About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 including my own, families and friends as well. My passion is to take care of animals. I am currently online school and home most days out of the week, I would like to be able to take dogs on walks, have play time and just have a company with me as I work I have a good sized house which I let my pets run free, a fenced in backyard for plenty of potty time, and a nice neighborhood for many walks. I have space for a cage if needed but I do like them to roam around. I’ll be at home to feed them throughout the day, take them outside and cater to their needs.
About: I truly adore cats and dogs, and I love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to what your pet needs—whether it’s extra playtime, a calm presence, or just someone who treats them with the same love they’re used to at home. Your pets become a little part of my heart while they’re with me, and I’m committed to making them feel cared for every moment. Even with a full-time Monday–Friday job, caring for animals is something I naturally make room for—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I’m available in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or snuggle visits, and I’m always happy to stop by on my lunch break if a pet needs a little extra attention. Weekends and holidays are even more flexible for me, so I can give your pets plenty of time, love, and consistency. No matter how busy life gets, I make sure the animals I care for feel supported, safe, and looked after. No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I always try to make things feel calm, comforting, and familiar for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding times, their favorite walking route, or a special way they like to play or wind down. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and just the way you prefer. I give your pet plenty of attention, love, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was 15. I took care of my neighbors dogs across the street and spent the night and they were two pit bulls and a great dane. I love dogs, so don’t hesitate to call! I am currently in school at St. Edward’s University. I am on the baseball team as well. But I am in injured right now for this season. So i have a lot more free time. I can easily crate your dogs at your house if needed. Like at my house if my dog misbehaves i will send her to her crate for about 10-15 minutes. Whatever yall do when yall dogs get in trouble I can do the same thing.
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”

“Michelle is an absolutely amazing sitter. Mia is happy to see her each time she comes and treats her with warm and kindness. A true dog lover here. She definitely goes the extra mile!!”
“Nicole was very sweet and attentive to my kitties and all of my needs. She even came over before we went out of town to go over instructions and was concerned with making sure she had everything correct. She sent me pictures of my kitties while I was gone and even brought my packages in for me! I was very impressed with her cleanliness and even suggested I buy more litter before I left as she made sure their box was tidy. :) She was very friendly and easy to work with; I would definitely use her again!”

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 Helotes 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. 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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 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.
