About: I've owned senior dogs through end-of-life care, including daily medication and mobility support, and understand the patience senior dogs need to feel safe. I also enjoy active playtime with younger, playful dogs. I'm comfortable with house-trained routines across a variety of breeds and sizes. I work remotely Monday through Friday running my own business, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. As long as I have Wi-Fi, I can work from your home, allowing me to be present throughout the day. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and can adjust the timing to fit your pet’s feeding, medication, or daily routine. I take safety seriously in your home - checking fencing, gates, and potential escape routes, and staying alert to pets who are talented at getting into things or slipping out unnoticed. I've cared for a mischievous, escape-prone dog myself, so I don't underestimate what a determined pet can get into. I follow your instructions on whether a pet can be left alone and for how long, along with feeding, medication, and any other safety concerns. Your home stays secure while you're away, and your pet stays in a familiar, low-stress environment with consistent care.
“Enih responded to me when I was in a real bind-I needed a walker the same day and the walk was for the 9:30pm time slot. That in and of itself says something special about a person. My dog took to her right away and Enih kept in touch during the walk including sending an adorable picture. I will definitely ask for her again as my dog needs three walks a day.”
“Amber had great communication with us while we were away, and everything is fine at home--the cats are acting like "oh, you again", so everything went well. Would definitely ask to sit again.”
“Linda was great. She followed the laundry list of instructions I left, and let me know if she had any questions. She made an effort to win over my 3cats…and two accepted her quickly. Unfortunately, my anxious cat didn’t buy it, LOL. Hoping that next time, he will remember hard and come out of hiding.”
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.
About: Experience raising both a dog and a cat, along with volunteering at shot clinics, I have worked at a pet store, and I currently work with dogs daily at a doggy daycare. I’m skilled in handling pets of all ages, from ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. I am available for pet care for dogs & cats on Monday through Friday 9am-9pm. Experienced, reliable, loving care including walks, playtime, feeding, updates, and photos! I provide care by visiting your home, ensuring your pets are comfortable in their own environment. I follow your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to keep your pets happy and stress free.
“We had an emergency and asked Haley to stop in very last minute and late at night to make sure our pet was okay. Haley responded immediately and checked on our home to make sure our animals were safe. We are so grateful to have a sitter as caring as Haley. 🙏🏻”
“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats. Currently I’m working part-time, but I’m also looking to go full time in the near future. With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.
“Imani was very professional. She asked me detailed questions to assure that she knew how to relate to my dog who is an old lady. She was quick to respond and carried her duties just as she said she would. I was hesitant to let someone in my home but after working with her, I will definitely use Rover again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes since I was seven, providing walks, baths, playtime, feedings, and basic training sessions. My deep compassion and commitment to animals’ well-being sets me apart. I tailor my care to each pup’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether offering patience to a nervous dog, engaging an energetic pup, or providing comfort to a senior pet, I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I understand how important trust is for pet parents, so I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, kindness, and reliability. I prioritize trust, comfort, and, most importantly, safety when caring for pets. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously and pay close attention to the little details that help each animal feel secure and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. I carefully follow household and care instructions and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I want every pet in my care to genuinely enjoy their time with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in my care. For boarding, dogs will have access to designated sleeping areas equipped with ample blankets, stuffed toys, fresh water, and a nighttime treat to help them settle in comfortably. They will also enjoy designated play areas both indoors and outdoors, along with access to nature trails for scheduled walks. There are also dedicated areas for sunbathing and shaded spots for relaxation. For daycare, all amenities are available except for a nighttime sleeping area, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience throughout the day. Dogs will have space for exercise, play, nap time, and entertainment, with a designated bath area available in case of emergencies. I am located near a quiet, hidden park and a dog park, allowing for safe and enjoyable outings. Additionally, my setup provides enough space to prevent overcrowding, ensuring each dog receives individualized attention and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Ehuniz is the first pet sitter we had through Rover and she did an awesome job. She immediately acted with professionalism at our first meeting. She took care of our 2 cats for 1 week during the Christmas Season. She came to our house twice a day and was amazingly on time every time. She spent 30 full minutes each time to feed/play with the cats and clean the litter box. She even spent time to send us several pictures which was not expected but much appreciated! Not to mention that she is very easily reachable and ultra responsive. We are already in touch with her to not miss the chance to have her taking of the cats again and also of our dog for January!!!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and that passion shows in the way I care for each pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, gentleness, and extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine—I offer evening and weekend availability. I prioritize communication and make sure each pet gets quality attention and care. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly small dogs, and we keep a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structured routines. I ensure all pets feel comfortable, loved, and part of the pack.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
I highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker. I have known Latoya for about four years because she lives in my community, and I have seen firsthand how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I often see her walking her own dog, Chosen, throughout the community. Chosen is always friendly, well behaved, and clearly very well cared for, which made me feel completely comfortable trusting Latoya with my two dogs. Since hiring Latoya through Rover, she has done an excellent job. She communicates with me before arriving and again after she leaves, keeps me updated, and sends photos through the Rover app so I can see how my dogs are doing. That level of communication gives me great peace of mind when I am away from home. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. They are comfortable and happy around her, and it is obvious that Latoya treats them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She is reliable, responsible, professional, and someone I completely trust in my home and with my dogs. When you trust someone with your pets, you want to know they are being cared for by someone who will treat them like their own, and that is exactly what Latoya does. I feel fortunate to have someone I know and trust taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for dog walking or pet care services through Rover. She has earned my trust, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.
Danielle was very pleasant and great with Butter! She did a check-in visit to feed and walk him, Butter was in great hands, she made sure he was fed, exercised, and gave some companionship while we were away. Her communication was prompt, along with updates. I will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again when Butter need another visit!
Rita is an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my two kitties, Bear and Mimi, and always treats them like they’re her own. She empties their litter box daily, makes sure all of their needs are met, and gives them so much love, attention, and affection while I’m away.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
