About: I have lots of experience with dogs, and I am passionate about making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have two dogs at home, 4 and 7, whom I love very dearly. I regularly do dog walks and have experience with overnight stays for one or two dogs at a time. I’m comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. Although my schedule varies, pet care is something I truly prioritize. I often dog-sit and walk dogs during my free time, allowing me to be flexible while still providing attentive, loving care. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.
“I would definitely recommend Brianna for your pet care needs. She has excellent communication and provides photos at each visit. She is also dependable so one less worry while you are away.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with dogs and cats, and currently have a 4-year-old black cat named Mavis, who loves belly rubs, attention, and treats. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m happy to help with feeding and fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime and exercise, basic grooming, medications when appropriate, and lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away! I nanny part-time, so I have pretty open and flexible availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, walks, and longer visits. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own! I nanny part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and leaves me with plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to work pet sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits into my daily routine pretty easily. I also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life! I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection based on their personality and comfort level. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and am happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Nat provided peace of mind while we were out of town for a weekend away. It was comforting to know that someone was able to swing by our home and check on our two cats. She responded quickly to my inquiry and made sure to send photos along to us 😊”
“Lucy took great care of my cat Nami while I was away for 8 days. She had tried best to accompany her given the limited time, and made various attempts to play with her. She also sent many videos and long stories. She had been very prompt with our appointments. Thank you for the patience with Nami!”
“Danya helped taking care of my cat for four days and my cat is very happy about her visits. Danya was able to come visits three times per day for three days in a row, which is a big commitment that I originally didn’t expect any sitter could do. Not only did she come as scheduled, but also she actually spent time understanding and playing with my cat. I will definitely ask her to look after my cat again in the future.”
“I’m incredibly grateful to Deirdre for stepping in on such short notice to care for my 80 lb German Shepherd puppy. It was our first time using this service and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was warm, professional, and attentive to my dog’s needs. Her thoughtful updates and excellent communication instantly put me at ease. I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust, and I look forward to reaching out to her for future visits!”
“Auntie Trish has been a life saver for our family! She is accommodating, responsive and always happy to spend time with our pups. One of our dogs is reactive and can be super slow to take to new people and she was his best friend by the end of our first meeting. Highly recommend Tricia!!”
About: I don’t know life without furry friends! I was born into a family with two cats and a dog. Growing up, I took care of my own hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs. Since I was 12, I have taken care of my community members’ dogs of all sizes, cats of all temperaments, and small critters. The last 11 years, I’ve been primarily busy with grad school and taking care of my own 3 cats but recently my eldest crossed the rainbow bridge and I now work fully remotely, so have extra love and time to pour into your animals! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I can also administer medication. I work fully remotely, so have more flexibility to check in on your pets and walk your dogs! My weekends are generally free and I plan to be available over Thanksgiving and New Years. If I were to stay in your home to care for your dog, I would treat your home with the utmost respect and be able to keep the dog to his/her usual routine. I am comfortable with having your pup in my car if they like rides, need to go to the vet, or driven to a park. The same applies for kitty cats!
“We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️”

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 .

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.
