About: I’ve had animals since I was a child. Caring for pets has been a constant and there are always more pets to care for in life. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get more active during the day or have some diversification in my day. If you’re sitting in an office chair from 8 to 5 this can really be a highlight! I am clean/ tidy and can keep to whatever schedule you have already set up for your pet. I can sleep at your home or drop in.
“Kathe was absolutely wonderful while caring for my cats this past week she came every day and even added extra morning visits on two occasions which I really appreciated. She made sure they were well fed, had fresh water, and kept their litter robot clean and running perfectly. Their food, water and bathroom areas were spotless. She provided daily updates with notes and multiple pictures which gave me so much reassurance while I was away. She also took the time to do a complementary meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel even more comfortable. Most importantly, my cats loved her. She gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I’m truly so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. I will highly recommend her to everyone that I know! 💝”
“My fur babies love Kelly! She has pet sitted for me twice now, and both times, she was very conscientious and caring. Both of my girls are elderly with arthritis. This last time she watched them it iced and snowed. She made sure that they were moving around well with the cold. I love getting her updates and photos. They brighten up my trips.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and enjoy playing with and caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as needed. I don’t own a dog at present but that’s only because a couple of our cats are really particular :) I’m flexible most of the time and willing to prioritize the care of your pet and would enjoy the chance to befriend your dog or cat. I am often called a pet whisperer and am happy to spend whatever time necessary to build trust with your furry friends so that I can provide the care they need in your absence.
“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent photos every visit, and was very kind and understanding when I accidentally sent her on a wild goose chase to a wrong apartment on the other side of town. Will definitely hire her again! She was great with both of our kitties, and even cleaned the apartment a bit for us.”
“This was our first time to ever use Rover or anyone other than family to take care of our fur babies. Amber took great care and loved on them daily. She sent daily pics and communicated with us as well to ease our minds on our time away. We will definitely use Amber again! Highly recommend her to take care of your pets too!”
About: I've been around pets my whole life. When I was little, we had a mini labradoodle named Roxy and a cat named Snickers. I remember watching Cesar Millan and training Roxy to sit and to heel while walking. As I got older, we got more cats that ended up having kittens, and at one point we had 12 cats! Now, when I'm home from college, I help take care of two golden retrievers and a poodle that we have, as well as cats and chickens. I have a big heart for animals. I enjoy petting them, playing fetch with them, making sure they sleep well at night and feel loved. It would be an honor to meet you and take care of your pets! For the summer I'm currently studying for the MCAT which I take end of August. Because of that, my schedule is pretty free, and I don't have any job or school responsibilities to pull me away from giving pets the best care possible. I'm available to hang out with your pets while I'm studying, and make sure they have everything they need. Our poodle at home is getting old and has Cushing's disease, which makes her bones quite fragile. As such, I would prefer to watch your pets at your house. I'm happy to walk or play fetch with dogs, pet your animals, feed them and make sure they have water, and whatever else you do to keep them happy.
About: I am a stay at home mom. Our beloved dog cocoa passed away after 13 years with us. We have four children (9,7,5,3) they love helping me care for dogs we watch. They mostly help with giving lots of love and hugs. We have been helping folks through Rover for over a year and enjoy having many repeat dog watching requests. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. Your pet would have many loving arms to be loved with. Our family loves caring for pets. We plan on owning a pet of our own in the future. I have a fenced-in large yard to accommodate for outdoor time and close to dog park for walking. I feel comfortable around larger dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable.
About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog
About: Caring for animals is more than a job to me, it's something I genuinely love! I provide pet care and house sitting full-time, allowing me to offer reliable, flexible, and personalized attention.

Pet care is my full-time focus, so my schedule is flexible and built around the needs of the animals I care for! I'm typically available 7 days a week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I enjoy spending my days with animals and make it a priority to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a consistent daily routine or occasional care while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule. My place features a secure, fenced in backyard and easy indoor access, ensuring your furry friends have plenty of space to play and relax. With constant supervision, and a pet friendly environment, your pets will feel right at home while you are away.
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I’m able to be flexible based on each pet’s needs and routine. I enjoy having pets as part of my day and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and always follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“Was very punctual and respectful. Always great with response time and did so in a professional way. Was great with my cats and would highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I reside in my house in Ooltewah TN. I work from home for Cummins Inc, I have worked for them for a decade. Former Marine. Grew up with a choc lab and a dachshund. Had two pitbulls in recent years. Helped a neighbor with their dog who needed insulin shots after eating for a year. I can handle large/strong dogs and/or dogs with behavioral issues. I’m available to house sit for the weekend or perhaps a drop in to hang out with your pup(s) for a while. I’m working full time during the week. And I exercise often as well. But on weekends I do not have much going on and would like to provide service for your weekend away and tend to your pups and give my time to them for their comfort. Some dogs require more attention than others, but all dogs need connection and exercise while maintaining a comfortable environment for them they can fit in, like a pack.
About: My name is Hailey and I’ve been pet sitting as long as I can remember. I’ve been in the animal care field for 7 years starting as a doggy daycare attendant and now working as a veterinary technician. My life purpose is caring for animals and treating them with nothing but love and kindness. I’m extremely comfortable helping even the most nervous babies! I am animal CPR certified and medically trained to help care for medically complex kiddos! I'm currently working four days a week with weekends off. I love planning dog friendly activities for the weekend for my own dogs and would love to bring your furry friends along. We have scheduled enrichment time with endless kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, toys and more! I have one dog of my own who is absolutely amazing with other dogs. We spend a lot of time outside as well as playing mentally stimulating games throughout the day.

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.
