“Julie is so sweet and an amazing caregiver to our fur babies. She went above and beyond for our littles. She is extremely patient, and sincerely loves animals. She was very communicative and sent some great photos of our babies.”

About: My life has been rewarded through a menagerie of animals and detailed care, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents. A complete joy to be offered and shared. I can easily dedicate my days for any level of care, ranging from walks, playtime, feedings or long or short overnight stays. Adaptable and flexible. With my watchful and caring eye, your pet will receive a full companionship and bonding treatment from my enthusiastic service. I'm dedicated to all animals.
“Johana is amazing and communicative with us throughout the whole visit. This is the second time she’s dog sat for us and our dogs absolutely love her. She sends multiple photos and spends good time with our dogs. Thank you for everything!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 2 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, and senior animals that may require extra patience or special care. My experience includes overnight stays of up to two weeks, daily walks, feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. Pet owners often describe me as patient, trustworthy, communicative, and attentive to their pets’ needs. With my own reliable transportation and a genuine passion for animal care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have cared for over 10 pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I am fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I am committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation and always make sure pets are cared for safely, consistently, and with plenty of love. While I am unable to offer boarding in my own home, I take great pride in caring for pets in their familiar environment. When staying in a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I always follow household rules, feeding schedules, walking routines, and any training or discipline methods already in place so your pet experiences consistency while you’re away. I am clean, responsible, and non-disruptive, and I make it a priority to leave your home just as I found it. I am happy to clean up after myself, wash dishes, take out the trash, bring in mail, and help keep things tidy during my stay. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and owners, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and your home is being cared for responsibly.
About: Hello! I currently have 1 English bulldog. I used to have a Rottweiler, a Yorkshire terrier, and 2 pugs who recently passed (RIP). Recently, I’ve dog-sat an English bulldog (who had a laundry list of health issues and daily medications and needed to be walked at least three times a day) for about three weeks. I’ve also recently cat-sat for about a week! I also have experience dog-sitting a little French bulldog puppy. That being said, I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Additionally, I’m looking to gain more experience taking care of cats. I love all animals, and I love taking care of them. When your dogs come over, I’ll be taking care of them but so will the rest of my family. We’re obviously a dog family, so we will give them so much love and attention! We also have a big backyard and other friendly dogs for them to play with. I can’t wait to walk with your dogs! I just moved back home from New York City, and I miss all the walking so much. I’m not sure who’ll be more excited for walks—your dog or myself. I hope you choose me! Thanks anyway (: I’m currently a part-time intern at an environmental non-profit, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet! I’m also a morning person, so I can be up early if that’s what your pet prefers. I love being outdoors, so I’ll take your dog for as many walks as their little heart desires. I like to give your pets as much attention as possible, and play with and walk them as much as they’d like. I want them to feel comfortable with me, and I want to make sure I’m getting their activity and potty needs met!
About: I’m an animal lover with a spacious home and a big backyard, located in a great community with access to dog parks. I treat every pet like my own and have hands-on experience with my French Bulldog and mixed breed dog. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs whether it’s a senior needing extra care or a pup with a set routine. I’m comfortable with all breeds and always provide a loving, stress-free environment. I have plenty of time during both weekdays and weekends to give your pet the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m flexible and available to fit your schedule. In my home, pets have a calm and safe space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give each pet plenty of attention and affection to make sure they feel secure. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet stays happy and relaxed in their familiar environment

I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, will follow your care instructions exactly and if there are any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Although I’m a student, I currently have a lot of free time so taking care of your pet is something I look forward to doing! I’ve had plenty of experience with pets at home since I was very young and enjoy having a pets’ company! :) I’ll make sure that they have a comfortable and safe time.
About: I have experience working with puppies and many breeds. I will reinforce desirable behaviors through positive reinforcement. I have experience giving medication. I can take your pet to the vet for you. I have many years of experience working with animals at a veterinary hospital and animal shelter/rescue. I am available short or long term. I am available week days and weekends. Caring for pets is my vocation. I don’t have any schedule restrictions I have outdoor and indoor space according to your pet’s preferences. While outdoors, your pet will be supervised in an enclosed yard. I provide opportunity for water loving dogs to play in the pet pool. I provide “nose work” for those dogs that need mental activities.
“Anthony was amazing! He followed all of my detailed instructions for feeding, meds, eyedrops, and keeping things tidy. He is very detailed oriented and communicative. I received lots of pictures which kept me content. I will definitely use him again. 😁”

About: I absolutely love animals, not just my own. But all, & turned it into my job! Being around animals is a complete joy in my life. I’m a 20 year old with a part time job. I take pride into my jobs because not only is it my job, but I enjoy my jobs & they’re apart of my routine. I have a dog of my own. I got him when he was 2 months old and now he is 5 years old. I make sure he has everything he needs; food, water, extra like toys, sweaters when it’s cold, etc. I wake up with him & go to bed with him. I trained him everything he knows. My boy is my LIFE!
About: I don’t have issues with watching/walking more than one dog at a time. I’ve been pet sitting/house sitting for my friends/neighbor’s two dogs for the past 3 years. I have an 11 year old Shiba Inu who I love to death. Even though he can be a brat at time. My dog lives with my mom, so house sitting for you will not be an issue. I owned a cat for 10 years before he passed away. Other people in my neighborhood have relied on my to check in on their pets when needed. I’ve been around all types of breeds, big and small. Since I have a dog I know what pet care is like. - I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. - I have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages - I can watch multiple pets at a time. My repeat family had two dogs and a cat I work full time down in San Diego. But I work from home three days a week so I can walk/check in on your pets during those days of the week. I can make myself available on weekends too. I will follow the care routine of your pet. I will cater to their feeding and walking schedule. I have a car so I can take them to dog parks (if requested) and vet appointments.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. From feeding and walks to playtime and attention, I’m comfortable with all aspects of pet care. Being around animals has helped me understand their different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Pacific Union College. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and have open availability on weekends for overnight care. During overnight stays, I will focus on keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime and bedtime.

“I highly recommend Kiarrah! She watched our dog and cats during our recent vacation and did an outstanding job. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with animals. She even managed to administer daily medication to our difficult cat with ease. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Analise, a college student finishing up my last semester, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I especially love working with high energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. As a full-time student with college classes three days a week and a part-time job, I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I can fit pet care in between my other responsibilities. On my days off from college or work, I’m fully available for longer visits, walks, or extended care. On busier days, I still have time between classes or shifts for quick check-ins, feeding, or short walks. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make sure it fits smoothly into my weekly routine I’m very careful and always pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any specific instructions and routines closely, making sure the animal gets the right food, exercise, and attention. I’m also loving and playful, so pets not only feel looked after, they have fun too! I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I haven't done pet sitting for anyone except family and friends BUT I know that all animals deserve 24/7 attention and TLC. I have 6 dogs from small to large here with me and I treat them as if they were my own babies and I will treat your loving pet like I would do my own. I am home 24/7 now do to some issues but that only leaves me open to come and help take care of your pet when needed. I am single and no kids so I am able and open any time day or night. I love all kinds of animals (except bugs lol) I have taken care of fish, tortoise, dogs, cats, bearded dragon. I care for my pets with lots of love and attention. If for some reason I need to bring your pet home he/she/it will be well looked after and will have pet friendly dogs to play with and I also have crates for safety and fenced yard as well with 1acre of land to play in.

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.

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 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.
