About: DETAILED SERVICES PROVIDED HERE: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for 20+ years. I have two dogs which I trained myself to pass the CGC Test. I am an athlete so walking and running with dogs is always a great time! I am patient and truly believe every pet deserves love & attention. I treat every pet like one of my own — calm, attentive, and consistent. I send updates with photos after every visit, communicate quickly, and pay attention to the small things (medication times, food preferences, anxiety triggers). I've built long-term relationships with my repeat clients because I show up the same way every time.

Per-visit updates for all drop-ins and walks. I respond to messages within a few hours during the day. Meet & Greet: Free 15-minute meet for new clients before our first booking. This helps your pet get comfortable with me and lets us go over routines, medications, and any quirks. Cancellation: 72-hour notice appreciated.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or evening check-ins. I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, and I always prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible in the comfort of their own home. If needed, I’m also able to work from your home during house sits, allowing me to provide extra companionship, supervision, and care while you’re away. Because I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s personalized routine and provide care when they need it most. Whether it’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home. I believe consistency is important, so I work to keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease.

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals. I used to own 2 dogs and would foster street animals. I would volunteer at an animal shelter to gain more proper animal care, I was a groomer to learn animal behavior, and back to college I’ve gained animal experience for all different sizes of animals. Not only this but I go to my friends house weekly to play with their dogs and play with them During this summer I am attending school but only have 2 classes from 8am-3pm. Afterward I am trying to gain any opportunities that will help me grow my resume and animal experience. I am a huge pet person and prefer to spend my time caring and giving attention to the pet. I am very cautious of my surroundings

About: Dogs and cats trainer. I know how hard it is to leave the love of your life. But for those moments, I'm here to help. I work fully remote. I study in the afternoon for my masters which for the next couple months until graduation will limit my type of services. Although anything can be coordinated upon request. Your pet will have its own bedroom unless cuddles are required. Parks are available around my place to go for a good walk. Building is petfriendly.

I can always count on Melissa to not just to walk my large doggies safely, but to have the patience to deal with their quirkiness. My dog likes to play ‘catch-me if you can’ before his walks and Melissa is super patient with him. This can be super annoying when you are in a hurry so I really appreciate her so much for not giving up on him. Thank you and sorry!

About: I began dog sitting a couple of years ago for the families I babysat for. When they would go out of town I would bring my furry friends home with me. I’ve always enjoyed taking them to the nearby parks and beaches around me. When they stay with me they are taken care for and treated like family. I work full time but I’m free on the weekends and occasionally on Fridays. My availability is mainly on the weekends since I am home. When I bring them home with me I like to have their bed and food set up in my living room. I have a back yard where they can hang out as well. I like to keep them in their routine and walk them frequently so they’re not inside all day. I try to do the same even if they stay in their home. I will check in as often as I can and will take them on longer walks when they stay in their home since I am not there the whole day as I would be in my own home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my own family pets. Over the years, that grew into helping with family friends’ dogs and even walking and sitting for neighbors who trusted me with their pets. Friends, family, and neighbors know me as dependable, loving, and attentive, so I’ve often been the first person they think of when they need someone to care for their dogs. I love everything about dogs—their loyalty, energy, and unique personalities. Whether it’s going on long walks, keeping up with playful pups, or providing gentle care for senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m also comfortable with the basics of puppy care, such as crate training, potty breaks, and reinforcing good habits. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. As a college student, I have open availability from Monday through Sunday, which makes pet care a perfect fit for my routine. I enjoy spending my time caring for animals, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or providing comfort and companionship. In my home, I have a backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and playtime in a safe space. I also live with my mom and sister, who both love animals just as much as I do. That means your pet will get plenty of love and attention not just from me, but from my family as well. At the same time, we’re all very mindful of respecting each pet’s boundaries and making sure they feel comfortable at their own pace. If needed, I can also crate your dog or give them their own space so they feel secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, going on walks, and giving playtime or snuggles depending on what the pet enjoys most. I keep their space tidy, safe, and stress-free so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.

We are so glad we came across Su! Before booking her services, we did a meet-and-greet, and Obi liked her from day one. Not only Obi, but all of our fur babies at home warmed up to her immediately. Su followed all of our instructions carefully, and what I appreciated most were the photo updates and regular check-ins while we were away. We are beyond happy with her service and truly can’t say enough great things about her. I was a little skeptical at first about trying the app, but I’m so glad I did. Obi absolutely fell in love with Su and already misses her. We definitely found our person, and we’re excited to book with her many more times in the future. Thank you so much, Suyoon!

  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
