“Outstanding Pet Care! I had an amazing experience with my pet sitter! She came to my home every day to take care of my ferrets, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of attention and compassion she showed. Not only did she handle their daily care perfectly, but she also made sure my ferret got her medication on time and with so much patience. It’s clear she truly loves animals—my ferrets warmed up to her quickly, and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She kept me updated, sent photos, and gave me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and knowledgeable, I highly recommend her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Yesenia was perfect with my little guy, hanging out 2 hours with him. She was good at giving him space and did not rush any interaction. We are sad that we moved in a different area, otherwise she would be our go-to sitter.”

“Awesome sitter!!! She really provided and ton of picture and messages about my dog while I was away. Very flexible and quick on response to messages. Would definitely recommend using her service’s.”

My dogs are super happy, and I will definitely be booking with him again!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs and cats since I was 3 years old, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! 🐾 Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family and friends, including traveling out of state to make sure their pets were well taken care of. I’ve also welcomed dogs into my own home while their families are away on business trips or vacations. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable! 🐶 recently transitioned out of the Navy and currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m available any day of the week and at almost any time! I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. Whether you need early-morning walks, daytime care, overnight stays, or last-minute help, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate. 🐾 My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away! My home is clean, comfortable, and completely pet-friendly! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and plenty of space to feel comfortable. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. There’s plenty of room for them to stretch their legs and have fun. Most importantly, I want every pet staying with me to feel right at home. They’re welcome to relax, play, cuddle, and settle into their own routine while they’re here.
About: About Me With 16 years of experience as a professional dog groomer, I specialize in delivering high-quality grooming services that combine skill, care, and attention to detail. My background as a veterinary technician has given me a deep understanding of animal health and behavior, ensuring each grooming session is both safe and stress-free. In addition to my pet care expertise, I bring years of babysitting experience, highlighting my commitment to providing compassionate, reliable care for both pets and families. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule – it’s built into my lifestyle.

In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, grooming care, and any special instructions from their owners. Safety and comfort come first, ensuring every pet feels at home while staying with me. In a Client’s Home: I respect the familiar environment that helps pets feel secure. I follow the same level of care—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and grooming—while keeping their routine consistent. I also maintain the home’s cleanliness and security to give owners peace of mind.
About: As a dog mom myself, I know the importance of leaving your most precious family member in good hands. You will enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of.

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.”

Mrs. Melida is excellent baby sister. She is so kind, lovely and responsible person. Never missing or late and we are 100% satisfied with her. We can take vacation without preoccupation because my babies are on so happy with her. Permanently, we are on communication. We are 100% sure; we are going to keep working with her. Thank you.

Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.

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.
