“Highly recommend! Communication was excellent throughout, and always right on time for drop-offs and pick-ups. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy the whole time. Would absolutely book again.”
About: I have been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I am skilled in basic obedience, positive reinforcement, recognizing discomfort, patience, and friendship I am a stay at home mom with 1 dog and 2 cats. I am with my pets all day long. My dog is my best friend in the whole world, my two cats are polar opposites of each other. The calm and the crazy lol. We make it work. My dog Bo is very anxious just like his mom lol so he requires extra cuddles throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house. I treat my dog like he is my baby and I would absolutely do the same for yours. My dog is with me on the couch when I'm on the couch and he's in my bed in the morning lol You only get one life. I spoil him rotten ♥
About: I have cared for dogs ranging from bottle-fed puppies to elderly that need special care and medication. I have been trusted throughout my whole life to care for an array of animals such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rats, etc. I work 2pm-10pm M-F but can fit caring for your fur baby in the morning and at night. I’m also a mom so I just may have a baby companion tag along with me sometimes! I meet the pet where they are at! If they are shy and nervous, I’m more than happy to sit there with them until I earn their trust. If they are social and ready to go throw that ball, my shoes are on and I’m ready to go!
About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including a 2-year-old Great Dane and a pit bull mix puppy. Through this, I have developed strong skills in handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My dogs are well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around both people and other animals, which reflects my commitment to proper care and positive interaction. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I am available to supervise, engage in play, and ensure dogs receive regular outdoor time and exercise as needed. Your pet will have constant companionship and a safe, well-monitored environment while in my care. I maintain a consistent routine to support each dog’s comfort and well-being. In warmer weather, I provide outdoor breaks approximately every two hours, allowing time for exercise and play. Dogs also receive regular indoor play and engagement. In my home, pets are typically allowed to remain out of the crate, promoting a relaxed and comfortable environment while still ensuring their safety and supervision.
“Bree was fantastic! She took amazing care of Lucy and sent the best updates and photos. Her detailed messages made me feel so comfortable while I was away, and it was clear Lucy warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend Bree—she’s wonderful!”
About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more! I’m currently working part time. I am also a single mom. I’m available on Mondays during school hours, during the week in the afternoon/evening as well as the weekends. I will provide safe environment for your dog! There is also a dog park nearby. So you can count on daily walks or runs! Any selfies we take will be sent to you! :D
About: I’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!
About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake James
Caroline was an amazing cat sitter! She took care of my cats as if they were her own, left detailed notes each day, and asked questions to help her go above and beyond. My cats were friendly and playful with her, and she even helped manage my house when there were 2 power outages while sje was watching my cats. I will definitely book with Caroline again when I need a cat sitter.
Caroline did a fantastic job watching my two tiny house panthers. 🐈⬛🐈⬛ Communication was effortless, she sent plenty of photos, and it was obvious they were in great hands. I came home to two happy cats and suspect I’ve been replaced as their favorite human. Will happily book Caroline 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 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.
