“Logan was amazing - he came and met our dogs the day before and was very sweet with them (even though they are lunatics)! He then came to watch the dogs and left us a great detailed message about what he did with them and sent us tons of pictures. For people who are not in the area like us, we were hesitant, but he was excellent as an alternative to leaving our dogs for long hours. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and work in an animal care-based career! From agricultural animals, to pets, to wildlife, I’ve cared for all types of animals! I have wildlife rehabilitation certifications and am comfortable with animals of all energy levels, sizes, and health statuses. I currently work full time Wednesday-Saturday 7-4. I can care for your pet on work days in the afternoons. And on my days off I can visit multiple times! I am a very active person and have been an athlete my whole life. I can give your animal as long or as short of a walk/outdoor time as they need! I love to lay out in the yard, explore new hiking trails, and play fetch to get energy out! I will accommodate all of your animals’ needs and I am a very big cuddler too!
About: Ever since I was little I have had an overwhelming love for all animals. No matter where I go I am constantly pointing out an animal, asking its owner more about them, and stopping to pet them! I have grown up with/had dogs my entire life. I have also been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. During these years I have cared for many animals with different personalities and needs. My own dogs are definitely quirky and I understand that every dog is different and deserves personalized care. I also provide daily medications for my dogs, so I am very used to following specific routines and comfortable giving pets the extra care they may need. I will always treat your animals with love and patience, while, of course, giving them lots and lots of attention. Animals are family! My daily schedule is flexible because I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree online, while allows me to build my schoolwork around a consistent routine. Being that I have plenty of flexibility throughout my day, this provides ample time for dog walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. In every environment, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I really enjoy learning about dogs and am constantly researching their behaviors and body language. I believe understanding how a dog communicates is such an important part in taking care of them. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and individual cues so I can better understand how they are feeling and make them comfortable around me. My dogs in my own home are truly part of the family and are very spoiled and pampered. I make sure they receive lots of attention, love, and enrichment, and I take their comfort and happiness very seriously. Caring for my own pets, for my whole life, has taught me how important it is to notice the little things and truly understand animals. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would my own. I am always mindful of keeping any doors and gates secure, providing plenty of supervision and attention, and making sure each pet gets the exercise, interaction, and care they need. My goal is for every pet I take care of to feel just as loved, comfortable, and well cared for as the animals in my own home.
“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Lillie is incredibly communicative and always sends the most thoughtful, funny, and sweet updates — which means so much when you’re away and missing your kitties! She gives them tons of love, playtime, and attention. She’s also really attentive and quick to notice any changes in behavior or eating/drinking habits, which we really appreciate. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in Lillie’s care!”
“Worked with me to help rehab one dog with leg i jury. She was able to walk healthy dog to be sure his fitness didn’t slide as his sister heals. Truly wonderful & responsive to our dogs.”
About: Growing up in the countryside in France, I have had pets since I was a little child. From dogs, and cats, to bunnies, turtles, chickens, and goldfish, I have taken care of different kinds of animals throughout my life. And I love it! Having animals around brings joy in my life but also in the life of my husband and my children. My husband had even more pets than me. I could almost say that he was born in a manger with animals around ;) He had many dogs, cats, sheep, and even a parrot growing up. At one point, when he was a teenager he had about 10 dogs, and 5 cats. Since we got married we have moved a lot. While living in St Maarten we had 2 cats and a turtle, and when we moved to Guyana, we had 4 dogs (without counting taking care of the 8 dogs and 1 cat from my husband's parents house). We also trained our dogs to sit and wait before eating. Our children love pets and are very caring. We came back to the US a few years ago and we have been around pets frequently from our friends house. We would love to have a dog and a cat but we like to go away as a family from time to time, and therefore we decided that we would care for other people's animals. I am a work-at-home and homeschooling mom, and my husband has his own marketing company with plenty of flexibility. We are therefore available to accommodate pets at our home for a few days to several weeks. We also have plenty of yard space to walk dogs, and a good space in our house so that any pet can find comfort. I am very flexible. I am home most of the time and my husband has a flexible schedule as well. We can accommodate pets for a few days to several weeks. We are also open to going to people's places and checking on their pets, feeding them, and walking them if needed. We usually do pet boarding which means that people bring their pets by us, but we have also done pet sitting and have gone to other people's places to care for their pets. Due to our experience and our love for animals, it is so natural for us to care for them by playing with them, feeding them at appropriate times, cleaning them if needed, hugging them if they are comfortable, even giving medication if needed, and making sure they are safe and happy overall.
About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.

“Emily has been is an amazing and reliable sitter for us. Excellent communication and care, we felt very good knowing she was watching over our girl. Would definitely recommend her to care for your pets like they were her own.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me.

I would love to care for and love your animals like my own! I am working per-diem starting in october. My schedule is changing but if you just reach out i'd be happy to share that with you! I am super flexible and can help you with anything! My dogs are very dog friendly and loving to almost all other dogs. They are very socialized to other dogs and cats. I can walk your dog, let them out, or you can drop them off at my house for daycare or meet me to exchange them as well! If your dog isn't dog friendly I would be happy to keep them separate and comfortable! I have a fence for the dogs to run around and play. I also have ties outs for the dogs as well. We live in a wooded neighborhood on a dirt road that is super quiet!
About: I have assisted with the care of dogs of varying size. Bathing, feeding, walking. As a pet owner myself, we can all use assistance at times. I’m currently off of college for the summer and looking for opportunities to walk dogs for my enrichment as well as theirs. I have time every morning well into the afternoon as I work night shift. I have an apartment with two adventurous, excited pups of my own. A golden retriever, one year old. A chocolate lab, 3 years old. They love to make new friends. Am able to keep animals for the day if informed ahead of time.
About: Hi there! I’m Heather, and what sets me apart from other dog sitters is the level of compassionate, personalized care I provide. With years of experience caring for all types of animals, I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention they deserve. I’m here to make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve also fostered kittens, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet homes and understand the importance of adapting to each animal’s unique personality and routine. Your pets won’t just be looked after—they’ll be treated like family. My work schedule is on Monday-Friday from 830-430. However, accommodations can be made if necessary. I am completely free and around on Saturdays and Sundays. I cannot care for pets in my home because I have pets of my own and other household members, but I am available to care for pets at the clients home.

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 .

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.
