“Destiny and Ben did amazing job giving my Hayes his shot. Hayes doesn’t always want to eat and was able to get him to eat while getting his shot. My Monkey doesn’t like anyone but me. They were able to get her out to eat and play with the laser. They followed my instructions on giving his insulin shot and they were experienced in giving insulin injections. They give me the peace to know they were in good hands.”
“Eleanor was quick to respond to my request and took such good care of my 2 dogs while I was gone for a couple of days! I am so appreciative of her time and the updates she sent during drop-in visits.”
“Jackie is our family’s go-to! She’s kind, communicative, and so good with our furry family—even the very fussy chihuahua mix who runs the show. I can’t suggest or thank her enough.”
“We had to go out of town for a family wedding and Kristan was absolutely amazing with our animals! She sent the cutest pics, was timely with the check-ins (and squeezed in a few extra minutes with them where she could), and left everything in better condition than she found it. We just moved to the area and had a lot of anxiety leaving our animals for the first time, but working with Kristan truly lifted that weight from us. Definitely recommend booking!”
About: I was raised right alongside the dogs and cats, and i hold experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! Dogs, cats, kittens, fish, gerbil, even horses! My mother is a retired dog trainer who’s taught me a great deal of tidbits in animal care, and she’s always here incase i need some extra advice on the job. I also have experience with dogs that have mild to moderate special needs. One of our current dogs, Rusty, is a picky eater in diapers. Unfortunately i don’t have a lot of experience with puppies, so i will not accept them at this time. I will only consider a dog under a year if they are very well mannered. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I have a knack for getting them to like me somehow! Heres what i WON’T do: -i won’t take any dog with a history of aggression and/or biting. -i cannot accommodate high energy dogs. -i won’t take large/giant dogs. May consider if they are extremely well mannered and leash trained. Im a small woman! -house trained pets only. -pets with extreme special needs. I am equipped to handle mild to moderate special needs. I will always request a detailed schedule/list as well as house dos and don’ts. I take my job seriously and want to do it right. Plus, you can relax a little more and i won’t bother you with too many little questions! Thanks for listening! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I am very flexible as i currently only have a part time job i work Friday mornings-early noon. On Fridays, the schedule may differ by a few hours but i’ll always make sure to get back to your friend ASAP! I’ll make sure to spend as much time with your friend as they need that i can give! Walks, treats, lovin, you ask and i’ll do mu best to provide!
“Sara was fantastic! My pup was not excited to have a visitor without his normal people there. Sara was great though and communicated promptly about the situation. Really appreciated that. Thanks so much, Sara!”
“Tracie has been a huge help! She was willing to come over and meet my dogs before I left town so they could get to know her. Both my dogs now trust her and will play fetch and tug with her. Will absolutely be scheduling with her again!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, starting with family pets and helping neighbors with their dogs and cats. As a lifelong pet owner, I'm comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I currently have 8 dogs and 3 cats of my own, so I'm experienced with different personalities, energy levels, feeding routines, administering basic care, and keeping everyone safe and happy. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants extra cuddles, I'll provide reliable, compassionate care and treat them like part of my own family. I’m a mental health therapist and have some flexibility, especially on Fridays and the weekends! Whatever schedule you need, we can discuss of course to make sure your pets are cared for. I like to check on dogs 3-4 times a day when I’m responsible for them. I also understand each dog is different and has their own needs.
About: I have had animals all my life. I’d love to look after friendly dogs and be able to spend time with animals while getting exercise.

I do not host pets in my home however I can come to your home and take care of your animals when needed. I can take them for walks, feed them and play with them.
“Professional, responsive, and prompt. Made sure our cats had their needs met, including one who gets an injectable medication and the other who gets an oral medication. Cleaned unexpected messes, too! Devin and Alexis, thank you for taking care of our buddies!”

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.
