“Josie is a cat whisperer! We’ve had a number of people care for our fur babies and only Josie has been able to get both cats out from under the bed to eat and play! And for the first time ever, Sweetie got her insulin shots!!! When we got home I think they were both disappointed that it wasn’t Josie walking through the door!! Thank you, Josie for taking such good care of Sweetie and Bugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been around them my whole life. As a teacher and coach, I’m dependable, patient, and I am comfortable handling all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m very active, so I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog is high-energy, needs extra attention, or just wants someone calm and reliable around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher and coach, I have a structured schedule and am very consistent with my time. I’m available before and after school, evenings, weekends, and during breaks throughout the year including all summer off. I’m active and enjoy being outside, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also used to balancing responsibilities and staying dependable, so making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and getting attention would always be a priority. I understand that every pet is different, so I always try to follow each owner’s routines and preferences as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, consistency, and attention are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, exercise, water, and attention throughout the day. I’m careful with walks, feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also know how important communication is, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment while they’re in my care.
About: Animals are life!🩷 I have a dog, two cats, a bunny, and a chameleon so I am definitely an animal person! They are so fun! I have a lot of free time after I drop my daughter off at school. I love meeting new dogs and walking so I’m hoping to be able to walk some new puppy friends! 🩷 I have a French Bulldog that would love a buddy to play with, your dog will be part of the family and will be spoiled as one of our own!
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the one my family calls when they need pet care if they're going out of town. Whether it is for 2 days or 2 months, I care for the animals everyday and always report back to the owners. I am currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! I mostly work weekends and a few days during the week, those usually being night shifts. I am excited to care for any pet of any kind, shape or size! I will always walk, feed, and groom your pet as needed. I can carry your pet if they can't walk, and I can run with your pet if that's all they want to do!
About: I’ve been around animals since age 5! I’ve taken care of my family and friends’ dogs since then and gone on countless walks with them! I currently work around 25-30 hours a week and am free most of the day! I work around 5 hours each day I work and can swing by your house to check on your pet as many times as needed between. I have a dog crate and a mostly empty neighborhood to go on walks and also have a pet-friendly car to transport your pet to dog parks!
“Luke was awesome!! He was there to take care of my dogs at the times that was needed. When I logged on to the Rover app I had to find a babysitter for my dogs and Luke came the day and introduced himself to my dogs. He did a wonderful dog sitting and he fed my dogs twice a day and he came in three times a day so thank you”
About: I’ve had pets for my entire life and love taking care of them! I love all types of dogs and cats. I am a very active person so I can go on longer walks! I currently work in the afternoons so I have plenty of time available in the mornings from around 9am-12pm to walk with any dogs and such. I understand the importance of safety when taking a dog out and the need for attention when out in a public area especially if cars or other dogs are around.
About: I have been a veterinary assistant at Lake Pet Hospital for 2+ years. There, I assist veterinarians with many tasks including x-rays, toenail trims, filling prescriptions, and giving medications. I'm currently a full time college student, but that is my only commitment other than your pets! I am available most evenings but am also willing to make early mornings work! My many years of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician give me peace of mind that taking care of your furry friend will be a breeze and a blast!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was little. We have owned dogs from 20-150lbs! I have also gone through grooming school. I also have a toddler in the house that absolutely loves animals. I currently have open availability! Weekends and weekdays I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available all day and all night. We have a lot of room outside. Not fenced, but we have a lead to hook up to collars and let dogs run around. I also have a Boston terrier that loves to play with other dogs of all sizes.
“I love that Patty is close to my home and she was so thoughtful about checking in on her and sending updates with precious pictures of my Princess Willow ❣️ Thank you for everything!!”
About: I have grown up with and around dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and feel much more comfortable around them than I do most people! Nothing makes my heart happier than being surrounded by all types of animals. My goal is to treat your babies like family members , and do whatever it takes to make them happy and comfortable while you are away. I love to be active with dogs whether it is playing, walking, or running. On the other hand, I am just as happy to sit around and simply pet your furry friends if they are older and / or more relaxed. I will accept any breed and any age, I am more than comfortable with whatever is needed and requested.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child, my passion for animals encouraged me to pursue a career working with animals. In recent years I have worked animal husbandry caring for domestic pets, exotic big cats, wolves, snakes, birds and more. I am comfortable working with all sizes of dogs and as well as other species. I have 5 years vet tech experience so can help with medical issues and medications as needed. I am fully available except when I’m out of town helping my sick father (usually a week each month). I can check in as frequently or long as you need, but I do have an older 30lb (dog friendly) pup who needs medications twice daily and I am the only one that can provide those to him. If he cannot be with me while providing other pets care then I will need to return to him once morning and evening to ensure he is taken care of. Can stay overnight preferably only one night at a time so I can return to my pets. I have recently moved so no longer have a fenced yard, but have a large home with dog runs on trees in the backyard. I have an easy going 30lb Pomeranian mutt named Teddy. My dog is very easy to get along with other dogs, as I have fostered and watched other animals numerous times in the years of me having him. I watch my brother’s pitbull mix named Hercules on a regular basis as well. I do have cats so would prefer if they were used to them, but have an area of my home doggy gated off so they can feel safe when other pets visit my home.
“Angelina and Brad are always dependable when visiting Zac. He gets great care and loves the attention when we have to leave him behind on a long day away from home. I highly recommend them.”
“It was so nice to know that Lexie was reliable when I was out of the country. Her communication is excellent and it is evident that she cares about your pets as is they were her own. I will definitely be rebooking with her!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life—28 wonderful years—loving, learning, and caring for dogs of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Saint Bernards! I adore all animals (cats included 🐾) and know how important your pet’s happiness and comfort are. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like my own. ❤️ I'm a mom to two amazing toddlers. Caring for animals is something I truly love, and I can’t wait to spend time with your furry friend—whether that’s walks, playtime, or overnight care. My schedule is flexible if your pet is kid-friendly and can get along with my cockapoo. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. For example, I once cared for a miniature schnauzer who needed lots of love and attention. When I had to leave the house, he felt safest in his kennel, so I made sure he had his favorite toy, something that smelled like me, and a small treat to help ease his anxiety. I fully understand that each pet requires different care, and I am more than happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. 🐾💛

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 Ozark 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.
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 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.
