“Amy It was a great comfort having Amy come to check in on my cat while I was away. She followed instructions and did everything that was asked. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“Danny did a great job checking on calamity and mikey. Even though they hid when he came, as I knew they would, I could tell they were well taken care of while I was gone. I will use him in the future when I need to go away.”
“Amanda was great! Very professional and on time. I only needed my dog walked once and she went above and beyond walked her every time! Even in the cold. I will book her any chance I get!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats, puppies and kittens for many years. I have raised my own dog from early puppyhood to mature adulthood and her social but controlled behavior and level of training quickly caught the eye of other dog owners with young dogs. I had spent years researching dog and cat behavior, dog training, and everything related to dog breed history and care. This knowledge, along with my passion for animals, allowed me to offer services like dog training, walking, sitting, and drop-in visits with confidence and excitement even as a young teenager. This confidence and excitement along with my knowledge has only grown since then. I have experience with large breeds like Dobermans and Great Danes as well as smaller breeds like Cavaliers. Energetic breeds like Labradors and high-drive breeds like Coonhounds. When I provide you my services, its not just taking care of you and your pet(s) needs, its a reassuring peace of mind. It's a genuine relationship built on trust. Its a pleasant interaction between you and I and a lavish experience for your pet. It's knowing that I am not only making your pet's day but he/she is making mine as well. That's the difference between simply getting a job done and ensuring the care that's provided is at the next level. The level I'd want for my own sweet pets. I am currently in a season of life that allows me to be flexible and able to go the extra mile in providing the best service around! I just graduated high school and am taking a gap year. Even though I am working another job as well, now is a good opportunity to get involved in caring for your pet's various needs. I am a quick learner and am able to follow your instructions for how you prefer your pet to be cared for in your home. I can crate a dog if needed. I am able to fill your 30 minute time slot for drop-in visits with cuddles, playtime indoor and outdoor (whichever is preferred) and I understand that exercising your dog mentally is just as important as physically so I enjoy incorporating mentally stimulating factors into my visits. Training, finding treats, playing games etc.
“Alexandria is always so wonderful with our cat. This time around, she had the added task of administering medicine, and she had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!”
“Jasmine has been wonderful. She does all the things that a Rover sitter is supposed to do. She loves my dog and two cats. She takes cute pics of them. She's on time. She's reliable. She's trustworthy.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was around 12 years old. Working in a school setting has also strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different personalities, skills I bring into caring for every pet. I work for CASD, so my schedule is very consistent during the school year, with availability after 3:45 PM on weekdays and open weekends. During the summer, I have full availability, which means I can provide more flexible scheduling, extended stays, and extra attention for your pets throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always supervise interactions and can separate pets if needed. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress-free.
“Courtlyn did an outstanding job. She had a meet and greet with our dog before the actual date. When taking care of Maverick she was always punctual. She sent pictures and comments so we could see that he was being walked and fed. I would certainly use Courtlyn again. I highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Adriana was fantastic! We have two dogs, and one is still working through some fear of new people from her time before us. We had a long time sitter that recently moved away and we're very nervous about introducing someone new. Adriana took the time to come meet us and our dogs prior to the requested service and was very patient with both of our dogs. She spent the entire visit outside playing ball and letting our dogs run even on a cold, rainy day. We will be booking with her again!”
About: I cherish dogs and all they have to offer. I foster dogs for a rescue and can see first hand what love can do for a dog, and what that dog can do for you! I will treat your baby as though they were mine! I have a rescue dog who changed my life. I never thought it was possible to love a dog as much as I do. Some call it insane-like...I call it love!! Let me take care of your babies while you're away or just at work. They'll be well taken care of and exercised. If they love car rides that can be arranged as well! My dog is super friendly and will love to hang out and play with your pup!
“Caylene came every day as scheduled & took her time trying to find my shy kitties!! Was even able to send a couple pictures. It was a big relief to know we had her to rely on & didn’t have to worry while we were away.”
“Isabel did an excellent job with my German shepherds. My dogs felt comfortable around her, she was very attentive and communicative throughout each drop in visit. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I can't imagine life without them. As my senior dog ages, I see myself caring for others pets. I work part time when it fits my schedule. I am pursuing petsitting, especially dog walking, to up my daily excercise and meet new dogs. I have a senior hound mix who I have had for 7 years. We take a long walk twice a day. She receives her medication during feeding.

Amy was wonderful with my two cats, Nuggets and Zahara!! I had already booked Amy for a 10-day vacation in September, but had a last minute weekend away and she was available to care for them. I love the pictures she took of them as well and look forward to having her care for them again!!
Courtlyn did an outstanding job. She had a meet and greet with our dog before the actual date. When taking care of Maverick she was always punctual. She sent pictures and comments so we could see that he was being walked and fed. I would certainly use Courtlyn again. I highly recommend her to care for your pet.
For the first time in 5 years since having our dog, we both had to be away for 5 days. Crux was a rescue dog with severe abuse issues whom we adopted from a rescue shelter. We booked with Alexandria. She was fantastic!! She cared for him with physical needs like food and water. She played with him and took him on long walks on our mountain property. She spent time with him out on the patio. She met his emotional issues. Due to his huge shedding issues, she dry mopped our floors. More so she instilled trust with a dog who had huge issues. There is no one better to trust care for your pet.

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 Guilford 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
