About: As a certified veterinary assistant, I have a strong background in animal care and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting to ensure your pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re out of town or at work. Whether your pets need a quick walk, a play session, or just some companionship, I am here to provide a trustworthy, compassionate experience. My goal is to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible in their own home, and I’ll always follow your instructions to keep their routines as normal as possible. I know how important it is to have someone reliable care for your pets, and I am dedicated to giving them the attention and love they need while you’re away. Pet care is something I incorporate into my daily routine because I truly love spending time with animals. I currently manage my schedule around my pet sitting commitments and ensure that I have dedicated time each day to provide care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to keep a flexible schedule that accommodates their needs. For example, if I have scheduled visits, I plan my day so I can arrive on time, ensure the pets get the exercise, feeding, and attention they need, and then follow up with updates for the owners. Whether I’m caring for pets in the morning, during the day, or evening, I’m organized and reliable, and I ensure each pet’s routine is followed. When taking care of pets, I ensure to follow owners instructions closely, provide regular updates to clients, ensure the pet’s safety and well-being at all times, maintain a clean environment, and engage in activities that cater to the pets need’s and preferences.
About: It is very important for any pet to engage in daily activities and to be loved, specifically when they are away from their family. Patience and love is the key to make them feel at home. My family is involved in helping pets feel at home and in taking care of their needs. Depending on the age and the specific care needed, every pet will be in good hands in my house. I usually work with repeated customers that know that their pets are now part of my family. They are testimony of the excellent care and great communication that are part of my services. I will work my daily routine and schedule to be able to care for them. My husband helps when I’m not at home and my daughters love to take dogs on walks I have a fenced yard that is safe for daily activities. There is an open park a block from the house where we go for more open space
“Emily is absolutely amazing and a life saver when it comes to my accident prone lab pup! She is also very caring and treats my girl like her own :) My girl is always tired when she gets home and I can tell by the pictures and videos I get she really enjoys her time. I definitely recommend her for anyone who needs a compassionate animal lover who will become your pets new best friend!”
“Was quick to respond, very helpful in making sure thay not only was my doggy OK, but that i turned off my hot hair tool! Will be reaching out again for any other visits in the future :)”
“Alexis was an awesome pet sitter for our finicky cat, Finn. She was super friendly, and communicative with us and very patient with Finn. Having her drop in to take care of him for us was a huge help while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and we will definitely book with her again in the future 😊”
“Patience was wonderful with our dog, Gretchen, who tends to have a hard time when we are away. She updated us with pictures which we really appreciated. We will definitely use Patience in the future and will recommend her to our friends!”
About: I lost my 18 year old pug in January 2022😢. Looking forward to spending time with a furry friend again! Big or small dogs welcome! I work close to home and my husband works from home on most days. We are professionals with flexible schedules. We can work around your needs. We currently have no pets but a nice big house in the country and a yard with a creek and various options for going on walks! No busy streets around here!
About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.
“Adam is a gift sent from Heaven! He took wonderful care of our cats, sent us daily updates and photos, and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation! He will always be our first choice for a sitter!”
About: I've always had lots of love for pets since a young age. Growing up my family had a house of 2 dogs and 3 cats, which means a lot of bowls to be filled, yard and litter box to be cleaned, and snuggles to be given and received at the end of the night. My on-hand experiences have ranged since 2017 with my own pet sitting clients, worked as a receptionist at a vet local hospital, and as a caretaker at Petco. I understand the importance of treating pets as if they were my own. Safety, comfortability, and attention are my top priorities when I'm responsible for your beloved furry ones. I am a fresh graduate. My most recent schedule is 6am to 4:30pm Mon-Thurs in the Hellam township area. I am very available and more open Friday, Saturday and Sunday all day. In the past, I had my own senior cat (Sapphire) who I loved and cared for every day for 3 years until she passed onto the rainbow bridge. I personally understand how that bond and connection feels. Although my present living situation at an apartment doesn't allow pets, for the past two years I've been housesitting at my clients' homes. I respect and follow the guidelines of each and every one. During most of client's departure, I've collected or separated mail, trash is out on time, and ensured the home is cleaned for when they return. I enjoy sending daily updates through texting, photos, or videos to the owner with our activities from playing, walking, feeding and napping. Clear communication with dietary, medication, grooming and other needs is my responsibility. I will do everything to the best of my abilities to ensure a stress-free time for my clients and their pets.
About: You can relax, knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and we’ll give them the very best care! I also have years of experience pet sitting, as well as, dog walking. We have fostered so many amazing pups and love to make their lives better. I’m home Monday through Friday so your pup will never be alone. I have had several clients that I enjoyed working with very much. I provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention. I have a large fenced in yard, your pup will have full access to. They will be let out several times a day and played with. I have three small pups of my own, all under 35 pounds. I take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. There is also have a separate space to give new pups the opportunity to have alone time.
“Chiara was absolutely fantastic with our baby! Very timely visits, amazing photos, and thorough updates! Definitely will be using her services again when we go out of town!”

Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash
Misty was so great to our animals, our dog was barking at the first visit(we could hear her through our ring camera) but Misty took her time and made Clove feel safe. She came over to meet our dog and cat before we even left and she was so pleasant and nice to chat with. You can tell she has a heart for the animals that she works with and I would recommend her to anyone that asks! Great Job Misty!!!💯

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.
