“April is phenomenal and highly recommended! She’s done a couple drop in visits for my girl and she is always super professional and sends great pics and updates. We will definitely continue using her.”
“Brandi was amazing! My booking was super last minute due to my cat getting sick and she was able to administer his meds and feed them while I was gone for the weekend. I trusted her with his health and with my home. She even cleaned their litter without me asking.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs. Ive turned aggressive dogs calm. Understanding your dog and its triggers are key. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. Lots of love and playful stimulation. I’m not just watching your dog, I’m creating a bond. Creating a safe space for your pup to be able to relax and have fun. Building trust with you is step 1. I am available anytime for your fur babies needs. I can handle up to 2 dogs at a time. Plenty of play time and potty breaks. I have an open yard. Not big but big enough to play. I use e collars to help direct playtime and to have control over them as needed. Dogs roam freely in the house when I am home. They go in crate if I am not. Multiple post breaks and plenty of playtime and healthy stimulation
“We used Rover a few times for our outdoor cat. We always request Akira. She is pleasant and friendly and professional. She absolutely loves animals. My cat can be shy always running and keeping safe distance. Starting first time meeting my pet. Akira began winning Koda over. First Koda was curious. I was so shocked...after last visit, my cat doesnt leave at all. my Akira always looking to make sure pet is fine. Sends pictures on every visit. Alway promot. I really appreciate the service Akira provides.”
“Bri was friendly and kind to our puppy. She (our puppy) is very young and required a lot of supervision. She provided great communication and excellent care. We would love to work with her again!”
“Kourtney was great! Our pup has a lot of anxiety and quirks which always makes me anxious when we leave. She was really great with leaving notes on how Mya was doing and that they were having a good time. I really appreciated these regular notes to feel good that they were doing well together!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and cats for 4 years now. I love and care for each animal as if they are my own because I know how important a pet is to their family. I also respect all the rules given by their owners and make sure I’m following exact instructions. I also volunteered on a farm for a while as a young child and grew up taking care of my family’s chickens so animal care is something that has always been a part of my life. I am just graduated from school and getting my priorities straight so I have a very flexible schedule. When I’m working other jobs, they’re in the evenings and in my control as for scheduling and time so if there are specific needs for your pets around certain times, I can accommodate. I pet sit and homes and follow all rules that are given for me. I treat your space and your pets space with full respect and make sure I take care of it even better than my own space.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies. I am a retired nurse and have experience giving dogs their medicine. Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.

About: With 15 wonderful years as a pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing personalized care, keeping your pet comfortable and happy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love— and that’s what I aim to provide! I am available with a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they are apart. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the pet’s normal routine and the owner’s specific instructions. I would provide fresh food and water, give medications if requested and properly instructed, take dogs for walks or provide indoor exercise, and spend quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and cared for. I would also clean up after the pet, maintain a safe and tidy environment, and give the owner regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I would treat the client’s home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own home.
About: I have taken care of several different types of dogs since I was 10 including three of my own. I have had the responsibility of feeding, watering, walking, and given medication to dogs when needed. I have had several puppies of my own and have also tended to senior dogs. I have had several neighbors repeatedly request my care because of my loving care and reliability. I am very understanding of every owners needs and want to give the best care to their pets. I would have mornings till 7:30 am and evenings after 6 pm to provide care to your pets. I would be available to provide care everyday including the weekends! I have three dogs that I keep in my home. They each have a crate and we have a doggie door for them to go in and out of throughout the day, but I have helped several neighbors and friends who don’t have the doggie door option so they asked me to let the dogs out in their fenced in area and implement walking when requested. I am capable of putting dogs in their crates and easily understand feeding instructions. I strive to make sure that each dog is taken care of in the best way.
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home. I am retired and available anytime for pet sitting, boarding or small/medium dog walking. I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
“This was our first time leaving one of our dogs behind while we went out of town, and trusting a stranger not only with your fur baby but also your home and possessions is--for me, at least--anxiety inducing. I'm so glad we found Nicole. She is trustworthy and responsible, but more importantly she is compassionate, kind, and a true animal lover. Our pitbull was loved on and happy, and our home was safe and secure under Nicole's care. I cannot recommend Nicole enough, especially for neurotic control freaks like myself.”
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)
“Lindsey was fantastic! She took such great care of my kitties. They hardly ever come out for anyone when I’m not home but they all came out to visit and play with her. She kept me updated and sent great pictures all along the way. Thanks so much, Lindsey! 🩵”
“We feel so lucky to find Tokena here on Rover, she's very sweet and warm. She took great care of our Blake and sent so many photos, that really helped us feel at ease even though we're far from home. She even took our package inside which is really nice of her. Will definitely recommend and rebook!❤️”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life and find a lot of joy in caring for them. I have experience with larger breeds but have enjoyed taking care of smaller breeds as well. Currently in the job market and have a lot of flexibility to help care and play for dogs. I have a wide range of availability and excited to help out with routines and play time. I’m diligent in following directions and keeping the dogs safe. I will make sure the dogs follow their routines while making sure they are having fun in a safe environment

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.
