About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.
“Paige is a very nice person and so is her husband. From what I have experienced, she truly does love taking care of animals. My little lady took to her right away. I initially had hired Paige to house/pet sit for me but unfortunately had to cancel and she was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. I was also impressed with how prepared she was to ask all the right questions to prepare for the job. I have used her since and was nice to feel comfortable leaving my girl in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Jesika was SO amazing with our young puppy!!! She sent adorable pictures and a detailed report each visit. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. Thank you so much and look forward to booking you again!!”
“Kimberly did a great job cat-sitting for us. We have three cats, one of whom is usually very shy. Even that kitty came out to say hello during Kimberly's visits! Kimberly also helped around the house - including washing the dishes!”
About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician in a busy veterinary hospital. I work with dogs and cats of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My experience includes caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, nervous or anxious pets, and animals that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, assisting with post-operative care, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Through my work, I’ve gained extensive experience with safe animal handling, feeding, walking, basic grooming needs, and keeping pets comfortable in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I’m also currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I’m available for morning visits before 7 AM and evening visits around 7 PM. Wednesdays are completely open, so I’m available throughout the day. My Saturday schedule alternates every other week. On working Saturdays, I’m available before 7 AM and anytime after noon. On my Saturdays off, I have open availability. I’m also off every Sunday and available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over two years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand animal body language and always take a calm, patient approach, especially with nervous or shy pets. I’m experienced with safe handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and caring for a member of your family. I will always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Wendy has been sitting for us our cats for quite sometime now. The cats like her and she does a good job of giving one of our cats his daily medication. She also takes the time to play with them and send photos and a detailed report from each check in to show how everything is.”
“This was our first time to use Wendy and she is wonderful. She is so sweet with our cats. She sent several great pictures and went beyond to put our mail and packages on the porch. She's a keeper.”
About: I grew up helping take care of the family pets; we had cats, dogs, fish, & rabbits! I’ve always loved taking care of pets and will never say no to an opportunity to meet new ones :) I have experience taking care of: cats, dogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I have experience medicating, feeding, and basic grooming. I routinely check for potential hazards and remove them from the environment. I’m currently unemployed due to the turbulent job market, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets. When I’m not home taking care of my own animals, I’m out looking for work or a new place to volunteer. I’m always making sure there’s no choking hazards on my pets toys & making sure their water & food are always topped off. They always get extra love & brushing at the end of the day. (And maybe a couple extra treats if they’ve been good)
About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of pets my entire life, and have had both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats! I will love and care for your pets as my own. Pet care is already built into my daily routine, as I take care of my own three cats! I can easily work your pets routine into mine as well. I will love and care for your pets as my own! My household is not only animal friendly, my cats essentially run my household! They will be a part of our family.
“Mary was so great with my doggie! He had some accidents in his kennel while I was on a trip and she cleaned it up with no problem and even came by sooner and more often. She was extremely respectful with the house and left everything better than it was. She communicated every step of the way, sent pictures, and went above and beyond. I was so relieved knowing my pup was in good hands 😊”
“Ashlynn has been an absolute Godsend for my unexpected trip out of town. I felt comfortable knowing she has been coming in to check on my furbabies while allowing them to remain at home. She keeps me informed with pictures at every visit. I highly recommend her.”
About: i love dogs and especially my dogs i’ve always cared for them so much they’re my favorite animal and to be able to do this as a side hustle is a big blessing i currently work nights wednesday thursday and friday trying to save up for a new car and for school so i can finish paying off my classes i treat my dog how i would want mine to be treated i take her out every morning as soon as i wake up and make her food while she’s outside and usually take a little time to play with her outside
“Excellent and professional provider. My dog was happy and she followed the schedule. I will be using her again this was so convenient and allowed my elder dog to stay in his home where he is more comfortable.”
“Outstanding job on the drop ins. Met us ahead of time so we could show her the house and explain our preferences. She was on time and a really nice person. Great communication, took lots of pictures, and really knocked it out of the park. Can’t thank her enough.”
“Neysha did a wonderful job with our girls. She never got to see them as they are shy...however the food/water bowls were always full. Litter boxes always clean. Thank you so much for the peace of mind and your care.”
“Dana is wonderful with our pups. I have two senior boys and we are very happy we found her. Our dogs are like our kids and it’s comforting to know we have someone trustworthy and caring like her to check on them during our work hours.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillcrest
Stacey is great! She is extremely responsive and reliable. She was available last minute to care for my dogs when I had to go out of town. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals and knows how to interact and care for them. My dogs require some extra steps in their care routine and she made sure that everything was completed for them. We look forward to using her again soon!

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
