“Olivia had great communication and was available even on such short notice! I always worry whether people can handle my crazy dogs but she did great. Such a sweet girl, my wild dogs tore up a pillow and she was so sweet to clean the mess. She followed instructions well and was on time every time. I also received photos after every visit. I will definitely be booking with her in the future, thanks again!”
“Anita is a godsend. She’s helped me two different times for work trips and I could not have been happier and more at ease that my dogs would be in safe hands. She’s communicative, skilled, and thoughtful. I wish I lived here full time because I’d have Anita anytime I needed to go out of town.”
“Caitlin was great! She dropped in a couple times to take care of our dog while we were at an event. She took him on walks and I received cute photos of our boy. We will book with her again when we need someone to check on our pets.”
“Robin is absolutely wonderful. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how genuinely passionate she is about animals. Communication was excellent throughout, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos that put my mind completely at ease while I was away. My pet was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Robin doesn’t just treat this as a job, they truly love what she does and it shows. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend!”
“Our pets are always happy and healthy when we get back from a trip if Kali is watching them! She’s great with all our dogs and cats and goes above and beyond to communicate with us and keep us up to date!”
“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!”

About: My name is Shannon and I am 42 years old. Me and my husband currently have 4 crazy dogs who we take on adventures all the time. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 11 years. I am working part time and I am hoping to fill some of my free time walking dogs. I am very experienced with handling dogs in all situations. I have done dog walking and pet sitting in the past. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. Currently working part time as a veterinary assistant. I would love to have regular walks scheduled but can be available for last minute needs. I will not be bringing dogs to my home or bringing my dogs around any other dogs as my dogs do not get along with other dogs. I have my own very reliable vehicle that I can use to transport pets if needed for different walking experiences.
About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently work very part time. Typically 2 shifts a week in the evenings. The longest I would be away from your pets would be approximately 9 hours 1-2x weekly. I am also on call for my aging family members. They are close so my time away is minimal. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
About: Vet experience plus raising a puppy at home helps me care for pups of all ages with love, training, and gentle attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home all the time and have weekends off work, so I can give your furry child lots of love and attention! I care for pets by giving daily medications, playing with my energetic puppy in our fenced yard, and using a crate if needed to keep them safe and comfortable.
“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.”
“I cannot even begin to explain how much of a lifesaver Rebecca was while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I didn't worry about my kitty at all while I was gone because I knew she was in such good hands. She was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures of my girl so I didn't miss her quite so much. We will definitely be using Rebecca for our next vacation if she is available!”
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
“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: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.
About: I've been dog-sitting for 5+ years now(outside of Rover), worked at a doggy daycare for a year, volunteered at a dog boarding facility during the holidays, and have a cat of my own. I am also experienced in animal care for more animals that Rover won't let me type here. So if you have a farm that needs care, I am able to provide! I am currently doing pet sitting FULL-TIME! Please, if you need a sitter in the Monroe area, now is the time to book! My calendar is completely open, and I can care for your animals at any time for as long as you need. I love treating all animals as equals by treating them the way I want to be treated: with kindness, care, and love. I will never hit, yell, stomp at, or forcefully move an animal. If they are in danger, then I may move them or give a stern command(danger meaning an emergency such as a fight, fire, or if they're going to eat/touch something they can't).`

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,310 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
