“This is our first time trying Rover, after being very disappointed by multiple dog kennel services. My dog is not animal friendly, but otherwise very social with people and has anxiety when away from home for too long. The choice was very easy when Gabrielle came up on the search options. She is a fantastic caretaker, follows instructions to a T, and Cherry and her bonded quickly. We can’t wait to start traveling more now that we have a trusted guardian for Cherry.”

“Mirella was awesome! She took excellent care of our kitties while we were away and kept us constantly updated! She even received packages for us and brought them in the house. She interacted with the kitties on each visit giving affection not just food! She was a delight to work with!”

“Brooke was amazing with my kitties, she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy while I was away. It was so nice to receive so many photos and updates. Thanks Brooke!”

“Paige was so wonderful. She took time with my fur babies, came to meet me, answered my questions quickly and definitely made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Paige and her services. She really cares, and made it obvious.”

“Josesiiah was so kind, attentive and caring for our dog. He was prompt and went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and ensure our pup was well cared for! We will be booking with him again”

About: I’m a very calm, gentle, and attentive caregiver, and I’m especially good with small dogs, senior pups, and shy or sensitive dogs who need someone patient and soft-spoken. My own dog, a sweet 15-lb Chiweenie mix, has taught me how to read body language, support anxious pups, and create a peaceful, predictable routine. I focus on drop-in visits because I want your dog to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the small details — feeding, medications, special routines, slow sniff-walks, favorite toys, emotional needs, and anything that helps your dog feel secure while you’re away. I’m also very communicative. You’ll get photos, updates, and quick responses, so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to give your dog gentle, loving care and give you peace of mind. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to make time for drop-in visits throughout the day. I already take my own small dog out regularly for walks, feeding, and attention, and I’m used to structuring my day around pet needs. It’s important to me that animals feel cared for and not rushed, so I plan visits in a way that allows for calm, unhurried attention and plenty of connection. Since I offer drop-in visits, my focus is on caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walk preferences, training cues, and any house rules you want maintained. I’m very mindful of safety: I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, stay alert on walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a calm, comforting presence. I treat your home with respect and leave everything exactly as I found it.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia! I work from home and I have my own 2 dogs, was raised with others, and have lived with cats in the past. I love taking care of all animals, even the not-so-fun parts. Both my dogs have their own special needs, so I understand that many dogs have different necessities and I’m happy to accommodate to them. I also absolutely love cats! I will work tirelessly to make sure you and your pet are satisfied! I absolutely love all animals and will do whatever it takes to keep their tail wagging and owner happy :) I work from home, so I have plenty of time to take pets on walks, clean up after them, play with them, or do house visits! I have a small fenced yard at my apartment. I also have experience with dogs with special needs, as I have two of my own. The most important parts of pet care are food, water, love, playtime, and medical needs if necessary, and I practice these on a daily basis with my own dogs.
“Jordan was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous at first, but Jordan went out of her way to make us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She offered to meet our dogs before we left, which really helped make us feel better and was so attentive and reliable throughout the entire stay. She was also super patient with our very energetic Labrador- she worked super well with her! She kept us updated with messages and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to walk our dogs and check in on them extra when she didn’t have to. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for any future pet-sitting needs and absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thank you Jordan!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters? No one has magic hands like I do! I truly believe I give the best scratches and belly rubs, and I think your pet would agree. Aside from that, I LOVE to play! I never want your pet to feel bored or ignored. I believe they should get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise so that when you come home after a long day of work, they’re happy, tired, and ready to relax with you. My goal is for your pet to be just as excited to see me again as I am to see them! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet more than once so I can build a genuine bond with them and become someone they feel comfortable and happy around. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve taken care of pets simply because I love animals and want to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five dogs when he’s away, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I hope you’ll give me the chance to show you that I can care for your pet just like they’re my own. I may be a new Rover sitter, but I’m ready to give your pet all the love, attention, playtime, and, of course, those magic scratches they deserve! I’m currently a full-time student at Texas State University, so I do have a busy schedule, but I take my bookings seriously and would never want to commit to something I couldn’t follow through with. I’m available for drop-ins and walks during the week, and on weekends I’m available all day. Because of my weekend availability, house sitting is my preferred service, since I can give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your schedule when I can and will always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home because my apartment is a little too small. However, I’m more than happy to house sit in your home! I’m very attentive to your pet’s routine, likes, dislikes, and any specific instructions you have for me. I want to make sure I’m providing care exactly the way you would want it. 🐕 Dog Walking Your dog’s safety is my top priority! If your dog isn’t comfortable around unfamiliar dogs, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs we come across on our walk. I’d rather give them plenty of space than risk an uncomfortable situation. Since we’ll be outside, I’ll also make sure your pup gets plenty of water and has a comfortable, safe walk. 🐾 Drop-Ins For drop in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is doing well, has everything they need, and gets plenty of love, attention, and, of course lots of scratches! I’ll also follow any feeding, bathroom, medication, or other instructions you leave for me.

“Brandy was absolutely wonderful with Mia! She took such great care of her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mia was in such loving and attentive hands. It’s clear Brandy truly cares about the pets she looks after, and that means everything to us. We’re so happy to have found such a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

I love all animals and treat every animal like my own. Animals are literally my life! I’ll treat your family member like I treat my own I work remotely and then I work only four days a week. I’m always home and have the time to watch animals. Perk of working from home Our pets are on schedule. They wake up usually at the same time the cats and dogs have their individual schedules and walks accordingly. Our cats are strictly indoor, but they have fun too.

About: I am a freshman at TXST and the hardest part about moving here was leaving my pets. I have 3 dogs back home: 2 goldens and a small mutt we got at the pound for my fifth birthday. I pet sit all the time when my parents & grandparents leave town. I’m currently balancing school and a part time job but my schedule stays exactly the same every week ( my job is only open very specific hours so i have the exact same shifts every week). This would be great if you plan to be a return customer because we could easily get a routine down. All of my pets have passed from old age so i think i’m doing a pretty good job keeping them alive! In all seriousness i will take care of your pets like they’re my own, i cry over animal shelter commercials.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works! Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.

About: Until I moved to start my MA, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my entire life with dogs of all ages and energy levels by my side. I’d love to show your companion some love and care while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week in the mornings and evenings and I’m available all day on the weekends. Between studying and teaching as I pursue my MA in archaeology at Texas State University, I often take breaks by gardening and hiking, and I would love to share the fresh air with a furry friend. Taking your companion out for a walk or playdate would make my day! I’m unable to own a pet at my current residence, but I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence or in a public space. I’m comfortable feeding/watering, bathroom needs, and spending time with pets indoors or outdoors.
“Nicole was absolutely amazing. My pets loved her and were so well taken care of. She was even able to keep my escape artist of a cat from escaping, despite his attempt. Thank you Nicole! I will definitely be a returning client.”

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

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.
