About: Cats are my favorites creatures on this planet and I've been caring for them so long its second nature In 2016 i began my journey of dog love when i met my first dog soulmate skyley who was a black and white rat terrier. Ive had in total about 5 years caring for dogs. Feeding them, walking with them, spending time with them ect Pet care is an important part of my weekly life for personal reasons. It also fits well for business reasons I live at my work so I’m available often and will be able to look after your pet morning afternoon and night in between my day. With the utmost care, I want them to feel comfortable and safe while you are away so that will be my main focus is they’re comfortability
“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”
“I absolutely adore Christina. She took such great care of my 4 fur babies (3 dogs, 1 cat) while I was gone this month. They loved her too! Even the youngest dog, Simone, who barks at EVERYONE, warmed up to her quickly and let Christina place the collar and leash on so that she could go on a walk, which she had not done for any previous sitter! She gave amazing care to my senior dog, Sophie, who has a weak bladder now. Christina followed my instructions better than I follow them myself and thus Sophie not only had no accidents in the house, but also never soiled a diaper! I came home to a clean house and happy babies-I could not recommend Christina more strongly!”
“Mya took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures daily and it was very easy to communicate with her both before and during the stay. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, fish, reptiles, horses and cats. I get along with most of them I am not usually afraid of any animals. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays. I can adjust it any which way that best fits what the person and pet need from me. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs,and 3 horses. All my pets are friendly and are not aggressive. I care for people's pets as if they're my own.
“Misty was great, everything we could have hoped for. Jake, Shado, and the kitties couldn’t have been happier. Would definitely recommend Misty if you’re wanting a worry free vacation.”
“Great cat sitter from start to finish. Nayzeth followed all instructions perfectly, provided consistent updates, and clearly understands cat behavior as she does have 2 of her own. Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up quickly, which says a lot and everything was neat and tidy when I returned.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a passion for animals, and animal care. I genuinely love working with them, dogs are my strong point, and I have years of experience as well as have some training under my belt. I also am experienced in handling reptiles and large livestock! 🥰 I also wanna state that I can and am always willing to help out, however I do have a job I work Monday through Friday during the early afternoon to evening, so usually anything after 4 or 5pm works for me best! I work part time at a dealership in Santa Rosa, so I do have a lot of free time! I don’t mind over nights, and I don’t mind early mornings if need be! I’m very flexible with my schedule! Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to accommodate your requests! I am very trustworthy, and since I love all animals I will always go above and beyond to treat your fur-babies like royalty!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. I had my own dog, Boo, for 12 years and was responsible for her daily care, routines, and companionship throughout her life. Currently, I help with my roommate’s dog, Mavi, and have helped care for her for the past 3 years. I help make sure she is fed, walked, has fresh water, and of course gets plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I’ve also pet sat for friends several times and have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments. In high school, I regularly house sat and cared for animals for a family friend with a farm. Along with caring for their dogs and cats, I also helped look after their horses and goats. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always try to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 8am–5pm, but I’m available to care for pets before and after work, during my lunch break, and much more flexibly on weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routines and get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. At this time, I plan to provide care in the client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I currently rent, I’m limited on additional animals in my home, but I’m happy to provide reliable in-home visits, walks, drop-ins, and house sitting care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their owners are away, so I try to provide consistency, patience, and plenty of attention to help them feel secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special care needs. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, affection, and supervision appropriate for their needs and personality. I believe communication and trust are very important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel cared for, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures so you can see what your fur baby is up to! I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding in my apartment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m stopping by your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability! I share my home with my best friend, who also has experience boarding and caring for dogs, and our Great Dane. We’re both comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I personally have experience handling reactive and dog aggressive dogs and understand the importance of boundaries, supervision, and safe separation. Because other dogs may be in our care, I always want to know about reactivity or behavioral concerns beforehand so we can provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet.
About: I absolutely love animals. I'd be doing this for free if I didn't have rent to pay! I have been dog sitting for friends and family forever and used to work with tiny kids at a school so I have lots of experience and energy to keep up! I am self-employed so I make my own schedule! I will always put your pet first when it comes to scheduling. I am a morning person so I'm up as early as 6am and as late at 11pm. I used to work with tiny little babies at an elementary school and I'd take care of your pet with the same amount of love and precaution!

About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, so caring for furry family members has always come naturally to me. During the 7+ years I lived in Philadelphia, I taught at a large charter school and began house and pet sitting on the side for fellow teachers and staff. Over the years, I had the privilege of caring for so many sweet furry babies, including pets who needed extra attention, medication, and around-the-clock care. I truly grew attached to many of them and missed them dearly when my Philly chapter came to a close in 2024. Today, I proudly call Sacramento home and am excited to share that same love and care with a new community of pet friends! I’m a firm believer that animals can see and feel the energy of humans in ways we sometimes cannot. I lead with warmth, patience, attentiveness, and genuinely good energy…and animals tend to pick up on that pretty quickly. I’ve yet to meet a furry friend who didn’t eventually warm up to me. 😊 I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medications, following detailed routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day or night. I work best with thoughtful pet parents who deeply care for their animals, their homes, and the energy within both. When you book with me, you can expect plenty of LOVE, communication, respect for your space, and most importantly…ACCOUNTABILITY. 💛 I work remotely and have plenty of time to share with your furry family members. I love nature and take many walks/hikes as a form of self care. I’m sure we can work just about anything out—flexibility is our middle name😉.” Interactive pup toys to keep them engaged (i.e Kongs, Hide&Seek Treats) My energy can be extremely high most times so playtime is always a thing both indoors and out!! On a chill day/evening you’ll find my toddler (if approved) and I cuddled up or sprawled out on the floor with your fur babies vibing.🕯️

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Genevra walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Genevra maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Genevra choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
