“Jessica is awesome!! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our original plan fell through as we were leaving town. Our Mooshi had an upset stomach after we left and Jessica took very good care of her keeping us updated and even adding an extra visit to check on her.”

“Peyton, went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She brought in a package, changed her plans at the last minute due to my flight change and was very sweet in all of her feedback/photos helping me feel more comfortable while out of town. I highly recommend her and am very appreciative for all that she did to help me!”

About: I've always self designated myself as the animal person of my family. I always took on the duty of feeding, bathing and walking to spend more time with our pet ensuring they're at their healthiest. I'm available Mon.,Thu. and Fri. mornings and afternoons, Sun.,Tue and Wed. early mornings and afternoons. I look forward to keeping your pets happy with walks and play time, checking in and keeping them fed and watered. I have nearby parks great for walking dogs. I believe its essential to be aware of pet behavior and their triggers. It's also important to notice different pet personalities. It's good to tell if a dog is wanting a pet or a toy. Or if a cat is wanting some space or nap.

About: I have over 15 years experience caring for animals of all types, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm experienced with many breeds, small and large, as well as special need dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication orally or by injection. I currently have an 8 year old female boxer and a 4 year old male boxer- high energy dogs are my forte! All ages and energy levels are welcome! We love our boarding clients and I'm also more than happy to walk your dog as needed or drop in to your home during the day. I also offer doggy day care. Day care includes 10 hours of care beetween 7 am through 6 pm Sunday through Thursday and 8 am to 8 pm Friday and Saturday. Additional hours may be available at $5-$10 per hour. PLEASE NOTE: Any dogs I care for must be child friendly (no history of bites, aggression, etc). If your pet hasn't been around younger children, I require a meet and greet. My kids are very conscious regarding boundaries and have been taught there is zero tolerance for laying on, pulling, tugging, playing in food, etc. I work from home and split my time between Murfreesboro and Huntsville, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because my schedule between the two cities varies, please message me with your dates and location so I can confirm where I'll be. I typically know my schedule at least several days in advance, but I love to plan ahead, so the more notice, the better! Dates when I'm traveling or otherwise unavailable are blocked on my Rover calendar. Boarding and traditional in-home daycare are offered exclusively at my Murfreesboro home, where dogs have access to a large, fully fenced yard. In Huntsville, I primarily offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, with these services occasionally available in Murfreesboro as well. Daycare is also available in Huntsville for dogs who are a good fit for an apartment environment and comfortable sharing their space with one friendly, well-socialized resident dog. He does wonderfully with new dogs and is accustomed to sharing his space with four-legged visitors. Huntsville daycare includes frequent walks, plenty of attention and playtime, and supervised off-leash time in my apartment community's typically quiet dog park. Working from home allows me to build pet care naturally into my day, with frequent potty breaks, walks or outdoor time, play, and individual attention rather than relying on a set morning-and-evening routine. Dogs in my care have company and supervision for the majority of the day, but they should be comfortable being left safely for short periods of approximately 2–3 hours for errands or occasional outings. My goal is to make your dog's time with me feel as much like home as possible. I follow each pet parent's normal routine for feeding, sleeping, crating, exercise, and household rules whenever possible. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they're accustomed to at home—as long as their behavior allows—and I’m happy to reinforce the routines and expectations you've already established. In Murfreesboro, dogs stay in a home with two resident Boxers and a senior cat, who spends most of his time comfortably separated in his own space. The home sits on a fully fenced 10,000 sq. ft. lot with plenty of room for outdoor play. Dogs are never left outside unattended; outdoor and group play is actively supervised. I intentionally keep my groups manageable so I can closely supervise interactions, get to know each dog's personality, and give everyone plenty of individual attention. Safety is a priority when managing a multi-dog household, so all pets are fed separately to help prevent resource guarding. I also use gates, crates, and separate living spaces as needed for meals, rest, decompression, or simply when dogs need a break from one another. The Murfreesboro home allows me to maintain multiple separate groups when personalities, energy levels, or individual needs call for it. I require a meet & greet before accepting new dogs. This gives me a chance to learn your dog's personality, observe their comfort level and interactions, assess compatibility with the resident dogs, and make sure my environment is genuinely a good fit for their needs—not simply that everyone can tolerate one another. In Murfreesboro, initial introductions take place outside in the backyard before moving into the home. In Huntsville, dogs first meet in neutral territory at the apartment's dog park before sharing the indoor space. My Huntsville setup is smaller, so I'm more selective about which dogs are a good fit for that environment. Dogs still receive close supervision, and I have the ability to safely separate the resident dog and visiting dogs when anyone needs their own space. Whether your pet is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home, I follow the routine and household rules you provide rather than expecting them to adapt to an entirely new set of expectations. You'll also receive regular personalized updates, photos, and videos so you can see how they're doing while you're away. For everyone's safety, I don't accept pets with known aggression or intact dogs over 12 months old. Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, destructive behavior, escape attempts, resource guarding, or other behavioral concerns before booking. These behaviors don't necessarily mean your dog isn't a good fit—I simply need to know about them in advance so I can determine whether I can safely and comfortably meet their needs.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.

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.
