“Justin was great! We needed someone last minute and he replied right away. He was on time and went above and beyond.My dog really likes him. We will be using him again. Thanks Justin!”
About: I work currently for an Animal Hospital, I have 4 years of experience with Animals big or small, I own 3 pitbulls at home and care for them everyday. I also know certain allergens and certain sickness if needed. I am currently working every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fri, and at least 1 Sat per month. I work until 6 so I can do I quick walk if needed after my schedule, otherwise I will available every Thu, Sunday, and most Sat as long as I'm not working that certain Sat. I have a fenced yard, with 2 senior pit bulls and one 3 year opd pit bull, who is a little goober. I take special care for my seniors by making sure they can safely walk outside and potty, and I have them on specific diets that consists of fiber and iron to help thier joints feel better. As far as my younger one I daily train him to keep him in line. But he usually will get a specific diet for his digestive issues, so no human food and on a gastrointestinal wet and dry food.
“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”
“Nikki is fantastic with our pups! She has really taken the time to get to know them and is able to manage any situation perfectly. We feel so comfortable leaving them in her care!”
“Miles was amazing! He was very reliable and he took extra great care of our pets, especially our dog who has to take multiple medications throughout the day. He had great communication, he was very flexible and pleasant to work with. We loved his daily updates! It was great having someone we could trust watching our pets!”
About: I’m a pet lover. I have been an owner of cats, small & bigs dogs, birds & fish. It’s natural for me to take care of them and to get what they need. I remember that I adopted a mixed Husky who was born with some issues at his back legs. But for me I knew he worth it, to be loved as any other dogs. I’m experienced to handle puppies, to take care different ages & breeds of dogs. Keeping pets active, fed and cared is the most important for me I will take care your dogs like they was mine. And will provided them all my attention to keep them safe, bring more fun & love to make every journey unique until they get back to you.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own! I currently have clinicals during the week, but I’m typically available after 5 PM. I have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time caring for, walking, and giving pups plenty of attention and love. I care for every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I have two crate-trained dogs, and I’m happy to keep them separate if that makes your pup more comfortable. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine and you prefer it.
“Kaylee checked on my kitties and they seemed to take to her well - they’ll often hide when people they don’t know are at the house, but they came out and said hi the first visit! Kaylee completed all requested tasks and spent time playing with them. Will book again 🙂”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
About: Growing up in an animal loving family I've seen it all. I have taken care of several dogs of all ages and sizes and will treat your pet as my own! :) Im currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I specialize in morning and night shifts walks as well as overnight stays and drop-in visits! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room for your furry friend to run or lounge! My home is child free and a safe place for any animal of any age.
“Kelly was absolutely outstanding with our cat! She was caring, attentive, and truly went above and beyond! She played with our cat, gave her so much love and attention, and followed everything we asked perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
“This is the first time I have ever left my dog for an extended period of time and was very nervous as my dog is like my child. Sadi has been amazing from the start, she was flexible with my schedule, made it a point to meet my dog before I left, put my mind at ease when I saw how much she loved animals and how much my dog loved her from the moment she walked in. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the visit to ensure me that he was doing well. She even went above and beyond with helping me understand how the whole Rover process works. I am now a loyal customer of Sadi's and will be using her for any future needs. You will not be disappointed with her. She is wonderful!!!”
“Anna is always so great when she cares for our mini donkeys! Always checking in, taking photos, and making sure our CJ and Penny have everything they need! We really do appreciate it and would highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Allie was amazing with all three of our animals, she definitely went the extra mile to give us peace of mine while we were on vacation. She sent multiple updates throughout the day along with pictures and videos. You can tell she's a animal lover and our animals loved her! We will definitely be rebooking on our next vacation!!”
About: I’m the owner of Barnyard Pet Retreat. I do dog/cat boarding out of my own home. It’s my full time job so I’ll be with them at all times. I have multiple dogs of my own and I am home full time. So, your fur babies will be monitored and loved at all times! I have a great potty routine that my dogs are currently on. I have anywhere from small dogs to big dogs in my household so your fur baby will have a lot of company. I can cage your dogs if needed or my own for your fur baby’s comfort.
“Stephanie was fantastic. From the first conversation through her last visit our Liberty was in good hands. I high recommend you book her if you need your dog taken care of. We have no need to book anyone else but her for our loving Liberty. Thanks Stephanie!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jaars
This was our first time using Ryan and she did everything we asked. Plus, we have three cats, all with medical needs and medication regimes, which she also handled while we were away (for four days). We’re relieved to have someone we can trust with our cats and our home. Thanks Ryan for the help!
First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.

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.
