“Bethany loved on my boys, Yoshi & Jet, providing the best care! She played with them, brushed them & fussed over them just like I wished....just like I do myself. Now, as for my dogs.... They want to know where "Their Beffany" is!?!! As if they'd rather have her feed them than me. (of course is Bethany A. said in dog)”
“We can’t thank Erica enough for her incredible care of our pets over Christmas. She went above and beyond, sharing photos to keep us updated, being attentive to every detail, and caring for our sweet pups. Her reliability and thoroughness gave us such peace of mind during the holidays. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“Belinda did a great job checking on my Sophie! She sent pictures and made sure we knew everything was going well. Sophie seemed very comfortable with her. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’m reliable and flexible. I will spend quality time with your babies. I will take them for walks and play. I will love them like they are my own. I can follow whatever routine you have. I do work full time but before and after work won’t be a problem. I will make sure to keep them on the same routine. I can care for your pets in your home better than them being boarded or kenneled. I can housesit and take care of your pets. If your dogs need to be bathed I can bath them.
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets other than cats and dogs. Caring for your pets will be an honor, as I would care for them as if they were my own I currently do not work, therefore I have plenty of free time to help take care of your pets if you havea busy schedule and I will not have to rush. I have a fenced in yard and am home all day to provide lots of attention and play time as well as potty breaks. This also allows me to abide easily by a feeding schedule and I can give extra comfort to pets with high anxiety.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.
About: I have experience in long term pet sitting, senior dogs with medications, and can handle multiple dogs at once. I am clean, friendly, and very detail oriented. I am currently working part time as I get ready to move! I am pretty much always available for early mornings, late nights, and weekends! I am very organized and detail oriented. I care a lot for pets and can follow instructions easily. I am very patient, kind, and will leave your home in tip top shape after :)
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets if a trip has come up, or if they need someone to be there for their pup for an only a few hours. I have experience with dogs of all types of energy levels—from energetic puppies who require structure and play to senior dogs who want a calm, cozy environment. I’m 100% dedicated to your dog’s wellbeing and happiness while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur babies! I’m available mostly during the week and sometimes during the weekend. Because every dog is different, I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and tailor my approach to them so that I may give them the best care possible. I follow all my clients requests and schedules closely to make sure your pets feel comfortable and happy. I also take any feeding schedules, medications, crate time, and/or special routines very seriously because consistency is what matters for your dog’s wellbeing. Clients are also updated with messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing!
“Caitlyn is amazing at what she does. She is beyond caring for your pets and goes the extra mile. She is very friendly, reliable, prompt, accommodating and makes booking a breeze, EVEN at the last minute and during busy holiday times! There are so many things I could say that highlight how wonderful Caitlyn is. Our 3 cats received the care and attention they needed, and our house was even kept tidy, (especially since our youngest cat was into tearing up our Christmas decorations, which Caitlyn took it upon herself to clean up every mess). We loved how Caitlyn pays attention to every detail! Before sitting she meets with your family and makes sure that she knows your pet(s): from treats, feeding and routine, down to the way they like to play and interact. We never worried a minute while we were out of town because she has EVERYTHING under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our pets could stay in their own environment and routine. We would HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn and her pet sitting services. She went above and beyond our expectations, she provided photos each day, very detailed Rover cards each day, and gave us brief text updates daily, as well. She is very trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. She was meticulous and detailed, and that was very appreciated. We are so grateful to have found her, especially during a holiday time, and can't wait to utilize her services again when traveling.”
“This was our first experience using Michael. We usually book another sitter for our trips, but they were unavailable. Michael was a true professional. He kept in constant communication and showed up on schedule. We really appreciated Michael taking such good care of our girl Rylie.”

“Savannah is an absolute incredible person to take care of your dogs! My 2 dogs absolutely love her and she treats them as her own! Plenty of pictures and great notes 😊 highly recommend!”
About: Hello ! I just moved here from Virginia, and I want to tell you a bit about me. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Always playing/taking on walks, feeding them, and giving cuddles. As a dog mom of two K understand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your babies while you’re away. I regularly dog sat for a yellow lab and shih tzu in VA, and since moving here I adopted a second dog and i have been walking/doing drop in visits for other dogs near me, as seen in pictures ! I am a stay at home wife, so I’m available pretty much anytime. I do like getting my own pup at least an hour of play before leaving but that will be no issue I make sure I play with the pups very frequently, especially when I first get there and before I leave. I make sure to take them on 1-2 40 minute walks depending on how long i’m watching them for. One walk after they eat and one walk later on. I can brush them, feed them, play in the yard with them, etc.
About: Hi! My name is Becca and I personally have had animals my entire life but besides personal experience I have been working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic for a year now. I’ve had experience with everything from itty bitty babies to senior citizens. I’m currently in my undergrad at college to eventually attend vet school and I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and hopefully gain more animal experience in the process!! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. If I have a time blocked off you need, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you on anything. I’m also open to adding basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims if needed🐾 I’m currently working and attending college so my availability would usually include mornings and nights on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & as of right now Saturday and Sunday. However I am available in the morning, afternoon, and nights on Monday and Wednesday until approximately October! I’ll always respect and care for your home and fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any given instructions you leave for your pet and I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away!!
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I have a love for big and small! Ever since I was 11 years old and received my very own fur baby our house has never been empty of one. We treat our animals like they are family and I will care for yours the same way! I an a SAHM so I am mostly free! Just have to pick up our son from school around 2:30 in the afternoons but other than that I am available! We just recently lost our 9 year old German shepherd so I know and am comfortable with senior dogs! We now just have our Siberian husky Myia who is our old lady lol I will take care of your animals with love as I do with mine and also play with them!
About: My name is Casey. I have been working with dogs professionally for about a decade in Washington state. Ran a small boarding and training business in WA. Trained hundreds of dogs with their owners in sport, obedience, group classes, service, and behavioral modification. Me and my family are moving south to the Mobile area and I am exited to start working with dogs again in a different area and meet all the new personalities the dogs have! Currently waiting on our permanent residence. We will be buying in the mobile area within a month or 2 with acreage but our current rental may not allow boarding but I can still do private training sessions and house/pet sitting. Will update this as soon as everything is set up! Kennels will be spaced apart, all dogs with behavioral problems like anxiety or reactivity will have their own quiet area. All the social dogs will get to play during the day. Every dog gets 1 on 1 time and there will be a fenced yard to rotate dogs throughout the day.
About: I have had dogs in my house ever since I was a small child and have taken care of them and trained them in crates, bathrooms, etc. I help friends whenever they need me to come check on their pets or keep them at my place and enjoy being around animals. I currently work 8:30-5:00 full time but I have somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home some weeks. Even when I am in the office I would be able to leave for a visit or two during the work day. I have a very nice common area and will be happy to walk your dog as much as they need. I also have a 7 month lab pup named Rico who is the best boy and would love to play with your pup. He has been great with other dogs so far but can be a little hyper.
“Lex was amazing! She was so nice to come out and meet me and the animals before the visit, she wrote down notes of what needed to be done when, she was very professional and also such a sweet girl. The visit itself went great! I felt like my animals were well taken care of. The rover cards each day are so nice to receive, I loved getting the photos of our babies while we are away knowing they were taken care of. I 100% will be using lex again!”

This was our first time using Rover. Graham’s drop ins for our 9 month old kitten were consistent, detailed and thorough. She provided pics and stories of her visits. This was a perfect option instead of taking kitty out of her element and placing her in a kennel. And the cost was about the same. Thank you Graham!

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.

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 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.
