“We are so glad we found Omi! She was absolutely amazing. This was the first time in a long time that we were able to go on vacation and truly not worry about our dogs. She sent us pictures, played with them, kept them happy, and gave us regular updates so we always knew they were doing well. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by someone who genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely be using Omi again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”


About: Hi! I’m a former paramedic who is currently working helping my family run our small business. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and caring for animals (and people) has always been a part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I’m able to provide care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with cats and dogs that may be shy, fearful, reactive, or considered less than friendly. I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, gentle care, medication support, or simply someone they can trust while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. I’m currently working with my family which allows me to have an extremely flexible and open schedule. Generally available from 8:30a.m-11p.m 7 days a week Long walks and backyard or park playtime. I am comfortable caring for pets with special medical and physical needs. I can provide basic grooming if needed for pets that will allow.
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
About: I’ve personally owned dogs, cats, exotic reptiles, birds, and small mammals, with experience caring for pets ranging from kittens to elderly dogs. I love my dog and cats like they’re my own children, and they mean the world to me. My love for animals led me to volunteer at an exotic animal rescue and work professionally as a Lab Manager, caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I give my own. I am compassionate, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m hoping to fill my late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings with caring for pets and helping families with whatever pet-care services they may need. I would prefer the pet / animal to be as comfortable as possible with little to no stress. So familiar environments for them is an important factor to consider.
“Teri took care of our two cats and did an excellent job. She followed all instructions and took the time to play with and engage with our cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She also cleaned up after the cats. Thank you, Teri and Rover!”

“Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: Ive cared for many pets in the past and rest assured I'll provide comfort and patience while caring for your pet and treat them as if they were my own. This has always been a passion of mine and I cant wait to help others. Your pet will be in good hands while you're gone. I try to work with caring for pets on my days off from work. It gives me a break from my usual routine and it’s always exciting to meet new pets and people ! I’ll be sure to follow the clients directions on caring for their pet and will do my best to provide the quality care they need while you’re gone!
About: Hi! I am a college student looking for opportunities to earn some money while doing what I enjoy most-hanging out with animals! I have sat for family, friends, and anyone else who needs help, and would love to be trusted enough to walk/sit/watch your dog. Being a student creates lots of flexibility, specifically mid afternoon to night! I also can do early mornings and weekends if they are planned ahead. Respecting animals space and reading body language is incredibly important when going into their home and walking them! Understanding what they are comfortable with and creating a safe environment is top priority. Lots of treats are required lol!
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, groom, and bathe their pets. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 8 years and have extensive experience with grooming, pet sitting, and managing a variety of temperaments and breeds. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or basic grooming, I'm here to help! I own my own dog grooming business, which means I spend my days surrounded by pups! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs midday care, companionship, or just some extra love, I’m here to help! For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air. I also have a spare room set up just for pups, giving them a comfortable, quiet space to relax when they’re not enjoying playtime inside the house. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once and make sure every pup gets individual attention, enrichment, and care in a calm, structured environment. When walking dogs in a client’s neighborhood, I always use a double leash system one with the pet's own leash and another with mine to ensure extra safety and prevent any chances of slipping out. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications or topical treatments if needed. Your dog’s well being, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. In addition to being a pet owner, I previously worked as an Animal Enforcement Officer. That experience gave me the opportunity to work with animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds while staying calm, observant, and compassionate in every situation. It also strengthened my ability to recognize animal behavior, prioritize safety, and handle pets with confidence and care. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a laid-back adult, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. I am currently night shift at the hospital so i only work 3 days a week! so plenty of time for your fur babies whenever needed ! I own a fenced in yard and have 2 amazing pups of my own. I do separate them on the opposite side of the house so nothing would ever happen!

“Brooke did such a great job! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful I found someone who was trustworthy while I was away from home. It’s obvious how much she cares about animals and will treat yours like her own. She even brought in my packages and took photos to share on every trip to my home. She happily checked in on the fishy and took the dogs for walks which is so appreciated!”

About: My pets are extra special to me. I treat them just like family. I love to spend time with my pets. Spend time playing and loving on them. I,m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet. My schedule is usually pretty flexible. If needed I will work with you on availability. I have a fenced yard that your dog can run around in with my dog. With how hot it gets outside I try not to keep my dog or my daughters dog outside for too long.

About: Most people know me as “B.J.” Short for Betty Jean. I love animals. I have had dogs & cats all my life. I have a rescue lab mix & who is my world. Also our feral rescue kitty. Only the best for them. I will take care of your fur baby as if they are my own. I am currently working an office job Monday-Friday but getting ready to retire from a 29 year career. I can do drop-ins & walks on the weekends for now. Starting next year I can do this full time. I’m so excited! I will follow the individual instructions you give me to take care of your pet. I will treat them with all the love & snuggles they want. I can do walks & drop in visits.
About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.
About: My morals represent a caring, loving, sentimental, responsible pet owner who has cared for friends and family members pets. I definitely care above and beyond. I currently express to show my love and care for others pets as I lost my 14 year old American Foxhound early this year. We were very active together enjoying hiking, dog park adventures, her first beach trip together and sharing our kindness with all who encountered us during our visits. Safety is my first priority for your loved pet. I make accommodations for their comfort and well being a huge priority, for me it's first.
About: I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — that’s why I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not “boarded animals.” I provide in-home pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and individualized attention. My home is designed to offer a calm, supervised environment where pets feel secure, understood, and comfortable throughout their stay. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in personal, rescue, and foster settings. I have worked with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, large breeds, and high-needs cases requiring rehabilitation, structure, and behavioral support. I also have extensive medical experience, including administering insulin for diabetic pets, subcutaneous fluids, oral and injectable medications, and specialized topical treatments. I am confident and gentle when caring for senior and medically complex pets. Fluent in English and Spanish, with additional working knowledge of Korean, I am able to clearly communicate and follow detailed care instructions from a wide range of pet owners.

Because I operate my pet care business from home, my daily schedule is fully centered around the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured routines, and timely attention throughout the day. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and rest periods to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care in a calm and stable environment. Safety and structure are a top priority in my home. My property is fully fenced with additional enclosed outdoor areas designed for safe, controlled activity suited to different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised in a calm, structured environment where their safety and comfort come first. This includes active oversight throughout the day to ensure each pet is secure, accounted for, and emotionally at ease. For the safety of all animals in my care, I do not accept reactive or aggressive dogs. Each pet is carefully screened through a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility and a safe, balanced environment. My own pets are professionally trained and well-socialized, contributing to a stable and peaceful home atmosphere.

About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.
About: I have 6 kids- 3 of those are dogs. I am very familiar with walking, feeding and the loving needed to keep them happy and healthy. I am available evenings and weekends and with advanced notice can have addl availability. Last minute availability also possible.. Feel free to ask. Holiday availability possible too. I do not board dogs and will not bring other dogs to my home. But i am willing to sit at your home and ensure your pet is safe and happy.
“emmie is the best! she’s my go-to gal, so reliable and communicative and she was so great with my cat. he’s a rescue and older, so a little shy around new people but immediately felt comfortable with her. highly recommend!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hawthorne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
