“Brayden did an amazing job with our pup! It was so nice to see her happy when we got back from our trip. Will definitely see if Brayden is available next time. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and I have experience taking care of dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own. I know the patience and time it takes to care for pets. Dogs are not just pets, they are family members with their own unique personalities. I am here to help you because I know it takes a community to care for pets. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I can let your pup outside for potty breaks, feed them, give them water, or take them on walks. I am here to offer and extra hand when you need it.
“Sierra is the best sitter I’ve found on Rover and will be my primary sitter going forward. She sent pictures every visit, she met my senior kitty where she is, which is usually under the bed, she provided feedback on Nico’s behavior and was in communication with me every day. I was able to relax knowing my cat was being cared for in such a loving way. Sierra genuinely cares about the animals she’s helping and the difference is immeasurable. Highly highly recommend.”
About: On my 13th birthday I got a puppy and I have been an avid dog lover since. I house-trained him, stayed up with him when he was crying, and taught him lots of tricks! Since then, I have always had some sort of animal in my house, whether it be a dog, cat, or hedgehog! Due to my known love for ALL critters, I have been a dependable pet sitter for many folks throughout the years. Whether it be friends, extended family, or even friends of a friend - I have been trusted to love and care for many animals. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Right now I am only booking house-sitting gigs where I can bring my senior chihuahua with me. When you send me a message, let me know what works for you so that we may set up a meet & greet! I primarily dogsit and have a supplemental part-time job. This flexibility allows me to work with you and your pet to make sure they are getting the maximum amount of attention and love. I will love your pet like my own. I like to send daily updates with photos to not only quell your worries, but so that you can see your creature is doing well. I WILL be prioritizing jobs where I can bring my dog with me. I understand in some circumstances, it will not be a good fit for her to come with me, which is understandable.
“She’s is great with our two dogs even though they are crazy! She is very good at communicating and giving updates. She was willing to meet with us beforehand so we felt comfortable. Really wonderful and will definitely use her again for future trips. Our dogs love her!!”
“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute and was so grateful that Luca was available! From the start, communication was excellent—she kept me updated regularly and let me know right away if anything came up. I really appreciated the picture updates of my dogs; it was so reassuring to see them happy and well cared for. Luca was reliable, responsive, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch your pups!”
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
“Raina was a wonderful sitter for our kitties! Her drop in updates had us laughing and missing our cuties. We would recommend her to anyone needing a caring and attentive sitter for their pets. Thanks, Raina!”
“Ashley was amazing! After we did our meet and greet, I had the best feeling about her, and I was right. My dogs absolutely adore her and did so good under her care. Her check-ins were always informative and had the best pictures of my crew. This made my trip much more enjoyable. This was my first experience with Ashley, and it definitely won't be the last. My dogs and I have found our new favorite dog sitter :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years, from cats to giant dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and have had cats in the past, so I understand the individual needs of each animal. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working part time, 3 days a week! My schedule changes week to week, but I am open and flexible to changing my schedule! I can easily crate or move your dogs if I need to! I am eager to earn their trust and am willing to bribe them with treats. I understand each pet has different needs and I am adaptable to them!
About: I have two cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and ages, from tiny kittens to big goofy pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle duty, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe. Hi! I’m an animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My schedule is really flexible, which means I’m around during the day and in the evenings to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, and snuggles. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extra playtime, I’ve got them covered. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and routines to keep them secure, and I make sure they’re comfortable in a calm, loving environment. You’ll always get updates so you know your furry friend is happy and safe.
“Bailey was an amazing dog sitter! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My doggos were clearly well taken care of and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again in the future!”
“Candy took great care of our two elderly pups while we were on vacation. She was reliable, on time, gave updates regularly, and had great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pups. My pups need some extra care in their senior years and Candy handled everything from medication to doggy diapers. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs big and small, from my neighbors to friends who have trusted me with feeding and walking their dogs. I'm currently opening up my weekends to have open availability for more time with your pets I'm also able to come to your home as well I am good with all pets and able to send pictures and videos of your fur babies through out the day i also have space for crates
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a sophomore in college and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, and chickens my family!

I would highly recommend Shana! She was absolutely amazing and did such a great job keeping me updated on how my fur babies were doing and what they were up to during her drop-in visits. She also sent lots of pictures, which I loved! It made my heart so happy seeing how happy and comfortable they were with her. I trust her with them wholeheartedly and will definitely be booking her again for any future drop-in visits! 🐾❤️

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.
