“she has gone above and beyond for both of my kitties while i’ve been away. i can’t thank Constance enough for the security and well being in our absence. She is always willing to do a task for me, whether i ask for it or not. Book Constance if you’ve been searching for a great Rover!!!!”
About: I have raised a puppy, and also dog-sat and cat-sat many times. I do have one cat living with me now and love all animals. I work from home M-F 7-3 but my schedule is flexible, I can take long lunches or leave early if needed. I can also take my laptop on the go if necessary to provide company for your pet. Regular feeding and walks for dogs or interaction for cats. Positive reinforcement. Regularly cleaning litter box. Keeping their water refilled and fresh. Also lots of play/cuddles.
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
“Katherine and her son were wonderful to work with! They took wonderful care of my two dogs and provided regular updates and photos while I was away traveling. I know my dogs appreciated the cuddles and attention they received since they both struggle when their routine is adjusted. Boscoe found a new best friend with Katherine’s son 😊 Katherine also went above and beyond caring for our chickens too! She made sure they were well fed, watered, and that the brooding box was safe as I was concerned with the safety of a heat lamp. Katherine is my first choice in dog sitter for all future travel/dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs for over 24 years and truly enjoy caring for them. Every pet is different. Some are playful and full of energy, others are quiet and gentle, and I’m happy to adjust to what they need. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I offer overnight house sitting so your pet can stay relaxed at home while you’re away. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and do my best to give your pet plenty of attention and calm, loving care I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability for pet care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 pm. When I’m house sitting, I plan my schedule around your pet’s routine so they get the attention, walks, and care they need. When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal and calm as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions. I treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Valerie was amazing, we are very grateful for her care of Bisou. We felt incredibly comfortable knowing Bisou was taken care of and Valerie was to attentive to her special ways 👑🐈”
“As a first time rover user I definitely couldn’t have chosen a better person to watch my dog. I can’t say I wasn’t overthinking and worried about harper, but she was very communicative on updates, and I can tell my dog was very happy to see her every time she came for a check in. 100% going to become a reoccurring customer. Thank you!”
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
“We had Cherokee come by twice when we took a day trip to the beach. Once I initially contacted her, she was eager to respond and offered to come by and meet us prior to booking. She was prompt on both her visits and communicated extremely well throughout the entire process. She provided feedback on what they did during the visits and took a few photos. We came home to no accidents with our dogs which is amazing considering they are both older dogs. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Not only is she flexible, she also goes above and beyond! Our trip got pushed and couldn't make it back to get out animals. We reached out and Abby said she'd make an extra trip out to feed and let our animals out. I cannot tell you the relief and love we have for her 💜💜 the best sitter!!!”
“Gisselle was wonderful! My little guy was nervous at first and has separation anxiety. Within twenty minutes she sent a pic, of him relaxed and having a good time! Thank you! Definitely recommend!”

We are a couple that both can share the tasks to help take care of your furry loved ones. We personally have 2 large breed dogs. We prefer to watch pets inside your home and will not be bringing mine along. In the past we have also had a 2 cats, chickens, cows, many dogs and guinea pigs. I can check in on cages small animals. We have our own transportation to your home. As a friendly reminder to not leave your cute puppers in the car. They are wonderful parts of your life and we wouldn’t want anything sad to happen. Alice currently work most hours M-F 9-5 but sometimes can be a little later. I can do check ins and walks before and after work, or stay in your home and include them in my routine. They would need to be okay staying at home for 8-9 hours of the day. Amanda is available during the day while I am at work. I can sit in your home, drop in visits or dog walk. I do not currently offer in home pet stays at my house. Thank you!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve worked with dogs my entire life and have spent the past 3 years working in an animal shelter, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, needs, and behaviors. I have extensive experience with reactive and challenging dogs, and I’m comfortable working patiently and calmly with animals who may need extra space, structure, or understanding. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. My experience also extends far beyond dogs! I’ve cared for a wide variety of exotic and small animals, including snakes, tarantulas, centipedes, rabbits, and horses. Whether your pet has fur, scales, eight legs, or hooves, I’m always excited to meet them! When your pet is in my care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to provide plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱🐍🐰🐴 I currently work part time at an animal shelter so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend taking care of even more animals. I’m a dedicated pet parent who cares for my own animals with patience, compassion, and consistency. I use positive reinforcement training to build trust and encourage good behavior, and I am Fear Free Certified, so I focus on helping my pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to learn each animal’s individual personality, needs, and routines, creating a calm and loving home where they can thrive.
“Deanna was incredible. Our cats are socially opposite in that one loves everyone, and one hides from anyone new. Since they both take pills my wife and know how challenging it can be to get the cat that hides to get his pills. Deanna though was up to the challenge and in a short period of time had the shy cat cozying up to her and taking his pills. We will definitely request Deanna in the future!”
“Amanda is always amazing! She has checked on my cats and chickens for me two or three times now, and she never disappoints! Her updates are thorough, she shares adorable pictures of my babies, and even feeds snacks to the chickens sometimes. They are used to our kitchen scraps on a daily basis, so I'm sure they really apperciate the snacks she gives while we are gone. 😊 The cats love her and love her attention. She hangs out the full half hour to give them the love they crave while we are gone. I couldn't apperciate her more!”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for caring for pets of all kinds. With 13 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring not just expertise, but genuine passion to every pet I care for. As a proud pet parent of two dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family members with the same love and attention as you do. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to walk or care for your pets. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll be happy to assist! I currently live in townhouse community, with a large dog-walking area right in front. I also have two friendly small dogs who will keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and the spare room offers a spacious area for them to relax and feel comfortable.

Highly recommend Gina as your pet sitter! We have 3 guinea pigs with a lot of needs and are very particular, even with a house that is particular as well and she did nothing short but amazing! Very attentive, communicative, and all around great with animals, no matter what kind of animal they are!
Sabrina is AMAZING — She is dependable, trustworthy, attentive, and goes the extra mile! This was our 1st experience hiring a dog carer— and we are so lucky to have found Sabrina! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will DEFINITELY be hiring her again!

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.
