“Lori did great as always and was able to cover holidays for me. I am so lucky to have her and the kitties are always glad to see her. Mittie watches out the window when she leaves.”
“We have had Tina do drop-in visits for our cat several times now. She’s great! My cat loves her and looks forward to seeing her. Tina is incredibly responsive and reliable, and she always sends a lot of pictures and videos, which I love to see :)”
“Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already plan my days around feeding, walking, and checking on animals. I make time in the morning, afternoon, and evening for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and updates for owners. I stay organized so every pet gets attention and care throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, fresh water, regular meals, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s rules for feeding schedules, crate time, or training. In a client’s home, I keep their pet in their normal routine. I walk them, give them food and water, play with them, and send updates so owners know their pet is safe and happy.
“Mya was absolutely amazing with my cat! She communicated with me throughout the entire stay, followed every instruction perfectly, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cares about animals and has such a kind heart. I could tell my cat was well cared for and in great hands. I would recommend Maya to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again, Mya—I truly appreciate everything you did!”
“I’m so glad we went with Lizeth! She dropped in and checked on our two cats while we were away for a weekend trip. It was a last minute ask, and she pulled through! Even coming the day before to meet our littles. She has 4 cats of her own and I could tell she was comfortable with ours. Would recommend working with her and would hire again. ☺️”
About: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 2 year old professionally trained black lab/German shepherd mix named Ziggy that weighs about 50 lbs. He has been raised around children in our neighborhood and is very well socialized. I've had dogs growing up my entire life and prior to my current dog, I rescued a black lab/pit bull mix that lived 15 wonderful years. I feel passionately that my dog is my family and I understand wanting to leave your baby in the care of someone who will take care of them like you do. I'm the go-to person for my friends when they need someone to watch their animals. I've had experience with boxers, rottweilers, yorkies, chihuahuas, (puppy and senior) and everything in between. After many years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's in Humanitarian Law. I'm currently on a break from studying because I need to make the money I need to finish my degree. My husband has recently retired and we have been enjoying spending our days with Ziggy in the interim. Taking care of animals allows me to work a flexible schedule and enjoy my time with my family before I go back to school. We frequently take Ziggy swimming, for hikes, and to play with his favorite toy (Chuck-It). Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Our days currently revolve around my husband and I's dog Ziggy. We typically work in our garden, are working on decluttering our house, and are enjoying trying new recipes. We take Ziggy to exercise for at least an hour every day (whether that's walking, swimming, or playing fetch). Our dog is part of our family - he is allowed on the furniture and has a large collection of well-loved toys. We typically work on maintenance training during exercise and meal times. Ziggy knows how to place, shake, sit, and lay down on command (most of the time). We use a gentle lead when walking Ziggy to avoid pulling. Ziggy can be a bit spoiled with his food and sometimes needs a treat in the mix to entice him to eat. In our neighborhood, my husband has known all our neighbors for over 20 years. We bought our home in 2019 to be close to those neighbors and to have a community. While we have a fence that closes off our front yard/street, we took down the fence separating us from our neighbors to encourage that sense of community. On a typical day, we will let Ziggy out in the backyard and look up to see him playing with the neighborhood children (around age 5) out in the backyard. My brother and best friend rent rooms in our house and also love Ziggy dearly. There is a 5 year old cat that is an indoor/outdoor cat. He mostly keeps to himself but is very comfortable around dogs. If watching a dog at your house, I'm comfortable with a long list of requests for care. I'm comfortable administering medication, following a special diet, and/or doing anything that's needed to follow your pet's routine and make them most comfortable. I'm happy to meet ahead of any pet sitting requests if you would like to meet me and introduce me to your pet ahead of your departure. I'm happy to send updates/pictures as often as needed. Although I have the list pretty much memorized, I do keep a list of all foods and essential oils that are toxic to dogs. I've been around a variety of dog personalities and don't mind being patient with dogs that may be more anxious or prone to separation anxiety.
About: Hi there! I’m a detail oriented nursing student who would love to care for your pets in my downtime. I have over a decade of personal experience navigating the chaotic energy of teething puppies and the delicate, specialized care required for senior dogs. I’m highly adaptable to your pets specific stage in life! As a nursing student, my schedule is rather structured, which means I can offer your dog predictable routine care. Here’s how: Early morning walks☀️: 5am-8/8:30am Perfect for a quick bathroom break and stretch before my classes. Midday Dropins: This varies based on my schedule for the week but can be arranged if possible Afternoon & Evening care 🌙: After 3pm Once my classes wrap for the day, I am wide open for long walks, hikes, park visits or dinner time feedings! I do offer house sitting if needed! I replicate your exact schedules so your pet feels zero disruptions. I understand the importance of routine, my two dogs are very prompt as well! Because I am a student, I often bring my study material along. This ensures your pet gets hours of focused companionship while I study. You also get the added peace of mind that a trusted, background checked nursing student is looking after your home.
About: I have a bernadoodle and LOVE her. Shes the best thing ever and I know walking is the highlight of her day, so I’d love to give other dogs that same attention. My uncle owns a rescue so I’ve always helped with lots of dogs. I currently am a photographer, and do some marketing part time so I have availability throughout my week to walk your dog! M-Wednesdays are my most free days, as well as any Thursdays I don’t have travel plans. I walk safely and on the sidewalk/trails or walking paths. I will always be prepared with whatever makes you comfortable whether that’s water, some treats etc. (Poop bags ofc)
“Audrey was very attentive to Jake’s needs & made us feel very comfortable and at ease with leaving Jake at home over the weekend. In-home visits twice per day are a much better option than boarding for our senior cat. Thank you so much, Audrey.”
“Kianna was so incredibly attentive and loving toward my dog, Gracie! I had complete trust in Kianna because of her professionalism. We met prior to her watching Gracie and discovered it was the perfect fit. Her updates were clear and informative, and I loved the pictures. Gracie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Kianna!”
“Nina was truly amazing. Roma can be picky with sitters and she warmed up to Nina really well. She was always on time and took Roma on great walks. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

Care for the pet would always fit int my schedule I have a pet bed and a crate for your dog. I make sure my Pittie is fed and has plenty of food water. I take her for walks and restroom breaks.

About: I’ve taken care of and cherished animals since childhood. There is nothing I love more than being a responsible pet owner and caretaker, making my own or other’s animals feel loved and special is what I do! I have taken care of a plethora of dog breeds, senior pups, and many cats as well. I will love yours like my own! I currently have my own pet that I care for daily, of course, but I am a graduate student and have a fairly open schedule, especially on weeknights and weekends. My cat lives the high life, as many of my friends and family would describe it. I care so deeply about animals of all varieties feeling safe, nurtured, and respected. I am also great with direction, so your standard of care for your pet will always be met and exceeded.
“Megan did a fantastic job. My kitties are very shy but she had them coming around after a few days. She was always on time and good about reporting back to me. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. I will use her again when I need someone to care for my kitties.”
“Payton was wonderful with our fur babies! She sent daily photo updates, followed every instruction, punctual and left the place spotless. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we got home. Highly recommend!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hornsby Bend
Soren always goes above and beyond when watching our cat (and cats when we had two). He is attentive to their needs and gives us updates on how they are doing. He notes any changes in their behavior and is willing to be flexible in finding the best way to make them comfortable. Soren has been our go-to sitter for a few years now and we always feel confident leaving pets in his care. He is responsive to messages, so if you have any issues/questions, or need to make changes to the booking, it's easy to hammer everything out quickly. My little diva of a cat has even warmed up to him, and that is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
Alyssa did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was out of town. She came punctually every day and fed and made sure their water was flowing. She also spent some time playing with them and I can tell they enjoyed the company by the photos she sent every day. Highly recommend! Planning to use her services again!
We’re so happy we found Poleth to take care of Lulu and Panda! She was so sweet and attentive with both of them, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable and loved. We had a few days without cell service and she was proactive in solving problems with the pups. We really appreciated all the updates and pictures while we were away. Seeing Lulu and Panda happy and having a good time made being away from them so much easier! 🥹❤️ We’ll definitely trust her with Lulu and Panda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter 🐾
Paula was exceptional. Her interaction with the dog was positive, productive, and healthy. Long walks were the norm, clear communication every visit, and great photos. It really did allow me to enjoy my time away, of course I still thought of my dog, but photos and the updates kept me very comfortable with the situation and it never once was I anxious or curious about what was happening. I had all the information I could want and when I got home my dog is hanging out on the couch just like when I left. I cannot give her a higher recommendation.
Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!

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.
