“Jenny does a wonderful job caring for our puppies. She comes everyday to feed them lunch, let them outside, and play with them. She’s communicative and friendly. We are very thankful for her care and time.”

“Jordan was fantastic! All of our fur babies adored her! We have a shy juvenile cat that rarely takes to anyone and was very comfortable with Jordan! Jordan made sure each out our three girls were well taken care of and given individual playtime and snuggles. Jordan kept us updated and was easy to communicate with prior to and during our trip. We will definitely rebook Jordan for future travel plans!”

“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”


About: Loving family of 5 ready to spoil your precious ones! I am a stay at home mom of three wonderful kids (19, 16, 10) who love animals. We live in a great, safe neighborhood with lots of great walking. We have a fully fenced yard and just enough room to roam. I am excited to offer our services as a host for your loved ones. We look forward to working with you! Why I love dog sitting We currently have 1, almost 4 yr old male Cavapoo, named Harley. He has been part of our family since he was 10 weeks old. He gets very excited when visitors come and is always curious and friendly. At first he is a bit uneasy around other dogs, but quickly gets acquainted and usually just keeps to himself. About my yard Our yard is a rectangular shape with several trees and is fully fenced. Our home is two levels with the upper portion being all carpet. My plan would be to have your little one on the lower level when with us, even when sleeping. Our dog Harley is not allowed upstairs and he is crate-trained and sleeps downstairs also. My experience administering medication Yes I am as long as I am shown how to do that properly. I’m a stay at a home mom, with 2 kiddos doing school from home and other than errands and other short trips away from home, we are home the majority of the time. I am able to give daily exercise and play. I have a great fenced yard for your dog to roam and explore. I always create a comfortable spot for their bed in our home, fresh water and food. We like to give treats when they are provided and my kiddos love to play and cuddle

“Holly was excellent taking care of both our dogs 2x daily while we were away. She was punctual, friendly and always communicated well. Our pups were very happy with her! We will definitely use her in the future.”

“Ethan was wonderful and very attentive to my cat’s needs. His communication was excellent from the start, and I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in his care. Would definitely book his services again!”

“Rose was such a great sitter! She is friendly, dependable, and flexible with her schedule! She is very attentive to detail and cares about your pets needs! She went above and beyond with the drop in even taking Milo on a walk when all she had to do was take him to a potty break! Furthermore she took great photos displaying what she did with Milo.

About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: After leaving the corporate world and starting my own small business many years ago- I found I had the time to watch and care for others furry friends and babies. A few years later- I welcomed my own fur baby- Winnie. She is my 3 year old female Maltese that loves to make new friends. She is sassy and full of energy. I have cared for all ages of dogs throughout the years and kept them on their at home routine per mom & dad's instructions-while having fun. I provide loving care and comfort while mom & dad are away and will send pictures and videos daily. Feeding, potty, walking, brushing, playing in my safe and fully fenced in backyard, medications administered (if needed) and most importantly helping make your baby feel loved and secure. I do require a kennel (you provide) for the safety of all for sleeping and rest time. I find most dogs find extreme comfort in a place they can call their own while away from home. I know how it feels to leave my Winnie Girl- the feeling of knowing my baby is in a safe and loving environment is so important to me and makes my heart feel good. I promise to make you (and them) feel the same. We can't wait to meet you! References by request. PS- I can take more than one dog at a time. I own a small business with extremely flexible hours. I am fully transparent and honest in my communication with you. When/If I need to be away- it is only for a few hours at most. I can assure you that your babies while in my care are in a secure and in a safe environment. I try my best to work with drop off and pick up times that work for everyone involved and can extend days if needed. My general rule with watching and caring for others fur babies is to follow your direction as close as possible, as I understand pets can feel insecure, lonely, sometimes sad when left in an unfamiliar place. I do my best to create an environment where they feel included, loved, safe and will communicate with you on suggestions for soothing your fur baby while you are away.

About: I am 20, 21 in March. I’m interested in pet and childcare. I realized I’ve always been a caretaker and always make sure I’m doing above and beyond care. I am currently in school. I go to EVCC but only have classes on Tuesday in the evening. I am currently trying to finish up school so I can become a para educator or work at a daycare. For home care. I care for my animals by feeding them. Letting them out every 1-2 hours. Obviously the treats are super important! I care for a guinea pig by keeping him on a healthy scheduled feeding and I also care for a reptile with a regular feeding, cleaning and shed helping!

About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,277 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Index. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Index. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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 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.
