About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I've always had a family dog since I was born. I'm responsible and have house-sat many times over the years for friends and friends of friends. I'm currently in college, so I have evenings and early mornings available. As well as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can stay overnight or just come by a few times a day. I focus heavily on the health and happiness of my own pets, this includes regular vet visits, choosing healthy food options, and providing enrichment (either by providing things for them to do without me, or playing with them throughout the day).

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.
“Ana was Amazing! I was worried about leaving my cats for a week, especially because one of them is shy around new people, but my cats really seemed to like Ana. I felt very comfortable with the whole process. She even offered to water my plants! I will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter.”
About: I've grown up with dogs, raised my 3 adult children around dogs. Just welcomed a dachshund into our home. He's sleep / crate trained and fully potty trained. His current schedule is sleeping through the night 7pm to 6am and is in his crate for 3 90min to 2 hour naps a day. When he's awake he's home with us. I'm available for drop in care and walks for 1-2 small to medium size dogs. I will not have my own dog with me. I will cater to unique walking, sleeping, feeding and care schedules. I'm very active and enjoy exercising with dogs, playing chase and always aware of my surroundings.
About: With pet care experience, I stand out by offering training for puppies and providing PTSD Therapy for both pets and owners. My dedication and unique skills ensure a secure, nurturing, and healing environment for your beloved complains. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule. I’m available from 7 m. to 7 p.m. every day except every other Sunday. During dog walks, I prioritize your pet’s well-being, carrying a water bottle with an attached bowl, eco-friendly poops, end of walk treat, safe and dog-friendly trails, and parks.

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.
