“Thank you so much for checking on Wren!! We had a family emergency and had to travel asap! Julia was very understanding and down to earth. Wren was so happy to see us when we got back and I had peace of mind that she was looked after while we were gone.”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic! She really showed care while taking care of our cats! It was a huge relief knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town for so long.”
About: Over the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to the lifelong care of my two dogs, gaining an intimate understanding of canine development from puppyhood through their senior years. This journey has fostered a deep-seated passion for pet advocacy and specialized care. Whether meticulously managing Cookie’s daily medical regimen for allergies or providing a steady, reassuring presence for Snowball’s anxiety, I approach every unique need with unwavering patience and heart. I am committed to bringing this same level of attentive, high-standard care to your pets, ensuring their health and emotional well-being are always the top priority. I work full-time remote so I can care for your pets almost on a 24/7 basis guaranteeing that they are looked after. I can take breaks whenever as needed, so I can fully tailor to your pets' potty schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for your pets to freely roam outside. While inside, we don't restrict any area from pets. We have two dogs to keep your pets company.
About: Hi! I’m Caitlyn and I have been an animal lover my whole life! As someone with pets of their own, I understand wanting the best care for your fur babies. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and breeds, as well as giving medications to those who need special care. I work full-time, but I still have time to care for your pets! I am available weekday evenings 4pm-9pm and various weekend times to fit your needs! Pets are most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. While you are away, I will keep your pets on their normal routine and maintain cleanliness and safety of their space.
“Our sweet girl Hazel recently lost her brother very suddenly. She has been struggling with anxiety and associated behaviors pretty bad. We hired Emery for daily drop-in’s to give our girl a little extra TLC. Emery has been so patient with Hazel, gently coaxing her outside even when she doesn’t want to go, and even helping us to figure out what her new preferences are. We are grateful for Emery’s attention to detail, her compassion towards Hazel, and responsiveness to us considering Hazel’s changing needs.”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique needs and routine. I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention so pet parents can feel confident while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I have a part time and only work 2-3days a week so I have an open schedule to do a lot of caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that is playful with everyone.I will also follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
“Our kitties love having Veronica drop in when we go out of town for an extended weekend. The extra attention and play time make our time away less stressful on Kira & Ally.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.
“Jessica is AWESOME! We were first time customers, and we had a dog who is wary of strangers, this we were unsure how the visits would go. No worries; Jessica is a professional who provided numerous updates and pics to the nervous parents ha ha. I have already booked Jessica again and will continue to do so in the future. Again, AWESOME!!!! Thank you Jessica.”
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I understand the need for help when caring for your pets, and I would love to offer my help to make your lives a little easier and to ensure your pets are treated like family even when you're not around. I personally have my own dog and cat, and I know how it is leaving them when you are not around. I hope to bring comfort and ease of mind for you, knowing your fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I have occasionally helped neighbors and friends with their own. I am not scared to clean up messes and I have experience with administering oral and topical medications. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! In your own home, I will respect any rules you have for your pets and take care of your pet and your home as if it was my own. My schedule is very open and I am very flexible in working around your needs and schedule! I am in school but everything can be done remotely so I can stay home and hang with your pups! I make sure to keep a good eye on the pets, making sure they are safe and well taken care of. I want to bring comfort for your pets while you are away, loving them as my own! I will play with them if that’s what they like and also make sure to keep their routines as close to normal while you are away. I will also make sure to clean as we go and make sure when you return, you are returning to your home as you left it. I am more than willing to do chores around the house and also clean up after animals.
“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I also have worked at a dog kennel for 2 years. I clean kennels, feed, bathe, play, and love on animals all the time! I’m currently in PA school in Knoxville. Most days I’m in lecture 8-5 but everyday is different. If close enough to my school I can come during my lunch break and I can come after class as well. I am also open to the weekends! I can take your dogs on walks, I can play with them outside. I can easily crate them. I have handled all kinds of dogs: big, small, crazy, low-energy, etc.
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karns
My family recently got our puppy Honey. My fiance and I both work full time though so we wanted her to still be able to get out to go potty/get all the attention she needs during the days - since she's only 2 months. We found Evan here on the Rover app, met him and booked him for drop-in visits twice a day. Our Honey girl is thriving with the consistency and it's helped so much with the progress of her potty training just after 1 week! Evan is very kind, very respectful and we are very grateful for his services!! 🙌🏽🐶
Jessica was incredible with my new anxious cat. She was a life saver! She came over to do my new adopted cat’s ear drops for me because I was having a hard time and she was able to get my runner of a cat, wrap him up gently and administer the drops. So grateful for her help.

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.
