About: I have had my dog, Saraphina for 13 amazing years. She is what sparked my love for animals. I want the best for her as do I for every animal out in the world. I volunteer at Rolling River Rescue to help dogs find a home and walking them as much as possible. I walk my dog everyday as well as feeding her day and night. I give her lots of love as would I for any pet. Whenever I am not working, I volunteer at petsmart for Rolling River Rescue on saturdays. I will be able to care for your pet because I know that animals need patience and time to adapt to new people or surroundings. I want to give your pet the peace of mind that they are safe and not alone when their favorite person can’t be there. I have helped many animals that do not have homes open up to humans and receive the love they deserve.
“Kay was WONDERFUL! My animals loved her! We loved her! She took great care of my babies and took lots of great pictures which I loved! I will be using Kay in the future for sure!”
“Hailey is very professional. She comes on schedule, fulfills all tasks that we'd agreed on ahead of time, adapts to new developments and informs me immediately when something changes. (The only issue was the spare key didn't work, which was totally my fault, but we were able to get it sorted through good communication.) As an added bonus, she takes very cute photos of my cats, and I could tell from those that my more shy cat was warming up to her after only a short time. I highly recommend her.”
“I highly recommend Tenashia to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Their dedication and love for dogs are truly unmatched, and I will definitely be booking their services again in the future. Thank you, Tenashia, for taking such wonderful care of Ruger and Willow!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. While I was stationed at Fort Polk, many of my fellow Soldiers would go on leave, travel home for the holidays, or be away for training. Since I stayed in Louisiana and did not travel because I purchased my home here, I was often happy to help by caring for their pets. I would feed them, take them on walks, play with them, exercise them, make sure they had fresh water, and give them plenty of attention until their owners returned. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I am CPR certified, physically fit, dependable, and treat every animal like family. I have a spacious home where pets have room to relax and feel comfortable, and I will always make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. As a 1099 contractor, my hours vary, which gives me the ability to work around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday check-in, evening care, or overnight attention, I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important consistency is, and I am committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. My wife and I have rescued stray cats and cared for numerous animals over the years, so we understand the patience and attention every pet deserves. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you have. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving excellent care.
About: Loving and reliable pet care for your fur babies! You can book with confidence with me! I have spent years caring for my own dogs while also learning proper care and training from my granddaughter who works in veterinary medicine. I am passionate about giving your pets a loving home away from home. I am retired and spend most of my days working around my house with my two yorkies. I have a fenced in yard that we spend alot of our day in. My neigherborhood is very quiet and does not have a lot of traffic, I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to play safely. For cats, I have a safe and quiet room that they can have to themselves away from my two yorkies, but the yorkies have been around cats before and are okay with them.
“Always a great experience. They are amazing sitters. Very thorough, responsive, and on time EVERYTIME. I am a satisfied repeat customer and will continue to use them in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those that need a little extra TLC, as I took care of my baby who needed special care from time to time for her joints, so I am good with prescriptions and anything your fur baby may need. Very experienced sitting for family and friends. I have 1 pup and 1 cat here at my home, that my boyfriend and I love dearly. I would be happy to make sure your pet has the best experience with me (and all of the cuddles, of course!) I work part-time as an insurance agent for Brad Markerson State Farm, and am currently in nursing school. I can swing by your home on my lunch break if in your area, or can make your pet my first priority after hours. I care for my own pets as of right now, but I give them baths regularly, make sure they are brushed, and only feed them the most nutritious options out there. My boyfriend and I will take them on walks at Moncus Park, etc. I have taken care of many friend’s and family’s fur babies, and would love to give your baby extra attention and love.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I currently have a cat of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they were away, including overnight stays. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, meals, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🥰 I work Monday–Thursday, so my availability is mainly in the evenings and on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can plan ahead for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I’m especially flexible on Fridays and weekends and will always communicate my availability clearly when booking. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always treat them as I would my own. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines, and I’ll make sure your pet has everything they need while you’re away. Additionally, I will keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands!
“Grayson did a fabulous job caring for my 2 cats and 1 dog. She came to my house twice a day to check on them. My pets are quirky but they loved Grayson. She was gentle and had a lot of patience with them. I would highly recommend her!”
“Reaghan did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was out of town! She kept in touch and sent me adorable pictures of my cat being active and happy so I didn't have to worry while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was so generous with her time over the busy holiday season. Would definitely book again!”
“Tessa came to check on my pets at the precise times I needed her to; on top of that, she was a very consistent communicator while I was away! I’m glad I booked with her and look forward to doing so again 🖤 10/10 recommend”
“Ashely is so sweet and you can tell she definitely loves animals! She has great communication skills and sends me the cutest pictures while I am at work when she checks on my puppy.”
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes. My dogs are both over 55 pounds and full of energy. I can handle any energy level as well. I look forward to working with you and your dogs in the near future! I am a full time behavior tech at an ABA clinic. I work 8:00-3:30 Monday thru Friday, but am free any other time of the week. I am willing to take care of your babies in your home! I provide a loving environment and will love them like I would my own.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them has always been something that feels natural and special to me. My love for dogs grew even more when I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, which is where I truly discovered how much I love working with animals. I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including lots of puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I love taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel most comfortable. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, loved, and happy while their family is away. :) I’m a full-time student and involved in my sorority, but I’m very devoted to making time for my clients and their furry friends! I’m happy to work pet care into my schedule and come by to give your pets the attention, love, playtime, and care they need. I’ll always do my best to be dependable and make sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. 🐾💕 I would always respect your home and your pet’s normal routine while caring for them. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, or any other special needs. I know some pets can be nervous when their owners are away, so I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and comfort while keeping their environment safe and clean. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is being cared for and loved while you’re away!
About: I've taken care of family pets since I was 7 years old. Currently, I have a chihuahua-mix who I adopted in 2021 who is my best friend. I mostly have experience caring for dogs and puppies, but I have started fostering cats and kittens through a local animal shelter. This past month, I cared for and administered medications to two 6-week old kittens. I am currently working full-time, but I work mostly remotely, so I have plenty of time for playing with and taking care of animals during my breaks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and I have a large living-room area for my dogs and others to roam. There's plenty of space around the complex for dogs to potty.

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.

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.
