“Jyoti was fantastic! She did two drop-in visits for our dogs, Dolly and Rivers, while we were away for the day. She was professional, punctual, and wonderful with both of them. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for and could enjoy our day without worrying. We highly recommend Jyoti and will definitely be requesting her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups! 🐾💕”
“Holly took care of our kitty Ela twice a day for 4 days, she treated her well and went above and beyond with caring for her and our bonus out kitty. Definitely would recommend her and would book again. Ty Holly”
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
“Carlie was great with my 2 dogs! She showed up timely, sent detailed notes for each drop-in and loved on my girls when I couldn’t be home to do it myself. She came in to let them out to potty, feed them and provide medication to one. Even my little skittish baby liked Carlie soon meeting her!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Courtney provided for our Frenchie puppy and English Bulldog! She is incredibly caring, always punctual, and truly treats our pets like her own. It’s clear how much she loves animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Our pups were happy, well-cared for, and loved every moment with her. Courtney is the best!”
“Claudia is the best! Felix loved her almost from the first time she met him. She spent quality time with him, and for once he was not "mad" at me for leaving him when I returned home! That speaks volumes. I highly recommend Claudia!”
“Becky was fantastic w our difficult pitbull mix that has separation anxiety. She went above & beyond what our expectations were. I'd gladly recommend anyone to hire her for their pets. She even was gracious enough to extend our one job for an extra half hour when my appointment went over the time I had hired her for.”
About: I have been taking care of pets most of my life. Between having many pets in our home such as cats dogs and birds I also have helped those in my neighborhood and other family members care for their pets since I was in high school. I love having animals around! I’m a stay at home mom with two young children. My oldest loves pets and is always wanting more. We love to walk our two dogs around the neighborhood and play in the backyard while the dogs roam around., I have a fenced in yard and a designated space inside the home for animals to be. Regular outside time is given as needed as well as walks and plenty of space if any pups need separation.
About: From poodles to pugs, doodles to terriers, and even rottweilers—I’ve cared for them all! With 20 years of fostering experience and personally trained obedience dogs, I understand the unique needs of every pup. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or just lots of love, your dog will be in great hands. Plus, with a fenced yard, they’ll have a safe space to run and explore. Book with me for a fun, safe, and loving experience for your furry friend! 🐾🐕 🐾 Recently Retired = Full-Time Dog Mom! 🐾 I recently retired and am excited to officially become a full-time dog mom! ❤️ That also means I’m available most days for pet sitting, doggy daycare, or even just a quick walk when your pup needs some extra attention. My schedule is flexible, and I genuinely enjoy spending my days with dogs. Whether your pup needs a place to hang out, some company while you’re away, or simply needs to stretch their legs and get some exercise, I’d love to help! 🐶 Lots of love 🐾 Plenty of attention ❤️ A home where dogs are family I’m looking forward to meeting some new four-legged friends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I offer supervised group play time for dogs who enjoy socializing, along with individualized attention when that’s a better fit. For walks, you tell me what your pup needs! We can do a structured walk for exercise and training, or slow things down and enjoy a sniffari—because sometimes the best walk is the one where your dog gets to stop and smell everything. 🐶👃🌿 Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your preferences and your dog’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me.
“Krystal did a fabulous job taking care of our high energy, nervous dog. She got her to eat and outside with any issues. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again. Thanks Krystal!!”
About: My name is Omi, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for pets began in childhood while growing up in Puerto Rico, where I was surrounded by cats, dogs and many other animals. Living with so many different animals taught me from an early age how to understand their unique personalities, care for their needs, and appreciate the unconditional love they give. My very first pet was a Chihuahua with a wonderfully spicy personality who quickly became a cherished member of our family. As I got older, I naturally became the person family, friends, and neighbors trusted to care for their pets whenever they traveled. I regularly looked after my aunt's dog, Rosie, cared for my neighbor's cat, Chloe, spent time with my cousin's Husky, Brooklyn, and cared for my sister's three cats by feeding them and making sure they were happy and comfortable while she was away. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and cared for just as they would at home. I have a naturally nurturing personality and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, offering plenty of affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Today, I still enjoy caring for animals and currently have a betta fish of my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I know how much our pets mean to us because they truly are family, and I would be honored to care for yours while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend only a few hours each day on my computer. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore, and there's also a nearby dog park for walks, exercise, and extra enrichment if desired. I make sure every pet receives plenty of love, playtime, affection, and one-on-one attention while respecting their individual personalities and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I'll make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I carefully follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routine they're accustomed to. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship while ensuring they always have access to fresh water and a clean, safe environment. Communication is also important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and receiving the same love and attention they would get at home. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like a member of my own family.
“Kacey was a very excellent caregiver to Sophie, as usual! I was able to have so much fun on my vacation knowing Sophie was being well taken care of back home. Sophie appreciated all the pets and treats!!! We will be booking with Kacey again 😊”
“Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I have alot of compassion for our pets that rely on us for everything. We are their world. I am here to make your time away from home a positive one for the pets and the homeowner. I am currently working part-time, but I am planning on transitioning to pet-sitting full-time. Animals deserve great care when their owners are away. My visits with your pet/pets will be scheduled as requested. I will make sure that their environment is safe and clean up any accidents. Their food will be given as you request and water bowls will be be replenished. Going for walks and outdoor playtime is also available.
“Our first experience using Rover with Liz as our pet sitter was the best experience! Liz has great communication and showed a lot of love and care for our animals. She also took some pretty great photos that made us smile during the drop in visits. Thanks for making this a great first experience, Liz! We appreciate you!”

“Couldn’t be happier. My dogs mean the world to me! It was difficult to leave them with someone to take care of them. If opportunity presents itself I won’t hesitate to call Rinske again. It was a pleasure to meet her. Thank you”
About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

Carlie has checked in on babies a few times now and they love her so much. She’s so loving and treats them like her own. She’s knowledgeable and gives them the best care.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Grand Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
