“Sierra was so fantastic! She was kind, thorough, and so thoughtful in her care of my puppy. She gave detailed accounts of each visit and took a lot of pictures, which was much appreciated! She was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. She did everything that was asked of her, and my puppy adored her. I highly recommend Sierra to anyone who needs their pet cared for, she went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be return customers!”

About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
We had to make a last minute appointment with Sky, and we were so happy she could watch our pups. She was amazing with Cooper and Gracie and made sure they got outside and had all sorts of love. Having her there let us work without worry. Thanks for loving our pups like we do.
Sierra was so great with my cats - Oscar and Sydney - who are in different life stages, have different levels of activity, and want different affection and attention. Her communication from before the meet and greet, through each daily visits, and after the final visit was wonderful. The daily Rover update cards I received had full details of her visits and multiple pictures, so I never wondered how each cat was doing. We just moved to Excelsior Springs, and both my husband and I had to travel out of town for work unexpectedly. Sierra made the process of finding a new pet sitter a smooth process, and was very flexible with our short notice, accommodating a meet and greet in little time - making us feel comfortable that are cats were in good hands! Thank you, Sierra!

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.
