“We look forward to having Lorraine as our regular go-to vacation sitter for our kitties! They typically hide when new people come to the house, yet they quickly opened up to Lorraine and she was very tuned into their personalities. She went above and beyond with her drop-in visits. The kitties were so content when we came home, as though we had never left! Lorraine even brought in our humming bird feeders when a fluke sub-freezing storm rolled in during our late May trip. Thanks again Lorraine!”

“Kimberli was an absolute angel with our little pup. We were just passing through town and a little apprehensive to leave him with a new person. She suggested an early meet and greet so we got coffee in the afternoon before leaving our dog with her for our dinner and their walk around the park. It was immediately clear that she's a loving dog person and well equipped to handle your pup too. Can't recommend her enough.”

About: I believe great pet care is about more than feeding, walks, and letting dogs outside—it’s about making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their person is away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very tuned in to an animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different: some need lots of activity and play, while others are happiest with a calm presence, a familiar routine, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets at different stages of life, from energetic younger animals who need consistency and positive reinforcement to senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, and closer attention. I take routines and owner instructions seriously and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is with someone who will truly pay attention to them—not simply “check in” and move on. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can work around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and care routine. I know how important consistency is when you’re away, so I do my best to keep your pet’s routine familiar and comfortable. I also make sure visits don’t feel rushed—whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, affection, or simply some calm companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they need. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in the environment they already know and feel most comfortable in. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other specific care instructions. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety, and I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and privacy. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, giving them affection and interaction when they want it while respecting their space when they need it. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect while you’re away.

About: I spent my last two years of high school volunteering my weekends at the humane society. I had spent every Sunday there playing with the centers animals making sure that they are happy and healthy. I am currently a student at MSU and with the summer coming up I am looking for some ways to fill my time during the days. I am a person with a very flexible schedule and if need be can stick to a consistent routine. I am a very adventurous person so if your pup likes going on big walks/hikes I am more than capable of keeping up with them as well as going on a good run through town. As active as I can be the same can be said for more laid back dogs. I am very easy-going.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs. I’m very active and love taking dogs for walks or runs- they’ll be in great hands. Pets bring so much energy and joy into the world- I look forward to getting to know your furry friend. I’m currently substitute teaching so my afternoons and evenings are free. Unfortunately I’m not able to be at home with your pets during the day when house sitting as I work about 7.5-8 hours. I’m frequently active after work and would be happy to take your dog on a walk or run ( or xc skiing as winter approaches). I approach all pets with love & respect. I respect pet owners wishes around treats given and staying on leash. I give pets my undivided attention when I’m with them.

About: Hi! I've been taking care of animals since I could walk. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for years before going to nursing school. I was also a kennel assistant for a busy veterinary practice in California. I am excited to provide care for your pets in your home or mine! I work part time with very flexible hours. I am able to devote much of my day to taking care of pets whenever you need. I have a fenced in yard in Tampa with 2 friendly golden doodles who love to socialize and play with other dogs. Dogs will be taken out 9ften with fresh water at all times. I'm currently working part time, flexible hours which gives me plenty of time and energy to take very good care of your animals. Dogs are taken out in the yard and on neighborhood walks. I have a securely fenced yard with two friendly doodles. I supervise the dogs closely and keep dogs separated as needed. Your dogs are in good hands!

About: Hello! I've been dogsitting since I was in college and have a wide range of experiences. From taking care of a single small senior dog to four active working breeds, I'm ready to love your furry friends! I'm currently going back to school to hopefully one day become a veterinarian. I'm taking classes part time at MSU to get ready to apply to vet school! That means that Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll need to be out of the house from 12:30-5:30. Other than that I'll be with your pets all the time! I'll make sure to put your pets as my top priority! I understand the stress of leaving my pets with other people, so I hope to ease that for you.

About: Hi all! I am originally from Bozeman and grew up with dogs- I enjoy going for walks and going to dog parks as well as just cuddling on the couch! I am a full time employee at the hospital and can easily do drop in walks or visits and will only accept jobs where I can meet the level of care your pet needs. I treat pets like a part of my family- since I am a renter I am unable to board animals at my house but would follow any guidelines set up by a client to make their pet feel like they are with family.

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.

About: Hi! My name is Sam and I’m looking to get back into dog care and pet sitting. Sadly, I lost my dog back in August due to old age and am missing having animals in my house! Currently my roomate has a dog who is super sweet, but I would love to watch after your dog! I have many years of experience with cats and dogs between dog sitting, fostering, and much more. I work up at the mountain on the days I put not available. But I am available for early morning or late night walks those days! I’m currently working four days a week so that leaves me for three days to spend with your pet. I’m available for early morning walking or late evenings! I have a huge fenced in yard that is puppy proof! I also have gates covering any areas that wouldn’t be safe for dogs to get into. And if your dog is shy and wants her own space I have a downstairs apartment that they can hang out in away from my roommates pup!

About: I have had high energy dogs mostly heelers and love to take them outside for adventures. It helps me bond with them and teach them to be social. I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.

About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life. I have experience taking care of animals with special needs, including those with medications, partial paralysis, hyperactive tendencies, senior animals and babies, both dogs and cats. Safety is a priority for me - I will always triple check harnesses and leashes and make sure that gates and doors are properly latched and locked. Your pet will always be treated with kindness and respect, and, with your permission, I will also offer extra treats to spoil your furry family member when I check in on them or take them for walks. I will often have weekend availability but sometimes weekday mornings as well (namely, Tuesday and Thursday mornings). Fridays I will be available on a rotating basis. I will carefully follow all client instructions to ensure that their pets are safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Animals will always be treated with kindness and respect, and they will receive lots and lots of pets when under my care. For dog-walking services, I routinely re-check leash attachment and recommend puppy parents use harnesses to reduce choking possibilities from pulling against collars. I encourage play and snuggles (though there may be more of one than another depending on the temperament of each pet).

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.
