“Taylor was great with our cats while we were away! She sent updates and photos and went out of her way when one wasn't seen for a couple of days. She asked neighbors if they had seen her and left food and water out in case she returned when she wasn't there. She also played with them and cleaned up their food and litter areas efficiently. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”
About: I have two dogs myself. I used to work at a doggy daycare but had to move. I often dog sit for people whenever they need it. I would love to be able to work with dogs again. I am free everyday in the morning or afternoon/evenings. Afternoons and evenings is when I will be most available but I can be flexible. I will do anything you want me to do with your dog. With my dogs at home we don’t have a fence so we walk them on a leash.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past three years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve helped care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to follow each family’s routines and instructions. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m a college student on Summer break, so I have lots of time to take care of your furry friends! I’m available from 6am-9pm everyday to accommodate your needs. I care for pets by first carefully reading all information and instructions provided to ensure I provide your feeding and walking schedules to a tee. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions and administer oral medications that your pet may need.
“Desirae was amazing! She was super attentive to my animals and always kept me updated. She sent lots of pictures and did wonderful with my special needs dog. I will definitely use her again!”
“Christy catered to a last-minute request for a couple of drop-ins while I was out of town for a couple of nights. I had already booked her for a longer stay in the future, but I’m glad I added this additional session so she could get familiar with my Blueberry and he could get used to her. Needless to say, he adapted very well. Christy communicated very proactively and sent pictures often. Very much appreciated care for my baby.”
“Natalie was amazing. My travel plans changed and she was willing to adapt her schedule. She was awesome with my elder feline who is 19. My cat doesn't like most people but I got pictures every day of her getting pets and love from Natalie. She also seemed less stressed than normal when I returned home, less needy. Overall amazing experience would highly recommend.”
“Aubrey was great from the initial meet and greet to communication and pictures. She showed up for the visits spent time love the cats, filled out a great report and sent lots of pictures.”
“Kathryn was a great, dependable dog watcher! I took a trip for a few days and could not have asked for a better sitter. She was dependable and sent plenty of updates. Would book with her again. 🤍”
“Olivia has been doing drop-in visits for my puppy for the past few months and has been amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when I’m away. She always makes sure my puppy is well taken care of, gets plenty of attention, and keeps me updated during visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Morgan was absolutely fantastic! We scheduled 2 drop in’s for our kitties and she was so gracious to put up with me being a crazy cat mom. The photos were adorable and put us right as ease to know our girls were in good hands!”
“So thankful Laura was able to walk and spend time with my dogs while I was out with some friends for a good part of the day. She communicated quickly and kindly, and she sent several pictures of my dogs while she was with them. I could tell the dogs had enjoyed themselves and used some energy with her as they were still calm and happy when I returned home. I’ll definitely reach out to Laura again, and my dogs will be excited for her return!”
“Allison was wonderful with my boys. She clearly loves what she does, goes above and beyond, takes/sends the cutest pictures/videos! I know my cats are in very good hands with her! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I've helped take care of neighbors and friends dogs many times since I was a kid up into college. I have always had a dog of my own and understand the importance of being able to get some help to watch them when needed! I am currently in Grad school and do have a hectic schedule. But I have mostly every Friday free and time in the afternoons on Saturdays and mornings on Sundays for drop ins! I am in an apartment but have a fenced in area behind it that I let my dog run in! My dog is typically free range at all times in my apartment but can be crated when needed. He is very friendly with other dogs. Typically I just ask what the normal routine is for the dog I am watching because I know everyone does their own thing a little different!
About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!

Natalie did another amazing job checking in on our two kitties while we were gone. She gave detailed updates on how they were doing and always sent photos. We knew they were getting lots of attention during her check-ins. We highly recommend Natalie as a pet sitter and will continue to book her in the future.
She went above and beyond for me when I had car trouble and couldn’t be back the day that I had planned on coming back home! She was super flexible and very understanding. I genuinely appreciated it. I don’t know what I would have done without her. 10/10, 5 STARS, I would recommend! My animals all loved her and she was very thoughtful and communicative. 😊👏

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 Johnson City 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.
