“I love that Jennifer loves my dog as much as I do. It’s very clear that she is not only experienced in caring for animals, but that she really likes it! I now have someone in the neighborhood who I trust to drop in and care for my dig on a regular basis and when the ferry is late/there’s an accident in Gorst/other calamities happen and I have to stay Late at work or whatever. Knowing that Jen is around, and if she’s available, that she can run over and know exactly what to do gives me peace of mind now that I’m back to a hybrid work situation. She is definitely my number one choice for drop in/walks.”
“Bailey was excellent! I tend to leave very specific instructions, and Bailey followed them to a tee! My feeders have a light that indicates that they’re working properly and I said “bonus points if the rover pic has the lights on” and every single rover card had a picture with the lights on!! Really allows me to feel like my cats are in good hands when I leave. Also this was a very last-minute trip and Bailey was fast to respond, and available for key pick up before I left. 5/5 for sure!”
“I know my kitties are always in good hands with Kimberly! She is punctual, consistent, and gives great updates with each visit, and has won over my shy boys. I will always recommend her, and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Our pups took to Olivia during the meet and greet, before we even finalized her services. She’s extremely kind and very thoughtful about learning how to care for your pups individual needs. We felt extremely comfortable with Olivia and could tell our pups were too. We absolutely loved the photos that were shared with us during her drop-in visit and could see how happy they were to have her give them some midday attention. Highly recommend Olivia and plan on requesting her services again in the near future. Thanks, Olivia!”
About: Note: I now have a toddler and an infant so please be aware I will be bringing them with me to jobs. My toddler is extremely loving and gentle with animals and responds immediately when told to leave an animal alone. Additionally, please be aware that I am recovering from several years of physical disability. I'm doing MUCH better but still get winded easily, so I can play fetch or take your dog on a gentle walk but not a run. -------- I come from a family of pet lovers: my mom raised guide dogs for the blind before she had a family, and ever since I was a baby I've been around animals of all kinds. My first pet care job was caring for a friend's cats when I was a tender 6-years-old! Since then, I have cared for numerous horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish, poultry, reptiles (including snakes!), emu, donkey, goats, rabbits.... You name it! My strongest experience lies with domestic dogs and cats. Starting at age 17 I helped a neighbor raise two rescue pups whose mama was a feral dog from the middle east, which presented a very unique set of challenges: and, more recently, two other sweet doggos who needed regular medication. I've also had experience with giving cats medicine from caring for my own cats. I am very involved with each pet, taking time to learn their unique personality. I make a point of focusing on the loved pet I am with at the time, with physical play and mental stimulation a huge part of my time — even older pups just need patience, encouragement, and a gentler style of play! As of Summer 2026 I am currently available pretty much any time! My only limitation is not having a car while my husband is at work during the day but I'm also able to use the bus when needed. I have 10 total years of experience sitting both indoor and outdoor pets, helping continue and enforce training, administering medication in a variety of ways, and encouraging the unenthused to move and exercise. When you book me I will ask a series of questions to help best understand how I can help you and your pet in the specific situation YOU are in! Pets aren't one size fits all and neither are my services. :)
“Gisselle was wonderful! My little guy was nervous at first and has separation anxiety. Within twenty minutes she sent a pic, of him relaxed and having a good time! Thank you! Definitely recommend!”
About: I will start off with saying, I am insured with PCI! I’ve had dogs my whole life, I have 5 at the moment. 2 cats, a (Yearling), tortoise, frog many animals. I have experience with plenty of animals. I have animal sat for multiple families and friends and they have loved me! I work fulltime but can make time for your babies. I treat your babies like mine. I make sure they get the love and care they need. I slowly introduce myself, if you need your dog crated I can do that. If all we need to do for your pet is we meet a few times before petsitting that is okay, or if you need me to bring my dog so your dog can meet mine. Whatever helps with your animal to feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.
“Brenda is an amazing rover. She exceeded all of my expectations and took great care of my cat while I was gone. I am looking forward to booking with her again! *Highly recommend*”
“As a first time rover user I definitely couldn’t have chosen a better person to watch my dog. I can’t say I wasn’t overthinking and worried about harper, but she was very communicative on updates, and I can tell my dog was very happy to see her every time she came for a check in. 100% going to become a reoccurring customer. Thank you!”
“Solace really came through for me as usual with her excellent availability, flexibility, and braving the cold to take my precious fur baby on a few much needed walks. It’s priceless to have a petsitter that can be relied upon to execute quality care and treat my pets with respect and kindness. I highly recommend Solace to others looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
About: I grew up around various different dogs and have experience ranging from dog sitting, working at boarding facilities, fostering, and basic training. I’ve worked with many different breeds and work on positive reinforcement based training on my walks to improve leash manners and confidence. Dogs in my care receive both physical and mental exercise through walks, play, scent games, and training. I am open to working with reactive dogs or fearful dogs. If you have an intact male, please message me prior to booking. I look forward to loving your pup! I’m a teacher which means I’m home for the summer! I’m available all day, everyday to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I always like to do a meet and greet with dogs prior to boarding so I can better understand their needs and so they can get to know me. I take various safety measures based on each dogs needs. This may include double leashing, using a slip or martingale collar, or walking in quiet locations.
“Dennis did ann excellent service with my companions, Tigger and Skye – he took perfect care of them! Tigger and Skye were clearly happier and more at ease after Dennis’s visits. His attentive care and general interactions with my furry family made a real difference in their daily routines and well-being. We give 5 stars and a wagging tails – a trusted, reliable caregiver, and I happily recommend Dennis to fellow pet parents seeking top-notch, trustworthy care for their beloved pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a little company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently a student, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to work around each pet owner’s schedule and follow their pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ll carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences, while making sure their pet is comfortable and supervised throughout every visit or walk. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, and communicate any concerns or updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I grew up with dogs in the house, and now have 1 dog and a cat that cuddle and are perfect. I have 6 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, a Bachelor's degree in Organismal Biology, and a masters in biology through which I studied animal behavior. My availability is quite open for walks, play time, enrichment, training, and love. I would love to get outside with your pet as I know that life here is very busy. I take my dogs (and sometimes cat) on bike rides, hikes, or dog park adventures daily. So, your dog/cat can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation in the same fashion. Also, I can teach your dog or cat basic skills through positive reinforcement and patience.
“Wonderful sitter. She is always on time, very responsive to communication and is great at last minute changes, including adding drop in visits and changes to pet needs. It can be very difficult to find reliable sitters for your pets. And I feel I have finally found one!”
About: I've taken care of animals all throughout my life and have worked with and in shelters for the past 4 years. I have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, from Chihuahua to Mastiff. With a variety of experience in average, senior, and medicinal care, I'm happy to accommodate for you and your pet's needs, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I can walk and board all week days and weekend days. I am available for in-home/housesitting care from Thursdays-Mondays. I work full-time but am afforded a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out about your specific needs! I have 2 of my own cats that are as sweet as can be and would love the chance to meet new friends, if you and your pet are up for it. Otherwise, I have a custom "cat city" room and an outdoor patio and backyard for fur friends to get plenty of privacy (with supervision of course!) if they need it.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and other animals for the better part of my life, I am very attentive when it comes to my animals as well as others while in my care. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs to get out that energy out of them, giving pets and cuddles to cats that may feel lonely, and generally taking care of their well-being! I’m currently a part time manager and do this because I love animals and extra income is a plus! I can do house sitting so I’m there as soon as I’m off work or I can do drop ins and we can make a schedule work I can crate within your home as necessary and monitor their outside time if fenced-in, and on a leash if not! Will also supervise indoor activities to make sure nobody gets where they shouldn’t be
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilberton
We had a wonderful experience with Cara and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided during her drop-in visit with our dogs! She was available on such short notice, which we truly appreciated. Cara made us feel comfortable and secure by sending photos of our dogs throughout the visit, giving us peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well cared for. It was clear that she took her responsibility seriously and genuinely cared about their well-being. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Julie was great! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She was consistent with communication (pictures/videos) and care for him. She followed instructions and schedules to the T! As well very polite interactions from the very beginning c:. If you’re looking for someone that will make your baby feel the upmost comfortable and loved when you’re gone, Julie is the way to go! Thank you again, I appreciate you so much! c:
Christy was great! She sent pictures daily and checked in for permission to give my Tofu a little Christmas Day treat while I was away. She was very professional when meeting as well and getting all the details. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my kitty was taken care of. Would definitely recommend!
Emma was awesome, we had her do multiple day time drop ins for about a week. We had a couple of last min modifications and as Rover was able to, she was able to accommodate. We have dogs (great dane and an American Staffordshire terrier), cat, chickens and bunnies and she was able to check on them as well. Very helpful, communication was great and we got pictures for every visit she made.

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.
