About: I have had pets all my life, and I learned to take care of them from an early age. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I am familiar with puppy training. I also have experience with older cats and administering medicine to both dogs and cats. I’m also experienced with rodents, bearded dragons, and fish. *NO SNAKES* I am a college graduate who still lives at home, so as long as I have enough notice my schedule is pretty flexible. If I am unavailable I will make sure to tell you. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! Please schedule a meet and greet before the drop in visit so your pet is able to meet me and we can both be comfortable when I stay. I do well with written instructions. A walk through of what you would like me to do for your pet would be appreciated. I will also clean up after myself, water any plants, and take good care of your house, as well as your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years. For most of those I was working at a pet store where I cared for animals of all kinds, as well as having a lot of my own. I am available 24/7 currently. I can do over night as well as house sitting during the day. Soon I will be enrolling in school so that may change. Completely inclosed yard as well as a big house with lots of room to roam. I have 6 cats and 7 dogs as well as other pets that can provide your animals with company.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I love animals probably more then people at times and I will love your fur babies as if they were my own and take great care of them! I am wide open with availability during the day in case your pets need someone with them for most of the day or if they are fine being alone for certain amount of time. Currently not working full time . I live in an apartment so I won’t be offering to take in any pets as theirs a limit of how many can be staying here. At the moment.

Please Just give me a call or text or email and I will let you know right away if I am available to walk, pet sit, play with, or whatever else you need or want me to do with your little furry one. I love animals and take amazing care of them. I am pretty flexible at the moment except for driving the family around and some part time work.

I have a big fenced yard with lots of space and and nice big house too :) I am open for all kinds of pet sitting walks daycare drop ins etc.

Melina was fantastic! She was very communicative and helped us through some growing pains with our new pup. She made sure both dogs got a chance to potty and play and let us know when she thought an additional walk was needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting or dog drop ins.

Maddison was so friendly and took great care of my pups while I was away! She was attentive and made sure they always had food and water and played with them as well. She even brought in packages I had ordered out of the rain without me even asking! 110% would recommend booking with her and I will certainly book with her again in the future! Thank you Maddison!

Andrea took care of my three precious dogs for a couple days in an emergency. Thanks for being same-day flexible! And thanks for the cute pictures. And they appreciated the play time. I'll be hiring Andrea in the future.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Golden Hills

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.
