“Shayn went above and beyond for us for an overnight visit while we were away. She took such great care of our doodles and communicated with us every step of the way! She even stayed later than originally booked and fed them dinner and took them out one more time so they wouldn’t be alone for too long before we returned. We will definitely be relying on her for future sitting needs!”
“Jacob was amazing with both of our pups! We received daily updates and he even worked out a marvelous plan to accommodate the pups! We for sure will be using him again in the future!”
“We decided to go out of town for the day/night very last minute and Kelseys was able to squeeze us into her schedule and we are so thankful! Her communication was amazing and we loved seeing the pictures of our babies. Definitely recommended!”
About: I’ve always had a furry best friend growing up! I learned early on about body language & dog psychology through experience & YouTube videos on training/research. Currently going through a life switch and would love to dedicate my time to your pups! Rather it’s walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I’m here for it all! We care for safety and patients. My 2 dogs are above the age of 8 & very experienced with other dogs. I can teach your dog the basic start up of sit, lay-down, stay, crate trained, and walking skills.
“A lengthy stay at my home and all went well! The girls are happy and healthy and Alex was great at communicating. She handled their needs flawlessly and seemed totally respectful of the place. Even handled tons of mail and packages coming in. Grateful to find her!”
“Hannah watches our two babies on a consistent basis and always does an amazing job. Shes extremely reliable and makes sure to keep us updated with how our boys are doing. Highly recommended.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I adore my pets and any dog/cat I meet. I love taking my dog on a walk and making sure she’s bathed frequently. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency with feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks. I understand how important routine is for animals, so I make sure their needs are met on time every day. I also plan ahead and arrive early to ensure I have enough time to get them settled, give them attention, and stick to their regular schedule without rushing. Whether in my own home or a client’s, I care for pets by following a consistent routine to each animal’s specific needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, and providing regular bathroom breaks.
About: Hey there! My name is Abbie and all 4 years of high school, I was enrolled in the vet program. I worked at a dog groomer/bakery in high school as well. I cared for the dogs, helped the groomers when needed and watched the dogs up front when the owner requested. I also have worked at a dog and cat boarder/daycare. Every morning I would take them outside to the bathroom and let them run around. I fed them on schedule and gave meds as well. In the daycare section, I did the same as well as play with them outside. I would also give them pool time upon the owners request in the summer. For the kitties, I would feed them and give meds. I also would have playtime with them. I have had multiple dogs and cats growing up and took on the responsibilities from a young age. My favorite part was taking them on walks/playtime. I am a huge animal person and would love to be trusted with your furry baby's! I have open availability! My work schedule allows me to work around YOUR needs. I am very flexible so I’m able to accommodate to anything needed! I have a friendly kitty to keep your baby/babies company. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and love. I am always around so they will never be left alone!
About: With over five years of professional experience working in dog training, boarding, and grooming facilities, I have developed a strong understanding of canine care and behavior. I have also volunteered extensively with animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs and cats from a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and learning their unique personality, routines, and preferences. I believe that by providing personalized care I can help your pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Throughout my life, I have cared for and pet sat a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, birds, and reptiles. I am comfortable caring for animals with different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and provide them with reliable, loving care! As a stay at home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. My husband is currently stationed at Dyess, so we’re still fairly new to the area and I’m excited to get to know the community and meet some new furry friends along the way! I’m currently taking online classes, which gives me the flexibility to plan my days around pet sitting visits, walks, playtime, and whatever care your pets need. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since we already have two dogs of our own, we are currently at our home’s pet limit and unfortunately aren’t able to accommodate overnight stays for additional pets. I would be more than happy to provide drop in visits and care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra companionship and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.
About: Hi there, I’m Sara! I have one senior dog myself, so I understand the importance of having someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I run my own small business, so I’m available to help any time of day. I don’t like to leave my pup for too long, so I can insure yours wouldn’t be either. I have a small design and alterations business, so I have the ability to help really anytime of the day. My schedule is very flexible. I’d be happy to help watch your pup at my house or check in at your place. Safety is most important to me, so I would want us both to feel comfortable.
“Diana was absolutely amazing. She was very responsive and gave me updates throughout her time with Zuli. She took great care of Zuli and I would highly recommend Diana! Traveling can be stressful when you leave furry friends behind but she gave me peace of mind and I know my pup was in good hands! I will be using her again in the future!”
About: I worked at a dog boarding center for a year. As well as taking care of family and friends animals before. I feel like I’ve had a way with animals since I was younger, even without trying animals seem to attract to me. I work a full-time job from 3pm- 11:30pm. I haven’t had too many worries with it interfering with dog sitting. Normally, I just feed the dogs a little early let them out to use the restroom and everything and then after work I take them on walks and get their energy out before we head to sleep. In my home, my pets get fed once a day but they’re on a pretty strict diet so we feed them lots of fresh meat and vitamins. They have a backyard to run free in and are constantly getting attention from me. I currently have four dogs and back home with my parents I have one dog and a cat.
About: Once your pet is in my care they’re officially part of the family. I’m talking walks, playtime, cuddles, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and plenty of pictures so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing.

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Impact walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Impact maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Impact choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
