“Sandy was hired for a full week to do drop ins for my girl Kitty and she was there everyday and on time. She spend the full 30 minutes with Kitty, some days even a little longer. She made sure Kitty had all her food and water she needed and she gave her lots of lovin and even got Kitty to play (she never plays anymore). I will absolutely hire Sandy in the future”
“This is the 2nd time Sophia has watched my cat while I was away on a trip and she is phenomenal. She sends lots of pictures and specific updates. When I come home I can always tell my cat has been well cared for! I highly recommend booking her for your pet care needs 😊”
“I would highly recommend Katie's pet sitting services to anyone. Katie recently had the experience of doing once daily home visits to my home for my very anti-social cat Madi. Madi may not fully appreciate Katie's visits, but I do knowing that she is receiving fresh food and water. With a scoop of the litter box. Thank you again Katie, I will definitely book you for any future visits.”
“Corey has been a godsend for our new pup Chloe. We were worried about how she would do with a stranger bc she is very timid, but Corey proved to be a dog whisperer and she took right to him like he was part of her family. Can't express how lucky we were to find such a great guy that clearly loves animals..10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone.”
“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Lenetta is very caring and wonderful with cats. We came home from vacation to see two very happy and relaxed kitties because of her wonderful care. Lenetta is prompt and reliable and I highly recommend her services.”
“Megan was able to come early morning to make sure my oldest cat had her meds put into her morning food. All my cats were in their normal routine when I came home. Communication was good while I was gone letting me know what was going on.”
About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’ve also pet sat and walked dogs for my neighbors and friends for many years. I’m very reliable, always on time, and great at following detailed instructions, so your pet’s routine stays the same while you’re away. I truly care about how your animal is feeling and what they need, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I recently moved back home, and pet sitting is now my full-time focus! I’m active, dependable, and love spending time with animals. My priority is always your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness. With open availability, I can be flexible and accommodate your pet’s specific needs, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else their pet needs. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention and a chance to burn off some energy. While house sitting, I spend time with pets so they have company and don’t feel lonely while their owner is away. I truly want pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time I’m with them.
“Julie took my drop in request last minute even though she usually likes a few days in advance for certain bookings without hesitation. She was very receptive and professional when it came to the whole process. We didn't do a meet and greet due to time constraint but she trusted the info given was enough to follow through anyways and didn't steer her away from taking care of my dogs needs. Julie went above and beyond by sending pictures and keeping the status of all requests updated right on time. Family and I will be using Julie as much as she'll let us in the future, I recommend you do too! Ellie girl said she was happy to have met a new friend! Thank you!”
About: Just an all around animal lover! Patient, understanding and will lead with confidence so your dogs feel structured and safe. You can be at ease knowing that safety for your pet is my highest priority and I will treat them as my own! I work online from home and set my own schedule so I am available all week. I am available to walk your neighborhood, my neighborhood is great or I love to walk trails and beach :) I develop a relationship with each dog based on trust and an understanding of their individuality and personality. I allow dogs to be dogs within the realm of what is appropriate and they seem to appreciate my confident and casual style of leadership.
“Having Kathleen as my pet sitter has given me such peace of mind while I am away . Her communication skills are excellent: quick replies and good pet photos. I know my cat is well taken care of . Thanks Kathleen!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life and volunteered at a large shelter back in St. Louis for more than 10 yrs. I walked dogs, took them on enrichment trips, fostered them and helped at the shelter by just cleaning and doing laundry. I loved all the different dog personalities and tried to do anything that would make their life better. I would love to take care of dogs now that I'm retired and will also be volunteering at the local shelter here I'm retired and my dog recently passed so I'm craving dog time. With no dog i now have more time to dog walk I am available to dog sit or walk but live in a small rv so dog boarding might be tricky though I'm willing to try. I live in a dog friendly park that has a nice trail and isn't very crowded
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
About: Hi! My name is Shari Gill. I've been around dogs my entire life. Since age 18, I've taken in multiple rescue dogs and cats, many of which have been significantly abused and neglected. I am home full-time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I'm looking for a dog that needs love, attention, play time, and exercise as needed. I live in a rural area conducive for long walks. Additionally, I have a large fenced in yard for extra play and time to run. I'm available for dog walking, visits to your home, and/or one night boarding at my home. I am a mature, reliable, and flexible caregiver that will love your pet as if they were my own. If you think I may be a good match, please consider me for the position. I’m currently a substitute teacher and spend much of my time walking and caring for our two dogs and two cats. I have more love to give to your pet. I have experience in caring for dogs and cats in both my home and client homes. I’m able to assist with walks, feedings, medications, or just providing lots of attention!
About: I have experience looking after puppies, seniors, and even special needs dogs. I also have experience looking after cats and horses! I absolutely love animals and updating owners with photos, videos, texts, etc. I will love your best friend as if it was my own! I am taking an online class for school but other than that I have a lot of free time to look after your best friend! I am hoping to petsit as a part time job so if I get enough clients this will be my primary focus for the summer and during the school year if it works out. I will take care of your home and pet, as if it were my own. I clean up, spend time with them, and as soon as something seems off you will be getting a call from me. I take pride in doing the absolute best job I can.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Hernando 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.

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.
