He sent us a couple pictures and our dog seemed happy and content when we arrived home. Will def book with Glen again!”

“We set up a drop in before having Clowee stay with our two Great Danes for the weekend. She was wonderful — she was warm, great with our two dogs, and she has experience with animals who need medication. Our dogs got on well with her right away—she asked great questions and was very open to caring for two high maintenance pups. We can’t wait for her to stay with them.”

She made sure to play with our youngest a ton to get that kitten energy out, and she was patient and comforting to our older (extremely shy) cat. We're so happy with our experience with Lynn and we'll definitely be calling on her next time we need a sitter. Thanks Lynn!!”

About: I have grown up with both small and large dogs as well as puppies. I also have a cat of my own for five years. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can leave on breaks to go check on them or stay at your house overnight to watch them. I live very close to walking trails to take them on walks. I can stay at your place to make sure someone is there to keep them company. I am open to walk/play with them as much as they need. I will take care of them like they are my own pet.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.

“I am ecstatic with Mandy's help with my dog, Jesus. He is naturally timid and he has warmed up to her in less than a week, even after a cross country move. When I come home from work, I can tell that a responsible, caring person has paid him a visit because he is relaxed and happy. Mandy is very quick to respond and communicates very well. I would highly recommend Mandy and greatly appreciate her support!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life—starting with the Dobermans I helped raise as a kid and even a pet pig who thought he was one of the dogs. I’ve worked in the veterinary field, where I learned to safely give medications, handle pets of all temperaments, and notice the small details that keep them healthy and happy. I’ve also worked at Petco, caring for everything from fish and birds to reptiles and small mammals, and I regularly help my neighbor with her pup for walks and playtime. My family has a long history of fostering animals for a local rescue, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, gentle company, or extra care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.🐾 I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, during the school year, which allows me to be available in evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active, and spending that time with dogs is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. I always follow each pet’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment by making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely regarding schedules, medications, routines, and behavior needs. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I monitor for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior and communicate updates with the owner as needed. I also keep litter boxes, cages, feeding areas, and walking equipment clean and sanitary. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. For cats and other pets, I make sure they receive appropriate feeding, enrichment, and a calm environment suited to their needs. Safety is always a priority, including secure doors, leashes, and supervision around other animals or hazards.

Sara is an absolute angel - she was able to book last minute due to a personal emergency and did absolutely wonderfully with my 2 cats. Sara earned the trust of my shy girl who usually hides for anyone other than me. 1000% recommend if you are looking for someone who actually cares for your pets as if they were her own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kickapoo

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.
