“Erin has provided the best Rover experience I have had by far. She was on time everyday, provided several photos of my pet and wrote a fun, unique update every session. 100% would book again.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and the importance of noticing subtle changes in a pet's condition. I know how to stay calm in stressful situations and understand the value of following medication schedules, special diets, and veterinary instructions accurately. I believe every pet deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and attention, I'll tailor my care to their unique needs and routine. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Since I work as a veterinary receptionist during the week, I make time during my one-hour lunch break for drop-in visits when needed, while also dedicating my free time outside of work to caring for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and consistent routines. I enjoy making time for pets and providing the attention, patience, and care they deserve while their parents are away. I provide pet sitting in the comfort of your home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I focus on keeping their feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, and daily habits consistent while providing plenty of attention and companionship. With my experience as a veterinary receptionist, I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving pets the patience and care they need. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“I was so grateful to have Lindsay checking in on my rescue chihuahua, Gus. He has terrible separation anxiety and can’t be left alone currently. It was a relief to know that Gus was being cared for while I was out.”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

“Sharon is great with our corgi, Wilson. She asks thoughtful questions and clearly cares about being prepared. She sends regular updates, which gives us peace of mind. It’s obvious she really loves the dogs she cares for, and it makes leaving Wilson much easier. She also is great at communication and is responsive to messages. We highly recommend her!”

I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience. If your dog needs medicine, is reactive, or has certain triggers, please be up front with this information so I can provide the best service! In my house, my pets have a schedule for food and activity so they have a basic structure. Feel free to share about their personality, quirks, or any sensitivities. Communication is key!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds.

Mallorie took amazing care of our two cats with drop in visits while we were gone for two weeks. They loved her, and she loved them. Her updates were super helpful and full of pictures, which my family appreciated. Mallorie was very respectful of our home and very responsive. Would definitely have her take care of our cats 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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
