“Clara was prompt, professional and caring with our two dogs. We appreciated her communication and photos when we were gone. It was comforting to know she taking good care of our girls when we were visiting with family.”
“Love Brenda and so do my cats! Third time I’ve contracted Brenda and she has been professional, friendly and timely on all occasions. Looking forward to working with her again in future!”
“Camila was great! We reached out last minute to set up a drop in visit for our golden retriever, Carson, and she was super quick to respond and set up a quick meet and greet later that same day. She took great care of our Carson, provided updates and pictures during their walk. We will definitely reach out to Camila next time we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs all my life,I have multiple cats and dogs and even have exotic pet experience, I have been working at a credited boarding facility and have experience administering meds and caring for special needs pets I’m currently working full time my upcoming schedule will me Monday-Friday 12-8, and weekends 5-7 on Saturdays, Sundays 10-4,I don’t work far during the days so I’m close by as needed I have experience in proper animal handling, and medication administration I’m also trained on emergency situations and know of the ER vets in the area, my communication is my top priority next to your fur babies happiness
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Ty was amazing with my two cats! I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a pet sitter. My cats warmed up to Ty so quickly and I could tell Ty really cared for them and it put my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Fern is awesome. I work shift work so I can be gone 24-48 hours at a time. She has been there last minute for my two German shepherds. Communicates clearly and my dogs love spending time with her. She’s awesome!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.

I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special routines, and I always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part-time as a virtual therapist, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and personalized care. I make sure every pet receives the time, care, and updates they deserve while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Clara! Clara was absolutely wonderful with my babies, Venus and Urus! ❤️🐾 It means so much to have someone I can trust to care for them while I’m traveling. She took great care of my fur babies, and I truly appreciate her kindness, love, and attention to their needs. Finding someone you feel comfortable leaving your babies with is priceless, and I’m so grateful we found Clara! I’ll be traveling again in November and may need her services. We’re still trying to figure everything out, including whether the babies will be traveling with us. If they don’t come along, I would absolutely love for Clara to care for them again! 🐶💕 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and trustworthy to look after their fur babies! ❤️
Heather has been such a great help to us whenever we're out of town. We have two high-energy dogs who are always comfortable with her. She's wonderful with both our dogs and our cats, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing they're in good hands while we're away. We're very grateful to have her as our petsitter.
Shavedra took great care of our kitties! She sent daily updates and pictures. We didn't realize we were low on dry food, but she let us know in time for us to order delivery. We highly recommend her and will be asking her to sit for us in the future. Thank you, Shavedra!
Gabby was so kind and truly attentive with my dogs. She listened carefully to everything I shared about them and made me feel at ease right away. She responded quickly, arranged a meet‑up the day before, and was flexible with her time. My dogs took to her immediately, which says a lot. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with them.
Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!

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.
