“LuCee looks like she had an amazing time today!!! Christine is always dependable and I can always tell when she visits. LuCee is always in a better mood!! It is such an awesome feeling to be able to relax knowing she is going to be extremely well taken care of!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all stages over the years and I am equipped to care for animals of every age. Most recently my dogs have entered senior status so I have lots of experience providing the care they need, but I am experienced with caring for puppies and adolescent animals as well. I am a student at UWL so I have a fairly flexible schedule. During the week my schedule varies with my class schedule but Thursday through Sunday I am most available, which is perfect for weekends away! I am unable to house animals in my home due to my landlord not allowing pets, so I will treat your animals and your home in a safe and respectful manner. I have pet-sat and babysat numerous times so I am a trustworthy and reliable source that will treat your pets with the care they need and deserve!
“I am beyond grateful for the time and dedication she put into assuring my fur babies were well taken care of and loved while we were gone on our first long vacation! She took amazing care of my kitties and I will most DEFINITELY be booking with her in the future ❤️”
“Ella responded quickly to my service request and set up the meet and greet so we could connect on the details of Maisy care. I appreciated Ella’s confidence about caring for Maisy, she asked questions to be sure she understood the details I was sharing. I will be reaching out again when I need Maisy care!”
“Sara did a great job with our boys. Theo's shots (diabetic) can be a bit intimidating, at first, and she handled them beautifully. In addition, Louie is quite wary of new people and by mid-week his photos show that he's comfortable enough to come out and supervise what she was doing. We'll undoubtedly be booking future visits and would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who's looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I have cared for and loved animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I am confident I can make your pet feel at home. I have prior experience watching everything from tiny Chihuahuas to 90 lbs German Shepherds. I am also highly experienced with anxious or nervous dogs and know how to give them the space and one-on-one time they need to warm up. I own a friendly, medium-sized dog named Raven who loves meeting new friends once they feel settled. To give you peace of mind, I send plenty of photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having! 😊 I work at an office in Winona from 6:30am–4:30pm Monday through Thursday. I work every other weekend (Friday through Sunday), meaning I am completely free for pet care on my alternating off-weekends. I am happy to provide extended boarding starting on my available weekends and lasting until the following Thursday. Please note that during the workweek (Monday through Thursday), I am away at the office all day, so your pet would need to be comfortable being left alone during my working hours. I do have a teenager that when home from school during the week can provide potty breaks. I recently moved into my own house on French Island, and my grandmother lives just a couple of blocks away. We have access to her fully fenced yard, and there is also a park about a block away from my house as well as many other open spaces to play. I will walk and feed your dog to your instructions and maintain their routine while staying under our care. I have experience watching a lot of anxious dogs, and every single one has warmed up eventually especially when they get one on one time the first 30–60 mins of their stay. It’s important to me that they are comfortable before introducing my pup Raven because new environments can be scary.
About: I love dogs & have been around them since I was a kid. I previously have fostered dogs and cats for the humane society. This included a reactive dog and a cat with FLV who required medicine every day. I also have my own dog who I love and care for everyday 🥰 I work from home & am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available both on weekdays & weekends. I usually prefer to walk dogs in the morning or evening. I am very gentle with animals and usually get them to cooperate with treats, toys, or praise (positive reinforcement). I let them get comfortable with me at their own pace & read their body language to see how they're feeling.
“Lindsay was beyond amazing, I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! She was very patient with my dog the first time she met her, and now they are the best of friends! She sent SO many adorable update photos and left sweet notes which made me feel reassured. This was my first time using a Rover sitter, and I plan on sticking with Lindsay for a long time to come!”
“Ashlyn was very affectionate with our pet. Even though it was the first time with her our kitty seemed relaxed and comfortable during Ashyln’s drop in visits. We received detailed updates along with pictures that made me feel connected with our pet even though we were far away. Meeting Ashlyn the first time for the meet and greet itself felt good and made me feel confident that our cat would be well cared for. We are so happy to have Ashlyn care for our cat and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ashlyn again!”
About: I grew up with three Labradors/lab mixes, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. I’ve spent 15+ years helping my mom with walking, feeding, playing with, and overall caring for our dogs, and I’ve also worked as a neighborhood dog sitter and walker. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle care for older dogs. I also just graduated PA school and am currently in the transition period before starting my first PA job, so I’m excited to use this time doing something I genuinely love such spending time with dogs! I’m very flexible and generally available any day of the week, depending on weather, so I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care when needed. I’m currently in between graduating PA school and starting my first PA job, which gives me a lot of free time that I love spending being active and caring for dogs. I currently live in an apartment with a turf fenced off area in the front of the building, so I am currently not offering pet-sitting, just dog walking for now.
About: Love all fur babies. Have been taken care of all sorts of critters since I was little. Love all shapes and sizes. Excited to start babysitting. I worksl from home full time and we are home most days. Walks and plenty of play time in our back yard would hapen all day. We have a nice big fenced in back yard and theee dogs and two cats that love to play. We love playing fetch and have lots of toys.
About: I love animals and share my life with my boyfriend, two cats, and a dog. Our home is filled with their playful energy and affection. For years, I've enjoyed dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family, finding joy in every wagging tail and happy bark. Animals bring such warmth and companionship, and I cherish every moment spent caring for them. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or taking long walks, they make life richer and more fulfilling. I am currently employed as an Athletic Trainer for Emplify Health (formerly Gundersen) for the past 6 years. As much as I love providing care for the student-athletes at Central High School, I also love providing care for animals! I am typically at work in the afternoons starting around 1:00pm so I am available in the mornings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available most weekends for pet care as well. My boyfriend and I currently have 2 cats and a dog that we care for. I take our dog, Daisy, on walks daily to ensure she is getting her exercises as needed. As a larger dog, I know the needs she has for her activity level. I have worked with her on commands as well since she was a puppy.
About: I’ve been housesitting and petsitting family and friend’s animals for about 10 years now and would love to assist in making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone :) I’m currently working part time throughout the week, therefore my schedule is open and available 7 days per week to assist in any way I can. I have experience working with pets that are crated, not crated, puppies, adults, require a fenced in backyard, walk on a leash, etc. in order to be prepared for any furry friend I may run into :)
“Laura was great, did a super job with our kitties. She is a fantastix photographer, we loved all the pics. Will definitely use her again. You can tell she ia an animal lover and kind soul to our babies, Louie and Molly.”
“Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready. We had 3 meet and greets with a dog that has been historically difficult to find sitters for and now for the first time we have someone we feel really safe with.”

Rhonda is our go to person for our little guy! Our cat enjoyed mealtimes and got playtime every day. She also sent us a couple of really nice videos, which was a great way to see how our pet was doing. Q remembers her and came out to see her, which is high praise for a cat! We'd gladly hire her again and recommend them to others.

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.
