About: I pet sit my friends & family's pet whenever they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention. My days start early, so drop off and pick up times are pretty flexible. I have a large gated backyard that your dog will enjoy. I spend lots of time outside, so all dogs will get plenty outdoor time. Being that my dogs are small I will only be caring for other small dogs. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your sweet one too.
“Shylina is great to work with. She takes great care of Theo and makes sure to give us a detailed update and sends the cutest photos. We know Theo is in good hands when he is in her care.”
“Madysen was great! She cared for our elder cat who needs medication daily. She sent us updates and photos daily and made us feel much more comfortable leaving our baby home alone.”

About: I’ve always had dogs since I was young. I have walked, fed, administered medication and cared for many dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love every moment I get to spend with them. I typically work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays. I am available for walks that would end at 7 and anytime in the afternoon/evenings. I have an immense respect and love for all animals, especially dogs. I am also a responsible owner and caretaker and will put the safety, comfort and happiness of each pup I work with above all else.
“Samantha was absolutely great! She stopped in and took care of our four cats for a week while we were on vacation . Two of them needed medications daily. Samantha also cleaned the cat boxes and watered our outdoor flowers. We couldn't have been happier with the way she handled it all. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again and will definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Samantha!”
About: I have had dogs, cats and raised a wide variety of different animals my whole life and it gives me so much joy to be around them and care for them. I’ve had proper training through jobs- I worked in a kennel where for 8 hours a day I provided care to all kinds of dogs and cats with different needs and temperaments, giving meds, walking, playing with, feeding, grooming, etc. I’ve worked at sanctuaries and rehab facilities which has rounded out my animal care giving to include special needs and exotic animals. I whole heartedly love these sweet creatures and the pure happiness they give to us. My dog is my best friend and I will treat yours with the same love and respect I treat my own as I know the anxiety they must feel being away from their human. I have open availability which allows me to give them the attention they want and need. I try to stay as active as I can with them whether it’s through walking, running, heavy play time or even meeting up with their neighborhood friends to play I’m all for it. I’m big into cuddles and am happy to give as many as they like. My goal is always to make sure your pup is comfortable and happy while away from their person. For more local and long term care references please message me! Rover is a wonderful platform but I have been dog sitting long before I found it and would be happy to give the info of those references to you for reassurance!
About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.
About: I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and work as an organic farmer. Rover helps me to earn money for myself during the off season when work dies down. Contact me if you need help caring for your pets. I'm a lover of cats and dogs (and farm animals) and have had them as pets my whole life from as far back as I can remember. I’ve always lived in households with pets growing up and at one time had as many as three cats and two dogs. My step mother is a certified vet tech and I spent time as a middle schooler helping care for animals that boarded at the animal hospital she worked at. I also spent time as a nanny for three girls and dog sitter of a pit bull and golden doodle on and off for a handful of years during college. I’ve had two seasons of farm experience managing and caring for livestock. Needless to say I am familiar with animal behavior and care needs. My family currently has a cat and Australian cattle dog mix that we love so much. I would love to walk your dog for any amount of time of any size, age, or type. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnight pet sitting at your home. Contact me with questions to see if we’d be a good fit for each other! I have availability throughout the whole week, Sunday through Saturday. I am available for drop-ins, walks and overnight stays, including stays over one week long. I am open to spend time with your pets in your own home. I can play with, feed, walk and cuddle with them depending on your and your pets needs.
About: Hey there – my name is Kamie, and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times…I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I am an incredibly reliable and a trustworthy person. I currently have a full time day job, but I am available most evenings and weekends. Your fur babies safety is my top priority. I will follow ALL instructions given. My objective is to leave your animal feeling just as cared for and loved as if you where the one doing so. I have experienced with giving oral medication and am completely comfortable with doing this if needed.
About: I provide dog/cat sitting in your home. I just spent a week at a lady’s home watching her two dogs. One had an energetic personality and the other had three Legs! I helped him jump on the bed, walk down the stairs, and go for walks. I also pet sat for my friends mom. She has three dogs. All different sizes. I played fetch, made sure I got to her house on time to let them out, and fed on the desired times. I’ve also watched A Doberman, two border collies, one corgi, one Gordon setter, and last but not least an Aussie spaniel mix all in the same house. They were full of energy but very well mannered. I can give diabetic dogs shots as long as they behave. I also have experience with incontinent dogs and wheelchair dogs. I’ve watched horses, cats, goats, small animals including rabbits, geckos, chickens and fish. Please consider me for pet sitting your fury animals. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you
About: I have always had an animal in my house since birth. I don’t know what life would be like without a fur baby. So since a very young age I have learned how to properly care for and love animals. I’ve had a lot of experience. I also pet sit for multiple family members and friends regularly. I am currently unable to work my normal job so my availability is pretty open for the most part to be able to care for your pets. I will be sure to give your pet the proper amount of food and or water at the appropriate times. I will clean up after your pets messes. Most importantly I will treat them with kindness and respect. I will love them and give them plenty of attention.
“Ellie was very responsive and loving with our two Senior Dogs. She made sure to keep us in the loop with how they were doing and offeedr to add extra visist if we felt they needed it. We look forward to engaging her in the future for all our doggy needs”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
