“First time using this app and needed help while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. Bianca came by my house a day early so I could give her a run down and introduce her to the dogs since I was going to be gone by her first visit. She was punctual, sent great pics and went above and beyond each trip. Truly grateful to have someone live my babies like I do during my away trips! Will use again 100%”
“Lauren seems to genuinely care for animals. It was a comfort to know my dogs were well cared for while we were away. She was responsive to my texts and I like that photos are sent during the visit. We will use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: I have cared for many dogs in my life. I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, as well as my own, ranging from chihuahuas to great danes. I have yet to meet a pooch who doesn't like me. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pup. I know that each pup is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of the pup or pups. I'm Alexis and I will be your pup's best friend! I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.
“Suzanne was great! She worked with me for just the right schedule of stop-in visits and overnights to take care of my anxious cat. Watered plants and generally looked after everything. Made the trip better knowing she was here.”
“Aleisa is such a pleasure to work with. Friendly and engaging. Puts Wendy’s timid personality first when interacting. Definitely makes time to make us feel comfortable with leaving and Wendy feel safe when we are gone. So grateful to have found her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every chance I’ve gotten. At my church every knows I’m up for a dog watching gig at their house or my own at any time. I really love animals :) I’m a student and tennis player at Howard Payne university home for the summer and would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dogs and have a little buddy to hang out with! My goal isn’t just to take great care of your dogs, but to give them the time of their life! Lots of cuddles, walks, and attention! I’ll feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and out to use the bathroom whenever needed of course.
“Kimberly was punctual. She sent pics of our fur babies smiling and playing! And she even checked for a package delivery we were expecting! We’ve already booked her for another drop in visit!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
About: I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. This can include walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, cuddle time, and simply keeping them company so they feel relaxed and secure in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. As a proud dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life. Beyond caring for my own dog, I’ve helped family and friends by looking after their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. These experiences have taught me how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone else’s furry family member. I work full-time as a manager, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need during my visits. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Because I have a dog at home, I do not offer boarding services. While my husky is friendly, I believe being realistic about the services I can provide helps ensure the best experience and safety for every pet in my care. Dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already part of my routine — through walks, care, and helping my family pets feel loved Because of the dog I have at home, I do not offer the boarding service. Although friendly, it just is not a realistic service for me.
About: I have been so fortunate to care for and love on many dogs from puppy age to senior, both big and small! My soul dog of 16 years dealt with heart issues the last few years of his life which gave me the skills to track, administer, and monitor his schedule as needed. I have also had pups who've dealt with stomach and skin issues, so i am experienced in that aspect as well. I have a very flexible daily schedule as I work from home and spend the day taking care of furry friends. This gives me ample opportunity to give your pets all of the love and care that they need while you are away! When caring for pets in your home, I always ensure that they stick as close to their normal routine as possible to ease their stress. It is important to create a stress-free environment and a calm relationship between myself and your furry fam!

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 Jacksonville 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.

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 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.
