About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
About: I had been taking care of my family’s chihuahua and poodle growing up, and I was a sitter for my friend’s Munchkin cat for one year. My friends would always come to me to check on their cats whenever they were out of town. I’m currently taking care of a kitten of my own. I’m currently a full-time grad student, but I’m usually free after 6 pm during weekdays. I have more availability on weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate to the client’s schedule. I have a young kitten in my house right now, but I fenced the entry to her floor. Your fur babies can either snuggle with her or can be housed separately on other floors.
“Angel is amazing! She communicates very well and swiftly. She pays attention to your dogs food and water intake. Will even go the extra mile by washing out the water bowl. A great sitter overall!!”
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
“Bria was so so sweet to my baby! She was very communicative and I fear that my cat will miss her more than she missed me. Will definitely reach out next time I need!”
About: I am a medical student looking to help care for pets in my community! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards and frogs... oh my! I adopted two cats in the last year and have loved every minute of being their cat-mom. I have always been an animal person and pride myself on working hard, being timely and treating all creatures with the love they deserve. I am a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate to your pet's needs! I can often do classes from home which allows me to set my own daily schedule most days of the week- perfect for taking a study break to walk your pup or check in on your furry friends at home! I live in apartment in Arlington but have access to safe, side-walked neighborhoods for walking your dog around! If staying in your home, I will care for your pets exactly as you would like, with genuine care, trust and a love for animals being at the core of who I am and what I do!
“She was a angel sent at the last minute she swooped in and saved the day. She provided great care to my loving girl. Everything I asked of her for my baby was done. She was heaven sent I will make it my business to book with her again”
“Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.”
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“Mia is the only sitter you need. She was super communicative and I felt that she took time to play and love on the kitties. All three of my cats were so happy and content when we came home from our trip, it’s like we weren’t even gone! They were in good hands :)”
About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“I am very pleased with the service received for Kash. He was well taken care of and notifications and pictures of him on a daily were appreciated. I will definitely be booking Shakiyla again for any pet services needed in the future. Thank you 😊”

“Zoey is AMAZING! The moment we met her we knew she was going to be the perfect fit for our fur baby. Her love for animals is obvious, and I truly believe she treats all animals like they’re her own. She sent us lots of pictures and a thorough update of her visit, which put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend for your dog/house sitting needs! We have already rebooked her services.”
“Stephanie is great! She had no problem setting up a meet and greet so we could get to know her a little before we booked her. She's done a few visits for us already and the pets love her. We hope to continue using her for drop-in visits and house sitting.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gwynn Oak
Emily is conscientious, punctual, friendly, and clearly loves cats. My cat Lilah instantly felt at ease with her, even though she typically hides from any new people for a day or two. But with Emily, Lilah felt safe to emerge for brushing starting with her first visit! She also provided informative updates including photos at every visit, and took care of the litter as well. I know that Lilah will always be in good hands with Auntie Emily!
Hayden is a great pet sitter, I would highly recommend you book her. She took great care of my two cats, provided me with daily updates, photos, and was willing to help in any way. She helped keep the litter box clean, fed the cats on-time, and played with them before leaving.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
Iman was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Ammo. She was always on time, extremely attentive, and provided detailed updates after every walk, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very considerate about the weather, always reaching out during extreme heat or rain to make sure Ammo would be safe and comfortable before heading out. She followed every instruction I left perfectly and clearly cared about Ammo's well being as if he were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely be booking with Iman again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️
Lindsay was perfect! Communication was easy and timely, we met for a walk around our neighborhood prior to her watching our pup. She sent pictures during her visits with Buster and made sure he got all the pets and love! Look forward to booking with her again!
Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!

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 .

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.
