“Tanita took great care of my 2 dogs while we went away for a few days and it was smooth! I loved receiving updates and pictures after every check-in. She was always quick to respond and was very friendly and professional. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Saraih was great, she helped us with drop ins when we were in a bind with work schedules and our dog had just had surgery a few days prior. Everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Offering overnight & Extended Stay Boarding for Dogs and Cats – Where Your Pets Are Treated Like Royalty (With a Side of Belly Rubs) Whether you're off on a weekend getaway or an extended adventure, I offer safe, loving overnight and long term boarding for dogs, cats, and any other animals that might need to be looked after. From a young age, I was the little girl bringing home the stray cats, dogs and even the occasional blow snakes pleading to keep them (sadly, I was never allowed to lol). That early passion turned into a lifelong love for animals of all kinds. Raised in what could be described as a miniature zoo, I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles, hamsters, and even horses. So, you could say I’ve had some hands on experience with just about every kind of creature, and I genuinely love them all! Your pets will receive exceptional, personalized care, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you're away. I have a securely fenced backyard where pups can get some fresh air, stretch their legs, do their business, and enjoy a good game of fetch if that’s their thing. I am a stay at home momma (I do some work from home for my husband’s business) and I have a very flexible schedule, which means your pet will rarely be left alone and will always have someone nearby to go for walks and offer treats, tummy rubs, or a cozy lap. I have two animal loving daughters Hope (10) and Kendall (16) who take their unofficial roles as “assistant snugglers” very seriously (to the point where they will actually argue over who gets to sleep with the dog in their bed). Also part of the household is Buddy, our 9 year old teacup Yorkie. He’s tiny, but don’t let his size fool you, he will sometimes squeeze out a bark or two at new doggy friends upon meeting to establish his “alpha status” (it's a small dog thing), but after he gets that first initial bark out then he’s over it, and he gets along well with other animals, especially with cats. Most of the time, he’s doing his own thing (like sleeping on the back of the couch like a cat) and enjoying the perks of being a senior pup with main-character energy. And last but not least! We also have one small, two legged wild card, our 2year old son Christian (who sometimes reminds me more of a baby raccoon with how much he loves to explore and get into everything, including the trash can). He’s sweet and snuggly, and very smart and curious. He occasionally tries to sneak a bite of dog food or help himself to a dog treat or two when no one’s looking, but don’t worry, we keep a close eye on him (and the snacks!). While we make sure everyone sticks to their own food groups, he definitely adds a little extra character to the house, speaking of which (in full transparency) my home is cozy, welcoming, and full of love… and also sometimes full of toys, friends, crumbs, and the general chaos that comes with raising three kids and a Yorkie with a complex. So while it may not look exactly like a magazine spread as much as I’d like it to, it’s a happy, safe, and pet-loving environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. I understand dogs can get excited or overly vocal in new environments. I use calm supervision, structure, and positive redirection to help manage barking and keep all pets comfortable and relaxed during their stay While you're away, I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can see how much fun your fur baby is having, and rest easy knowing that they are safe, happy, and maybe even a little bit spoiled. Being away from your pet is hard, but leaving them in loving, experienced (and slightly sticky or crumb-covered) hands? That should be the easy part. I also offer a $20 promo for all new clients that book with me for the first time if you use the link below: https://www.rover.com/sit/kellil04186 I work from home, offering flexibility to take dogs out as needed. Throughout the day, I have ample time to walk, play with, cuddle, and give attention to your pet(s). I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely potty and play for short periods. Well-behaved, house-trained dogs are welcome to roam freely indoors. Others may need to be crate-trained (I have extra crates available). Pets are allowed on the couch, and I will follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, schedules, and furniture access.
About: I grew up in the mountains helping out on farms with all kinds of animals, and I have always had cats and dogs in my life. I have two cats and two dogs now, all very friendly with people and other animals. I'm experiencing watching friends and family's pets short and long term. I worked at a vet for years, and my wife and I have taken on rescues with health issues as well. My wife and I both work 3 days a week each and opposite days so someone is pretty much always home, unless we are on a trip ourselves. I have a good sized house and fenced yard with two friendly doggos, I have a laundry room that is set up for dogs so if your pup needs his own space we can do that. We have a cat that roams the house, but I can keep dogs and cats separated if needed just let me know ahead of time.
“Jade was wonderful with our cats. She went above and beyond her twice daily visits and played with the girls and gave them treats. She always posted cute pictures. We knew thay were in good hands, Thank you so much.”
“Jacob was amazing! Super friendly and kind! Kept me up to date with pictures and a thorough summary of his visit each day. Cant recommend jacob enough! We will definitely have him watch kitty in the future.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and any animal really, and have over 10 years of pet care experience. I can help with puppies in training and comfortable with senior pups and have some experience with administrating some medications. I will love and care for your pup(s) like my own! I currently work part time close to home making my schedule is very flexible as I am home most of the time. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I have a very large fenced yard with plenty of grass. My house has a built in doggy door for those pups who can let themselves in and out as much as they’d like. (There is also a back door I’m happy to let them in and out too!) I have a 10 year old lab named Charlie who is very mild tempered and gets along with anyone. We love going on walks and playing in the backyard, so your pup will be well exercised and played with!
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and I currently have on of my own and adore him. I love helping out with any fur baby that needs a little extra attention. I know how to give oral medicine and I've spent a lot of time around senior dogs. If there is anything that would help me better understand your babies please let me know ! I work a a four day 10hour schedule so I'm home 3 days a week. Always free on weekends and if needed on the days that I work I can stop by anytime after 7pm. Just send me a message and I will do my best to check in on your pups through out the week if that is something you are looking for. I have a fenced backyard with lots of space, if your puppy is kennel trained he/she will have easy access to one. We also have a doggy door if that helps them. I have an endless amount of toys and treats if that is something that will make your fur baby feel more at home.
“Four stars for finding an alive and healthy cat, 1 less star for filthy litter box, bone dry water fountain and crusted dry wet food bowl and visit hours that were sporadic and disconnected from requested slots. Meghan might be an awesome dog walker and pet host, though I have not used her for those services, I will hesitate to recommend her for cat drop ins. I have used better cat sitters from Rover.”
About: I have dog sat off and on for the last year and a half! I have dog sat for big dogs, small dogs, cats, pets with medical problems, etc... I have taken dogs to vet appointments on multiple occasions, some scheduled and others due to medical emergencies while owners were gone. I go above and beyond for any pets I take care of and would love to take care of your babies in my free time! I am currently working part time and am enrolled in 3 college classes, one being online and the other two are three hours back to back in the afternoon MWF. I have a pretty flexible schedule with a lot of breaks in between my plans usually. I go above and beyond for the pets I take care of as I am a very empathetic person. I also love hanging out with pets and love to give them love and make sure they are cared for!
About: I've taken care of my pets for the last 7 years and have also helped family and neighbors with their pet care needs. I prefer already trained dogs. I'm currently unemployed which gives me a lot of free time to meet your pet care needs. Please let me know how I can be of service for your pets. To contact me please text. Keeping your pets safe is important to me. I will follow all instructions and be aware of your pets needs. I want to make sure everyone is happy and healthy.
About: I have been with and around every dog type since I could remember. I am not fearful around big dogs, my dog is a big lovable goof. I have been through an extensive training course with my dog so I can help keep training with yours. My schedule is currently pretty open so as long as I have a few days of notice I can help with your needs. Whether it’s just a walk or need an over night stay. In my hime I have a fence and a kennel that help keep my dog safe. In others homes I will accommodate whatever their situation. So if they have a kennel and want to keep their skills I will use it. If they don’t have a fence the dog with be on a leash. The dogs safety is the most important.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals of all shapes and sizes. From grumpy elders, introverted and awkward, to overcuddly (actually, I don't think it's possible for dogs to be overcuddly, haha), to high-energy pups, I love them all! I have experience caring for dogs with reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, anxiety, and medical needs . Dogs who may be misunderstood or who require extra patience are welcome! As someone who has had a reactive dog, I understand the struggle it can be to find someone to trust your pet with. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and will work closely with you to make sure your dog feels safe and cared for. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their routine and needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate time, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I will respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m comfortable with detailed routines, leash safety, medication instructions, feeding needs, and dogs who require extra patience or boundaries. I will always pay attention to your pet’s body language and comfort level, and I’ll treat them with patiencr and respect.
About: I have trained my German shorthair pointer, 7 years young. He goes everywhere with me, my best friend. And my 13lbs rescue mix who is around 1.5 years old who is “in-training” Any day and time. I’m free as I look for a new job. I can accept and be available for your dogs needs and wants. I have kennels if they like them, and free roam if they prefer to explore. I have two dog loving dogs that live with me.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
I highly recommend Sarah M as a pet sitter. She took excellent care of my cats on 2 weekends when I was traveling. She arrived on time, sometimes early, to tend to my kitties. She used her time to pamper them with lots of petting and affection. She followed all my requests and instructions. I was able to watch her doing her tasks and talk to her on a video chat app. I asked her to feed them canned food, which she did. I asked her to give them catnip and she did that also. She cleaned the litterboxes each day. She kept the floors clean. Overall, Sarah is my top choice when selecting a pet sitter.

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.
