About: I have cared for all kinds of animals from small dogs to large horses and everything in between. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for, feed, bathe, and walk their furry friends. I am a part time college student who will be available most days to care for all of your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! In my home my dogs are free range inside the house and outside unless a leash is needed outside. They have a room designated to them that they can't get into anything that might harm them. They have access to water 24/7. In side homes that I have dog sat I follow directions at all times.
“Tracey is the best! She is great with communicating, on time and of course wonderful with my 4 dogs. I feel much at peace having her do drop ins while I'm away at work! A+++”
About: I have always taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I have currently two dogs of my own and in the past have had cats guinea pigs, and other animals that have lived long happy healthy lives. I’m very reliable and dependable, and I would love to care for your pets! I’m currently only working part time which gives me lots of time with your pets I can do Monday's through Fridays from 8:30 to 4:30 but that is flexible if needed! I currently have two female dogs, both spayed, very energetic and love to play and would love to give your pup company unfortunately I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am very good at keeping my attention on the dogs at all times your pets would be very safe and looked after
About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!
About: I have had my own share of dogs. I have taken care of many of other people’s animals and even help them with training like tricks I currently am doing college full time online and looking for fun side hustles to make the day more interesting and filled with laughter and fun. I have two lovely fur babies at home who love dogs and will keep your fur baby company, I love getting out and going on adventures with my dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I am currently a student but have a decently flexible schedule, and I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
“We can’t recommend Leigh enough! Our dogs and cats absolutely loved her. She has a natural talent for connecting to animals and make them feel safe and loved. Extremely kind and reliable. It’s such a relief to know our pets are in such caring hands. Wholeheartedly recommend her and already have her booked for the future!”
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).
About: What sets me apart is my experience with both ends of the dog spectrum: puppies and seniors. I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.
“Diane is wonderful! We booked her for multiple drop-ins for our two pups and she was extremely communicative and professional. She sent great pictures from her visits and it was reassuring to see our pups getting so much love and attention! Absolutely would rebook with her again in future. Thank you, Diane!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gerald stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
