About: I grew up in a house with cats and taking care of the neighbors golden retriever dog whenever they had trips. I house sat for pet owners throughout highschool. I have given pills to cats and dogs and also done light grooming such as baths, shampoos, and some nail work on dogs. I currently work at the hospital 4 days a week that are swing shifts. I have a flexible work schedule and am always looking for things to do on the side. I currently help care for a dog that requires medication so I am skilled at administering pills to dogs and making sure they actually take the pill. I enjoy going on walks with dogs and also have dog seatbelts if a drive is necessary for the dogs.
About: I’ve been volunteering with animals since I was 8 years old, which gave me a strong foundation in responsibility, compassion, and hands-on animal care from a young age. Over the years, I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, learning how to approach each one with patience and understanding. Volunteering taught me how important consistency, gentle handling, and careful observation are when caring for pets. In addition to volunteering, I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the daily commitment that comes with being a pet owner. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, behavior changes, and overall comfort to make sure they feel safe and secure. I also worked as a kennel technician, where I cared for animals in a structured, professional environment. In this role, I gained experience with proper handling techniques, maintaining clean and sanitary spaces, monitoring for signs of stress or illness, and ensuring each animal’s needs were met efficiently and safely. Working in that setting strengthened my ability to stay calm, organized, and attentive, even in busy environments. Animal care has always been a consistent and meaningful part of my life. It’s not just something I do, it’s something I genuinely care about and take pride in. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work at a school during the day, which means I’m available after 2:30 PM on weekdays. I’m also fully available on weekends and have extended availability during school holidays, spring break, and summer break. Because of my schedule, I’m a great option for families needing care during holiday travel or extended trips. I can provide afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on distance. I prioritize organization and time management to ensure every pet receives consistent, reliable attention and care. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my own home because I have pets of my own and limited space. I want to ensure that every animal in my care feels comfortable and safe, and I believe being realistic about space is important for everyone’s well-being. Instead, I focus on providing high-quality care in your home through drop-in visits and overnight stays. Many pets feel more relaxed in their familiar environment, and this allows me to maintain their routine while keeping their stress levels low. My goal is always to provide attentive, dependable care where your pet feels most secure.
“Aly did an excellent job with our pups! We loved the pictures she took and her communication with us was very good as well! We are hoping to utilize her services again soon!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I treat every dog like my own—prioritizing safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care during weekdays and many weekends. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, keep their routine consistent, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on making sure your pet feels secure and loved.
“Megan was an amazing dog sitter! I would 100% recommend her and will be using her again in the future. She kept me well informed and took excellent care of my very old dog and 2 cats. She came through for us on very short notice and saved the day. Thank you Megan!!”
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other household pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust while providing attentive, personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am proud of my commitment to treating every pet like family. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly notice any changes that may need attention. I communicate regularly with pet owners, provide updates and photos, and always strive to give them peace of mind while they’re away. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, or shy animals that need extra patience, I provide loving, responsible care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home with generous breaks. While my schedule is 9-5, I wake early to go on walks in my neighborhood, and my work day includes 1.5 hours of breaks. After work is much like “before work”. A pet would work perfectly in this schedule I have a 3 story townhome and garage! I recently installed a fence! I will keep the pet entertained with fetch, and other stimulating games and puzzles

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
