About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!
“Melissa was great with our dog Ash. She caree for him like her own and he had a great time while we were on vacation. She even cleaned up a little before we got back home. I will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone for their pets!”
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.
About: I have done on and off sitting since childhood, predominantly medium and big dogs as well as cats, however all are welcome! I can administer medicine with food, and take special time playing or cuddling your sweet baby! I have a very open schedule! Any requirements I have outside of taking care of your best friend I am able to do virtually and at any time of day, so it won't prevent me from the care they deserve. I can keep a close eye on your pet(s), and I'll make sure to play with them so they don't feel restless. I try to show up with as much love and care I am physically capable of. I've always been drawn to animals, (even more than humans sometimes lol) so believe me when I say that my top priority is making sure your pet(s) are happy and healthy with me!
“Lauren was awesome with our 2 fur babies!! I loved getting the pictures and seeing my dog play and have fun. Much better than boarding!! Will definitely use her again.”
“Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! We adore her. Teddy, our golden doodle puppy, was quite a handful at 4 months old when she started with us. He loved her from the start and she has been so patient with all of his puppy antics and sharp little teeth! It has given us so much peace of mind to have her caring as much about our little guy as we do. Wait until you hear about her foster work at home as well! She is just an all-around great person and animal lover. 6 out of 5 stars! We highly recommend!!!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job with my Chester! I looked forward to her updates everyday, as she left little notes about the kitty's demeanor. From the looks of, Lauren formed a nice bond with my Chester. I was completely at ease knowing that my cat was in the best of hands under her attentive care. Thank you again!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a deep love for pets and wild animals, alike. I have ample experience caring for a wide range of dog sizes, and I have experience fostering cats for Young Williams. I am patient and loving with even the timid pets. I am a graduate student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of pets during normal working hours for most people. I also have a car so I can drive different places, and I love being outdoors so I don’t mind spending a lot of time outside with your pet. I am very vigilant with my own pet as well as other people’s pets. I always make sure that they don’t eat any plants or objects that could potentially harm them. I also always make sure they stay hydrated and pay attention to their body language.
“She takes a ton of pictures and follows instructions exactly. She takes care of our dogs plus the added benefit of seeing our dogs have fun and be relaxed with her. It was a last minute request which she eagerly honored and we are so grateful that someone could check on our pups while we were away. It was such a last minute need (we stayed at the aquarium too long and needed someone to check on them the same day) and she fulfilled all our needs as well as went over the top to make sure we were informed of the care. I will be booking again if needed!”
“Bailey was absolutely amazing!! We felt so at ease and not worried about our dog while traveling for a week. She loved on him like he was her own and ensured he had lots of play time. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter. We so appreciated all the picture updates as well. We will absolutely hire her any time she is available! Cannot recommend Bailey enough!”
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.
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.
“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: 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.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrigan was absolutely amazing with Macy while we were on vacation! She stayed in touch with us throughout the entire trip, sent us pictures and updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we knew Macy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Being away from your pup can be stressful, but Terrigan made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Macy was in such great hands. It was obvious how much care and attention she gave Macy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We came home to a happy pup, and that says everything! We will absolutely use Terrigan again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their fur baby. Thank you so much, Terrigan! ❤️🐾”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karns
Bailey took great care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. Even though it rained most of the time, she ensured he got to play and get some energy out! She also administered his medication with no issues. Bailey took the initiative to tidy up a bit when she saw the house was getting dirty, even though she did not have to!
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.
