“This was our first time using Rover and Sam & Angela. We felt totally comfortable leaving our pups with them. They truly love what they do and it shows in every way. Very caring & nurturing! They definitely go the extra mile to care for your pets. Thanks to all!!”
“Amanda is fantastic! She was communicative, on time and we could tell from the pictures that McCoy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Amanda, we hope to book with you again!”
“Sierra did a fantastic job with our 14 year old dog!!!! She stayed a little extra and made sure he felt plenty of love and care!! Hands down i will use her again in the future!!!!!”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“Rebecca is wonderful! I could tell our dogs were comfortable with her after the first meeting. She kept us updated during the drop in visit & even sent pictures. We are new to the area & so relieved that we found Rebecca! We definitely plan on using her services in the future 😊”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
“I can enjoy myself and not worry about my fur babes when I have Miguel and Marifer come to visit. The care and individual attention they give to each of my fur babes cannot be matched. I would recommend them to anyone who treats their animals like family.”
About: I’ve cared for animals since the age of five and have been passionate about learning and loving all creatures in all their forms. I have mostly worked with big dogs and farm animals but have recent experience with smaller dogs and cats. I’ve worked on a farm and taken care of various pets and currently take care of my friends pets when they are out of town. I am available any day after 4pm and willing to flex my schedule if needed. I can work with your schedule if you and your pet child are in urgent need! I pet sit for several friends and have been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm and have a strong bond with nature and all creatures.
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
About: I have had many animals through the years and tend to easily bond with animals I don’t know yet. I am not formally trained but will adhere to training guidelines if asked so that your pet doesn’t develop bad habits while under my care. I have a 16 year old cat, that I’ve had since he was a kitten, and he is well mannered and gets along well with cats and dogs. He is social. I run my own business and generally only have to go into work on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. That leaves me the other days of the week available for Care an eager to have a furry friend to play with. I have a 16 year-old cat who is very social and gets along well with both cats and dogs. I have a fenced in yard to play in. I will adhere to your training guidelines in order to maintain healthy habits in your pet. I am the only human in my home so I will be able to give your animal my full attention. I am available for walks, overnight stay or babysitting and can do it at either my home or your home.
About: I’m a devoted dog owner to two pups and although I am new to Rover I do have experience with dog sitting/ walking for pets outside of my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to give them attention, patience, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a happy, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m happy to provide walks, check-ins, and in-home sitting whenever your pet needs attention and companionship. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow all schedules and instructions closely, give lots of attention, and treat both pets and homes with respect.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped care for family pets, including feeding, walking, bathing, and giving them lots of attention and love. I’ve also pet sat for my cousin’s dog and cat, where I was responsible for their daily routines, walks, feeding, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owner was away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine and make them feel safe in a new environment. I’m comfortable with different dog sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets get the care, exercise, and affection they need. I have a flexible schedule (work remotely) and can be available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s specific routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure and cared for in their own home. I’m attentive on walks, aware of my surroundings, and experienced navigating busy NYC streets safely with dogs. I’ll treat your home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.

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.
