“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
About: I am very attentive to my fur babies I have a 11 year old and a 1 year old their names are Milo and King. King needs a little more TLC he has congestive heart failure and has to take heart meds for the rest of his life. Milo is a ball of energy he keeps me on my feet he love to play run and belly rubs. Dog grooming is also available if needed for your furry fur baby. Pet care is very important to me. Proper pet care is the basis of responsible pet ownership. Caring for an animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. I have 2 small dogs who loves company King is old and set in his ways so he doesn’t play much just bark and Milo is the social one he gets along with all dogs. There is a dog bark near by that I take him to so he can run jump and play with other fur babies
About: Hi! I’m Nikki, and I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their different personalities, routines, and the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared dogs and cats while people are away, making sure they stayed on their normal schedule, got plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently care for two pet ferrets, so I’m comfortable with small animals and understand that every pet has unique needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or someone patient and dependable to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to earn that trust and care for your pets. My schedule allows me to provide care during early mornings before 7:30 AM and evenings after 4:00–5:30 PM, depending on the day. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability on those Fridays for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, a walk before work, dinner, playtime, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like they’re my own. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet’s space stays safe and tidy. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
“From our first contact on, Rachel was friendly, very helpful (this was my first Rover experience, and she made sure I understood how things work), responsible, and caring. I felt entirely safe having her take care of our cats at our home. She did a great job, and sent us some truly awesome pictures! I highly recommend Rachel. ?”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This way my first time using rover and I was skeptical considering these are people you don’t know and I would be letting them in my home. Laura was amazing. My dog loved her. Everything was left as was when we returned. She communicated very well and pleasant. Sent us plenty of photos and effectively communicated. We will be using her and her only in the future. Great job Laura! And thank you again! We can’t thank you enough!!!!”
About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.
“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”
“Laura did a great job taking care of my chickens. She was on time and even brought them tomatoes one day. Made sure they were feed and safe. I would recommend her if you need your pets spoiled.”
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
About: I am Lisa, and I am 30 years old. I have owned dogs my entire life, and don’t think I could ever life with out them! I rescued my dog Blaze in Oct 2023 and we’ve been best friends ever since. He is super playful and gets along great with other dogs. We would love a companion to keep us company. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I am currently working full time, so weekends ideally fit into my schedule best. If our locations happen to be close by, I could assist during weekdays for walks. I have a fully fenced in back yard that has new turf - my dog loves to run around back here or sun bathe with a toy.
About: I have a family dog, who I love! And also I have my own furry Labradoodle! I can walk your dog, feed them, and spend time playing with them and give them all the attention they deserve!! I am responsible and caring. I will care for your dog as if it is my own! I am currently home during the week and available. I am able to provide any needs that your dog may need. We are able to spend time outside playing and go on walks. I always make sure the dogs are always safe in my home. Any dangerous items are properly stored and secured away from the animals. When it’s time to play out side or go on a walk, I always make sure their leases are secured.
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 14. In the pass 8 years I have acquired paid experience. I have and still volunteer at local animal shelters when time permits. Most of my experience has been with fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I also have experience in medication administration. I currently work part-time so my schedule is flexible especially for drop in visits. My weekends are limited but weekdays are open with more flexibility. I like to follow owners instructions on caring for their pet in their environment. I will never place your pet in a dangerous situation. I will make sure all safety gates are in place and keep harmful materials away from your pet.
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”

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 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 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.
