“Corra was great! She checked in on my cat and made sure she had everything she needed while I was away. She played with her and sent me the cutest pictures! I would rebook with Corra again.”
About: I've cared for dogs of all types of sizes every since I was a young kid. I've owned dogs as big as mastiffs and as small as pugs, my family is also in the AKC world of being renowned Bluetick Coon hound breeders and I've personally worked with all those puppies since their birth and currently working in scent training my own hound. I am currently working part time to save up for college so I can keep doing my dream job as a athletic trainer! I also want to get better at pet care so when i have my own dog in my own place I have 5 dogs thst are super friendly and love to meet new friends and they have all been crate trained so if your pup doesn't love others that's okay they have their own separate room
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially dogs, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, so I’m comfortable with basic training, routines, and lots of patience during those early stages. Back home, my family has a Great Pyrenees, a pit bull mix, and a beagle mix, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love being around animals. Since I’m away at college and can’t have my own pet, I put that energy into giving every dog I watch as much attention, care, and affection as possible. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m a full-time student-athlete on the swim team, but I’m currently in my off-season. Most of my practices are early in the morning, which leaves me with flexible free time throughout the day. I’m very used to managing a busy schedule, so I’m reliable and happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I like to follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. If you provide a list of instructions or preferences, I will stick to them and keep you updated along the way. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet elsewhere, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to create a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away, and to keep you informed with updates so you have peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! My old dog had diabetes so I am comfortable with administering medication for animals. I am very flexible with my time and hours as well so please reach out! I have a part time job on the weekdays that gets out after 10 as well as school, but my weekends are free so I am always able to dog sit Friday-Sunday! I will follow any bounties and rules for my clients home to a T and will make your animals my first priority! I want to create a safe and loving environment for your animals while I am taking care of them!
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our “problem child” Murphy! He’s very protective of us and is weary of new people. Stephanie took the time to come by for four nights before we left so she could spend time getting to know Murphy so he was comfortable while we were gone. He ended up loving Stephanie and giving her lots of cuddles! We will definitely be calling on her to take care of Murphy again!”

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.
