“I’m so appreciative of Annabelle! She was happy to help when I needed a last minute sitter for my cats over the holidays and provided great communication throughout the whole process. It was such a relief to know the kitties were under such great care! Would definitely recommend!”
“Nicholas was awesome! He did in-home visits and walks for our dogs while we were away. He was great with our anxious doggos and everything went smoothly. Thank you, Nicholas!”
“We booked Kasse last minute and everything went smoothly. She was understanding of our situation and put my anxiety at ease. Our pups loved her and the pictures she sent are priceless We'll be booking her again.”
“Hope has been great with communication and attention to detail. I have many specific requests with my elderly dog and Hope has confirmed every one while also being patient when I was out of cell/wifi range. I plan to continue to work with her 😊”
“Our kitten is rather shy, but KATIE was able to get her to accept her and pet her and play. It was nice having comments and I loved seeing the photos! Thanks very much.”
About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.
About: Call me Neko please! I have taken care of and looked after all kinds of animals my whole life, but really I started pet sitting when I was 16. Sure, I do care for cats and dogs, but if your fur-baby isn't exactly a fur-baby, thats no problem for me! Feathers, scales, chitin in some cases, I have been around many kinds of pets, and I have quite the knowledge base on many of them. Currently my own fur babies are ferrets- And before anyone asks, no I do not feel its a good idea for your pet(s) to meet my ferrets.. (I don't want a dangerous situation for either of our babies, this is also why I do not offer drop off/boarding services at my home.) Im fully used to them being all energy for 4 hours so if you have high energy pets I'm happy to tire them out. More of a chill pet? I will probably chill next to them assuming they allow me to. I will always check in on them, probably more often than you think because I am all about them and will want to see what they are up to. If I house sit, do note that I bike around town, so I will need to arrange a place to store the bike safely while I house sit otherwise I will be unable to house sit for you in most cases. I work flex time as of right now so I have a lot of extra time on my hands! I usually spend it doing art or caring for my ferrets but I would love to busy myself with more pets, I love all kinds of animals! I am very attuned to looking out for pet proofing, because you can imagine what kind of things ferrets could get into if I didn't... I would never neglect to watch for your pets saftey, as that will always be my top priority. If anything were to happen or if I feel something is off, you will be the first to know! I'd rather be safe than sorry.
About: Hello, my name is Lara and I am a pet enthusiast! I love spending as much time with dogs and cats as possible, and I'm so eager to meet new furry friends. I recently moved to the area from Michigan where I worked for a dog sitting company for 2 years, privately nannied for a few dogs, and fostered 12 different adult dogs and puppies through different rescues. I've lived with and cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm always excited to expand my knowledge with a new breed :) I love to take pictures of your pet and update you with how your baby is doing while you're away. Let's set up a meet and greet to see if I am a good fit for your fur babies! Can’t wait to meet you :) I have a fairly flexible lunch hour and am typically around on weekends. I can take a midday lunch to drop in on your pet, or swing by at dinner time, whatever you prefer. I make sure to be present often if I am pet sitting so your dog won’t feel anxiety over you being away! I like to follow their routine so the can feel as normal as possible while you’re gone.
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up with them, I have experience with everything from puppies to senior dogs, kittens and senior cats. I currently care for two large, dogs and two cats. I have plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, grooming, feeding, and playtime. I love having an active companion, like a dog, but I have a special soft spot for cats. Their unique reserved and affectionate personalities make them especially close to my heart. I often help care for neighbors' animals while they’re away, making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their absence. My experience with pet care has taught me the importance of attentive care and excites me to continue working with animals. As I am graduating high school, I’ve had the flexibility to care for my pets, which is something I truly enjoy. I can be attentive to feeding my dogs and cats, refreshing their water. I make time throughout the day for grooming, playtime, and keeping their spaces clean. My favorite activities involve the outdoors, including hiking and I love to bring a four legged buddy along. Even with social plans or family commitments, I always prioritize making sure my pets feel cared for, loved and part of my daily life. As a pet owner, I’m well equipped with plenty of treats, toys, brushes, and food and water dishes. My dogs enjoy a fenced backyard at home, and I often take them to a nearby park for more space to run. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I make sure to spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also available to stay overnight if needed and can help with light household tasks like watering plants or vacuuming. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 8 years now, for the past 4 years I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes for neighbors and friends consistently. I’m currently in school, so I can drop by between classes. I’m available before 9 am every day, and available between 10-12 and after 3 pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’m also available after 2 on Tuesday, and 1 on Thursday. I treat every home and pet with care and respect, making sure your pet feels safe. I also follow routines and details very closely to make sure your pet receives the best care!
“Whitney was great! She came and met our cat and got oriented to our home ahead of the scheduled visits. Whitney took great care of our cat and provided pictures and updates at each visit. It is nice knowing that our pet is in good hands when we are away from home.”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for animals of every kind. I love dogs and cats, and all animals . Your pet will receive patient, dependable, loving care and personalized attention while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m self-employed, don’t currently work a full-time job, and my children are grown and out of the house. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and plenty of time to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, have a strong work ethic, and believe every animal deserves kindness, respect, and attentive care. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, exercise, playtime, affection, and any medications or special care they need. I believe animals know when they are loved, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have cared for my own pets for decades. I have sat with dogs from puppies to seniors. I love to calm their nerves and give them tactile care. I am currently retired and this has been goal for years to spend these years caring for others loved ones (pet) so they can travel. I lost my beloved Willis in June and decided to care for others pets to bring some joy I will be caring for pets in their own environment and will follow the owners instructions as to their care and safety. Any special needs will be followed per the owners instructions. My Willis was blind and diabetic for the last five years of his life.
About: I have four dogs, and two cats. I treat all pets as if my own kids. I am good at potty training if needed, and special diets or any meds they need to take. I can take care of guinea pigs as well. I have owned them before. I will NOT watch a dog over 50-60 pds max. The only times I am away from home is usually for doctor appts. I am available for emergency situations as well. I know people don't think about that so its good to have a plan just incase the unfortunate happens, and u need me to go pick up the furbaby and bring them to my house until you are able to care for them. Know they will be safe and loved. I have a fenced backyard, as well as four dogs that would keep them company, and play with them while they are here. I can feed them separately as well. In your home I will make sure they are safe and can't get out and get lost. I have never lost a pet in my care.
“Patricia is an excellent communicator and very dependable. She was very kind and loving to our pups. She played frisbee with our very energetic Border Collies, took them for walks, and on a day when it was too hot for frisbee, she spent time playing with them indoors. The younger pup was having a difficult time with his first-ever overnight without his people. She gave him extra loving care. I would highly recommend Patricia.”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own of various sizes and 2 cats. I love taking care of pets and have experience pet sitting and volunteering at the animal shelter. I currently work full time remotely so I can be flexible with drop ins, walks, and house sitting if I am able to work in your home or commute back and forth! I am comfortable with different settings and multiple pets! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I can to care for other pets as well, if shown!

Debra was able to react quickly to an emergency situation when our dog sitter bailed when we were already out of town. She was extremely patient and caring towards our puppy who is still getting used to strangers. We would highly recommend Debra. Her communication was great and she was great with our pup.
I can’t express enough how great Annabelle is! I work 12 hr night shifts and she graciously accepted to let my pup out at a late time to help me out. She is punctual and goes above and beyond for my dog! She treats her as if she is her own. I didn’t even ask her but when my grass was wet she wiped her paws before coming in. I highly recommend Annabelle to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

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 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.
