About: Over the years, my family has had 7 dogs, and I have adored them all like family. That said, I have had experience caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Additionally, I have had countless jobs over the years dog-sitting for family or friends. I would give your dog or cat the love and care they need and be the person you could count on to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. My dad is allergic to cats, but if he wasn't, I would have one in a heartbeat! I would be honored to be given the opportunity to care for your pet. I am currently on a job search, so Rover is one of my means of income while I find a more full-time gig! I am pretty free and can pretty much completely plan my schedule around pet care. Whatever you need from me, I can do! I always approach pets I have not yet met with caution and gentleness. I will pet and hang out with your fur baby as much or as little as you'd like me to. It all just depends on your instructions.
“Jessica was very responsive to my inquiry and easy to work and scedule with! I really appreciate her being available last minute. Also, I allowed her to bring her daughter, and I could tell from all the pictures that our kitten absolutely loved playing with them both. It seems like he got plenty of attention, and their love for animals is totally apparent. I had no worries leaving our fur baby in their care. :)”
“Lexie is awesome. On time for visits and took great care of our fur baby, Delta! Reliable and respectful of our home and followed all instructions. If you have the opportunity to book Lexie-do it, you will be glad you did. Thank you, Lexie.”
“Claudia was amazing to work with! She communicated well and took such good care of my fur baby Hank!! I would recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”
“Wow, Emalee G. did a fantastic job! We went on a long cruise and I did not worry about our cat one time. Every day she sent us pictures and updates! I will call her again the next time we leave town!”
About: I’m a dog mom to three pups of my own, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own! I’m used to planning my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets plenty of attention. I work from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as three dogs of my own, so my home is very pet-friendly. I make introductions carefully and will always consider each dog’s personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and medication routines, and dogs can be separated or crated when needed. I’ll also send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time!

Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles or simply having someone nearby. I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own.

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.

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.
