About: I love dogs, and have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, multiple dogs at a time. I grew up with a Spitz and currently have an adorable and highly energetic Border Collie who absolutely loves having friends over. We'd be so excited to have your pup come stay with us for a sleepover! I believe in treating pets like family, and can ensure your dog a safe home with lots of love and warmth. I am a research engineer at INL. I typically work from home in the mornings and go to work in the afternoons. I would make sure to feed the dogs and walk/play with them before I leave, and repeat when I come back home. I'm happy to accommodate your dogs feeding and potty time habits so they feel comfortable. I have a range of fun toys at home including chew toys, balls and puzzles. My own dog loves to share and play. I have an obstacle course set up in my yard which is super fun and mentally engaging. I also have frisbees and a tug rope attached to my tree in the yard. I have a 3 bedroom home with open layout and lots of space with long corridors set up to play fetch if it gets too cold outside. My preference is for house trained and crate trained, small to medium size dogs who are friendly and like to play with other dogs, and do not display aggression towards other male dogs. I work from home in the mornings and would feed and let the dogs out before leaving for work around noon. I am usually back home by 5 and rarely have any engagements in the evening, allowing me to focus on your dog's needs. The dogs won't be alone for more than 5-6 hours at a time and will be monitored by pet cam the entire time. I have a fenced yard and make sure to dog proof the house so that they do not hurt themselves on any dangerous objects. My dog is house and crate trained.
About: Hello! i’m Faith i’m a Dog Bather. I have been for about two years now. I have also been house sitting for about the same amount of time. However, i was raised on horse and have previously house sat and watched horses as well. I do work as a bather during the week and i’m in college so i’m totally available on weekends and nights/evenings during the week days. I personally like to try to build and calm and trusting environment for each dog i interact with. I do also try to make sure that i’m setting clear boundaries and rules with every dog to start off.
“Summer communicated well of when she would be there, what the dogs did, and how they were. I was nervous as my dogs are never left alone and she did great with keeping me informed during her check ins.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our big dogs! She was flexible with me when my travel plans changed, and treated my precious puppos with sweetness and love. She was always punctual with her scheduled visits, and I loved the pictures in my Rover card after each visit. Highly recommended! We will definitely use her help again.”
“Jenna helped us out at the last minute and my dog had the best time with her! She’s been such a pleasure to work with. She’s nice and very professional. And she has taken the best pictures of my dog that I have ever seen- like professional level. Bear and I would love to work with her again.”
“Lacey was wonderful with my cat. I was so worried about leaving her for the first time. She put me at ease immediately. I will be using her whenever I have to leave her at home. Elphie loved her 😻”
“Cecilia has been great to work with. She provides excellent care for our dog when we're away, and she's always consistent, reliable, and on time. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid, we've had everything from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and iguanas! And within all of that ive worked with elderly animals (mostly cats and dogs), including helping clean them and helping them use the restroom, and I've worked with all the baby animals too! I've helped with leash training, litter box training, learning how to play with toys and even crate training! I absolutely love animals and have always had a special bond with them. As a dad to 5 kiddos, 1 dog and 1 cat I know just how important the fury kids are! Looking forward to helping out with your pets and treating them like part of the family! I have 5 kiddos so we are always running around somewhere, but I would love my kids and your pets to be my full time job! Right now I work part time in a preschool but I would like a schedule that is a little bit more flexible so I have more time to spend with my family! All that to say my schedule is incredibly flexible at the moment so I'm ready to jump in! I have a fenced yard and 1 dog who is beyond friendly. She does amazing with other dogs and cats, she has never been aggressive towards animals or people and she loves to play! We keep a puppy gate at the end of the hallway so the pets stay in the main part of the house and so the kiddos can keep their bedrooms as their own space. We free feed and water Molly (our dog) but also have experience feeding on a schedule! Molly has some problems with her ears getting sore so we are very careful to clean her ears daily, I also have experience giving animals medications so I feel comfortable helping with things like that as well. Molly does sleep in an extra large crate at bed time (with her super fluffy puppy bed inside) but if I were to animal sit in our home I'm happy to care for them however you prefer! Mom and dad know their pets best!
About: I have taken care of many animals, I have pet sat in homes that have 1 dog up to 5 dogs and other farm animals. I will treat every animal like they are my own, and give them all the love and care they need! I am a teacher who is off for summer break so I will be home every day, I do leave the house but for now longer than 3 hours at a time as we have our own dog. I have had experience in many different homes caring for animals. We have a fenced yard and when your animal is here they will be supervised at all times or in their crate to keep them safe.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, starting on my small farm where as a kid I helped care for farm animals and lots & lots of dogs and cats. I love every animal I meet, even when they don’t like me. I have been taking care of my dog for ten years, with another senior dog for the past three years. I also had a senior cat for the past few years and took care of her while she was sick until she ultimately died, we miss her tons in my house ❤️🩹 I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like! I am currently a student doing online work, so I’m pretty flexible and have pretty open availability! I’m not always available, but I am often and my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you. I do drop ins to care for your pet in your home and walks. I am a very tidy and clean person and do my best to not leave a mark in the places I go. I’ll always make sure to honor your requests and leave your space as clean as it was or cleaner than when I found it! I also am good with pets because I’m patient and able to respect boundaries with less trusting pets.
“Lisa took such great care of our two kitties, she treated them like her own! She was very responsive and communicative, and addressed every issue she encountered with no complain. We would definitely book her again!”
“Brooke was amazing with my cats! She was super communicative and took great care of them. They’re usually very shy, but they even came up to her. I really appreciated all the updates and would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of almost any animal imaginable my entire life. From farm animals to regular household pets. I would love to give your pet the most love possible! I could never get sick of loving on them. No animal is too big or too small. I love taking them for walks or just playing fetch in the park. If my prices do not meet your needs please send a request and I’m more than willing to negotiate to help ensure your pet has a safe place. I am available anytime. I’m just a stay at home mom looking for some extra fun things to do. Your pets are welcome to come over and hang out at my house or even stay the night. My dog is extremely friendly and loves having friends or I can hang out with your pet solo! I have plenty of space to crate your dog if need be. My dog is extremely friendly and loves making friends or playing fetch with them.
About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!
“This is my first time using a pet sitter, and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent! I felt like my pets were in amazing hands with Lara. She paid extra attention to their needs (and messes) and cared a lot about their wellbeing. I really appreciated her attentiveness and her love for animals.”
About: I have been looking after dogs for most of my life. I know every single dogs individual needs. And I have always loved to play with dogs and I prefer the company of dogs over people sometimes! Recently, I’ve been getting off at three in the afternoon, so I have a lot of the day where I want to care for animals! Each pet has a schedule individual needs and personality that needs to be met. In certain ways. I’ve cared for many individual types of dogs where I know the difference in what type of attention they need.
“Anna was so kind to come and check on my dogs super last minute! She came a day before to meet me and the dogs, and then came to let them out potty and give them some love while I was gone for a long day. She was so sweet and I will definitely use her again in the future :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Iona
Jeffrey was great!! He was very accommodating and attentive. He came over to meet our cats before we left to ensure that there would not be an extra stress, and to ensure that they would get along. He listened to me engage with our standoffish cat to know how to talk with her. I appreciated everything he did for us while we were out of town!!
Anna is always so wonderful to us and our babies! She is always available to work with us and our schedule, and is so kind and patient with our elderly dog who can be a very ornery girl. I cannot express how much I appreciate her caring for our babies when we have to leave town. Leaving my dogs and cats is always stressful, but I have much more peace of mind knowing that someone who genuinely cares for my babies is checking on them for me 💕

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Iona stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
