“This was my first time with her as a dog sitter and I had a great experience. I felt very confident throughout, especially because of her detailed updates, photos, and clear communication about anything that came up. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of my dogs. They were in excellent condition when I returned. I will definitely book her again in the near future.”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She provided drop-in visits twice a day on the days when my boyfriend or neighbor wasn’t able to be there, and she handled all of their complicated little routines so easily. I was honestly a little nervous about finding someone who could keep up with everything, but Emma was fantastic. Her daily reports were incredibly detailed, and I really appreciated knowing how each visit went and how my pets were doing throughout my trip. She made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were being checked on, cared for, and getting everything they needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emma and would happily book her again! ❤️”
“Christina was great dropping in to visit our dog and cat for a week while we were away. Even though our dog got a bit worked up one day and got into some chewing trouble, she handled it smoothly and even cleaned up. Will definitely trust her again to watch our pets!”
“Justin has been amazing with our dogs! He stayed overnight with them and has also walked them, and we’ve had a great experience every time. He’s reliable, sends plenty of pictures and updates, and it’s clear he genuinely loves and cares for our pups. We always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm used to structured schedules that include morning and evening potty breaks, set feeding times, naps, and check-ins throughout the day. I understand that some pets may need flexibility if they're sleeping, while others thrive on consistency. I make sure each pet gets attention, potty breaks, and time to relax, following their usual routine as closely as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm used to structured schedules that include morning and evening potty breaks, set feeding times, naps, and check-ins throughout the day. I understand that some pets may need flexibility if they're sleeping, while others thrive on consistency. I make sure each pet gets attention, potty breaks, and time to relax, following their usual routine as closely as possible. I prioritize safety and close supervision at all times. I'm careful with leashes, doors, feeding instructions, and temperature needs. I follow specific care instructions such as clothing for warmth when needed, proper harness use, and monitoring bathroom habits. I maintain a calm, clean environment and respect each pet's individual needs, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for.
About: I have a passion for dogs ever since I was a little girl. I have a dog of my own named Brownie who I adore. I know what it is to care and love your furry baby like it’s my own. I make time for your pupps weather it’s a walk, play time, or feeding to bring the love, care and attention while your gone. I have a fenced yard with a routine along with Brownie to keep your pups accompanied. If you prefer for me to stop in and care for your pups as well.
“Melissa did a great job with my Sasha & left my home in mint condition. Care instructions were followed to the letter, took lots of photos & left notes on how Sasha was doing. At one point when I checked in on them, I saw Melissa was wiping Sasha‘s eye boogies🥹 I have another trip towards the end of the year, I know exactly who I’ll be booking with. Thanks Melissa! 💐”
About: Hi, I am a current graduate student, and animal lover. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young and pet-sit for my friends all the time. I am eager and willing to help out! I am currently graduated from school, so my hours are usually flexible as I look for jobs right now. Excited to help and look out for your pets. I usually pet sit for my friends when they’re out of town, so I’m open to doing drop ins and feeding and walking your pets for those times. Always making sure they are fed and their needs taken care of.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My remote, flexible work schedule makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality attention. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, spending time outdoors, going for walks, and keeping them happy and cared for.
“Janniqua and Steven were quick to respond to my short notice request to pet sit for my cat. They were very communicative and took great care of my cat and home!”
“Christine was great with our pup and took amazing care of him. She was always on time, communicative with updates, and went the extra mile when our dog's separation anxiety left him with an upset stomach. Will definitely keep her at the top of our list for taking care of our pup in the future.”
“Larissa was reliable and consistent. Knowing she was caring for my cats helped me feel assured that they were in good hands. Larissa was compassionate with them. She communicated with me daily and followed through on my detailed instructions. I recommend Larissa and will call on her for future cat sitting.”
About: Hi! I’m Devin, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of every size, shape, and personality. I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors — and now I’m opening my doors (and my heart!) to pups on Rover. Whether your dog is a high-energy goofball or a snuggly couch companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home. I've trained my own little pup from 8 weeks old and he's a Shiba (well known for their stubborn personality) I dont work weekends or holidays, plus my lunch breaks are typically on the longer side (1 to 3 hrs). Fitting in check ins, potty breaks and walks are a piece of cake. I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and keeping each pet’s individual comfort level in mind. I pay attention to body language and energy, and I always go slow with nervous or shy dogs so they can warm up at their own pace.
About: Since moving to Florida, I had a hard time adjusting. Having a dog was a pretty big change for the family, but we soon fell in love with our fellow pets, despite all the ups and downs of life. Our third and final dog, Giro, lived with us for a bit over half of my existence, and losing him proved especially painful. As an autistic person, I have gone through many struggles in life, and pets—whether my own or someone else’s—bring me joy and relief whenever I come across them. My professional experience is limited, but I hope to make the most of my life experience to take care of your pets. UPDATE: Due to lack of specialized training, I am no longer taking in Belgian Malinois pups. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I would prefer for all parties—human and pet alike—to be safe, and to do that I need to be aware of my limits and be more selective of what types of dogs I can take in. My schedule is fairly flexible, though I may be unavailable at certain times due to appointments or family/personal business. On the rare chance I have to leave the house, one of my family members will be available to supervise the pet until I return. I currently don't have house sitting available due to limitations in transport, but I offer day care services at my home. My family house has a fenced yard, but the yard has plenty of space for small-sized dogs. The interior is a bit small and my family is more accustomed to laid-back dogs, but I have experience sitting for more energetic pets as well and can make accomodations whenever possible. Our neighborhood is quiet with low traffic, creating a perfect environment for dog walks! Access to furniture is restricted, but I will personally allow pets on my own bed if they need rest. (For context, my bedroom leads right into the backyard.) I also take care of a physically disabled sister, who travels around the house by crawling, so please make me aware if the dog is especially energetic. Unfortunately, I cannot take cats as our house is not cat-proofed. Due to limited space, I typically prefer dogs of around 30 pounds or less, but I may take in larger dogs depending on their breed and temperament.
“Lesia was extraordinary in taking care of Jackson! Very kind, genuine and provided detailed daily updates without prompting! I will definitely be using her again to take care of my baby :)”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. In college, I also provided dog walking services, I made sure every walk was safe, engaging, and tailored to each dog's pace and routine. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience while giving you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I am currently a newly graduated student. I am looking to look after your pet any day of the week! I prefer mornings and dinner time since I will be studying for my state board exam during the day! I am flexible to walk your pet in your backyard or in the neighborhood! During walks, your dog's safety is my top priority, and I'll always ensure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.
“We were so grateful to Rylee for popping in to check on Benny. He is a senior boy, and she took things at his pace and was so sweet to him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rylee again!”
About: Your pets deserve more than just someone to stop by and fill a food bowl—they deserve someone who truly cares. With professional veterinary hospital experience since 2020 and training in canine and feline CPR, your pets are in knowledgeable, capable hands. I treat every dog as if they were my own. That means plenty of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and one-on-one attention—not just the basics. I also love capturing adorable and funny moments, so you’ll receive photo updates that let you see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy, and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the same care I’d want for my own furry family. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I help care for my two Shibas, so my days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Working in a veterinary hospital since 2020 has also made caring for animals second nature. Spending time with pets isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention, while making sure they’re comfortable and feel safe in their familiar environment. I also send regular photo updates, so you can see your pet happy and enjoying their time while you’re away.

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.
