“Alex was fantastic, she took care of our sweet pup Dusty while we were out of town for a wedding. I was hesitant at first as our dog is a little skittish, but Alex was prepared and quickly won her over. I couldn’t have asked for a more patient, kind, and trustworthy person to look after our baby. Thank you Alex !”

“Mallory was great she stopped by when she said she would. I was new to hiring a stranger to take care of my two dogs and two cats. I had my house full of cameras and every time she came over she loved my pets, played with my dogs and even cleaned up the stuffing my dogs tore up from my couch. She was even lucky and was able to pet my cats and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter box. I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future.”

About: Ive taken care of many species of dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have a huge heart for animals and only want what's best for them. I am a biochemist in studying right now who strives to use their degree in veterinary sciences. I have a lot of time on my hands since my job doesn't open till the 2nd week of July and I cant work till then I plan to be very respectful while in the home owners house and take care of there animals the best I can while making sure to keep them updated along the way!

About: I provide loving, dependable care for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior pets, and attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and special needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including morning and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight stays. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following each pet’s routine and instructions carefully. I provide a clean, calm environment, secure doors and gates, supervise pets closely, and communicate with owners regularly.
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”


About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.
“Ali came over to feed our indoor/outdoor cats in the mornings and change the water and litter for a week. We have a cat clan, and she gave us updates and photos letting us know who was there and anything else that we might want to know. She brought in some boxes that were delivered while we were gone and cleaned up a gift that one of the 1-y-o boys (likely) had brought into the house. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!”

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
About: i’ve taken care of many animals since a young age ranging from farm animals to exotic pets and of course the average household pets. i have a huge love and passion for taking care of animals. i’m currently waiting for a position to open up so i can start working, so i will have plenty of time to hang with your fur baby. once i start working im looking at full time hours but the love and care towards your fur baby will be the same as if i wasn’t working. i will meet any and all accommodations asked of me when taking care of your fur baby. i will update with pictures throughout the time as well
“10/10, definitely recommend Miranda! She is kind, updates frequently during the visit, treats your dog as her own and is loving and caring to fur babies! The best and cutest photos! Would book her again! Thank you again for being so sweet to my boy, spoiling him with treats/attention and taking good care of him. ❤️”

About: I have experience watching dogs for family and friends, and I enjoy spending time with them and building a trusting relationship. I enjoy interacting with dogs to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m going into my first year of college, so I wanted to find something flexible that I would enjoy doing and that would work well around my school schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and are let outside when needed. I also enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel happy and comfortable.
About: My lifelong love for animals and my personal experience caring for pets set me apart. I took early retirement to pursue my passion for helping both people and their pets. As a biologist, I bring a strong attention to detail—I am observant, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s behavior, health, and individual needs. Dogs and cats naturally sense my love for them, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to providing excellent pet care, I care for your home with the same respect and responsibility—bringing in mail, taking trash cans in from the curb, and following any specific instructions you provide. I keep pets’ spaces clean, maintain routines, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in your absence. I am also flexible with my hours when given advance notice. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is not only cared for, but truly loved. With open availability, pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give each pet dedicated, unhurried attention, ensuring their comfort, safety, and overall happiness everyday. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, as I am unable to accommodate animals in my own home. Caring for pets in their familiar environment ensures their comfort and reduces any stress associated with changes to their routine or surroundings. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions meticulously to maintain the pet’s established feeding, exercise, and care schedule. This includes cleaning litter boxes, feeding and hydrating pets, administering medications (if required), and providing companionship through playtime or affection. I prioritize keeping the home tidy and secure, ensuring the pet’s space remains clean and well-maintained.
About: I’m a cat mom myself, so you can be sure that your babies will be in good hands when you’re away. Loved as if they were my own. As of right now, I have a free schedule so I’m able to work anytime of the day any day of the week if needed You can be sure that your dog will always be on a leash, your cat will never be let outside, and they will never ever be mistreated. Only loved.
“Great sitter! Would definitely use again. Madison was right on time, attentive to directions and Jackson took to her immediately. We came back and Jackson had been fed, walked and was in bed, as we requested. Thank you, Madison!”

About: I’m Grace W and I love love love dogs! I have been dog sitting and taking care of other people’s dogs for about three years now. I have also fostered rescue dogs before they were able to find their forever home. I also have two dogs of my own, Remy and Milo. Along with dog sitting I have volunteered at animal shelters and rescued many animals in my home town. I promise to take excellent care of your fur babies like they were my own. I am very excited to be able to meet so many great dogs and build up my reputation with dog sitting and walking. Dogs are such an amazing part of life and they deserve the absolute best care possible. Thank you!
“Courtney was an absolute doll! I was so nervous leaving my pets for 10 days while we were on a cruise but Courtney was in constant contact with me 3 times a day, sending pictures and updates. She even went overboard to make friends with my skittish cat, who she won over after a few days! I highly recommend her. She was kind, gentle and patient with my pets and we will definitely be using her services again for our next vacation. Thank you Courtney for loving on Diesel and Danté. ❤️”

About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles. I also have several close friends and family members who work in veterinary medicine, including my cousin who is currently in her third year of veterinary school and is always just a phone call away. My schedule is extremely flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs rather than expecting their routine to fit around mine. Pets in my home will be treated just like my own—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of cuddles! The dogs in my home are very friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and at home as possible while they’re with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture and beds in my home, especially if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated at certain times, I also have a kennel available and am happy to follow their normal routine.
About: I have had dogs since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of them myself in house basically my whole life. I love cuddling with my dogs and don't mind them laying beside me on furniture. I have trained lots of puppies potty duties and crate training. I have had a bunch of senior dogs. I am a nurse by trade, so if your fur baby needs meds, I am definitely the one who can give it to them! I can't wait to meet your baby! I am currently retired nurse who stays home basically all the time. If I do have to leave, it is usually only for a couple of hours. I do not have a fully fenced yard, but I do have a fenced area behind the house that I can put the fur babies in to do their business and get some exercise. If they do not need to be contained, I have 5 acres that they can run and play.

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.
