“Danielle is FANTASTIC. We have been fortunate enough to have her care for our rescue baby for 3 months now on a weekly basis. She is great with communication, and goes above and beyond for our doggo. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsee is always such a phenomenal dog sitter! Our pups are so happy that she snuggles and plays with them during her drop in visits to our home. She is so thoughtful, thinking of the smallest details and she always sends the most fun pictures of our pups. We recently had one of our pups pass and Kelsee was so understanding of our changes in routines as the dynamics have been so different since losing a beloved and important member of our pack. We never have a worry when Kelsee is taking care of our dogs and she is the only sitter we ever want to use!”
About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: I have had pets my whole life and have been caring for them at an early age. One of my first jobs was at a dog daycare facility that included boarding, house sitting and dog walking in our services. I have 5+ years experience in the veterinary field. I am familiar with all types of dog breeds and behaviors. I am a full time mom and a part time barista, but have fairly open days to add some walks or drop ins to my schedule. I have experience housesitting pets and following instructions that each pet parent leaves. I am comfortable feeding, handling, giving medication, picking up poop, basically anything that needs to be done to keep pet parents and pets happy!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Bathing them, walking, playing and feeding them the best meals because that’s what they deserve Waking up in the morning, I feed my baby before I eat. Anything I do through out my day, my baby is involved. No matter what. Following the routine they are used to. Whatever you do for your baby, let me know and I will mirror is exactly. I treat all babies as my own 💛
About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.
About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.
About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home and I’ve loved every each one of them. I currently have 2 cats and 3 other in the house from my roommates. my youngest is a 5 month old orange tabby named boots and my oldest is a 8 year old calico named Nora. I’ve taken care of rotties, huge huskies, German shepherds, border collies, chihuahuas along with many many cats! I’m ready to give your pets the love and care that they need! ❤️ I am currently working a full time job, but I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week so I have 4 days available a week to tend to your pets! I have very playful kittens in home and a huge area around me to take your dogs on plenty of walks! I also have multi dog parks around my apartment!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!
About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
“Isabel was a real trooper watching our little guy for two nights in a row. He is part herding dog and apparently wanted to control her but she prevailed and won the day and they had a peaceful evening. Thank you Isabel!!”
About: I specialize in adoption and care of older dogs, letting them live out their years with dignity and respect. Whether you are camping, skiing or just out on an adventure you can't bring Fido, or you are working and your friend needs a midday visit, I would love to get your pal outside for some fresh air and exercise. Young and old furry pals will be happier with an extra walk or some special visits during the long day. If you are going away for any length of time, I am available as a trusted and calm presence in your home for your furry buddy to feel more comfortable in their own home space and routine. I'm happy to provide a safe, comfortable and fun place to stay in my home as well. I work weekdays and love spending the rest of my time with a dog pack. I am out walking my pack anyway, more are welcome. I have a senior dog at home, with a fenced yard, doggy door and dog friendly environment. They can roam as if at home or we can crate if wanted.
About: I provide reliable, in-home pet care focused on consistency, safety, and following each pet’s established routine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments, including rescues, seniors, and high-maintenance pets. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and environmental safety, and I adjust my approach based on the individual animal rather than using a one-size-fits-all style. I’m comfortable administering medications, adhering to strict care instructions, and maintaining routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule intentionally to allow for dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home visits, with flexibility to accommodate regular check-ins, travel schedules, and repeat clients. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure trust and consistency.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including my own pup, Silas. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, administering medication, potty routines, walks, and active play. I create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. I also have experience caring for multiple pets at once, so I’m skilled at managing different personalities and energy levels. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for your pets and their needs. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I’m reliable and enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and playtime. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and secure, and communicate with owners throughout the stay so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Latham
Willow watched our house and animals while we went overseas for over 2 weeks. She did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, the chickens and Baba the turkey. She also was in charge of keeping our gardens watered during super hot tempertures. And she managed to keep all my bird feeders and hummingbird feeders well maintained. It was a lot to expect from someone, but Willow proved to be the right choice for this job. I am very thankful that we found her. I will definitely use her again for our next outing. Thank you.

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.
