“Aaliyah is such a caring person. Both our daig and cat just love her. She was on time each day and spent an hour as requested each morning. I would recommend her for your pet sitter!”
“Madison was amazing with our pet cat Milo. Her daily updates were thorough and she clearly loves animals very much. She made sure Milo was played with and fed each day and we came home to a happy cat. Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“"Meet and Greet" went very well! So thankful that I found her through Rover. She sent updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Will not hesitate to contact her again to become a repeat customer. Michelle H. was great!”
“If I could leave more than five stars I surely would!! Jeanne went above and beyond any expectations that we had. Our boy has diabetes and we haven't been able to go anywhere in a very long time. He is shy, but Jeanne won him over! She was able to give him insulin each day. She has a medical background and took care of him like he was her own! Not to mention, she went above and beyond and grabbed my packages and retrieved our mail. Everything went so well! Do not hesitate to use her for your needs. She's the cat whisperer!”
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I make communication and updates a priority. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m currently a ysu student commuting from home in the Austintown area. I work in home health care 2-4 times a week. I have lots of free time to care for your pets! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a clean and comfortable space. I also give pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me and always respect their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Nick is very professional and gets along so well with Rey! He gave time, attention, medications, and some great neck scratches to my senior/fresh from a TPLO girl. I could not recommend him more.”
About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a home with a fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size. I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so I am home a majority of the day and I am able to offer frequent potty breaks I have a fenced in back yard with no doggy neighbors. I am also home the majority of the day and am only gone for short periods of time.
About: Hello! I was a kennel supervisor at a daycare and boarding facility for years and have decided to branch off in hoping of having a following of my own! I am very skilled in all forms of care from medications (even insulin), special diets and just overall loving every dog I meet!! I would be available for whatever time slots you are wanting! I currently have an open schedule and should be able to accommodate your needs. I am able to come to any clients home and deliver a SAFE and KNOWLEDGABLE peace of mind. I worked with 100+ dogs a day with parents knowing I was the one overseeing their care!
About: I'm very good with all animals, I think it's because they can sense I care, or it could be because I spoil them who knows lol. All my pets are healthy and happy. Everyone and every pet that comes into my care is always treated like they are family. I will always follow the wishes of every pet owner because you know what's best for your fur baby. I will work with each client to figure out the best and safest way to care for there pet while making sure my pets are safe. If I am going to a clients home I will make sure to follow any directions given. The only thing I can't move around is I take a friend to work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 4 am and pick her up at 1pm but I'm available before, in-between, and after those times. I usually don't work on Sundays, it's our family day but if I'm needed I might be able to work something out. I follow any rules and directions given. I always do at least one meet and greet at your home so your pet will know I'm a friend and will trust me enough to take care of them and hopefully play with.
“Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!”
About: I have Two cats well about to be three cats I’ve had taken care of a bunch of fur babies and I love it much I have an open schedule I have no job right now i’m looking for a decent one indeed but I’ll pet sit until I do There’s a nice field to play with and i’m always active with the fur babies they’ll never be bored.

“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”
“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
About: Hi there! My name is Alicia! I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve started caring for others. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I am currently working from home full time, allowing me to have open availability and time to cater to your fur families needs & special requests. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent circumstances, it's sadly not the right time for me. I am fully vaccinated however feel free to let me know if you prefer me to wear a mask while in your home. While at your home, I will respect it and your dogs as my own. I am extremely tidy and organized. I will be attentive and loving! I will play, cuddle , walk your dogs as often as you prefer. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! PS. All animals you see on beds/furniture have mom and dads approval :)

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.
