“Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.”
About: I am a dog owner for the last 7 years (female rescue, 50lbs, lab/retriever.) Before her, I had cats my whole life. My pup is a part of my family and I would treat yours with the same care and compassion. I work from home, live in a duplex and I have a backyard that is mostly fenced (your dog would stay on a leash back there), and I live right next to Dreher Park where we could go for walks 1-2 times/day. Let's do a meet and greet! I work full time from home, and have lots of flexibility for walks and pets. In the evening, we take walks in Dreher Park right next door. Life is quiet around here. No smoking. I'll be here with them all day and can take them to the backyard or for walks in the park. I have a 50lb rescue that has been described by boarders as an alpha female, so she may get barky at first but it ends there.
“She’s been amazing! Super attentive (even took notes at the meet and greet), great with last-minute walks, and always keeps me updated. I’m a pretty nervous dog mom and have met with other walkers before, but she’s the first one I’ve actually felt comfortable with. So grateful!”
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, as well as for family and friends. I’ve cared for all kinds of pups from playful, energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to keep them safe, comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’m happy to provide the love and care they deserve! 🐾🤍 Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“Marvin was very attentive in our preview visit to know exactly what to do to take care of Bubbys. During the visit, he kept me informed and it was comforting to know he was doing everything to make sure Bubbys would be taken care of while I was gone.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, including my own pets as well as dogs and cats for family, friends, and clients. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, refilling water, basic cleanup, giving pets attention, and following detailed instructions from owners. I try to keep pets active, calm, and cared for while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with different personalities, whether a pet is energetic, shy, stubborn, or just needs extra reassurance. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I’m active, flexible, and already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and care visits depending on the day and time. I do my best to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure each visit is handled with care from start to finish. I’m happy to follow the owner’s routine so their pet feels as comfortable as possible. I take safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions for each pet. During walks, I stay aware of the surroundings, keep pets secure on leash, and avoid unsafe situations with other animals, traffic, or distractions. In the home, I make sure food, water, doors, gates, and any special care instructions are handled properly. I also like to send clear updates so owners know their pet was cared for, safe, and happy.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. i have always had medium sized dogs. I currently have a black lab that I trained when he was a puppy and care for him everyday. I have experience with feeding, training, walking, playing, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable learning each dog’s personality and routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have also cared for my grandfathers german shepherd on multiple occasions when he has left town. I'm from Massachusetts so I go to Florida for college and I miss my dog and caring for other dogs will help fill that void. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I am currently a nursing student at Palm Beach Atlantic University and I have school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with Thursday, Friday and the weekend off. I could always be available after school around 4pm for dinner time feedings or nightly walks. Thursday, Friday and the weekend I am available for breakfast and dinner feedings, walks throughout the day, and house sitting. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make their safety and comfort my top priority. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and give them plenty of attention, affection, and space when needed. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.
About: i come from a background of volunteer work at no kill shelters like peggy adams. this taught me a lot of different things about furry friends, different behavior patterns, temperament and health needs. i have been professionally sitting for the past few years now with cats and dogs and with all of that experience, it makes me very fit to take care of pretty much any fur baby at this point. i love animals and i treat every pet as if it were my own. i work in the healthcare industry remotely, so I do have a flexible open schedule. any specific timing requirements needed can be discussed before the visit. i have a fenced in patio and backyard area where i let my animals room free whenever possible i take them on long walks around my neighborhood and just kind of do all i can to ensure that they’re active and safe and make sure that my gates are constantly locked. especially if i know i will be going for a long walk and i will ensure the same safety in your home as well.
“Julia took great care of our dog Vera. She was very conscientious and stopped by for a meet and greet. She was responsive to messages and very reliable. Thank you, Julia!”
“I would recommend Patrick to anyone. He was extremely professional and went above and beyond for my dog and cat. He was super responsive and made my extremely nervous pup feel comfortable. Thanks again!”

I book Lisa over and over again because she’s so reliable and great with my cat Sweet Pea. She’s very attentive. She plays for the full 30 minutes with her each visit, tidies up the litter box and feeds her twice a day. Sweet Pea loves her and I feel very confident traveling knowing that Lisa is taking care of her. I highly recommend Lisa - she’s wonderful.
Kirsty is truly an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, responsible and completely focused on her duties. She was on time everyday, kept me updated with texts and pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell that she cared about my pups and took her responsibilities seriously. She was also very friendly and seemed genuinely kind. I highly recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable and caring dog sitter.
Andrea did an amazing job taking care of Loki! He clearly loves her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, and responsive throughout the entire stay, and even went above and beyond helping me deal with a few packages that were accidentally dropped off incorrectly at my apartment. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Andrea again!
I’m so grateful my friend recommended Susana. I was very nervous to find a sitter I could trust so I can resume traveling. Susana was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I felt I could trust her right away! I now feel more comfortable leaving Baby Girl in good hands. I can’t wait to have them be good friends in future visits!! I recommend Susana to anyone who fears for the care of your pet. She is truth worthy and knowledgeable. BOOK HER!!!
Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.
Kailey was a great sitter for my two cats. Someone who’s was supposed to take care of my cats bailed out, so it was a last minute call to find a cat sitter. I remember contacting Kailey before but her schedule didn’t work for us. Thank God this time she was available and my instinct was not wrong. Kailey was sweet, responsible and kept the litter area clean. Kailey sent us the pictures daily and left daily notes. We are very happy with her and will definitely contact her in near future.
Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖
Caitlyn went above and beyond to ensure our cats were exceptionally well cared for while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and very professional. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.

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.
