“Kimberly was great! She took the time the night before to come over and meet Hurley so that he was more comfortable. My boy has some anxiety and she was so patient and understanding, he took to her quickly! She gave me updates and photos and made sure Hurley was well taken care of! I’ll definitely be using Kimberly again and highly recommend her!”
About: I love love love canines. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own 🥰 I’m very active and love to entertain animals. I have experience with both small & large breeds. I've been an animal lover since childhood. My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but I decided on taking a different path and served in The Military for 20 years. I’ve had the unique experience of breeding Boxers for a few years. As a breeder I have cared for newborn puppies, deworming, administering shots, and potty training them until eventually finding them forever homes. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur baby and set their minds at ease until you return. I am retired and I’m ready to start a hobby that I will love. Please let me know any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration and I can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am currently unemployed and lots of free time to spend with your fur baby. I like to take walks and would love the extra company. I have a huge fenced in yard. I can crate your fur baby only if it is necessary. There is a separate space fenced in in my backyard if needed.
About: I am the known pet sitter within my friends and family from puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I treat all of them like my own children. I am currently in the position of not working as I am an electrician apprentice. My schedule is very open during the week. I also am a student so Tuesday and Thursday nights I have class from 6:30 to 8:30 In my own home, I have a 5 month old kitten and my roommate has a 6yr old blue heeler. My kitten is free range in the house, we have gates to put up so the dog doesn’t get into his food or his litter box. The dog is crated only sometimes every now and then. I will be doing sitting at the owners home since I live in an apartment. I can do doggy days out so they aren’t stuck inside take them on little adventures such as walks and small little hikes
About: Hi! I’m Ainslie Dooley, and I have 6 years of experience caring for pets. I’m passionate about providing dependable, loving, and high-quality care while making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’m a proud pet mom to Tucker, my Golden Retriever, and Rivers, my Australian Shepherd. They’ve inspired my love for animals and the care I bring to every pet I meet. I’m based in Leesville, South Carolina, and happily serve surrounding areas as well. Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🐾❤️ Caring for animals has always been a deep passion of mine, and I’ve been fortunate to turn that love into a full-time career.I truly love what I do, and it brings me joy to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, happy, and loved In addition to providing loving, reliable care for your pets, I also prioritize the safety and security of your home. During each visit, I ensure all doors are locked and can rotate lights to give your home a lived-in appearance if desired. For overnight stays, I remain in your home to offer an added layer of security and peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I am an outgoing medical assistant applying to physician assistant school. I love exercise so I am happy to walk your dogs. I am cpr certified and my sister is a vet tech who taught me cpr on animals such as dogs in case of an emergency. My fiancé and I own 3 dogs and they are super friendly. We have trained them to be calm and also crate trained. I love playing and providing constant care to all dogs and making sure all their needs are met. I am so excited that I am getting the opportunity to watch and care for your sweet babies. I have a very flexible schedule, and am available most days as while as nights to care for your fur babies. I work remotely therefore my time is open. In my home, we have a lot of space in and outside. We have a fence surrounding our home. I also take them on walks within our neighborhood, and provide a bunch of mentally stimulating toys and treats to my pups!
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our two boys, Franklin and Melon. She kept us up to date with plenty of photos and was easy to work with. Highly recommend her for anyone living in the Grovetown Area.”
About: Hello:) I'm Bella, and I've been independently taking care of and looking after dogs since I was 10 years old! My mother has been in the rescue space for about 15 years, starting her own in 2019. I've had the opportunity to meet, foster, and transport hundreds of different dogs with all sorts of unique characteristics/behaviors. I have also done multiple overnight stays for families that have previously adopted dogs from the rescue and friends. All dog breeds are welcome here! I have watched dogs from chihuahuas to Chows to Airedale terriers. Additionally, from puppies to seniors, small to extra-large, I am comfortable with all dogs and can accommodate special needs. I'm no stranger to raw feeding, administering medications, light training, and grooming. I've always had a deep love and special interest in all aspects of owning dogs, so It's always been my dream to do this professionally. I am currently in school part-time and can be out doing that for about 2-6 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. During this time, my mother works from home, takes care of the animals' needs, and lets them hang out with her while she works. The animals run the schedule in our home; there's never a time their needs aren't met for other plans. I am a night owl, but I am also up very early. So no matter the time of day, I can stay on schedule for walking, feeding, medication, or potty times. I'm experienced with leash pullers and escape artists, so I am always very cautious when it comes to walking or when leaving a dog alone. I have a wealth of knowledge about veterinary needs and am not afraid to act if it ever becomes necessary. I have a large fenced-in yard here at the house and plenty of space to roam with a leash outside of that. The permanent animals in my home are 4 friendly dogs (1 male Chow, 1 female Chow, 2 female small-medium mixed breeds) and 5 cats. Fosters are in and out often but do not disturb the function of the household. Separation is possible in the house with crates, corrals, or gated off rooms. Extra animal supplies are always available here from the rescues' overflow, so we are always prepared for anything. We keep a clean home, and I've been a part-time professional cleaner, so I will keep a tidy space if staying in your home as well. I'm not afraid of any messes; I have seen and cleaned it all! Communication is key, and I'm up for molding around your schedule if need be. My aim to treat your pups with the utmost respect and love they deserve, so you won't have any need to worry when you can't be with them!
About: I love all animals and even have a dog of my own name zora. I've worked in grooming shops and even ran one for about 10 days straight which included boarding (with cat's and dog's), doggy day, care and even washing dogs. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had because I got to play with dogs and help them learn tricks and made sure they had food and fresh water and clean kennels and if meds given on time. I walked them and and played with them too and I felt better knowing there in good care as I know there is a lot of bad care. I would love to take care of your pup's and cat's while your away or on vacation and even walk them or drop in's too. I've done a lot of training with my pup and grew up with animals as my mom runs a grooming shop and so did my aunt plus the grooming shop I worked at that I grew up around called Sam and boos. I also worked there until I had to go back to school in another county. I would truly love to help! I am home everyday and have plenty of time to spend on caring for all the babies I have 2 of my own Zora and Zelda standard poodles that I love to spend time with and take for walk! Your babies are my full focus! My pets have the best life I could provide for them they are my main priority I own fish hermit crabs and 2 dogs! I would give your pets the same care I give mine! My animals always have fresh water there meals on time or how ever there feeding schedules are! I make sure they are comfortable happy and healthy and safe! I do crate my dogs when I leave for short periods so I know they are safe!
About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

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.
