“Booked Katie last minute for a short trip out-of-town. Was not disappointed!! She left feedback and pics about every visit while at my house, as well as sending me a message that she was heading there. Did an excellent job taking care of my kitties. Very impressed with her! Will definitely use again.”
“Ingrid was EXCEPTIONAL! Right from the meet & greet start. She responded immediately, made it convenient for us, and was so in tune & caring. She didn't extend her stay, she took care of business, friendly & open. She truly went above her duties during her check-ins. She cleaned up after our 2 cats in ways I never asked for n when we got home everything I thought I'd have to do right away was done!!! Cats, even our bashful one, enjoyed her visits & attention so much.....they didn't seem mad at us when we got home. This was a first! Thank you Ingrid, and welcome to the family. You are a sweetheart”
“We reached to Corey looking for a sitter for our Sophie bug. He was quick to respond and schedule a meet and greet. We had a last minute trip out of town and Corey was more than willing to work us in to his schedule.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I've had dogs to horses. I love them as family just like I love my own children. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to put myself into a job in which I would love. I know I would love your animals as much I love mine. My dogs are very spoiled and very well taken care of and loved by all of my family. So I will show your pets the same love and care as I show my own
“Nola was great. She met my animals twice and they loved her (which was my determining factor). I've never left my animals with someone i did not know which has put a hindrance in any vacations, but she did a great job. My cat is diabetic and she gave him his shot twice a day w/o any issues. She checked in and sent us pictures and came home and the dogs & cats were happy. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jamie & Debra always do a fabulous job with our crew while we are away. Having people we trust to care for our furbabies is invaluable. Our animals love seeing them, and it’s so nice to return from being away knowing they will be happy and well cared for.”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.
“Brittany really cared for my pets. She went above and beyond and treated them as if they were her own. She even left me a hand written note about their treats. I will definitely use her again.”
“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 😊”
“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!”
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.
“Second time using Samantha and becoming a fast regular. She is amazing and yet again took such great care of our fur baby. She goes at his speed and has won us all over quickly with her kindness!”
About: Hi there! I’m Hunter, and I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong background in animal care, and I’m excited to be offering services here on Rover. I share my home with four dogs and one very spoiled cat, including two Standard Poodles, a Miniature American Shepherd, and a Whippet/Beagle mix—so I’m very comfortable with high-energy, intelligent, and higher-maintenance pets. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from small dogs to giant breeds, as well as horses, livestock, birds, and other exotics. I am licensed and insured as a registered pet care business under the name Your Pet Au Pair, which allows me to provide professional, reliable care while prioritizing safety and accountability. I also have experience working alongside animal rescues and assisting with the care and rehabilitation of animals who need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have been a constant in my life, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured walks, or attentive in-home care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to what works best for them. If you have any questions or would like to see if we’re a good fit, feel free to reach out here on Rover. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery!) family members 🐾 Being at home full-time allows me to commit extensive time to your precious pup(s). Whether they crave perpetual snuggling, prolonged fetch sessions, or lengthy walks, I am equipped to fulfill their requirements. I strongly believe that dogs deserve to be pampered. I can accommodate diverse feeding needs, except for raw feeding. My home provides various indoor and outdoor enrichment opportunities, including agility, automated fetch machines, wading pools, ball pits, snuffle mats, frozen lick mats, puzzle feeders, herding balls, and more. I offer essential provisions like bowls, kennels, and pens in multiple sizes, toys, and treats.
“We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.”
“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.

Scott was an excellent sitter. He took care of my babies and even though they were skittish, he took photos of the fresh food and water and notifies me off any changes. He also went above and beyond by doing little things like bringing in packages and watering my plants.

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.

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.
