“Mimi and our dog Schultz hit it off so well. She took excellent care of our 4 legged toddler. I would recommend her and Schultz is looking forward to seeing her again!”
“I cannot thank Kevin enough. He jumped in last minute during an emergency and kept me updated every step of the way. He was super prepared at all times and very kind. My kitties were thrilled with his care and happy and healthy when I returned. Thanks so much Kev-- you'll hear from me again!”
“We cannot recommend Kelly enough! She was such an essential part of allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. She did an incredible job taking care of our two shy kitties and was so patient and attentive with them. We absolutely loved receiving all of her updates and pictures while we were away. Knowing they were safe and well cared for gave us such great peace of mind. This was our first time leaving them, so we were understandably a little nervous, but Kelly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. We would not hesitate for a second to leave them in her care again. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!”
About: Hello! I am a stay at home mom of 2 looking for opportunities to take care of your fur babies. I have at least a decade of experience taking care of pets and animals. I am trustworthy, quick to respond, hardworking, devoted and compassionate. I am looking forward to helping with your fur babies! As a stay at home mom, most of my availability is in the weekends and afternoons/evenings. As a pet owner myself, I am constantly taking care of my cats, ensuring they are well taken care of and thriving. I will follow all rules laid out by the pet owner and any guidelines they have for taking care of their pets. As far as in my home, I have a fenced in backyard and reliable vehicle.
“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was born. I grew up walking, feeding, bathing, and loving my first two dogs—a Chocolate Lab and a giant Weimaraner. Since those two, my pet family expanded to a Yellow Lab, a rescue mutt (Australian Kelpie), a Hound mix, an Australian Shepherd-Pitbull mix, a Great Dane, a Pomeranian, a three-legged rescue dog, three horses, five goats, two pigs, three mini horses, and a cat. Throughout my life, I’ve helped to take care of each and every pet that we’ve had. While it’s not always easy, I love every second of it. I am home from college for the summer (May-August), so I will be very flexible and available to help out you and your pets :) I will always make sure your fur baby is happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my care, your pet will always be my top priority. I will never take any job that I cannot 100% commit to.
About: Life can be hectic, and we always want what's best for our animals, including a reliable sitter! I have been taking care of dogs most of my adult life, from my own rescue pup to family and friend drop-ins visits with their loveable four-leggeds. I specialize in walks and drop-in visits. I would love to meet your happy pup! I'm currently working seasonally, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup(s)! I'm available Tues-Fri 11am-6pm, and Sat-Mon during these same hours on occasion. If your pup is in need of a drop-in visit, I will make sure to give them some active play time (weather inside or out), use the potty, and feed if he/she is in need of some kibble. If your pup is in need of some outdoor walk time, just show me the leash and we'll head right out the door with poop bags ready - just in case :)
“Jada was awesome and was completely unfazed when our dog chewed her flipflop while we were introducing ourselves. Mortifying for us but she was great. We would love to have her back to take care of our cat.”
About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.
About: Not only have I had pets ever since I was little but I have been taking care of them. Friends and family have come to me time and time again to board, walk, bathe or just give their dog some fun for a couple hours! Growing up we raised golden puppies so I have lots of experience with puppies and their needs. I used to work at a dog grooming shop, so handling any type of personality is no problem for me. I love getting outside with any furry friend for some fun as well! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty malleable to help out with pets. Weekends vary depending on the time of year. Happy to work it out at booking. I live in a house and am around to take your pet outside for multiple walks throughout the day. I can also crate them if need be. I do have a kitty so animals need to be able to get along with a cat.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with a Golden and after he passed, my two old girls, a Pyrenees and a Bernese. When these girls were just little pups I fell in love with training and took a few online courses. Now they know how to do a handful of tricks including bowing and jumping through hoops. I even introduced those talking buttons to the Berner when she was about 4 years old! During high school I volunteered at a ranch, which had working dogs like your border collie, and I also worked at a dog ranch. The dog ranch was where I got a lot of experience with dogs really quick. From 3lbs Chihuahuas to 160lbs Great Danes, I’ve managed a lot! Here I would walk the dogs on leash twice daily one at a time. If I wasn’t walking dogs I was either feeding them, giving them their medication, or cleaning. I have also had plenty of experience house sitting. Since I grew up in a small farm town, many of my friends had dogs and cats that needed to be taken care of while they were gone; so I was the lucky one who got to take care of their critters! I grew up in a small town in Alberta (Canada) and just graduated University with a degree in Psychology. I hope to somehow incorporate my love for psychology and my love for animals into a career. I’m not too sure exactly what that would look like, but I am interested in therapy dogs. Currently, however, my goal is to eliminate my student loans. I am working full time but since I am working both day and night shifts I have a lot of days off too. And during those days I hope to take care of some of your pups! My/my parent’s doggos are back in Alberta and I miss them so much. It’s one of the more difficult parts of being away from home. However, I currently live with my brother’s high-energy German shepherd. We play fetch, go on hikes, and if I sit to watch a movie she’ll beg to play but then settle down to cuddle. She’s a great pupper. As for your pups, whatever you and your dog needs I’ll do my very best to accommodate! Walks, cuddles, play time, training routines, etc. you name it.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kings Station
Carolyn was very professional, trustworthy, and caring doing drop ins with my cat, Marvin. During the meet and greet she proactively asked about so many things I hadn’t even thought of to make sure Marvin was well taken care of. She loved on him and made me feel at ease while away! I definitely recommend Carolyn and will be happy to have her watch Marvin again in the future!

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.
