About: I am in my 60’s and I love my dogs , Rocky 12, maltese/yorkie/ also have Charlie a sweet Shih Tzu. I love animals and seems like all animals like me. I have kept a lot of dogs and have never had any problems , they have all gotten along with our dogs .would love to keep your fur babies for you. I treat mine like I do my own kids very over protective. I am home most of the time. I now have a new dog room with crates and bedding, very large back yard with a divided fence for large and small dogs to be kept separate if need be, and have plenty of room to run and play. I have also kept children in my home for 20 years so that tells you a little about me if people loved me keeping their children, but no longer keep children at this time just grand babies. I am self employed and home 90% of the time. I feed around .6-6:30 am and again around 4pm , I take dogs out usually ever two hours when I’m home. They get lots of play time and attention.ladt outing is between 10-10:30. I have a large fenced yard with a split fence to separate big dogs from small if need be. Also have a new dog room with crates and bedding and spacious enough for playing for small to medium dogs. This room is just apart of house with a door just like a bedroom with windows where I can see them.
About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!
“Rachel was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond to take care of Baylie and Peanutt—keeping me updated with sweet messages and the cutest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pets and everything was perfect. I can’t recommend Rachel enough—she’s truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had!”
“Heather is so kind and also confident around our reactive dog. I am grateful she is taking time to get to know him so we can leave him with the assurance she would be able to take care of him!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs at a time growing up as well. I love animals and it would be a pleasure to keep your fur babies safe while you’re away! 🩷 I work mostly part time at a restaurant! My shifts are only 4-5 hour shifts! I work 4 days out of the work week and 1 day on the weekend! I care for the pets by making sure they are fed and taken care of! Potty breaks of course & if any of the pets need any medications.
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: I have about 6 year experience with dogs any where from puppies to seniors. I have trained dogs mine included. His name is bullet and he is 4. I work during the week so I’ll be available weekends and some evenings. Time will vary but I will accept as much as I can I’ve got a fenced in yard I live on a large property. I have two dogs very sweet and I don’t like next to a road.
“Charlene is terrific! So patient and kind with my two crazy dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better, more loving person to check in on them. She has been more than willing to spend time with my large dog who has terrible anxiety and isn’t great with strangers but he took to her immediately which is how I knew I made the right choice when choosing her as a sitter. So thankful we found her!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.

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.
