I have a very flexible schedule and available weekdays and weekends I have a very large, fenced backyard and a fun and friendly little guy Bingo who loves to play, sunbathe and go on walks daily
“Very communicative, sent text/photo updates which accommodated me being in/out of phone service. Made sure cats got attention along w/ basic needs at each visit. Highly recommend! Our babies love Victoria & she’s our sitter of choice!”
“Sierra did an amazing job of watching our fur babies while we were away. She eased our anxieties and sent us updates when she would check in. Sierra was patient with our pups and we couldn’t have asked for things to go any smoother. We will definitely be rebooking with Sierra anytime we need a pet sitter.”
About: I work at a doggy daycare! I work with all different size dogs and I also have three animals of my own! I love animals soo much and will love them just like you do! I work Monday through Friday, I can do early morning before 745am and evenings after 7pm. I have weekends free. So I can do drops in anytime of day. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have someone to hang out with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and getting lots of love.
About: I would be the perfect cat sitter because I believe every cat is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever! I’ve always had a preference towards cats since I was a little girl. I too have strong boundaries, make people earn my love, and hate loud noises! Please consider me when looking for a cat sitter. I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes. I am currently an owner of two larger dogs and looking to take care of yours as one of my own. Whether it's walking, house sitting, boarding, etc... I'll be able to help your furry friend wherever I can. I work full time but still leave my afternoons and weekends free for rover. I work full time but I still make time to walk, play and feed my girls. I am available on weekends and during the week after 5. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog inside and/or out if needed. They'll go for a walk, play and be fed daily and treated with love as if they were my own
“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I grew up with a shih tzu that I absolutely ADORED and fell in love with pit bulls in college (my roommate had one). I’m looking for some extra cash on my off days of work! I play my work schedule day by day so I would love to get out of the house and be around some puppy dogs on my off days :) I treat every animal as my own! I’m a huge dog lover and admire the bond between dogs and humans. Every animal deserves a protector in the same way they protect us.
About: I love dogs and owning 2 has inspired me to work with more. I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized institution. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and a professional understanding of canine behavior. My certification and skills will ensure your dog is in good hands. I am available 7 days a week because I own 2 dogs of my own and I also work from home. Availability may vary during holidays. For boarding and daycare clients must be crate trained to ensure the safety of everyone. Facilities include an outdoor run that is turfed and equipped with showers to keep clean and a misting fan system for hot days, along with an assortment of chew toys and snacks and elevated beds. All clients sleep indoors in an air conditioned room.
About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.
About: I’ve been volunteering with animals since I was 11 years old and now work at a no-kill animal rescue, where my main focus is the health, safety, and happiness of every animal. I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable administering medications and providing specialized care when needed. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease while your fur baby is in my care. I treat every pet like my own and always go above and beyond for their safety and comfort. I’m currently available part-time as I’m also a student, but I’d love to work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs! My main job is at a nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue where my primary focus is the wellness and happiness of our animals. I care for dogs and cats of all ages and provide whatever medical care and basic necessities they need. Outside of my main job, I also have established weekly clients through Rover and have built great relationships with both the pets and their owners. Pet care is already a regular part of my weekly routine, and I enjoy being able to provide reliable and loving care for the animals I work with. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding, medications, exercise, and daily needs. I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing.

Giving them the love and comfort and individualized care they deserve period. I have had up to 11 different types of cats in my home at a time. I also would feed and take care of the feral cats as well. If they would get sick I took them to the vet and would take care of them. Some could go back out side a few need to have inside care for they rest of there life. I have a very flexible schedule since I'm a real estate agent. Which is an independent contractor I have plenty of time during the day and at evening to take care of your fur babies and make sure that they're healthy and happy. I have 5 cats at home. They are all seniors, Persians, very well taken care of and spoiled. They have the run of the house. They have their own room which is the sunroom that I had rebuilt for them. With lots of light but yeah, cool enough in the summer and warm enough in the winter for them. And my brother also helps play with them. And take care of them.

I’m a reliable, patient dog lover who enjoys helping dogs get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve while you’re busy. Whether your pup loves long walks, gentle strolls, or a quick potty break, I am here to help keep your dog happy and healthy.
“Our first time booking Audra for drop ins on our 2 dogs. She was prompt with her visits and our dogs have special food needs and medications that she accommodated. Will def book again”
“Belinda cared so lovingly for my cat. I usually feel worried about leaving her home alone. This time I didn’t feel like that because I knew she was in good hands and getting excellent care during my trip. I would definitely book with Belinda again.”
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.

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.
