife and have had dogs most of our life and multiple dogs at the same time throughout our 15 years of marriage. She previously worked with HABIC (human animal bond in colorado) to train her dog as a therapy dog to work in hospitals. We currently have 2 dogs, Bear a 13 y/o pyrinesse and Sasha a 8 month old rez dog rescue. Dogs are always welcome here. Dog ages dont matter, Bear has a gentle spirit to him and he loves puppies. Our only requirement is the dogs do a meet and greet and as long as they are good with each other so are we. We can help with minor training i.e. potty training, crate training, sit, shake etc. if you request it. Currently there is someone home 24 hours a day to play with and care for your puppies. I work a flex schedule and my wife is home during the days. We have 6 foot fenced yard for room to run outside, but prefer for their comfort to keep the pups indoors in the ac. We do have a smaller dog run if you prefer your pup to hang out outside. Fresh water is always out. We have several dog beds so they have comfy places to lay and we will work with your feeding schedule. We are familiar with giving oral medications if needed. Treats are handed out on the regular because the puppies deserve them.
“This is the first time I’ve ever used a pet sitter and I couldn’t be happier, I’m planning on taking more trips in the near future and Spencer will be my first choice no questions asked”
“Jessica was so great at taking care of Luka. The updates that she sent with pictures were reassuring that Luka was in great care.

About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs since I was 13. My families and friends have relied on me to take good care of their dogs. I also have been working with a doggy daycare for the past 2 years. I currently don't have a job and I'm only busy with school. I have a lot of time on the weekends and later in the day to be able to take care of your dogs. I will do whatever it is I'm allowed to do with your dog in your house. I will not put your dog in a crate while I'm there unless if they need to be.
About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Asjah was great! She was super communicative even when her visit timing had to be adjusted because of work. She followed our instructions perfectly and most importantly our animals were happy, healthy and well cared for upon our return. I would absolutely recommend her!
Salamae is the best! My cat is very reticent, but at their first meeting, my cat came right up to Salamae to be petted. Salamae proved herself to be reliable, followed all of my instructions, and showed sensitivity and care for my cat. Booking with Salamae gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of state dealing with a stressful family emergency.
I’ve honestly never left a review anywhere before, but Raquel deserves one—without question. The fact that I’m taking the time to write this should say a lot about how incredible she is at what she does. Raquel went above and beyond in caring for my dogs, Juno and Charlie. From the very beginning, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. She was attentive, responsible, and incredibly thoughtful, making sure they were not only safe and well cared for, but also comfortable and happy. She kept me at ease the entire time, and I never once had to worry about my dogs while they were with her. If I could give her 10 stars out of 5, I would—but since it only allows 5, just know that’s not an exaggeration. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional as a dog sitter, Raquel is it. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her watch my dogs again, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their pets.

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.
