“THANK YOU SO MUCH KRYSTAL for taking care of Jackson (and watering my outside plants). I was able to relax on our trip knowing Jackson was in good hands. I hope you will come back and care for Jackson again sometime in the future! Luann & Ed”
“Shawna and her son were absolutely amazing!!! Super communicative, caring, and professional. Went above and beyond to provide the best care for my cat. My cat loved them! Couldn’t have asked for a better duo. Look forward to booking them again :).”
About: I have over 12 years of professional experience working with dogs, including shelter and rescue work, animal control, and managing a busy dog daycare and boarding facility. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and dogs that may need a little extra patience. I have extensive experience reading canine body language, managing safe dog interactions, following feeding and medication routines, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I’m used to planning my schedule around. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. As I take on part-time work, I’ll continue scheduling bookings around my work hours so every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and routine they need. I try to keep each pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their individual needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and secure. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and closely supervise interactions so every pet stays comfortable and happy.
About: My family and I were the caretakers for a nature preserve where we had our farm with many different animals some of which were pets and others were farm animals but all were loved and cared for! I believe this taught me how to care for any animal which led me to pet sitting a few years ago and i absolutely love it! I have a super flexible schedule and I’m always willing to work with your schedule to make sure the timing works great for you! Due to the fact i primarily clean and pet sit for work i always have lots of free time! No matter if I’m sitting in my home or yours your pet will get many walks, potty breaks, and lots of love! Plus you’ll receive plenty of pictures and videos to help ease the stress of leaving them behind!
“Bunnies are a handful to take care of, but Elena handled my sweet girl perfectly for 5 days! She was super professional, and even with our bunnies specific needs she was perfect and kept her on a feeding schedule and everything! Bunnies are super timid, but in every photo I could see Theo was calm and happy, especially when I picked her up! I'd recommend Elena to anyone, she's fantastic and truly cares about your pet, and will do all she can to make them happy and comfortable! Thank you so much Elena for making our trip worry free!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Hannah! I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs at home. I have had experience caring for small dogs as well as very large breeds. I have lots of experience pet sitting for many days ( even weeks) at a time. I have cared for every kind of dog from small and old with special needs to large and very playful requiring lots of exercise. I am a very active person and will gladly take your pup on runs and long walks if needed. I would be very grateful to spend some time with your pet and will care for them as if they are my own. I am available anytime throughout the week and I am also available weekends as well.
About: I have a strong background with a diverse range of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, livestock (big and small), alpacas... The list goes on! I grew up in a family of animal lovers and we never had a shortage of dogs in the house. I've been taking care of animals since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I currently run my own business for animal care, so animals are the very core of what I do for a living! I am available for all animal types, and take care of them like they're my own. I do in home care for clients. I currently do not offer the use of my own home for animal care. I do overnight, drop in visits, walking and extended day time visits.
About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to ensure the well-being of your beloved furry companions. From dogs and cats to small mammals, I've cared for a wide variety of pets with love and attention to detail. Whether it's providing nourishing meals, engaging in stimulating playtime, helping abandoned new born kitties, or simply offering comforting cuddles, I prioritize the individual needs and preferences of each animal in my care. With a passion for animals and a commitment to excellence, you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care for your furry family members, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Sunday-Monday I am available to do full time. Whether it’s in home, on a hike. I am more than pleasured to offer 24 hour supervision. Tuesday-Saturday, anytime after 6pm. I can do overnight but would have to leave the following morning for my main job. In my home, I ensure a safe and welcoming environment for pets entrusted to my care. This includes providing comfortable sleeping areas, access to fresh water and nutritious food, and ample opportunities for play and exercise. I tailor activities to suit each pet's personality and energy levels, whether it's interactive games, leisurely walks, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and surroundings to minimize stress and ensure continuity of care. This involves following feeding schedules, administering any necessary medications, and providing companionship and attention tailored to each pet's needs. I also take care of household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for in the owner's absence. Overall, whether in my home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet under my care, striving to create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive.

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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
