“Melissa sent me loads of photos and took great care of my 2 year old dog and new, 8-week old puppy. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving them and they were happy, safe, and sound when we returned home :)”
“Our dogs LOVE Jamie! She is great at communicating with us when booking and during her check ins with our fur babies! If she ever has questions or concerns, she’s always reaching out which makes us feel even more comfortable with leaving her with our babies.”
“Rileigh did an excellent job. She went an extra mile with meet and greet. She kept in communication with us and we felt very comfortable with her in our house with our cats. I would hire her again”
About: I have taken care of pets for many years. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, diabetic pets, medical needs and much more. I have experience with all dog sizes and multiple breeds of both cats and dogs. Feel free to contact me with any questions! I am available for most of the time on weekends Saturday - Sunday. I am also available before 10 AM and after 5 PM on weekdays Monday-Friday. I will care for your pets and your home environment. Whether the pets have full reign of the home, are kenneled, need to be leashed or have a fenced in yard. I am willing to adapt to any lifestyle.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
About: Taking care of your pet is my passion. I can teach your dog some new tricks! I’ve been trained to tell when a dog is overheating, what to do during seizures and how to give your pets their medications. Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits. I will be there for your animal day or night. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I have open availability! Your pet will have my full attention and love. Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.
About: As a dedicated dog caregiver, I’ve spent years providing loving care to various breeds. As a trusted adult by family and friends, I prioritize each dog’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do my best and more to create a nurturing environment where pets thrive. Bring a dog caregiver perfectly complements my part time job by allowing me to structure my day around both responsibilities. This role not only offers companionship but also ensures I remain active and engaged throughout the day. As a dog caregiver, I provide a personalized care in both my home and client’s homes. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercising, and bathroom breaks to ensure each dog feels secure. In clients homes, I follow their specific guidelines while bringing my own warmth and attention. I focus on keeping their pets comfortable, engaging them in activities, and maintaining a clean environment.
About: I have been dog sitting for many years. I have stayed at peoples houses and i have done drop in visits. I also have experience with giving dogs the medications that they need. I have a very flexible schedule right now so i can pretty much be there for your dog at almost any time they need me. I have a dog of my own so i am experienced. Dogs are my favorite animal, i love to spend time and play with them. I would consider myself one of the biggest dog people you will ever meet. I love all kinds of dogs from all different shapes, sizes, and breeds. I hope you will consider letting me meet and become good friends with your dog :) I have dogsat since I was fourteen years old. I’m obsessed with animals and dogs tend to be my best friend I walk my dog all the time. I will do whatever you tell me to do I will feed them the times you tell me too and try my best to stay on their daily routine because I know it’s hard for animals when their owners leave them etc.
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
About: While growing up on a farm, I have always loved caring for dogs, cat, and horses with various needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their four legged companions of all sizes for many years. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy on a fun walk or your cat needs a friendly drop-in visit, I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I currently have a very sweet Australian Shepherd, an extra fluffy cat, and four gentle horses and two donkeys - all with unique personalities and needs. I work remotely from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I'm more than happy to spend time with your pet, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. My backyard is fenced in, with plenty of room to play ball or practice agility. I respect other pet owner's space and home, as well as rules for handling or caring for their pets, ensuring I am both assertive and friendly.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs my whole life. Currently have 4 dogs of my own. One of the 4 is a senior dog. I have done beginning training for puppies before they went to their forever homes. Also have experience with dogs that have health conditions and need daily medication. I currently am taking the summer off of work, so I will have all the time in the day to care for and play with your pets! I will regularly let your dog out. If needed, I have experience with e-collars and how to properly use them. I can also crate your dog.
“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.
About: As a lifelong dog lover who works from home, your pup will never be left alone, they get real, attentive companionship all day, every day. With 15 years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of every personality, from couch-cuddling seniors to high-energy adventurers and I’m fully comfortable administering medications and managing any special health needs. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I tailor everything to what makes your dog happiest. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos and check-ins every step of the way, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. MEET AND GREETS: I always welcome meet and greets, your comfort and your dog's comfort matter to me! To keep things running smoothly for both of us, all meet and greets are kept to under 20 minutes. This allows me to stay on schedule while coordinating care for multiple families and my returning clients. It's a quick, low-pressure visit so your pup and I can meet and you can ask any questions before booking. Just reach out and we'll find a time that works! ONE ON ONE CARE/ NO MIXED HOUSEHOLD: I take pride in offering dedicated, one on one care for every dog in my home. I do not host pets from multiple different families at the same time only your animal (or animals!) will have my full, undivided attention throughout their stay. If you have multiple pets, absolutely bring them all! I'm happy to care for your whole crew together. The one-household policy simply means your pets are never mixed with unfamiliar animals from other families, keeping the environment calm, safe, and stress-free. QUESTIONS ABOUT RATES? My pricing reflects the level of care your pet actually receives. Because I only take one family at a time, your dog isn't sharing my attention with a house full of strangers' pets, they get a personal, attentive experience from drop-off to pick-up. You're not paying for a spot in a group setting. You're paying for individualized care, a calm and focused environment, and a sitter who is fully present for your pet. BEYOND DOGS: I've cared for more than just dogs and cats! I have experience with exotic animals including ferrets and other small pets. If you have an animal that's a little outside the ordinary, don't hesitate to ask, chances are I've got you covered. Have questions, special requirements, or just want to chat before booking? Please reach out! I'm always happy to talk through anything to make sure this is the right fit for you and your pet. Because I work from home, your dog gets potty breaks, meals, playtime, and medications on their schedule, not a rushed one. I work around your routine to make handing off your pup as seamless and stress-free as possible. Every dog is welcomed like family from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, they’re treated as part of the household, free to roam, claim the couch, and make themselves completely at home.
“Madeline was absolutely wonderful! She did daily drop in visits and took amazing care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about my cat’s well being. I loved getting updates and knowing my cat was in such good hands. It gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, which says everything. I would 100% recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her 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.
