“Veronica has been really nice and very caring to my cats even after I lost Pebbles she said kind words to me about it. I really like her and hope to keep her in the future watching Bam Pam.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years ! While I am most experienced with golden retrievers and helped train them for two years, I am comfortable with any and all dog breeds and sizes. Love going on car rides with a dog in my back seat !! Can’t wait to snuggle your furry friend. :) I work night shift at Starbucks, so I am able to pop in most mornings and early afternoons as well as after 9 PM for a late night visit ! If looking for extensive care over a period of time, I am more then willing to request time off specifically for your buddy. I am comfortable with crate trained dogs as well as free roam friends ! I will make sure to clean up after your friend and ensure they are safe and cozy while you’re gone.
About: I have experience pet sitting dogs for up to a week at a time as well as experience with my own dog Buster who is a golden retriever and cocker spaniel mix. I currently work full-time in the afternoon and evening. I collaborate with my mom who works in the mornings so that your dog would only be alone for up to four hours at a time. I keep the rules that you set for your pet when they stay at my home. When we go outside, I have an invisible fence if needed or long lead as well as a good size neighborhood to walk with your dog.
“Cheyenne took care of our dog Axel while we were out of town for a weekend and was absolutely amazing with him!! Axel had a great weekend and we knew he would be well taken care of🩷”
“Kathleen was an excellent dog sitter. She provided wonderful care for my Golden Retriever SAYLOR. She sent pictures often and left notes and sent detailed messages to me during my absence. I would highly recommend her services for your furry friend. I plan on using Kathleen in the future!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs in Buffalo, where I looked after two dogs, including a Newfoundland and a pit bull mix. I stayed in the owner's home for several days while they were away, making sure the dogs were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I provided daily walks, playtime in the yard, feeding on schedule, fresh water, and treats as instructed. After that, I continued caring for them with drop-in visits, coming in the mornings, evenings, and during the day on weekends. I am responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I always follow the owner's instructions and make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care during weekdays and weekends. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I can visit in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on your pet’s needs. I am reliable and will always arrive on time. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, especially with cats or shy animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you are away.
About: I was raised on a farm so I have experience with a variety of animals. My family has also had multiple cats, dogs, and small animals who I’ve had a hand in raising and caring for. I don’t have any of my own pets to take care of due to my living arrangements and plenty of free time so your animals are sure to get all my affection and attention. I’m comfortable with any types of cages, leashes, and harnesses and know what kinds of behaviors to look for to know when these are necessary.
About: I’m reliable, active, and patient, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, puppies who need structure, and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra care. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Being a pet caretaker fits into my daily routine because I am able to work from home. This allows me the ability for check-ins/walks and for the consistency that a pet owner needs when they are away. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s routine closely so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. I’ll also respect the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet is cared for before I leave.
“Monica is wonderful. She is excellent with my 2 dogs. She has been prompt and responsive to all questions. My dogs always look so happy when I get home to them after she has spent a visit with them. I will continue to request service with her as much as I need her and I’d recommend her 100%”
About: I’ve been dog/cat/house sitting since I was about 14! What started out as something I could do for a little extra money quickly turned into something I have a strong passion for and through that I have gained reliable clients and relationships! I have been taking care of many animals through those years and have grown to appreciate each breed as their own individual! Though I’m not specialized in animal care my love, vigilance and passion for helping and taking care of animals makes up for that. I’ve had three cats and a big dog. My latest cat is blind so I’m familiar with some medical care as well! And if you have a reptile (no venomous) no worries! I have experience with them as well as I have my own leapord gecko! I know everyone wants someone loving, reliable and trustworthy to watch over their fur babies and I will not disappoint! On a typical day in the summer I usually have off as I work full time during the school year. Which leaves me free during the day and night for visits or to watch over night. I am free to watch, walk or just play with your fur baby at any time! I typically will do a no charge visit prior to me meeting a new client and animal/s to get a feel for their environment and how your day to day typically runs so I know their routine. I try not to disrupt their normal routine as much as possible! Once we have established the routine I will follow it depending on your specifications! I have experience with all shapes and sizes. I typically bring in mail and packages, water plants and light cleaning if you so desire. It’s all what you’d like! It’s you and your fur babies world I’m just living in it!
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals growing up. I have experience with all age ranges and breeds of dogs, as well as cats and lizards. I'm good with any challenges that come! I currently own two cats myself:) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and can work my schedule around what you need if brought up a week in advance:) In my home I am used to getting animals in crates, on leashes or just out in the backyard if that's what you need. I will take time with the animals that need help or time with certain things!
About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.
About: I’ve always had animals my entire life of all sorts and prefer their company. Naturally animals are comfortable in my presence. I am basically Snow White. Pet care is a regular part of my routine that I could easily adapt to your requirements. I work a few hour during the week for a few days and have plenty of time to accommodate your needs. I have fenced yard if necessary for run time. But I can make time to visit the home of your pets for their comfort ability.
About: Growing up we always had both a dog and a cat in the home. I genuinely love dogs of all types however have experience caring for cats as well! I do work full time Monday through Friday. My job keeps me busy however I would not accept pet care that I was not for sure able to fit into my schedule. Primarily available evenings and weekends for that reason. I am attentive and loving to pets! I enjoy walking and playing with pups of all sizes and spending time with them! Dog cuddles are the best!
About: In my preteen years I looked out for many of our neighbors dogs when they were away. I always grew up having many different types of dogs small to big as well as very young and old. My family owned many goats and different types of fowl so I am used to being surrounded by all kinds of animals. In the apartment that I currently residence my boyfriend and I are not allowed animals so we are looking to fill that gap by compassionately looking after your loved one. I am currently in a waiting period in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pet as well as check in during the day. I am willing to cater to the preference of your pet. I would love to take them on longer walks or visit their favorite park. I am also open to keeping your pet more local and playing fetch or with toys in your yard if applicable.
About: I’ve owned a cat since I was 5! I know how to do litter and I understand cat language. If you’d be more comfortable, I’d be able to put my cats away in a separate room to care for yours alone and make sure they feel safe. However my cats love other cats and wouldn’t harm yours!:) I would have time everyday after 3pm as I don’t currently have a car so my mom would have to drive me after she works! On saturdays im free all day and sundays after church - so after about 12pm. I have nine cats who I take care of daily and will keep your cat company, if you have a dog however, I’d put my cats away just to be safe!
“She is awesome. Jasper was well taken care of. I will use her again. Elizabeth is a kind, happy young lady who truly loves animals. It was a pleasure to meet her. Reliable / Trustworthy / Fair. I sis not have to worry about Jasper while I was away from home.”

Lauren took great care of our pups during her visit, and was very accommodating of our senior dog, who needed some extra attention due to some medical issues. She communicated everything clearly and sent instant updates as to how our dogs were doing while we were away. We would highly recommend her!

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.

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.
