“I can never recommend Kristen enough. As always Kristen did a fantastic job watching Ares for me! With my job taking me out of town a lot, it’s a comfort to know that my dog Ares will always be in good hands when Kristen is watching him. Thanks again Kristen for being so awesome! 😊”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I enjoy being around both dogs and cats, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I may not have formal training, but I’m patient, attentive, and willing to learn each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every animal with kindness and care, just as I would my own. 🐾 I work during the weekdays, but I’m available on weekends and would love to spend my free time caring for pets while earning a little extra money. I love being around both dogs and cats, so pet sitting feels like a fun and rewarding way to spend my time. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their pets’ needs and make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to be patient and learn what makes each one feel at home. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands! 🐾❤️
“First time using Rover and Amber was great! My cat is very shy and kind of scared of people (he’s a rescue) so while he did hide from her she provided updates that he did eat which was great having that peace of mind while gone. When we came home he was happy as can be. Definitely recommend!”
“She was great with my 2 dogs and went above and beyond for me. I did have to modify my days on her due to event being so close to home I could do drop in myself. Great to work with and so glad I picked her by the end of the week.”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for family, friends, and classmates. My profession also has me working with all kinds of animals, so I am very used to working with different animals. I work on a 3 days on, 3 days off schedule, so I can work unusual days and hours at times. With this schedule I also am able to work different days each week. I constantly am providing my dog and dogs I care for with enrichment. It could be something small like spraying their tennis ball with a new smell or something complex like a new puzzle feeder. I try to constantly make them think for their treats and to help stimulate their natural senses
“Laurel was super nice and available at the last minute! Communicated with us through the whole process and kept us updated with every visit! Usually I’m hesitant about giving a stranger access to our home, but with her I only got positive vibes! And she is awesome! I will recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter for their pets! Thank you so much Laurel, we really appreciate you!”
“Crystal was incredible with our boy! He can be kind of a handful, but she has such a way with animals and they were immediately best friends. She was so kind and playful with him and kept him great company. We will definitely be using her in the future and everyone else should too!”

“Chris was absolutely wonderful with our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was incredibly attentive, followed every direction and request we left, and truly cared for our dog like he was his own. It was obvious from the updates and the way our dog responded that he felt comfortable, happy, and loved in Chris’s care. We really appreciated Chris’s kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. Knowing our dog was in such good hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!

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 .

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.
