“I would recommend Brooke to anyone! She is so great with my babies and always takes such great care of them! They both love her so much. Even my anxious baby Kya loves her! She is always the first person I go to when I need help with my babies.”
“Summer was awesome. She came by early to meet the dogs and learn our daily routine with the dogs. Our younger dog was a bit difficult, and she is very scared of new people. But Summer was very patient and worked hard to keep Skye with going outside to potty and to eat. Towards the end of the week Skye finally came around to Summer and they seemed very happy to see Summer come in the house, based on photos sent. Thank you for your help!!”
About: Ive taken care of many pets with specialized needs. This includes routine medicine and eye drops for the elderly, frequent belly band changes changes for those with bladder issues, and calming treats for those fearful of storms. Im quick to learn each dogs bathroom tells to avoid any unwanted accidents. I also have fishkeeping experience with 2 freshwater fish tanks at home. So if youre fish needs feeding or water quality checks I can handle that was well. I am currently working a part time internship with flexible hours, which allows me to care for furry babies in my free time! Weekends are typically busy, however with enough notice I can make them work. House rules are always respected, no matter how much a dog wants couch cuddles or if the cat likes the view from on top of the counter.
About: I have an immense love for pets, dogs especially! I have some experience being with family dogs and I have a 3 year old fur baby myself, who is a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise mix. I take note of dog's body language, when they are tense and whenever they are ready to play. I have experience on how I should help a dog in the case they have trouble breathing. I especially love to bond and play with dogs! I ensure that your dogs are going to safe and have the best experiences with me!🤗 I'm currently working part-time, so I would have plenty of time to be with your fur babies! I am typically free on the weekdays from Monday to Friday. The earliest I can do a scheduled appointment for around 8 hours. My time ranges from the earliest at 8am and the latest at 9pm. In my home, I get rid of any harmful items on the ground or in sight of my pet. I clean my pet's bowl daily. I make sure to keep them company. I never leave them unsupervised for long hours. For your pet I will adhere to any strict feeding or medicine routines and communicate quick updates.
About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.

About: I love animals especially dogs. I chose to dog sit because I love helping others and I know what it feels like to have to leave you pet behind or alone for extended hours. I would want to know that they are safe and in trustworthy hands and that's exactly how you should feel if your pet is left with me. They will be treated like family and nothing less. It should be a relaxing time for you to get a break away from the craziness but also for them to have some tail wagging fun! I’ve worked at a dog kennel for a two years and have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs I am a teacher so I work from 7-3, M-F. I can do anything around that schedule that you and I work out. I will care for every pet left with me as my own and how the owner asks for me to do so. Lots of love, respect, and understanding
About: I’m a pet parent to 4 dogs of various sizes and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have 13 years of experience working with pets of all ages, including seniors and special‑needs pets with clear instructions. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is 5 PM–10 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide treats with your approval, and I prefer traveling to your home so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. Baths can be given upon request. I do not trim nails or hair since I’m not certified for grooming. If your pet has special routines, medications, or accommodations, I’m more than willing to follow them. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time in the medical field. I’m able to provide weekend care and minor drop in and walks during the week day. I have several pets at home. If your pet does well around other animals I will be able to house them for a few days. I’m available for dog walking all weekend. Limited availability during the week.

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.
