“Cailin did a great job taking care of Oreo. She was prompt and professional. When there was a scheduling conflict, her communication was top notch. She was very good at giving us updates with pictures.”
“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.
About: I’m putting myself through college, so everything I make from Rover goes towards my tuition. I have had pets, especially dogs since I can remember as a kid. I’ve also worked for a pet sitting company for 2+ years. For a typical day, I’m highly adaptable to whatever schedule your pets are on. This tends to keep them more comfortable in their home and routine while you’re away! I typically leave in the morning time, then do a drop in visit in the afternoon for at least an hour. I come back at dinner time to spend the evening and night with your furbaby. However, that schedule can be changed to fit your pets specific needs. I’m well versed in many different animals, and am always willing to learn ones that I am not. I try to keep pets I sit as close to their typical routine as possible, and am constantly taking pictures to update their pawrents. Feel free to contact me and set up a meet & greet to see if I would be a good fit!
About: As a full time pet caregiver, I dedicate my entire day to making sure your furry family member gets the love, attention and structured routine they deserve. Full time care giver, I just need to know any special times for medicine or if the your furry family member needs any additional walks or potty breaks! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly lab to keep your furry baby company. Customized play time, cozy nap times and a beautiful area for their walks.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys giving pups the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. 🐾 Whether your dog loves long walks, backyard playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’m reliable, active, easy to communicate with, and happy to keep you updated with plenty of photos while your pup is in my care. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog, so I’ll always treat yours like they’re part of the family. ❤️ Lots of walks, lots of attention, and plenty of tail wags! 🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches during the day. I’m available for frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout their stay. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, no children, and one friendly dog of my own. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re staying at a second home—not a kennel. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine so their stay is as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I always follow any special instructions you provide, keep their environment clean and secure, and give them lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy.
“Hey everyone, I just have to share. Ryan was amazing. Really attentive, great at communicating, and super gentle with my son Harry, which meant a lot. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and I highly recommend him to any of you. Ryan again thank you! 😊”
About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉
About: I have volunteer experience working at a rescued animal shelter, where I helped care for rescued animals by feeding, cleaning, exercising, and providing daily attention. This experience has given me confidence in handling animals and reinforced my passion for their well-being. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need I spend most of my time at home and make sure pets get regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention. Whenever we go outside, dogs are always on a secure leash. My community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can safely play and exercise with the owner's permission.
“Tammy was amazing, since the beginning at our greet and meet, until the last day she took care of my babies. Communication was excellent, she always replied to my messages and kept me informed at all times regarding the dogs. She was also very accommodating and did her best when tending to my dogs. She cared for them dieing the holidays and she made sure my babies were safe and comfortable during the festivities. One of my dogs still in the puppy phase and she dealt with his shenanigans really well. I really have no complaints, I definitely recommend her and will be using her services in the future. She is one of the best!”
About: I have had 2 dogs and a cat for the past 13 years and they are an extension of my family. Since college I’ve cared for my friend’s animals while they’ve gone on vacation or out of town. I’ve dropped into their home every few hours and have hosted them at my place. While caring for your animals, their physical safety is a top priority. Whether it be while they’re interacting with other animals at the dog park, or we bump into another pup while on a walk, I will always make sure they are well and no harm comes their way. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry babies. Taking a long walk outdoors is a part of my daily routine. I love to care for animal’s needs from walking them, feeding them, petting them, or giving animals time to interact with other animals at a local park.

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.
