“Ashley did such a great job with Ruger. She came to our home twice while we were away. She dropped in on time, took pics of Ruger for us, and let us know how he was doing. She took him outside to go potty, fed him and gave him water. She played with him for a little while and he warmed up to her right away. HUGE thanks to Ashley for “peace of mind”, being able to leave home all day knowing our sweet Ruger was happy and safe with her. 🥰”
“Jennifer snd family have done an outstanding job of taking care of my dog, Ruger. They are very friendly and treat your dog like one of their own. This is my second booking with Jennifer and I will use her again. Highly recommend Jennifer for your dog.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping my grandmothers care for their dogs and later taking an active role in caring for my own family dog. I eventually got my own cat, who I’ve independently cared for for several years. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve spent the past 4 months working as an overnight pet sitter, caring for pets of all ages and types and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’ve also worked with children through babysitting and have experience staying calm, responsible, and attentive in situations that require patience and flexibility. My love for animals has even influenced my education. I’m currently a student-athlete at the College of Coastal Georgia majoring in Marine Biology. I’m passionate about animal care and treat every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs. As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule can be fairly busy, especially before 3 p.m. However, I’m definitely open to working on weekdays as long as we can discuss the schedule ahead of time and make sure it works with my classes and practices. I have much more flexibility on weekends, with the exception of a few Saturday mornings when I have practice. I’ll always communicate my schedule and availability in advance so that pet care can be planned accordingly. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to accommodate! My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: My flexible schedule and love for animals is what sets me apart. I guarantee your pet will be very loved and cared for. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs that have a hard time walking. Along with experience with younger pets. (If needed: I also have reptile experience) I have a flexible college schedule but I am not allowed to have pets in my dorm. There forth I’ll have plenty of free time to pamper your pet! In order to care for the pet at the owners home; I would alternate my services depending on the pet and owners needs. Every pet is different so I’m willing to do whatever is needed.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets for over 10 years. I’ve cared for dogs & cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your pets need a fun walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, including many evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby gets the care, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away! 💕 Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a secure fenced yard and plenty of space for playtime and relaxation. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate time, walks, and any special instructions. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while they’re in my care! 🐾❤️
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. It was nice to come home and not have to clean up after the cats because Lindsay was so diligent about doing everything I requested on her visits.”

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.
