“She was just wonderful! So gentle and attentive with my two dogs. She was amazing with my senior dog. Tessa followed my directions to a 'T', asked additional questions on how to take care of them that I had not even thought of. My dogs loved her, and I do too From now on, Tessa will be my primary Sitter.”

“Carter was amazing. She came through in a pinch with just a few hr notice. She had other complaints but made sure to care for my dogs. She came over before I had to leave to meet my dogs and go over everything. My dogs just loved her. Even my 1 yr old who is timid took to her. I felt at ease with everything going on for me. She gave me visit updates which really helped. I will definitely be using her again!!! Thank you again hun ❤️”
About: I have had dogs and various pets in my household since I was born and adore any animal. I am experienced in caring for puppies, senior dogs, and both large and small breeds. I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities and love helping to make a loving and safe space for them while their people are away. I am currently a full time Biology student at Marshall University. I can walk/check in on your pet(s) in the mornings, midday, or in the evenings. I am available to stay with your pet any nights. I will follow any instructions and schedule given. I like to make sure that pets get plenty of play and interaction time during the day and make it a priority to spend day time with your pets.
About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life! I've had my current pup, a Pittie rescue, for almost 2 years and I love my Queso with all of my heart!! I've been working at doggy daycare for almost 3 years now and am currently at Berk and Kai's House!! I'm currently working full-time at Berk and Kai's House near Huntington/Barboursville. I am typically working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week, but if services are needed on those days just message me and I will do what I can to help! I'm willing to make any accommodations for your pets needs, no matter how big, small, puppy or senior!! I will try to keep my schedule posted ASAP, but please contact me before booking :) I have experience with dogs of all sizes, needs and temperments!! I currently can not take dogs into my home, but I can do whatever is needed for your pups, whether that be specific medications, walks or feeding routines. There is no such thing as a dog that can not be cared for, all dogs are deserving of as much love as possible! If there is anything I can do help, I'm 100% willing!
About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I currently work part-time, 3-5 days a week from 8-4. I can usually get away to let your dog out at lunch if needed. Bottom line is if I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.
“Andrea (Annie) was prompt every day, sent regular photos and communication! Our pets got top shelf care and were in excellent condition when we got back home!! Andrea will be our go to sitter from now on!!”
About: I’ve taken care of almost every animal imaginable, growing up we had three dogs, a cat, two birds, chickens, fish, a mini pig, you name it! I come from a very animal loving household. I’m also a zoo science major so I’m sure to take good care of your baby! I have a dog and two fish of my own, my Shorkies name is Clementine and my two fish are Thorfin and Goob. I’m currently an online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home and available with your pets throughout the day. I’m available most days and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and pet-sitting needs. The only time I’m unavailable is Wednesdays from 2:00–3:30 PM due to a class. Back at my house we have a fenced area for our dogs to run around in but I’ve also crate trained dogs as well. At college my Clementine is crate trained and I take her for walks daily & often.
About: I’ve been recommended to many by word of mouth, so I decided to bring my business to Rover as well! There’s nothing I love more than being able to provide comfort for your pets whenever you’re away. Me and your pets will go on walks, play dates, and anything else they enjoy! Be prepared for lots of photos of us enjoying our days together! I am working part time while in graduate school. Ideally, I am available for overnight stays, whether it be for the weekend or two weeks! I also have sitter backups for any extra care needed in which I’m not able to tend to. I’m currently in graduate school at Morehead State in Ky and will be commuting twice weekly until May. I haven’t dog sat in my own home before because I have 2 dogs and a pig of my own. Caring for your home and pets is what is most important to me! I will always be easy to reach, whether it be by phone, text, or FaceTime! I will also water your plants, pick up your mail, take out the trash, etc.
About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in several areas of animal care, including professional dog grooming, horse care and handling, and veterinary care. Working with animals in these different environments has taught me patience, confidence, and how to adapt to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large animals like horses. I'm comfortable recognizing stress signals, handling nervous or anxious animals, maintaining routines, administering basic care as instructed by owners, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I know every pet is a member of the family, and I treat them that way. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, keeping them company during a drop-in visit, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence while you're away, my goal is to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and cared for just as you would care for them yourself. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday requests whenever possible. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, and I'll work with you to maintain their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses while your pet is in my care. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. With experience in professional dog grooming, horse care, and veterinary settings, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, reducing stress, and handling pets with patience and compassion. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like a member of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. Building trust with each animal is important to me, and I always let them become comfortable at their own pace. I also believe communication builds trust with pet parents. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I'd want for my own animals.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
