“Sara was very communicative and I felt my dog was safe in her hands! Every photo/video sent calmed my nerves in being away from my dog for more than a few days. After asking permission, Sara even brought her dog over to keep mine company during some visits! Highly recommend her for drop in visits and other services!”
About: I was raised with four legged friends and currently have one at home. I love spending time playing with and going on long walks to get fresh air. During the school year, I’m home a lot outside of work and have a steady routine that makes it easy to fit in walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and all the important pet stuff. Summers are wide open, which means I have tons of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, boarding, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day. I know pets are family, so I treat them that way. I try to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved-whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I pay attention to their routines, energy levels, quirks, and any special instructions so they can relax and feel at home. I’m big on communication, clean spaces, secure leashes/doors, fresh water, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog wants nonstop playtime or your cat just wants a quiet buddy nearby, I’m happy to match their vibe.
About: Pet Care You Can Trust! I’ve been around animals for 23 years and have been a hands-on pet parent since age 10. I’m a proud fur mama to two kitties and one dog, so I truly understand the love, care, and attention every pet needs. From walks and drop-ins to meals, meds, and extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family. 🐶🐱✨ Happy paws guaranteed! I’m easily flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate most needs. As a stay-at-home mom to a one year old, I’m able to prioritize providing consistent, loving care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. You can trust me to treat your furry family members with respect, love, and consistent attention—whether it’s during walks, drop-ins, or playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little girl! I’m the type of person to help a lost pet on the side of the road. I’m very passionate about animals because of my unconditional love I have for them that they return. No pet is a bad pet. I have two dogs and one cat I have had for years and they’re my children. I want to be someone you can trust with yours! I’m currently in a situation where I have full availability at the moment! Which means more time I get doing things like this that I love. I would listen to the owner’s instructions (they know best) and proceed to to try to build trust and confidence between me and your fur baby!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I currently go to college 7 hours away from my home, which means I take any chance I get to be around animals! I don’t just want to be a sitter, I want to connect with your fur babies! I currently work Part time so I have lots of availability to spend time with your animals. I only have class Monday and Wednesday mornings, and I am done at 9:45am. I love to cuddle and play with animals. I also love to go on walks and car rides (with your approval) just to get out of the house!

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.
