“Sara is an animal whisperer. Look no further for peace of mind when you’re out of town. Her updates are perfect and your fur babies and home will be in excellent hands. We were nervous as Rover is mostly for dogs but Sara also has a cat. We couldn’t be happier with the love and care she gave our 20yr. old cat Murphy! She will be our 1st choice every time?. Thanks Sara!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with family pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, especially when away from their family. ❌ Cat services unavailable (allergies) As an online student, I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. I keep my availability updated, including time reserved for school and finals. Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow your care instructions, observe behavior closely, and send updates so you know they’re doing well. I’m best suited for dogs with routine care needs and cannot provide extensive medical or specialized care. If you have any questions, please reach out!
“Trinity took this job last second over the Holliday. She took great care of our dogs and would let us know if anything happened. Seeing the pics daily I could tell how much our dogs enjoyed having her there to watch them and spend time with them.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time every day and ensured my cat baby had food and water. She even checked her litter and cleaned up when my cat threw up. I was so pleased with her! She also left me a lovely card that I so much appreciated. I would definitely work with Heather again in the future.”
“Lauren definitely cares about our cat’s well being and communicates well. We are so grateful she is around to help. It’s nice to have someone we can trust with Leo. Thank you!”

About: *Use Promo Code: ALECS30986 for $20 off your first booking! Hello! We're Nikki and Alec and we recently relocated from Charlotte to Gastonia! We currently work from home and with the extra time we have we love exploring work with animals. Together we've had 3 dogs growing up and cared for them for 10+ years. This established our love for pets. We believe in having clear communication with you in order to establish the best way to care for your pets. No matter your needs your fur baby will be in good hands and treated as if they were our own. We're currently working from home so our schedule is very flexible. Weekends are also super flexible and I can be available whenever for you. :) We live in a house with a .8 acre lot so we have plenty of room for your dog or cat to explore! I’m available full time since working from home. We’ll go on plenty of walks throughout the day and with parents permission, enjoy lots of treats! We take our doodle on walks/runs 4 times a day so your fur baby will have the same amount of walks each day, unless told otherwise :)
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She was on time every single day, incredibly reliable, and took such great care of our dog Killian. She shared pictures and videos with us throughout her visits, which we loved, and she went above and beyond to make sure his water was full and send us pictures of it. After having a really bad experience with a previous sitter, that extra attention gave us such incredible peace of mind. She also made sure to spend time playing with him each evening, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. We truly can’t thank Hannah enough for the wonderful care she gave him. We look forward to having her watch him again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter!”
“Lindsey did a great job! She was reliable, trustworthy and our kitty loved her. She kept us posted with check in and check out times and always sent several photos of kitty eating or playing. We are definitely going to hire her again!”
About: Just a country girl who's helped care for everything from livestock, household pets, to feathered friends! I'm looking forward to meeting your pet! I currently work full time and have one day off during the week & weekend free. I'm free in the evenings after 5:30 on the week days. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks (if needed), and a safe, clean environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you're away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who has undergone back surgery, which has taught me the importance of patience, careful handling, medication routines, mobility considerations, and paying close attention to changes in behavior. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels and will always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and any special care they may need. I have a fenced yard and four dogs of my own who are friendly and accustomed to being around other dogs. I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in my home. I’m also comfortable using crates when needed and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions you provide.

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.
