“Madison is a reliable, flexible, dedicated and communicative pet sitter who obviously loves animals. She follows directions, frequently checks in with pictures and updates and just makes you feel like your pet is in great hands. I was really lucky to come across Madison's profile and would highly recommend her to anyone who shares my anxiety about leaving others to watch our furry friends. She's also just a really sweet person and a joy to work with.”
About: When I’m caring for someone’s dog, their family member, I make sure that I treat them as if they were my own. Lots of love and affection! It’s important to me that they not only get the physical care they need but also the emotional care. Developing a relationship and gaining trust with each dog is key. I enjoy bonding with each dog I care for. Their unique personalities are so fun to get to know and be around. I love the connections I’ve made with each pup! I have open availability. I currently reside with a 145lb English Mastiff senior and a 15lb terrier mix. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have no problem administering medication if needed. I would love to care for your dog!
About: I have 2 beagles, 1 Belgian malinois, and 2 cats. I have always had a passion for animals. I am the family go too for pet sitting, especially for my mom and her 5 dogs. MUST BE DOG, CAT, AND KID FRIENDLY! I am a stay at home military wife and mom, so I have all of the time in the world to watch your fur babies and pay great attention to them. I have a backyard with plenty of toys and have 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I also have a dog room and a gated area if separation is needed😁
About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!
“It was my first time leaving my 2 cats. Cats were fed separately, played with and taken care of. When I came home the house was in as good as shape as when I left it. Instructions were followed (and I had lots of instructions!). My cats were both clearly very happy. Jill was responsive and communicative of both good news and problems. Jill was really flexible: we were able to come to an arrangement that didn't fit nicely into the Rover app's scheduling. I would trust Jill to take care of my cats again, and I would recommend her to others as well.”
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.

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.
