“A delightful lady who was very good at sending pictures of our fur baby as her visit went. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will gladly ask her to check in on our fur baby again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, first as a dog owner for 8 years and now cats. I have some experience in fostering. I’m also taking care of several stray cats outside my yard, making sure they’re fed and hydrated daily. Those who know me knows how much love I have for animals- so much so that I often find myself putting their needs before my own. Whether it’s providing comfort, playtime, or presence, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m available Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, as well as all day on Saturdays. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, a potty break, a walk, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help! Drop-in visits: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and playtime. Dog walking: Walks after work during weekdays and full days on Saturdays. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of safe space for my pets to run and play. Since I’m usually the only person home during the day, the environment is quiet and calm. I also set clear boundaries to help them feel secure and understand their space.
About: Growing up there’s always been animals apart of my family. I’ve been responsible for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and snake's! I always enjoy getting to know new animals, and learning what works best for them. I’m currently a full-time student and mom which normally limits my pet care to Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:30am-2pm. Additional care can be scheduled on Saturdays if needed. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by checking leashes, matching your dog’s pace, and keeping them hydrated. After the walk, I wipe paws and refill their water. For check ins, I follow your routine for feeding, medication if needed, and potty breaks, leaving plenty of time for play and cuddles. During every service, I ensure your home is secure and will send a detailed Rover report card with photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe and happy!
“Nicole was very attentive and detailed with her check ins. She provided plenty of information in her visits and took plenty of pictures of our dogs, her communication with us while we were away was excellent. She also took care of our home and cleaned up a couple of accidents while we were away. She is very caring and I would highly recommend her and she will be our first choice in the future should we need sitting services again. Thank you so much Nicole!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats and have owned both! Pet sitting isn't just a job for me, it brings me joy! I've been around animals all my life and I am also bilingual! I work part time only 8am to 1pm so I am fully available after that! On Saturdays I work 9-3! I'd love to fit in pet care anywhere after! I care for my 2 cats with constant love, attention, play time and stimulation! They are very well loved! I have also taken care of my family dog for almost my entire life! No matter what age or breed I am %100 capable!
“John was AMAZING! So kind and took amazing care of my animals. He was also very punctual too and provided tons of pics and feedback on how the walks went and general behavior. Will definitely be looking to book him again if he is available!!”
About: Kittens, senior cats, senior dogs, and pets from shy to boisterous have all received my care, without trouble. I pride myself on attention to detail. Flexible scheduling. I will do my best to work with your schedule. The best bet is weekends, but I am flexible. Dog walks in the mornings would be best in this summer heat Also late afternoons or evenings. Currently not offering doggie daycare or boarding in my home. Possibly In the future. In your home, I will follow your guidance when I accept the assignment.
“Demi was excellent. She was communicative the entire time we were gone, with updates, pictures and videos. Mr. Eleanor Roosevelt told us that he had a great time each time Demi visited! We would definitely have Demi sit him again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and personal experience. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I’m always eager to learn your dog’s unique needs and preferences. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and have most weekends free, allowing me to provide attentive, loving care and plenty of quality time for your fur babies When babysitting pets in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside when needed, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I always follow the pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life since I was a teen. I myself was the proud owner of a miniature schnauzer for over 16 years, so I understand the desire to take excellent care of your pet, ensuring they are fed, walked, and most of all, loved! I would take care of your pet like they were my own. I'm currently searching for a full-time position for work, so I'm able to be more flexible during the week than what is typical when I'm working full-time in an office setting. That being said, I am flexible to take care of your pet during the work day or in the evenings for the time being! I am a calm and easygoing individual who would be able to follow instructions you leave for me in order to provide the same structure and routine for your pet that they typically have with you at home.
“I could not say thank you enough to Cam!! She went above and beyond for our fur babies! And at a short notice! She made sure they were so loved 🥰 They may even love Cam more than us now! If you want to make sure your sitter goes above and beyond, book with Cam!”
“The dogs seem very happy and content with Ashley And that's what's important She watched over my house, and dealt with multiple boxes shipped to my house. Everything was kept up with perfectly”
“Courtney was fantastic. She cared for our two babies (??) and we were very pleased. I loved seeing the pictures from the daily visits, which felt like we were never away. Luna and Lola were very happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
“Miranda is our go to for all our vacations away from our babies! She is so attentive and so helpful! Always very communicative and responsive. It feels so good to be able to leave our pets at home and know they are in safe and loving hands! Thank you sweet Miranda for everything you do! Our pups LOVE YOU!”
“Karina did an awesome job! She was reliable and trustworthy coming to our home to check on our boys and play with them while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”
About: I have always had pets in my life. When I was growing up, we would often adopt dogs and cats needing a loving home into our family! I also grew up sharing my home with adopted rabbits, birds, hamsters, and fish. I am a 20 year veteran teacher and would love to spend some of my summer time helping you take care of your fur babies. I'm coming to the end of my school year and have late afternoons into evenings free during the week, as well as full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can do earlier mornings during the week if needed, but only for drop ins for morning feedings. I have a senior dog and cat in my home, so I will only be offering services at client's homes. My services include walking your dog, playing catch, lap time with kitty cats, belly rubs and more! Although you will see photos of my family with our pets in my profile, I will be taking care of your pet(s) without any assistance from others, and would be the only one coming to your home to visit or stay with your pet.
About: I've been a foster carer for various greyhound organizations here (ATX and DFW) and in Australia. I get the hounds that are cat safe and get them used to living with cats. I'm always fostering, which is why I cannot take in more dogs for sitting, but I can do pop-ins. Before I fostered greyhounds, I used to petsit for friends' parents. I love to scritch ears, make up stupid songs for them, and play on the floor. My current pack consists of two sighthound mixes and two middle-management cats. Am I Katy or Mary? Both. The joy of going by either the first name or the nickname. You can call me Katy. The IRS can keep calling me Mary ... and please, if you're from IRS, don't call me. I am currently working from home and would love the excuse to get out and walk or, when it's really too hot, engage in play in the backyard. I am mindful of the various personalities I could encounter. I understand that not all pets want to play. Some want to chill and know that you're there. Others need to get that energy out. When doing pop ins, I would be mindful of what their humans say.

April was so wonderful with my cat! I was very worried about leaving him because he takes medication. But April's quick communication--and her love of cats--put me at ease. She was able to give him his meds without issue and sent me lots of pictures. I will absolutely book with her again!
Our 4, high-maintenance kitties were very well cared for while we were away. Yung was very thorough with her updates at each visit and was delightful to work with. She even cleaned up after our messy little kitties. Definitely recommend and would gladly hire again!

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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
