“Victoria took incredible care of my cat, replied literally in 2 minutes when I was in a HUGE pinch trying to find a sitter last minute, great at communication and giving me the cutest pics and updates. I appreciate and trust her so much!!!”
“Lauren was terrific with my two cats. She helped us out on short notice, even doing a drop in visit on the day she was moving out of town. She communicated quickly and sent great photos and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Josh has went above and beyond to accommodate my very shy dog. He has went out of his way during his own lunches to make extra drop-in visits to continue to build a relationship with my boy. He has great communication skills and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a house visit or stay. Thank you!!”
About: I've worked with, loved, and cared for all types of animals my entire life. I have many years of experience sitting for and walking dogs. I can't wait to care for or walk your pet! I work remotely from home and am available 7 days a week. I can work remotely from the clients’ home when house sitting as well. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. I have no pets of my own and my home is a safe and smoke free place.
About: I have rescued dogs for 25+ years. I have rescued Rottweilers, Cane Corso, Hound mix, and Lab mixes. I am well versed on handling large, reactive dogs. My dogs always get walked twice/day for 2-3 miles, regardless of weather. I have also taken care of friends and neighbors dogs, everything from French Mastiffs to chihuahuas. Because I sometimes have damaged/reactive dogs, I take walks very seriously and stay very alert to avoid issues. I no longer work at my career job, and am semi-retired so am available most of the time, during the week and weekends, aside from vacations. My dogs get free rein of the downstairs, I do not let them on furniture, however. Despite living in the city, I have a large fenced backyard that I let the dogs out to run around whenever they want, though they always get walked twice a day as well
“Emily did an incredible job taking care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is quite reserved and takes a while to warm up to new people, but Emily handled her with utmost care and patience. We would definitely book her again!”
“Anna is so wonderful! She has helped us out several times and gives our two cats lots of love while we’re away. She is great at communicating and sending the cutest pictures! Thank you so much, Anna!!”
About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and enjoy taking care of them along with being around them. I had two dogs growing up for the longest period of my life and miss them while I am away at college. I also had a rescued dog growing up so I am well aware of the different personalities and fears dogs might have. I am a student-athlete at Northwestern University and love being active. Watching and caring for a dog will just play into my lifestyle already. Although I live in an apartment, I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of with multiple walks. I am blocks away from the lake front walk way in Evanston and love spending time outside. For Doggy Day care, I typically have packed morning with sport obligations so drop off time would need to be early like 6:45 or later like 10:15 depending on the day. I would love to take care of your four-legged friend.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family owned a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and a Goldendoodle. As our Wheaten Terrier entered her senior years, I helped care for her and became familiar with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs often need. I'm comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also cared for my roommate's cats for weeks at a time while she traveled, treating them as if they were my own. As a responsible and attentive pet lover, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a school counselor, I have summers off and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate extra time and attention to caring for your pets. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands while you're away. I’m available on weekdays and weekends! Reach out to me and we’ll set something up :) I provide pet care directly in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they are well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’m also attentive to details like medication schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would. Please tell me all the random and goofy things that are essential to your pet’s routine!

I am able to walk any kind of dog and be in an environment where I feel safe and can also put your animal in a crate if i feel uncomfortable.
“It’s amazing to be able to go on vacation & know your fur baby is in the best care. Geren once again blew me away with her constant communication & utmost respectable care for Sydney. I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Thank you Geren!”
About: I grew up with a French Bulldog & Olde English Bulldog, so I’m used to dealing with sleepy dogs and also dogs who need to be run around to burst some energy! I am eager and care about dogs’ health, safety, and comfort. I have worked with puppies who need potty trained as well as senior dogs who need more intentional care as well. I work 9-5 Monday-Friday so I tend to me available mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays! I enjoy meeting dogs where they are at. If the need a long walk, then I look forward to exploring a new neighborhood. If they need naps and chill time, then I’ll make sure the home and cozy and comfortable for them. I want dogs to feel like their owners never left by sticking to the routine they are most comfortable with. I have worked with owners who have fences and don’t have fences. I am comfortable with crating but also have had dogs sleep with me if that is what preferred. Whenever I care for dogs I try to keep their routine what they are used to while taking into account their safety. In your home, I will make sure to follow any instructions and routines you need and the dog needs as well!
About: I grew up with Susie (dog) and Corky (cat). I have helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets while they are away and enjoy walking, especially with a purpose! During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available during the morning, midday, afternoon and evening for pets' varied needs and I love to walk. I take your pets' care seriously and am committed to making them feel comfortable and meeting their needs. Each pet has a distinct personality and varied needs.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
“Juli was amazing with my pup, Sunny! Sunny is very timid and shy, and Juli was really patient with her. Sunny was even asking for belly rubs by the end of their first visit! I couldn’t recommend Juli enough, I will definitely be using her in the future!”

Emma has been someone that me and my dogs can count on to help us out through very trying times. My mother recently passed away and I had to make a 16 hour round trip in 2 days to attend her funeral. My first thought was “who is going to watch the dogs?!” Emma was available and more than willing to help us out. It is such a great relief when you are hours away from home but know that your house and your dogs are safe in Emma’s hands. Will book again and again 🖤
Alex so awesome. I would highly recommend her to watch your precious angels. She made everything so easy. She was very patient with my huge scared and shy newfoundland Buckley. My other 2 dogs Harpo and Jax fell in love with her very quickly. Alex and i messaged back and forth and i gave her some ideas to get Buckley to warm up to her. She was very thankful for the ideas and Buckley warmed up to her after only a couple visits. I didn't have to worry while on vacation because she was very communicative. I felt like they were in such good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
This was our second time using Julia, and we had another great experience! She is reliable, follows our dog’s routine closely, and makes it easy for us to feel comfortable knowing he’s well cared for while we’re away. We’ll definitely continue using her!
Sadie-Jean took great care of our golden retriever Beau while we were gone for the day! She always goes above and beyond, and we never have to worry about Beau while we are gone when she is watching him! We have booked with her in the past and will continue to book with her in the future! Thank you so much Sadie-Jean!!
Camryn was an amazing help to our family this summer. She did daily visits with my dog while I was at work, was always there right on time, sent multiple pictures, and made sure my dog had lots of fun and exercise. I’d recommend to anyone looking for help with their furry friend.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Grandview Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
