About: I have pet-sat & walked the dogs of my friends & neighbors, from small to large, easier to more challenging. I have experience taking care of cats from kittens to seniors, & with administering medication. I also have personal & pet-sitting experience with smaller animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I am a college student, so during the week I am available at select times in between or after classes, and on Saturdays I am available all day. I do not board in my home, but in your home, I would be able to walk, feed, play with, & clean up after your pet.
“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“Ginny was very reliable and sweet. She was able to make my extra shy cat comfortable with her and spent time making him feel safe. She sent lots of pictures, too! Highly recommend!!! I felt at ease with her taking care of my cat while away.”
“Catherine was exactly what I was looking for while my family went on Vacation. She was quick to answer and very flexible when it comes to taking care of the animal and their needs. 5 stars will be using again.”
About: I work in a vet office as a vet tech and receptionist, I would love extra time caring for the animals i love and i’m able to handle medications and injections if needed! I currently work full time, but can easily do evenings or early mornings. i don’t work weekends, only saturday mornings until 12. Each day is different at work, some days ending at 1 some days 7pm. I am happy to work around timing to be able to care for your pup! I thoroughly enjoy a long walk with a companion, or keeping them company in their home. I have a lot of experience around large dogs so walking a bigger breed is no issue.
About: Your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to step away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need extra patience, steady structure, or just a calm companion. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every dog with the same love, vigilance, and gentle care I give my own. You’ll get clear communication and daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Because I have a flexible schedule with dedicated evening and weekend availability, pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it’s a central part of my day. Mornings & Daytime: I keep a predictable daily rhythm, allowing me to stick precisely to your dog’s established feeding, walking, and potbreak schedules without rushing. Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away. Dedicated Attention: Whether I’m visiting your home or providing house-sitting, your dog receives consistent, undivided care. I plan my routine around their needs to ensure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and low-stress downtime. In My Home: Friendly Companionship: I have two friendly dogs who love new playmates and a fully fenced-in yard for safe, outdoor play. Flexible Options: If your dog needs crate time for resting or sleeping, I can easily accommodate their usual routine. In Your Home & On Walks: Home Security: I treat your home with total respect—locking up securely, keeping spaces tidy, and following all house rules. Safe Walks: I use your preferred leash/harness setup, stick to secure routes, and monitor pavement conditions to protect sensitive paw pads. Strict Safety: I follow your specific feeding and treat instructions—no unapproved foods, ever. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and well-cared for!
About: Hello my name is Antonio. All my life I have been surrounded by cats and dogs. I love playing with animals and taking them out for long walks. Also, I am able to administer any oral medication or treatment needed for your furry friends!!! I am a middle school special education science teacher, so during the summer I am free. Mondays are my long days but other than that I am pretty much free any day of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, and I give them the proper care they deserve. I have a mini fenced in backyard but I may do walks around the block. I am able to provide separation during feedings, and any accommodations that are necessary for your loved one to feel happy and safe.
“Madison was beyond phenomenal!!! She made me feel at ease every step of the way. Her communication with me was exactly what I needed to make me feel at ease leaving my new rescue kitty in her care. I can not recommend her enough! Will definitely be using her for every trip I have. My cat loved her as well!! She is so kind and caring and took care of my baby like he was her own. If I could give her a million stars I would!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one! I grew up with four huskies throughout my lifetime, more recently a lab, and now I’m a cat mom. I love animals so much and feel strongly about loving and protecting them. I have experience caring for both young and older pets. I am also an active person and love to exercise myself and the dog! I work fully from home with occasional travel so I am always looking for ways to get outside and get some movement in. I am home most of the day/week besides the occasional errands and trip to the gym. Ample time for pet care and activities! When I am with your pet, they will be the number one priority! I will make sure they are safe, happy, and always fed/hydrated. Unlimited pets and good boy/girl at all times.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I currently work at a dog daycare, where I regularly handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and closely monitoring behavior to keep every dog safe and comfortable. I’ve also administered medications and given insulin shots to dogs, so I’m confident caring for pets with special needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for currently work part-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine. I work mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, which leaves me available in the afternoons and evenings on those days. I’m also available most weekends, and I’m working toward having an even more flexible schedule soon. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and consistency I prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. While I can offer care in my home when needed, I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments through my work at a dog daycare, and I always supervise interactions closely and follow each dog’s routine. I’m also comfortable with crating if needed and have experience administering medications, including injections

About: I had dogs all my life. I'm compassionate, energetic and patient. I am organized & committed to provide the best care possible. I'm confident that my qualifications & experience make me an excellent choice for the role of Dog Walker. I have many references. I work three days a week from 9-1:00 and I come straight home. I'm free on the weekends and also some holidays as well. I would walk your dog morning, after work and before bed time for (boarding). My home is very calming and lots of natural light. I only board one dog at time. As far as going to your home to walk your dog or feed the cats, I would be able to go in the afternoon and the evening. I'm very responsible to show up on time in the rain, snow and sleet . Please let me know if there are any behaviors I should be aware of. I would need to know if your pet has any special needs with medication. I would also like for you to write down everything I need to know regarding their daily rountine. I want the both of us to be able to trust each other and feel comfortable. I want to provide the best care for your dog. When boarding, I only board one at a time. Walks would be 3x a day. I do have a fenced in patio for your dog to relax.

I highly recommend Madison! She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets as if they were her own. My cats were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned home. I would absolutely book with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Howell stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
