“We had a wonderful meet and greet at the park! She was so kind, patient, and great with Alek. Alek was very comfortable with her right away, which made me feel so much better and gave me peace of mind about leaving him in her care. She was wonderful with him, and I can tell he will be in great hands. I’m very happy we found her! ❤️”

About: I’ve loved and been obsessed with animals of all different kinds for as long as I can remember. I grew up around lots of dogs and have always felt so at home with them. I also have experience with cats, goats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, you name it! I grew up going to camps with farm animals and had friends with llamas and horses and I always enjoyed helping them. As a kid I would take care of neighbors or my friends dogs or cats when they needed it. I have a very deep love for animals and being able to turn that passion into a job has been really special for me. I run my own business from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m happy to visit your pets whenever is best for you. I love taking pictures and will gladly send you video and picture updates! I love tending to each pets needs and finding what works best for them. Whether that’s playing and getting them really tired or providing them company, I want your pets to be as happy and comfortable as possible. I will treat your pet as if it were my own and hopefully I can provide you with some peace of mind while you’re away 😊 I’m available for early mornings, mid day, or evening visits. Weekdays and weekends. I have a very active life style and enjoy being outside. My love of animals and being outdoors go hand in hand and it works perfectly for me. I really love getting down and dirty and keeping your pet(s) happy and healthy I’m very adaptable to fit what works best for each pet parent. I can feed and replace water bowls, play, run around in the backyard with them, scoop poop, give medication, give love and pets, or simply just company. I can also work on training and go on walks

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.

About: Looking for someone who can give your fur baby all the attention they deserve? That’s me! I’m a full time pet sitter, so your furry family member is my top priority. From morning cuddles to playtime and walks, I make sure each day is full of love and care. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I raised two Labradors from puppies all the way to 17 and 18 years old, and I’ve also cared for many small dogs over the years. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel comfortable. After my own dogs passed, I realized how much I still wanted dogs to be part of my life. Caring for other people’s dogs has been a meaningful way for me to share that love again. ❤️ ⭐️As part of my commitment to supporting the Mirrormont community, 5% of all earnings from Mirrormont clients are donated to the community park in support of the Mirrormont Community Association (MCA). I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule as a full time pet sitter. Please feel free to reach out to check specific dates or times. 🐾 About My Daycare 🐾 Safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I focus on creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel relaxed and well cared for. To help maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care, I kindly ask that all pups be fully house trained. Thank you so much for your understanding. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and at ease during their time with me, whether they are here for daycare, boarding, or in-home care. ⸻ ⭐️ Daycare Policy⭐️ Daycare typically runs from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with up to 10 hours of care — but I’m happy to adjust the schedule to fit your needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pup. If you need a little extra time, extended care is available at $15 per additional hour. Please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. 🐈Since cats are often more comfortable in their own space, I generally do not offer daycare for cats. I’m always happy to provide in-home drop-in care, where your cat can remain relaxed in a familiar environment. ⸻ 🏡 Boarding Policy 🏡 When your pup stays overnight with me, they’ll be treated like family and enjoy a cozy, home-style environment. You can expect me to spend at least 20 hours a day with your pup — this includes overnight care, plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, and a calm, comforting presence at night. That said, I may step out briefly for personal errands like grocery shopping, meals, or other short outings, but your pup will never be left alone for extended periods. I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when I’m away. ⸻ 🚪 Pet Sitting Policy 🚪 When staying in your home, I promise to respect both your pets routine and your space with the utmost care. I will spend at least 20 hours a day in your home, always planning my schedule around your pup’s walks, meals, and comfort. Most importantly, I will stay overnight to keep your pups company they’ll never have to sleep alone. Their routine is my top priority, and I aim to make them feel calm, loved, and secure while you’re away. Before I leave, I will return your home to the way it was clean, tidy, and as if I was never there. ⸻ 💛 What You Can Expect I treat every fur baby like family and always follow their routine. Your pup will enjoy: • A safe, loving, and stress-free environment • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • Regular updates with photos and videos • Careful tracking of water intake and potty breaks to help monitor their health. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to welcoming your pup into my home and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way 🐶💕

About: Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience—whether it’s for training, medication, or just comfort. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re not only cared for, but also feel happy and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make time every day to give pets the love, attention, and routine they thrive on. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, love, and attention. I follow your instructions carefully—sticking to routines, respecting boundaries, and making sure pets feel secure. I build trust by showing up consistently, staying communicative, and treating every animal with patience and care, just like I would with my own.

This is our second time using Shannon for our cat Momo and she's the best. Tons of photos, great communication, and when a snow storm caused some damage at our house she let us know and even offered to help. Total peace of mind knowing Momo is in good hands. We will keep using Shannon!

I had such a great experience with Shannon as my sitter. She was very attentive with my cat Momo and made sure she got lots of love and playtime. Shannon sent updates and photos every visit, which really put me at ease while I was away. Momo can be shy but warmed up to her right away, that says a lot! I’ll absolutely book her 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 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.
