“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
“Cheyene did a great job with our anxious pup and crazy husky! She was on time, sent great pics, and gave us feedback about how Zelda and Willow were behaving to make us feel more at ease with our first time using Rover.”

About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my family pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding depending on my class schedule, and weekend stays so you can have your weekend getaways knowing your pet is safe. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, patient, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
“We were very happy with Ronny, he took great care of our dog Daisy who is a bit hyper at times. She usually doesn't do well with strangers but took to him almost immediately. In addition to that he communicated with us frequently and sent pictures from all his visits with her.”
“As always, Gabbie took wonderful care of my cat. Gabbie always has open communication, awesome care skills for not only my cat but also our home, and makes sure that my cat is loved!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years now. I have three pups of our own and come from a family of pet lovers! Love spending time with pups and helping them keep comfortable in the comfort of their own home. I work full time in a flexible and hybrid environment. Whether the pups are with me or I am staying with the pups in the owner’s home, I make sure they are comfortable and getting all necessary activities. I will work with each pet family’s care guidelines to make sure they are getting the best and stress free care! For us, we have a fenced in yard which helps us with ongoing activities.
About: Dogs are my passion. I've always had dogs in my house growing up. From taking care of neighbors, to past teachers, friends and widespread family, people know they can trust me with their furry friends. In 2019 I started professionally walking dogs, and explored pet sitting. I worked with a variety of different animals, from day to day, and over night! I have experience feeding (Free and timed), giving oral/topical medication, bathing/brushing, walking, and lastly giving LOTS of love and affection to your perfect pup! Dogs always come first in my line of work! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for outside of my full-time work schedule. I work during the weekdays, but I have open availability all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and boarding needs. My weekends allow me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, providing plenty of playtime, companionship, exercise, and personalized care. I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting and boarding, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I strive to make their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment with the routines, care, and attention they are used to. I provide detailed updates after every visit or walk, including information about their behavior, activities, meals, bathroom breaks, and anything important I notice. I take pride in caring for each pet down to the smallest detail, whether that means following specific instructions, maintaining their schedule, administering medications when needed, or simply giving them the extra love and attention they deserve. My goal is always for both pets and owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are apart.
“Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash”

Kara was absolutely amazing! My Newfie tends to be on the a little bit more standoffish and he loved Kara from the word go, and Knox just loves everyone. She was great with communication and the pics were hilarious. We will be using her in the future for the boys 💚

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.
