“Julianna took good care of our kitty and helped in other ways while we were away, bringing up garbage bin and bringing mail inside. She was friendly and flexible. Will definitely ask her back!”
About: I have had big dogs my whole life....taking care of them, walking them etc. Because I lost my big girl a year ago, and because of circumstances, I am not able to adopt yet, but would love to walk/take care of yours! I am dedicated to supporting dogs and their pet care needs. I am currently available 24/7 and am looking forward to helping all the owners and dogs! I currently have one rat terrier named Jake who is like 14-15 years old (?) but he gets along with everyone and is non-confrontational ;-)
“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and pets and have grown to understand and love them fully and I hope to spread that love towards other animals! I can come take care of pets almost every day! I am a working Christian girl so Sundays I have church for an hour, and I just recently started a new job so far my hours are 10am-7pm Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays! I’m available afternoons on Thursdays and I’m available weekends! I believe that pets require an immense amount of attention and affection and I will always create a trusting bond with the pet owners and answer any questions the owners may have!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I really enjoy being around and caring for dogs. Most of my experience has been caring for small dogs and those in the later years of their life. My calm demeanor works well with dogs who may be nervous around new people. Until recently, I also volunteered at an adoption center where I helped to care for dogs looking for a new home. I currently don’t work a conventional job due to personal limitations so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. Taking care of your pet would bring lots of joy to my day. I am an attentive and affectionate pet care taker. I will respect your space and any parameters set around taking care of your furry family.
About: I have a long history caring for various animals, from farm to domestic. I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience. If your dog needs medicine, is reactive, or has certain triggers, please be up front with this information so I can provide the best service! In my house, my pets have a schedule for food and activity so they have a basic structure. Feel free to share about their personality, quirks, or any sensitivities. Communication is key!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience. I have four dogs of my own, and have experience training numerous dogs with different personalities and needs. I'm comfortable working with young pets who need patience, consistency, and basic training, as well as older pets who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I treat every animal with the same patience, care, and respect that I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so adding another pet to my routine comes naturally. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure each pet gets the individual care and companionship they need. I care for every pet based on their normal routine, personality, and their owner's instructions. In a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet's boundaries and their home while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's a high-energy dog, a playful kitten, or a pet that needs extra patience, I treat them like they're one of my own.
About: I have about 2 years of pet care experience, mostly with dog sitting and walking. I have worked mostly with larger dog breeds, but I have experience with a variety of dog sizes. I also have experience in small mammal pet sitting, such as guinea pigs and chinchillas. I am available to work around most people's schedules, if you are concerned please reach out and we can discuss what would work best for you and your pets. I am very detail oriented and good with instructions. I make sure that all instructions and care are followed as well as staying in touch to update you on your dog's fun times!
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Victoria was super attentive and a great communicator. We just needed a quick drop in for our cat this time, but we would definitely love to have Victoria take care of Johnny again!”
About: I have two cats who I live hanging out with. I have had a dog in the past and have taken care of reptiles before. I work a full time but always do the best i can to provide care for furry pals. Dog parks and long walks are the best!! I allow any pet to get comfortable with me first, I wont force myself onto them so they feel safe and confortable around me when they are ready.
“Robin is so great with my crew of kitties, tending to their needs and keeping an eye on the house. She even seems to understand their personalities and what each of them needs. I felt so reassured having Robin there to care for them.”
About: My first fur baby was Minnie (chi-weenie) gifted to me when I was 7 years old! Since then I grew up with her, my other fur baby Kobe who is a chihuahua mix, Lilly (Pitbull mix, and Chico (Pitbull mix.) My home was full of their love. I get to continue to share the love with all the doggy’s I have met so far. I am that friend everyone would come to for advice for their fur babies and to take care of. The last couple pictures are my precious babies that I would frequently care for in LA. I hope I am able to share these fun days with your fur baby! Whenever I get the chance to take a long walk I love including any doggy with me or just relaxing and watch bluey with my new fur pals. I’m very respectful of my surroundings and will always ask questions to know exactly of what you expect of me. Can’t wait to spend time with your pup!
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I am a responsible and reliable person. I am very gentle, and caring with animals. My whole life I’ve always wanted to be a vet. I want to help & take care for animals in any way I can. My family has always owned animals. We owned cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, frogs, fish, turtles, a tortoise, an african grey parrot, parakeets and a bearded dragon. For some time I have been walking dogs, pet sitting and dog bathing for family and friends. I became a vet assistant for a few years and wanted to try a new trade so now i am currently working as a dog groomer ! I am currently taking a break from dog grooming so I’m available anytime of the day! Very flexible with anyone's schedule! Would love to keep working with animals :) I always take care of any pets that are in my care! If I’m walking them , I will take them on adventures . Or just drop in visits, will give all my attention to them and make sure they are good before I leave!
About: I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs for years now. I’ve never had the opportunity to have a dog myself so I live vicariously through taking care of others dogs! I’m currently a college student and I’m available to work weekends and even nights. Right now I’m on summer break so my availability is pretty open! I’m very flexible with what is best for the dog/for the client in their home. I’ll make sure the dog won’t be able to get out and will keep a watchful eye.
About: I love animals more than people! Been petsitting all my life. First to offer my friends and neighbors to be Auntie to their little muffins. I owned a petsitting and dog training business in Portland for many years... had to move and change jobs but I still love having as many furfriends as possible! I consider myself very intuitive and always respect a pets boundaries. Listening is key and watching for body language. I will take the very best care of your home and pet!! Just like they were my own. I work for myself and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around what works best for you. Great at time management and super reliable. I prefer sitting at my clients homes and have extensive experience with housesitting alone. I have managed luxury homes and can offer extra things like plant watering, mail pickup, coordinating with staff, etc.

Victoria was truly wonderful to engage and work with. She made it super easy to make the reservation, sort out the details on the Rover app and truly was warm and engaging with our pup, and us! She also made the transition as we left our pet easy and seamless. She gave us regular updates and kept us posted on all details for her departure. Wonderful! Highly recommend!

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.

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 use the 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.
