About: I’m a dependable dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I currently work part-time, so I offer dog walks around my work schedule. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and will always communicate if there are any scheduling changes. My goal is to make sure your dog gets a safe, fun, and enjoyable walk every time. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your dog leashed unless you request otherwise in a secure area, provide fresh water after walks, and make sure they return home happy and safe.
“Wow! Amanda took such great care with our mature dog. I was apprehensive (no terrified) to have anyone take care of him but we were stuck and she saved the day!!! She was a great communicator, made sure to give him his meds and even gave him a little walk. Amazing!”
“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”
“Bradlei was amazing with my dogs and cats! I was going on a trip for the weekend, and unfortunately last minute plans made it so my family weren't going to be available to help watch them, but Bradlei did so well with everyone. The house was well maintained and she cleaned up the shreds of stuffed animals my boys scattered around the house. The litter boxes were clean and their water bowl was filled. I would absolutely recommend Bradlei and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking care of my babies!”
“Great with our chocolate lab, willing to work with us and honor our requests. Came on short notice when we needed an extra night. Responded quickly and gave updates with every visit.”

About: I love dogs. A few years ago our family’s dog, Lacy passed away at 13 years old. She was a beautiful black and white English springer spaniel. She was so fun, energetic, and sweet. She’s missed everyday. We’re not ready to get another dog yet but since I love being around dogs I thought that caring for dogs would be a fun thing to do. I’ve had experience taking care of my family’s dog for 10 years. Growing up with her, I took Lacy for walks, fed, played with, and cared for her. I’ve house sat my cousins 3 dogs a couple times, whenever they go on vacation for one to two weeks at a time. I’ve also done day visits for one of their neighbors dogs whenever they go on work trips for a few days. I’m looking forward to walking and spending time with your dog(s)! I currently am in between jobs and I’m looking for part time work. I thought dog walking/sitting would be a nice temporary job since I love dogs. I would follow my clients instructions for the care of their dog and the dogs needs. This would include their nutritional needs as well as exercise and play time.
About: I grew up with many animals and have always loved caring for them and spending time with them. We have been caring for dogs and cats through Rover for many years and strive to offer top-notch pet sitting in a calm, loving home environment. We live a healthy lifestyle and provide high-quality treats, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one attention. Our home is relaxed and comfortable, which helps make the transition from your home to ours as smooth and stress-free as possible. We usually care for only one dog at a time, with two being our maximum. This allows us to treat your dog like part of the family while giving them plenty of space to rest, play, and settle in at their own pace. I work from home Monday through Friday from the living room, so I’m always nearby to keep an eye on the dogs and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We start our mornings around 6 AM with a walk, followed by breakfast and nap time. Throughout the day, dogs are let out into the yard often for potty breaks, fresh air, and outdoor time. In the evenings, we like to relax together with some playtime, usually fetch or tug, before everyone settles in for the night. Our home is relaxed, quiet, and calm. We are usually home throughout the day, aside from the occasional trip to the store or gym, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. Our belief is that a fulfilled dog is a good dog. We understand that every dog is unique and may need different forms of stimulation, affection, structure, and rest. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and finding what helps them feel happiest, safest, and most comfortable while they’re with us. We have two female dogs, Maya and Mabel. Both of our pups are crate trained, well socialized, and love meeting new friends. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we use gates when needed and always separate Maya and Mabel from other dogs during feeding time.
“Joey does an amazing job caring for our greyhound, Happy. He communicates well, arrives on time, and gives Happy plenty of love and pets. Our dog gets excited seeing Joey, when he comes to take her for a walk. I can confidently recommend Joey and I will be contacting him again. He is always our first choice for care.”

“Robert did a great job watching over Our dog Paco, and our cat Remington. He sent us adorable pictures every day of what they would do from walking around the neighbourhood and playing with toys. Our dog paco especially its nervous around new people, Robert was able to earn his trust in just a few short days and by the 3rd day of his twice daily drop in visits was able to even hold and pet paco. At 1st we were very anxious to leave our home in animals behind, but Robert put us at ease and our animals seemed to like him a lot.”
About: Cat owner with two cats experienced in feeding with special diets, litter care, and administering oral medications. Comfortable with shy, playful, or senior pets, providing calm, attentive, reliable in-home care. I also have a medium size pet stroller for cats (or dogs) who like the fresh air but aren’t too interested in walking! My schedule is pretty flexible allowing me to work from home when needed. I’m able to provide pet care, cuddles, feedings, walks, etc during the day and evenings I’m more than happy to meet up with first time clients and their pets to see if we’re a good match before initial sitting. If you’re pressed for time and can’t meet up, please be sure to send me detailed instructions. Photo references help too! Let me know about any special diet, medication, quirks, favorite toys, and favorite spots for walks. Anything else you can think of let me know! I want to do my best to ensure your pet feels comfortable when I stop in. And yes I’ll send you pics of your baby while you’re away!
“Katie was amazing with our cats!! We have one very social cat who loved making a new friend and one typical scaredy cat and Katie helped take all our travel nerves away taking such great care of both our cats. We loved seeing the notes and pictures each day! Would highly recommend Katie 🙂”
About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. From puppies to seniors, small and big, I've taken care of them all. I've taken care of my dogs after surgeries and kept them comfortable and assisted them getting around safely. I have completed dog training classes with dogs and have taught them tricks! I have a huge place in my heart for all dogs and will take care of your dogs like they're my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with our 5 year old son. I would be available to take care of your dog(s) throughout the day. Israel, Jaxson and I live in a house with a fenced in yard with our 9 year old dog Sophie, a Wheaten Terrier. We love meeting new dogs and enjoy seeing our dog friends return for another visit! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I am a Stay At Home Mom with a 5 year old son and our dog, so I am available throughout the day to take care of any new dog friends. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and stay active. We have gates we can put up while dogs eat to keep them separated and safe.
About: I grew up in a multi-pet household so animals became a huge part of my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, and a hedgehog at one point so I’m also familiar with some exotic pet care. I currently have a one and half year old Australian shepherd who is very active so I am used to providing lots of physical and mental stimulation. We are currently training in various activities such as scentwork and agility. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications. I am currently available most days so I can stop in for a long walk or a quick check in any day of the week. I treat every animal as if it were my own. I believe animals deserve care, love, and respect just like you would show anyone else. I also do my best to read the animals body language and respect their boundaries.

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 .

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 .
