About: As a pet parent myself, I know how challenging & stressful it can be to find a dog sitter that you trust. I pride myself on making your dog feel at home & caring for them as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets in the home since my dear dog passed away after 15 years, but I am happy to direct all of that love to the dogs in my care. I am a SAHM so I have a flexible schedule & your pup will get plenty of attention. I currently only board one dog at a time, although I am open to accepting multiple dogs as long as they are from the same household/family. My two daughters (10 & 13 yo) also love animals & are very dog savvy. I have a special spot in my heart for seniors after caring for my own dog in her twilight years & knowing the special challenges that go along with that. Our family recently moved back to the area after years abroad so I am excited to build up my client base in this area. Looking forward to meeting you & your pups! 🐶 I am currently a stay at home mom so your pup will get plenty of time & attention. I am available weekdays, weekends & holidays and offer flexible drop off & pick ups. I have a single family home with a fenced backyard. The yard is on the smaller side but luckily my neighborhood has a ton of great walking trails for your pup & I to explore.
“Cortney was wonderful! Our Kitties clearly loved her company and were well taken care of! She was communicative and sent us lots of photos that we really appreciated!”
“Carolina did a fantastic job with our guy Ovi! She took great care of him and went above and beyond. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who is looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Leigh came and did check-ins with our senior cat for a week. Our cat has some medications and special food requirements and Leigh took it in stride. I also really appreciated her communication and timely updates! Coordinating meet and greet and check-in times was smooth. We will definitely be booking with Leigh again!”
About: I have always had pets, growing up as a child, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My love for animals reflects daily as I have been working in a pet boarding and day care facility for the past 8 years. I have extensive experience working with all breeds and ages of animals, including both aggressive dogs, and working canines. I can also provide prescription medications and groom (bath and nail trims) as needed. Given my years of professional experience, I am confident in my abilities to take care of your pet(s). I do currently work full-time during the day Monday through Friday, however, I am available late afternoons, evenings and all-day on weekends including some holidays. I currently have an American Bully at home, and she is accustomed to having multiple dogs and small children in the home at times as well. Unfortunately, our backyard is not fenced in however, I can provide a cage if needed or gate the stairs to allow free roam on the main level if housebroken. I can provide services both in your home or mine including overnight stays and daily walks as requested.
“manrong was communicative, reliable, clean, and great with both our highly anxious dog and cat. our cat has never come out for a sitter until we booked with her, which really spoke volumes. manrong also followed all my instructions and made adjustments when asked. she was patient and gentle with our babies so i felt completely at ease while we were gone. i’d definitely recommend her!”
“there's no one I would trust more than Melika with my dogs. they absolutely love her and she's so so good with them I never have to worry when they're with her”
“Hailey was amazing and took such great care of my dog while I was away. She was very responsive which i really appreciated and sent pictures whenever she got the chance. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Hailey for taking good care of karma for me!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! She shared detailed updates and the sweetest photos every day, and it was clear my pup felt completely loved and comfortable. Coming home to such a happy dog says it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
“Emma was up for taking care of Tiger at the last minute despite not having a meet and greet. With it being a holiday weekend multiple other sitters weren’t available. Thank you so much Emma! We will absolutely recommend her and book her in the future!”
About: Long time dog/cat owner that has years of experience working with Rover and Wag to deliver quality, reliable, pet care. I treat every animal as if it is my own. I’m currently available the majority of the time both during the week and weekends currently to provide flexible and convenient care for your pets. I ensure your dog is safe and secure before going out and make sure to keep an eye out for any hazardous conditions. I treat each pet like they are my own.
“Our dog immediately felt comfortable with David. He was very patient and thorough with her, and even tidied up her food and surrounding area. His communication was perfect and very proactive. He is the only person we will consider in the future. Thanks David!!”
“Wyatt and his dog Alien are amazing. I needed someone dependable that could get my high energy dog out for a walk and play date, and Wyatt never let me down! On time, reliable and trustworthy, will definitely use him again. I have given his name out to my neighbors as well.”
“Hayleigh came out to meet our dogs before a house sitting booking and spent time becoming familiar with them and their routines. Hayleigh has a calming presence and I know our dogs will enjoy their time together.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid! It’s one of life’s pleasures to bond with them, and in my care I hope to make your fur baby feel safe as can be. No matter if they’re grumpy or sweet as can be, I will care for them as if they are my own! Thank you so much for your consideration! I’m available weekends and weekdays, day and night to housesit. I don’t have many external commitments, so please reach out to me for more details! I will provide a calm presence for your animals. I grew up around many cats at once, so I would say I have a specialty working with them. Since I have no animals of my own, I will fall in love with your dog or cat as soon as I meet them. I feel a deep connection to all animals.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles, while keeping owners updated along the way. I work from home and my schedule is flexible enough that your pup will get lots of attention throughout the day. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. I also have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle who loves going on frequent walks and having a furry friend to play with. Your dog will have the option to enjoy some extra playtime and companionship with my pup, while I make sure every pet gets the individual care and attention they need. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I make sure they’re in a safe, comfortable environment and always have plenty of supervision, attention, fresh water, and opportunities for exercise and play. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s individual needs and your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care they may require. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own, while making sure their pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ivakota
Melika was truly wonderful, we would definitely hire her again to watch our pups! Having two large dogs makes it not so easy to find someone comfortable watching them but Melika was able to handle them (and their rambunctious behavior) so well, the pups both loved her! She even brought over our lab a slow feeder bowl to test out before we invested in the purchase - so sweet! She was on time, communicated well, and sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended booking with Melika!
Our dog immediately felt comfortable with David. He was very patient and thorough with her, and even tidied up her food and surrounding area. His communication was perfect and very proactive. He is the only person we will consider in the future. Thanks David!!
I had an excellent experience! Emily was incredibly kind, communicative, and took wonderful care of my cats. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and the flowers she left as a thank-you were such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.

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.
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.
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 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.
