“Amber is super accommodating and flexible with all the odd requests that I have used her services for! She’s exceptional at listening to direction and helping with training!”
“Alyssa was a pleasure to work with! Our two cats warmed up to her immediately. She was supper communicative in her notes to us while we were away, and we appreciated all the pictures she sent to show us how much fun the cats were having with her. We would be happy to book with Alyssa again in the future!”
About: I am an Animal Science Major at ISU and worked at a vet clinic recently! I am looking forward to having process in my career and loving what I do best! I am full time in school and the rest of the day throughout homework and studying I’m up and about with my animals fitting in their needs and care. I value their space when giving me signals of stress and being overwhelmed as very excited with them when that is what they need. Full energy dogs are so loving and we have the best time as well as calm and old souls who needs more naps.
“Giselle is are now go to sitter! She is extremely good at following my crazy helicopter dog mom instructions😂 she is very professional and did everything we needed of her perfect and went above our expectations!! Our German shepherd is a little shy and also a ball of energy once warmed up and he loves her and we are so thankful for that because he can have a hard to warming up to people. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner for both dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a full-time college student who also works part-time on campus, so I’m primarily available during evenings and weekends. On weekdays I'm available after 2:00PM Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and after 5:00PM Thurday. On weekends I am free all day. I’m happy to coordinate specific times that work best for you and your pet‘s routine. I take time to understand every pet’s personality, follow their routine closely, and make sure they feel safe while in my care. I also treat every client’s home with respect and diligently follow any instructions provided by the owner.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, where I helped care for dogs by providing exercise, socialization, and daily attention. This experience taught me how to work with a variety of temperaments and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. I am also a dog owner myself and currently care for two Doberman Pinschers, which has given me extensive experience handling large, energetic breeds and understanding their physical and emotional needs. In addition, I have provided pet sitting services for many neighbors and family friends, earning their trust through my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I am committed to providing personalized care, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they receive the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and personalized care. In my home and in clients' homes, I ensure pets have a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from owners. Having cared for my own two Doberman Pinschers and many pets for neighbors and friends, I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring nature and experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve dog and house sat for my mom’s friend and other families multiple times, giving them peace of mind while they are away. I treat every furry loved one like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible since I currently only am in two classes and work 2-5pm everyday. This gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I also have plenty of breaks throughout my daily schedule, or walk-ins or daily walks. I always make sure each dog feels secure and comfortable, whether they’re used to crates or prefer open space. Your furry loved one’s routine and comfort will always come first.
About: I’ve been around animals since a very younger age because of having my dad as a veterinary my whole life. I have also worked as a veterinary assistant for about 2 years before I decided to go towards human medicine and got my nursing license in 2024. I am great with animals and know a lot about handling and care because of my training as a VA! Would love to meet your pets. :) I work as a nurse in long care with a very flexible schedule to be available to care for pets. Love to take them out for walks and such, I will be with them 24/7! I live alone in an apartment with three of my own kitties. They have a strict three time a day eating schedule due to my torbie being a little fat from her being too cute and getting too many treats 😂
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, I have 5 pets of my own 2 dogs & 3cats!! My dogs are both big babies lol! I’m great with dogs of all ages, I have experience with basic puppy training, ( sit, stay, potty training, lay down) Also great with senior dogs on medication or dogs with restrictions. I was at a doggie daycare center for a year working with all kinds of breeds, ages, sizes. I work from home so have ALL of the time to cuddle or throw the ball for your babies while you’re away, they’ll get all of the exercise they need on our walks throughout the day. Here for all of your pets emotional needs! I totally understand how scary the storms can be or the fireworks depending on the time of year and am full prepared to comfort your pet in any way he/ she may need.

About: I had a dog for ten years and pet sit for many of my family members for days at a time. I have pet sit dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I am not available until after 5pm. On weekends I am mostly free at any time. I don’t have any other pets at home as of recently but I did have a dog for ten years so I am very familiar with how to take care of pets! I have a small yard where I can put a fence up easily. I also am able to take your dogs on walks frequently.
About: I recently lost my own dog and would love some time with your pet to fulfill the need for pet companionship. I love how excited animals get when you arrive. They are truly dependent upon us as their caretaker and I would love to take care of your pet. I work full time and my children keep me very busy. But I am looking to be a little more independent when I don't have my children with me. I am happy to customize your pet's routine to what they are used to doing. My dog of 16 years was very spoiled and well taken care of. I also love playing ball with pets. I would treat your pet the same way that I treat my own.
“We did a "meet-and greet" a few days before Misty had her first "drop-ins" with our pups. Misty was very attentive while we showed her around the house, explained our routines, and chatted about our furry ladies. We worked together to adjust the "drop in" schedule a bit to work within the needs of our pups and her work schedule. She was very flexible and easy to work with. Throughout our all, it was apparent that she wanted to give our pups the best care possible. We returned to two happy and healthy puppies. Misty did a fabulous job and we are already working to book her for the next time that we are out of town!”

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.
