“We highly recommend Susan. She has a kind and comforting demeanor who reassured our highly social cat when we were away. She sent a picture of a contented boy after each drop-in. We will be using Susan again.”
“I had scheduled Tim for a 3 hour house sitting with my pup Frankie . Unfortunately, on the day of our dinner out, my husband took I'll and I had to cancel Tim's appointment. Although I never met him, Tim was prompt in responding to my texts”
About: I’ve always had pets and been around animals since I was young. Since moving to Tahoe I watch animals on a weekly basis, and enjoy every minute! I work remotely and I am able to watch dogs throughout the day. The remote job also allows be to travel and be more attentive to the pets. I am very big on attention and activity. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. Or if they prefer to rest and relax, making sure they are comfortable. Either way, understanding the needs of the dog and tailoring the care to them.
“Holly and Blue adore Rachel! She was kind enough to stop by on her lunch to let them outside while my my Mom was on vacation, and she sent me fun photos of each visit. Thank you!”
“Brenna was Great! Mr Meowgi warmed up to her very quickly. Brenna’s communication was also really good and prompt. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to our friends.”
About: Hello! I’m a local dental hygienist that will treat your pet as if it’s my own. I am a healthy balance of being active and outdoorsy as well as a homebody, so I am able to adjust my daily routine to meet your pet’s needs/wants! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work Monday and Tuesday from 7:30 to 5 and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 3. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, day care and overnight stays any times that do not fall within those timeframes. Message me!:) I grew up on 40 acres where we always had a lot of animals including dogs of many kinds and cats. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to pet care and safety. I will always care for any animal as if it is my own!
“Gabriel is spectacular - one of the best sitters we’ve had. Very communicative, and incredibly willing to help especially with our elderly dogs. Would recommend him to anyone else and hire him again in a heartbeat”
About: Ive had dogs all my life and I've cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and ages. My dog Jax is a testament to the quality of love and care I provide. I am currently unemployed so pet care and personal health are my top priorities. I try to do at least one dog related activity daily. I live in a very quiet and dog friendly neighborhood with a great yard for visitors. My dog Jax is an 8 year old Lab mix with the perfect temperament, he welcomes every guest into our home with warmth.
“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”
About: Dogs are family, and for me, they are treated as such. No matter physical conditions, trauma, or behavior needs, they deserve to be treated with care and respect. With dogs I've owned, I've worked with epilepsy, cancer, extreme fear and PTSD, bully breeds, various medication requirements, and more. I also teach Veterinary Science to high school students and have a plethora or knowledge on animals science and behavior. I'm happy to assist you and your fluffy family with your needs. Dogs only unfortunately! Severely allergic to cats. I'm currently working full time as a agrigulture science high school teacher, so my hours are cemented on weekdays. Nearly all weekends and school breaks I have free. I have lived with dogs my entire live. As an adult, I've had dogs with severe behavior needs and others with heavy medical needs. I am well versed in physical and mental needs of dogs.
“Sandra was an excellent dog sitter for our two big dogs. She was very flexible, responsible and sent lots of photos to make us feel secure about them (and our cats) in our absense. I highly recommend her and Luna and Frosty give her five high paws!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for over 17 years, caring not only for my own beloved dog—who lived a long, happy life to age 17—but also for the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Labradors, Retrievers, a Lab/Pug mix, Border Collies, Huskies, and Corgis. This has taught me how to tune into each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and temperament. What truly sets me apart is the way I care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means active play, a calm check-in, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person entering your home and caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog won’t just be “checked on”—they’ll be cared for with kindness, respect, and real affection. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I especially enjoy morning visits. I’m an early riser, so I’m reliable and available for those important first check-ins of the day—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a calm, positive start for your dog. I plan my schedule around my visits to make sure each pet gets my full attention without feeling rushed. Mornings are a priority for me, but I also have flexibility to accommodate other times when needed. I truly enjoy these visits—they’re something I look forward to. Your dog will be greeted with kindness, patience, and genuine care every time I arrive. How I Care for Pets in Your Home I stop by and check in on your dog while you’re away for the day or weekend, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed as you prefer, and get a potty break, attention, and some companionship. I like to take a little extra time with each dog—whether that’s a bit of play, a short walk, or just sitting with them so they feel relaxed and not alone. I keep my service area within about a 10-minute drive so I can be dependable and on time for every visit. As I get more established, I may also offer overnight stays for small dogs down the road. I treat every dog like they’re my own, because I know how much they mean to you.
About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!
About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors, doctors, hospital CEOs, friends and family ever since I was 10. All types of dogs and requests and breeds. I’m at home unless I’m running to the grocery store or doing an extracurricular activity. I can be here for your fur babies when you have to be away. 😻 I have a 6ft fenced yard. I have the ability to separate my yard into 6 different areas at nearly half an acre. I have multiple kennels and some with tops and grooming and bathing equipment. In home day care is heavily screened. Your dog will not have access to the inside of my home, kids, or my pets. Large outdoor area and garage kennels will be fully accessible. Kennels are cleaned with vet rescue which kills parvo. Fresh water in kennels and outside. All are properly sanitized. Health and safety is top priority for everyone. Puppies not fully vaccinated will be in a separate area. Walks, my children will be attending if dogs are child friendly.
About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.
“Mariam is so loving with my dog and he is so happy when she comes to visit. I can see him on the ring camera when they leave for a walk or while she’s patting him. I couldn’t be more pleased that my pup is loved while I can’t be with him due to work or travel. Highly recommended.”

About: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs.

She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life.

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 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.
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 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.
