About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time now and I enjoy every second! (from puppies to seniors) I have looked after neighbors, friends, and family pets. I have trained my dog and family’s before. ex: sit, paw, heal, walk, rollover, and even flip! I’m currently working part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to play/walk your dogs! I am available for monday to friday 6am to 4pm! I treat any other dog just like my own! I make sure they are fed, walked and plenty of play time. I respect peoples house and their rules! I am always on time or if not 10 mins early anywhere I go!
“Alyssa did amazing! My request was short notice and she was able to accommodate her schedule time to drop in with Pongo. Loved the updates, and she has a great communication. Thank you so much for helping.”
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Izzy! She followed all directions, was very kind and caring, and truly went above and beyond to make sure Izzy was well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jade and would trust her with Izzy again!”
“Our large dog leans towards the aggressive side, but Justin seems to have the touch when it comes to animals. Our dog immediately treated him like family from the first meet and greet. Justin's calm demeanor really provided our separation anxiety tendency pup real comfort. I will be going through Justin for every future sit need.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I had my own dog sitting and walking business from ages 14-19 and then stopped dog walking when I adopted my first dog. Now, we have 3 dogs, and I would love to help other families with their fur babies! My husband and I work full time but will be available on weekends. We also can provide services in the late afternoon/evening. My husband and I will both be assisting, and will make time for you and your babies! I work remotely 2-3 times a week. We’re best able to assist with boarding, on Fridays and the weekends. We can dog walk on the weekends and evenings. During the weekday, our availability is more limited given our full time jobs. We can care for a few dogs at a time, if you are comfortable with it! If not, let us know and we can limit our care to just your pet! We have a large, fenced yard! We also have 3 friendly dogs of our own! They are our family! We are respectful of other people’s homes and their family members.
“Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!”
“We needed a last minute dog walker for our 1 year old Husky. Caitlyn was GREAT! I loved seeing all the pictures and updates. She even cleaned up a little of a mess that Nuna made. Definately will be using her again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!
“Our second time having Olivia do drop in visits with our pups! She is so flexible and accommodating. The pups love her. Thanks again for taking great care of our little fur babies.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! I used to work for a pet store but I now work at a veterinary office! I’m currently working full time at a veterinary office but I am free most weekends to stop by and check on your fur babies! 🐾🩷 I love my cats as if they are my own children, so I will make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own!
“Never before has anyone exceeded my expectations in as glowing a manner at a time when I needed it most like Lauren! My cat Rosie’s tendency is to usually shy under the bed but this heaven-sent petsitter was able to coax her out and send me the pictures and even videos I needed so badly to see during my vacation amidst my separation anxiety from Rosie! For this, I continue to be grateful to Lauren. In the past, Rosie would be very upset when I returned from my vacations but when I came back from having had Lauren pet sit, Rosie greeted me very happily! I have nothing but glowing things to say about Lauren yet as I fear writing all my praises would be too long a review, I will conclude by saying that if you are looking for a petsitter that is professional, reliable, responsible and not only loves animals but has a way with them, look no further than Lauren!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years and I am very good with high energy breeds. I am an active person who loves to walk (sometimes run!) and play with dogs. My goal is to care for each dog as if it were my own. I always keep calm during emergencies and maintain strong communication. I currently work full-time from home and plan to do pet-care as a side job. I am available for quick visits during my lunch hour (12:15-12:45), and after 3:30 on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends. I make sure to understand how each dog is cared for by their owner and aim to care for dogs in their own environment according to how they are most comfortable. I prefer dogs that have a crate in the home as an option, and I require a secure walking harness for safety.
“Haleigh was so awesome in Cari g for ALL 3 of my babies! She is a god send. I have never used this app before and was skeptical at first but she eased all of my worries and concerns. She checked in with me multiple times and sent me videos and pics of my babies and took care of them as if they were her own. Will definitely be a returning customer and recommend her without any hesitation! Thanks again Haleigh🫶🏻🥰”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
We had such a wonderful experience with Deanna! This was our first time using her, and from the moment we met, I felt 100% comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. You can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves dogs and how caring she is with them. It was so nice to be able to go away and truly relax, knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We are so thankful to have finally found someone we can trust and will absolutely be using Deanna again!

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.
