“Tawny was super responsive and took great care of my babies! They went above and beyond my expectations. Even when my kitties made a bit of a mess she cleaned it right up and informed me! My shyest cat loved her to bits too so if I ever need a sitter again I'm definitely choosing her!”
About: Ive taken care of my best friends dog Tucker , he is a very adorable golden retriever , and ive taken care of him by walking him, feeding him , and sleeping with him. I love giving him lots of belly rubs , cuddles , and of course kisses. Secondly Ive taken care of my boyfriends two dogs named Mabel and pebbles, they are both small dogs, and ive taken care of them by walking them , feeding them , and sleeping with them as well. Lastly I love dogs so much , I would do anything for them. Dogs love the safe calm energy that I always bring to them , which always makes me very happy because I will always give dogs the love , and tender care that they always deserve because dogs are very important , they are family! Im currently working part time right now , so I will have plenty of time to play with lots of dogs , and of course puppies!! Which im very very excited about. Near my complex I live around the corner from a park where I would take my old dog. I can take your dog to a park so that your dog can socialize with other dogs , puppies , etc (if requested). Lastly I will make sure that your dog will be on a leash the whole time , and to make sure that your loving dog will have plenty of water no matter where we are.
“Jodi is great with my dog Mia. Did a check in visit this evening to take her out and feed her dinner. Jodi trays Mia like her own pet and gives updated throughout the visit!”
“Julia was great! She sent the best pics of my kitty while I was away and he seemed to really enjoy her company during the drop-ins. No issues what so ever and will definitely be using her again!”
“Unbelievably fantastic with my three ridiculous pets. She was super responsive, prompt, and helped take care of my little ones!!!! Even with complicated diet things and attitudes. I will absolutely be hiring her again, she is wonderful!!!!!!!!”
“Maria has watched our cats on two occasions now and has done a great job each time! Hard to find with others- but she even cleans the area/litter around the litter boxes and just does a great job with everything -from actually swapping out to clean fresh bowls at each feeding. Cleanliness, and friendliness goes a long way! We are so grateful we found her. Not an easy task with 5 cats! I would recommend her to care for your animals, too.”
About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read 🐾 Multi-Hour & Constant Care BookingsPlease note that my listed drop-in rates cover standard 30 to 60-minute visits. For extended, continuous care where I am required to stay at your home for multiple consecutive hours, I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour.If you need a multi-hour booking, please message me directly before confirming so I can manually adjust the request to the correct total! This ensures your pet gets my undivided attention for the entire block of time. I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.
“Elizabeth was so fast in responding when we were in a bind and needed a couple of check ins for our dog. Really appreciated her help and her updates from the visits.”
“Candi is the ideal pet sitter you’ve been looking for! She is reliable, trustworthy, and shows genuine kindness to our pets while we’re away. Preparing to travel and making accommodations for our furry friends has never been easier with her help.”
About: I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with dog walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions from pet owners and keeping them updated during visits. My goal is to provide reliable and loving care while treating every pet with patience and respect. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care during evenings, Saturdays, and on days when I’m not working. I’m reliable with scheduled visits and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their routine and their pet’s needs. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure. I keep the environment clean and safe, provide fresh food and water, and make sure pets receive the attention, playtime, walks, and care they need. I also respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is important, so I treat both with care, respect, and responsibility. I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.
About: I grew up with dogs and have almost always had one as an adult. I’m comfortable with all breed big and small and have trained many dogs, including stubborn pitties and enthusiastic goldens. I just adopted my foster pup Remy who is the best girl. I love dogs and will treat yours like they’re mine. I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a frolic! I currently am unemployed and filling my days with walking pups and volunteering. My schedule if pretty flexible. I’m on a pretty standard schedule for wake up and walks. I live in a 2nd floor apartment of a 2 family, so I can’t take dogs out there for a quick pee. I go for 2-3 walks a day with my pup. I’m adaptable for your pups schedule when sitting.
“Anna was great! She took care of our cat Charlotte over the holidays and sent pictures every visit. This was our first time using a pet sitting service, and we will definitely book with Rover and Anna again!”
“I have been using Leo for a little over a month now. I highly recommend him. Super great with communication, very attentive with my dog and super flexible. Biggie (my big boy) loves him and enjoys his time with him.”
“Vanessa took great care of my cats during 100 degree weather while I was away from work. She ensured they drank enough water and adjusted ACs where needed. I always know they were safe with her.”
“Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!”
“Sarah took the best care of my two cats, Tango and Mango!! They are rambunctious orange tabbies with big personalities and I am always hesitant about using someone unfamiliar to them. Sarah stopped over for a meet and greet before and they both took a liking to her. She visited every other day for a little over a week. She did an excellent job feeding them, changing their litter, and spending time playing with them. Sarah provided updates and pictures after each visit, which was much appreciated. She stayed in communication with me and made me feel at ease. The cats really liked her! I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs. I’m semi retired and love spending time with animals, so walking and pet sitting has been great! I am flexible and have a good car that is reliable in all weather. I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hathorne
Leslie is absolutely wonderful caring for our 2 senior cats with dental issues. Her communication with us during /after her visits is excellent and we enjoy the visit photos she sends . One thing that stood out in looking for a caregiver was Leslie's support for room cameras - we use these to check in to see if if their behavoirs /routines are as expected. It's very reassuring to be able to be away and know your pets are safe and being well cared for.
I was very anxious to go away and leave my cat all alone. We had been through so much this past year. Abby was beyond amazing with Declan! Every day getting photos of him being cuddled and played with helped me to relax and enjoy my trip. Declan was truly in the best hands. She even helped me with a small household issue because bad weather was coming. She is extremely responsible, comes over when she is expected to, and gave my cat so much love. I would have her watch him again without hesitation. Abby did so much more than take care of Declan, she allowed me to have the peace of mind that she was going to be there for him. Lovely woman!
Caden is our cats’ new favorite person! We have two cats Ollie and Oatey and they both have a little bit of different personalities; Caden catered to both. Oatey can be a little shy with new people and by the third or fourth day he was cuddling up on her lap. Ollie is more outgoing but doesn’t always engage with play (because his brother steals the show) and Caden brought her IPad for him to play with some mice games, which he appeared to love. Ollie isn’t a lap cat and by the end he was sitting in Caden's lap too. Caden was super thoughtful and attentive. She noticed when our litter robot was full and made sure to change it so our guys had fresh litter. She made sure the cats had fresh water during her visits. She gave us excellent updates and kept our cats happy while we were away. I could not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did without Caden being our sitter.
Sarah was great! It was the first time I’ve left my kitty Maples for more than one night and I felt super comfortable knowing Sarah was coming every day. She came exactly as we agreed on, I got a notification every time she came, and pictures too! I will definitely use Sara in the future!
Lauren was fabulous! My dog loved her! She was very responsible and did everything I asked her to do. She sent me pictures everyday which I really appreciated. I’ve already recommended her to some of my friends. I’m trying to think of some other places to go so I can use her again. Even my elderly neighbor loved her because she took the time to talk with him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
