“Enjoyed getting pictures and updates every day while we were out of town. June took lots of notes during our meet and greet and took great care in knowing our 3 kitties all have much different personalities. I was at ease our entire trip knowing June was dropping in to feed them and give them a little play time each day. We will definitely be using them for our future trips!”

“I never thought I could leave my dogs in the care of a stranger . I have 3 toy Aussies and one has severe separation anxiety. 10 minutes in our meet and greet Colt who does not like strangers begged for Hollys attention and brought a toy he rarely plays with . Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”

About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾

About: I have experience caring for both Huskies and Golden Retrievers, which has given me insight into different energy levels, personalities, and training styles. Huskies require structure and exercise, while Golden Retrievers are eager to please and highly social. Currently, I am raising a 9-week-old Golden Retriever, focusing on early training, socialization, and building healthy daily routines. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine and something I prioritize. Each day includes feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever who requires frequent attention and structure. I also make time for grooming, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. Overall, caring for my pets is naturally built into my schedule and balanced alongside my other responsibilities. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, clean, and structured environment where their needs are consistently met. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, ensuring they always have fresh water, and giving them daily exercise and playtime. I focus on training and positive reinforcement, especially with my 9-week-old Golden Retriever, to build good habits early. I also maintain grooming, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their health and behavior closely to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in back yard for free roam play.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, from Great Danes and Mastiffs, to chihuahuas and Teacup poodles. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior with special care requirements, I know how to meet them where they are—with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m confident handling medications, monitoring health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. And yes, I’m fluent in belly rubs, leash manners, and the art of a good treat toss. My training as a veterinary technician adds another layer of confidence and skill. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring subtle health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. Whether your dog needs special care or just a gentle presence while you're away, I offer both professional know-how and genuine affection. Im currently working part time from home, so I will have PLENTY of time to check in on your babies. I’m attuned to their moods, their health, and their quirks—whether it’s a sudden burst of zoomies or a subtle shift in appetite. Throughout the week, I build in time for deep-cleaning, play therapy, and medication routines when needed. I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.

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.
