“Hailey did a fabulous job watching our dogs (and kitten!) from start to finish. She communicated well and was very helpful and kind to all of our pets. She was also flexible and thorough. We would certainly love to have her watch our pets again. She gave us great peace of mind knowing everyone at home was happy and well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Kavya was great with my three little monsters, who each have very distinct and different personalities. They all loved her though! I was very comfortable having Kavya in my home. She gave thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. Fantastic pet sitter! Will be keeping her on speed dial for future needs!”
“Kelsey is reliable and takes great care of our pup. She has a great response time and has always come through for us and taken great care of our dog and our home when we’re away. Very helpful and professional, I would highly recommend her!!”
About: Hello! My name is Stephanie, but I also go by Steph. I have 4 years dog grooming experience and I also have 5 years experience working at an emergency vet facility in the Washington, PA area. I accept any and all dogs for walking and boarding at your home. I have experience as well with dogs who need daily medications and treatment. That does not scare me! I am very partial to English Bulldogs, Boxers, Frenchies, Mastiffs, and Huskies! All breeds I have, or have had experience with. I look forward to meeting your four legged family member and treating them with the all the care and love they deserve! I am currently waiting to start school in September and am available 24/7 or whenever needed. After that I will be working 40 hours a week and will he available in the evenings at that time. I have a HUGE fenced in yard of my own, and three crazy dogs I care for daily as well. I would offer to sit dogs in my home, but my English Bulldog is very territorial and protective. It's best to watch your furry loved one at your home.
“So glad I selected Susan to care for my fur babies! She genuinely cares, great communication and flexibility and always goes above and beyond! Having recently moved to the area I was concerned when I travel, not anymore! Thank you Susan for piece of mind and caring for my boyz”
About: I spend my time taking care of my 3 (yes, 3!) dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I also love making new furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.
“Wendi was awesome and my babies loved her!! Especially the little treat ball she left for them. My Maine Coon brings it to me now when it’s empty so I can fill it back up!! Will definitely rebook with Wendi every vacation I go on! ❤️”

About: I have experience with cats, Dogs, birds, and even pet rats! I treat every animal as if it were my own and love on all with my whole heart. I work full time. My hours vary but I typically don't work first thing in the morning or very late in the evening. I also have weekends off as well. I am very flexible and willing to fit my schedule around your needs. 🤗 I treat every pet as if would treat my own. My boys have their own diets with a vitamin powder they get on top of their food. I provide filtered water and one of my boys does get an inhaler twicea day for his asthma.
About: I have grown up with pets as a child to the time I came to college. In my childhood and early teen years, my family has owned a cat. In my mid-teen years, my family decided to own a dog! I have also volunteered at an animal shelter while in high school! I work full-time as a caseworker worker and I am looking for a second means of income that I love. I love meeting new people and their pets! I am able to ensure they have food, water and have gone potty before I leave for work, check in with them while on my lunch break and enjoy their company after work! We let my dog roam around in the house most of the time, however if we will be gone for an extended period of time (day trips), we will put her in a crate with a blanket, food, water and a toy to play with along with the television on in the background.
About: Hi! I am Katelyn- a wife, a mom of four kids, and a life long animal lover. I truly believe pets are part of the family. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and over the years I’ve fostered countless animals and spent time working in animal rescue. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like I would my own. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to shy or nervous pets, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐾❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom and have open availability when my husband is not at work. He is currently working from home due to the corona virus! This can change in the future, but currently I am available and happy to help! I am not able to do home services at my home at this time due to our Denver boy not getting along well with others!
“Austin was a huge help in a pinch when I had a long stretch of work and needed someone reliable to walk Teemo. He stepped in on short notice and did a great job — Teemo came back happy, energized, and clearly very pleased with her adventure. Would definitely book with him again!”
About: I share my home with 5 cats and a 3 legged dog. The dog has developed a number of special needs as she's aged. I am experienced in giving meds and using doggy wheelchair. I care for own fur babies daily and volunteer at a shelter once a week. Everyone gets individualized attention, their favorite foods and lots of pets. I am happy to provide the type and amount of attention that you request for your fur baby. I can administer meds if needed and walk dog on schedule.
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I’ve been around many types of dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, cats, and more. I’d love to give your pets the care they need and want, and definitely spoil them with some loving and treats (with permission). My work schedule varies but I’m very good with time management and I’d love to fit you into my schedule! My classes start back up in August so after that, my schedule will be more limited. I have a very big fenced in yard. I play with my animals regularly, feed them, clean up after them. I’d love to do the same with your animals.
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! *** Depending on my work schedule, pick up/drop off’s during the week are available after 5:30p. At times, If I am working from home, I may be able to accommodate earlier. During the weekends, for the most part I am flexible for AM/PM pick up/drop off’s. I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
“Dana is highly competent and caring. She handles my kitties’ medications as well as feeding them. (None of them are are currently on injections, but she can do those too). The cats love her.”
“Ashley treated our pups like family. I admit that we baby them!! And she did too! She was very caring about each one of their special circumstances and special needs, very accommodating, and conscientious. We could not be happier that we found her here on Rover. Next time we need to go out of town, we will be so happy for our pups to enjoy visits from Ashley again.”
“Abbigail was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt comfortable, trusting her with my baby. He can be shy sometimes, but he enjoyed his walk with her. I will happily book her again.”

Kelsey has watched our pups and cat several times now. She’s is extremely attentive and a great communicator. It’s been reassuring after recently moving to this area and to know that she will take great care of our animals. We will continue to be return customers with Kelsey!!!

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.
