“Liz once again took exceptional care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. So nice to be able to relax and not worry while away, glad we found her! Thanks again Liz:)”
About: I've had a variety of pets growing up but always love being around dogs. I don't mind cats. I have two pit bull mixes of my own right now wish I had the money and space to adopt more. I feel dogs need to be walked as much as possible and I would like to be the guy you can rely on to walk an important part of your family. Just like the dog in your life I can be just as loyal and always willing to please you the owner. I am available to walk your dog/dogs any day of the week with adequate notice. I don’t walk any dog past 8pm at night sorry I am a loving and respectful dog owner and caregiver of my own dogs and I will be the same way for you pets and home.
About: Over the years I have taken care of farm animals and my own fur babies such as cats, dogs, lizards, turtles, fish and horses. Animals are my passion and connect with them easily! I’m a work from home mom, currently on a leave of absence and would love to spend time with animals and teach my kids how kind and loving animals can be! I make sure that all pets have fresh food and fresh water daily! Exercise time when permitted! Lots of cuddles and kisses if tolerated by the animal!
“Kelli was awesome with the dogs. She visited them twice and gave them long walks and a little jog. She also gave us updates of her visit and how the dogs were doing. We will definitely use Kelli again and we highly recommend her!”
“2nd drop in visit for my dogs and Yenifer has been amazing, sending videos and checking in with me throughout her visit. She's been taking her time and has been working with my dogs who can be fearful and shy of strangers. Highly recommend!”

I look forward to serving you and your dogs!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, especially dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, so I’m just as happy cuddling with a lazy pup as I am playing with one who has endless energy. 🐾 I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—with lots of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and probably a little spoiling too. ❤️ I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or just some extra company and cuddles. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and boundaries, so I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’m attentive on walks, careful around doors and other animals, and will never put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾❤️
“I had a last minute work trip and was very hesitant as a 1st time Rover user. Especially, since I have a kitten and a senior cat with different personalities and needs. Angel was absolutely the best and kept excellent communication with me. Both cats were well taken care of, she was able to get pics of my shy senior under my bed and alerted me when 1 of my water foundations stop working. Incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover.”

About: Since age 4, I’ve had 2 dogs in my life. A dachshund named Buster and a Jack Russell terrier named Fiona. I grew up feeding them, walking them and caring for them. My brother has 2 dogs, an akita and chihuahua, that I take care of very frequently. I currently have a whippet/lab mix named Booker. I absolutely love dogs, and frequently volunteer at a local shelter! I would be more than eager to give your pup the love and care they need. I currently work 9-5 from home, but I am extremely flexible throughout my day. When I dog-sit, I usually take frequent walk and play breaks, making sure I give the pup the attention they need (and I need it to lol). I make sure to double check that every door in the house is shut. I check the floors and the edges of counter tops to make sure the pup cannot grab any food or item that could endanger them. I always keep any eye on the pup, and if I am working, I check on them frequently, or make sure they're in the same room as me so they know they are safe.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lacoochee
Ms Doris is the best! She’s taken care of our flock a few times now while we’ve traveled and she always knows what they need and how to handle our stubborn guys. Thankfully she’s always been available when we’ve needed her, even last minute. Ms Doris is our go-to caregiver!
I’m so grateful we found Doris to watch our three cats! She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of all of them. She sent us so many pictures and thoughtful daily updates, which made being away so much easier and gave us such peace of mind. Doris was incredibly communicative and really paid attention to all the little details that make each of our cats different. She took the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities and made sure each of them got the care and attention they needed. She truly went above and beyond, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to three very happy cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so thankful for her and would absolutely have her watch them again!

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.
