“Taylor was great! Our shy cat Carl slowly warmed up to her and by the end of the week was coming out for lovin's! Highly recommend Taylor and looking forward to future trips with her as our sitter.”

“We will definitely rebook with Shauna! She was on time and she was kind and respectful. We had zero issues!! She was great with our older dog who just doesn’t travel well with us anymore. This is our first time using Rover, and it was great knowing that our dog is well taken care of while we were out of town. Thanks Shauna! ❤️”
About: As a young kid, my family bred Saint Bernards. By all means, I am from a "dog family." I grew up walking, feeding, cleaning stalls, etc. dogs much larger than me. Eventually and gradually we would adopt several mixed-breed dogs and other strays who we loved just as much as our Saints. On top of this, however, I was also proud to be responsible for a beautiful, sassy cat, from a younger kitty to her golden years. Moreover, some friends and I spent time trapping feral cats in West Central Spokane, specifically around where we lived and worked, then taking them to PetSavers for spay/neutering, and working to rehome them. I enjoy "working" with all kinds of dogs and cats. This includes seniors, those with health conditions, or those who simply benefit from extra patience and extra attention. You may already see me walking dogs in Cheney and Airway Heights. I would be glad to get to know your pet family and learn what everyone likes best and wants most. I currently work as a "hand" maintaining a lower-maintenance property in the greater Spokane County. This arrangement is semi-formal and provides ample flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of your pet family. Each home and family is different, and expresses their love for the pet family in different ways. I am glad to meet your pet family where you are all at, and give us an opportunity to get to know each other. I talk low and slow by default, but can easily match the energy of your pet family. Dogs will enjoy their walks and time together and return a happy camper :-) Cats will have a dedicated eye on them and if your cat is a playful or affectionate type, their need to socialize will be met. I can usually coax most shy cats into some socializing or play time, and cats who are "protective" of one thing or another, and maybe not as friendly, still will also get ample care and attention.
About: My family and I have been around large breeds our whole lives. We’ve had two German Shepherds, Beauty and Beast, who have passed onto the rainbow bridge in 2020 and 2025. Our two kids have been around dogs of all breeds and are comfortable and respectful of furbabies. I’m a stay-at-home mom so I’m home all day so there will be many belly-rubs and lots of love and attention! Our fenced in yard has a lot of room for play and exploring! I will be the only adult responsible for caring and watching your pets. Let me know how best to care for your furbaby while you’re away, whether that is crate-training or walks, I will do what is best for you and your furbaby!
About: I’ve been fostering pets for SCRAPs for the past two years, but having those little squirts living at my house 2-3 weeks at a time was getting to be a bit much! I’m mostly interested in doing this so I can have more dog time with a little less responsibility, haha! My forever babies are a black cat named Jet and a border collie named Zo, both rescues. The kitten will pretty much stay out of the way of the dogs (she thinks she’s too good...hah!) but my dog is the friendliest girl. She’s high energy, so I’m quite used to long walks and games of fetch. If your dog seems tireless, I have plenty of experience there! If you have any questions, please let me know!
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She came over ahead of time for a walkthrough and performed drop in visits each day we were gone.”
“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”
“Jennifer is reliable and makes sure our cats are fed and played with every time she visits. We plan to continue to book her whenever we need help! Thanks Jennifer! (I am a Rover employee)”
About: Grew up with big dogs and 5 cats! Been the petsitter for my family and friends for years. I've looked after a litter of newborn mini Aussie puppies and have kept up dog training & routines while my sisters were traveling. From very energetic dogs to high-needs senior dogs--I've taken care of them all! I have no allergies, and mess doesn't bother me one bit. I normally teach English Composition at the local university, but I've got nothing to teach this summer! I'm writing a novel and would LOVE a reason to step away from the keyboard--dog walking, house sitting, playing. I'm very flexible. I am a very polite guest and follow written instructions to the letter. If I am housesitting, my goal is to always leave homes as I found them. Dishes done, trash taken out, floors swept, and plants watered!
About: I've been around dogs the majority of my adult life and have experience with dogs of all ages. I've tended to senior dogs, young pups, often dogsitting friends' dogs while they worked. I was a part of a pet sitting business for weddings. I have two senior dogs myself, so they have a soft spot in my heart, down to the pickiest of pill takers. While my old men can't enjoy as many walks, but you can bet I'll be taking yours on the strolls they need! Despite working during the week, I'm fairly free otherwise, leaving plenty of time for play. My dogs and I have a routine and they love being around other dogs, so there will be lots of playtime, attention, and care. Your pets would get gentle voices, cuddles, and two bonus friends to play with. They would be treated with extra care, patience, and love for I understand that new people can be overwhelming for any pet. My goal is to keep them as comfortable and loved during their experience with me to ease any of their anxieties with respect to their boundaries and comfort levels.
“Jenn was amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat alone, and I was so nervous. During the Meet & Greet, seeing how genuinely caring she was, and how well she interacted with him, put our minds at ease. She took excellent care of him, and we looked forward to her daily updates. She's definitely our top choice for pet sitting.”
About: Hi there! I have experience with all size and breeds/mixes of dogs as well as special needs and medical dogs. I also have experience caring and handling rabbits, cats, birds, and reptiles. I love them all. Through years of having animals, and through fostering and volunteering experiences, I have learned important handling skills for all types of animals. I offer dog-walking services and/or pet-sitting because I love interacting with them and ensuring that they meet their needs while their families are away. I am very mindful of surroundings and adhering to special instructions, schedules, and any special handling. I am available early in the mornings, around lunch, or in the evenings. I am happy to support and tailor around your needs and your pet’s needs. Ensuring your animal feels safe and comfortable in their environment is super important to me. I am happy to accommodate your pet(s) and follow their schedule.
“This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be using it again. Melissa was great. I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and that I didn’t have to worry.”
About: I have one senior dog who is very lazy and mellow. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I am home full time! I’m currently home full time, and I’m available for boarding in my home or drops ins at your home to check on your furry friends. My home is quiet, no children present, my dog is very very mellow, fully fenced yard and a park nearby, the streets have sidewalks for safe walking.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I really love animals. I don't work, so I can be around all the time as a regular to care for your pet, rather than having to use someone new all the time. I really enjoy being able to be around dogs. And the dogs have all had a good time with me :) I have three dogs at my house, and we have dog guests quite a lot. Some are older, and some I have had the pleasure of raising from puppies. I'm currently helping take care of a 13 year old dog. And I took care of a disabled dog who had paralysis in his hind legs, and I had to nurse back after spine surgery.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for about 10 years now. My neighbors and friends would always hire me to watch or walk their family pets! I currently have a pretty flexible job so I am flexible when it comes to weekdays, weekday evenings I am especially flexible! Weekends are pretty open for me too!! I grew up loving to take care of friends’ and neighbors animals, and our family pets! I will always make sure pets are taken care of and have what they need!

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
