“Royce is nothing less than a keeper! Our regular walker is no longer servicing clients. Royce organized a meet and greet prior to starting. Came with homemade treats also. My Duchess likes her and that’s what matters most. I think we’ve found our new regular?”

“Errin always does such a great job with my pup and always goes above and beyond. If you’re considering a sitter, I highly recommend going with Errin. You will not be disappointed.”

I coordinate my other activities around house sitting schedule ,so your fur baby will always come first before anything else. I use a calendar so you will never have to worry about me forgetting to take care of your baby's I will always follow owner instructions ,I will keep in contact with them. I am going to school to be a vet assistant that will help in emergency situations.
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.
About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.

About: Hi! I’m Kiera, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through neighbors, family friends, and personal experience. I started pet sitting and dog walking at 16 and have experience with drop-in visits, daily walks, overnight stays, medication administration, and caring for dogs with medical or special needs. I currently have a 1.5-year-old Standard Poodle, so I’m very familiar with high-energy, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m also definitely the “crazy dog mom” who worries about every little thing and doesn’t trust just anyone with my baby — so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with. Because of that, I take communication, safety, and trust very seriously. I know pets are family, not “just dogs.” I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion into pet care. I want pet parents to feel the same comfort and confidence that I would want for my own dog. I’m especially comfortable working with senior dogs or pets who may need extra patience and attention, as my two previous dogs had complex medical conditions that gave me extensive experience with medications, routines, and monitoring health concerns. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and dependable presence, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶✨ I currently am looking to do this full time so have complete open availability. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for others — whether children or animals — is something I genuinely love. My open schedule allows me to dedicate quality time, attention, walks, play, and companionship to the pets I care for rather than trying to rush through visits. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty routines, walk schedules, medication instructions, and any household preferences closely because I know consistency is important for pets. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision while their owners are away. I’m very communicative and understand how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I like to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”

“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. ❤️ I’m a proud dog mom to three amazing pups: Leo, my playful little dachshund, Lola, my sweet Chihuahua mix, and Lex, my big-hearted pit mix. They’re a huge part of my life, and caring for them has taught me so much about how unique every pet’s personality and needs can be. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, exploring nature, and enjoying fresh air with my furry friends. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone around to make them feel comfortable, I’m happy to make their time with me special! I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while respecting their routines, personalities, and individual needs. I’d love to meet your furry best friend and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away! 🐶🐾💕 I’m not working at the time so I have all day, I have some trips scheduled though, I’m normally out of town on thanksgiving and new years. I can’t watch your pets at my home because of my two dogs but I’m more then confortable on going to yours and keep your pet safe and loved.
About: I've always had pets in my life. I currently have five rescues dogs and two cats. They make me smile! It gets loud, but I have no regrets. I am a Burnet local for 10 years now. I know it's hard to leave our pets. I will gladly check in on yours and make sure to give them plenty of attention. They will always feel loved and cared for under my watch. My pets are treated as part of my family. I talk to them daily, give them treats, and make sure all of their needs are met.

“Lola was wonderful with my cats while I was away on vacation! She was reliable, very communicative, and sent the sweetest pictures with each of her three drop-in visits. I especially appreciated knowing that someone caring and trustworthy was checking on them while I was away. She clearly interacted with them and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable pet sitter!”


“Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.”


“Cayden was professional and sweet to my dogs. Great communication and I appreciated her updates before, during, and after her visit. Thanks for making my long work day a little more tolerable for the pups!”

About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.

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.
