“Lizeth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She checked in daily, kept the areas clean and tidy, and followed our instructions beautifully. I highly recommend her for your future pet care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
About: I grew up with cats in my household my whole life I have delt with cats who have insulin problems which required medication administered via shot. I have dog sat for my friends and family most of my life often sitting overnight to help with the animals needs. I am a current student at St Phillips college and I am not working, I have classes Monday and Wednesday 9am-12pm and have an open schedule otherwise The animals in my home are always fed right, have fresh litter, and plenty of toys. A animal is apart of one’s family and depends on their owner I understand the responsibility of owning an animal as well as the needs of an animal. I will treat your home and your animal as if they were mine.

My husband, Chris, and I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where pets are treated like family. Whether you’re traveling or working long hours, we’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care while you’re away. We have a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor fun, and dogs are always welcome on the furniture because we believe they’re part of the family. Our home also includes a friendly outdoor tortoise, Luna, who enjoys soaking up the sunshine in the backyard. We provide the best experience for each guest, we offer regular potty breaks and backyard playtime. We’d be honored to care for your pet and help them feel right at home while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! ❤️ I work from home, so pets fit perfectly into my day! We start with morning outdoor time, then lots of play breaks and cuddles throughout the day. I’m around for regular potty breaks, attention, and love your pets will feel right at home with me. In my home, pets are treated like family! They can relax on the furniture, play in the fenced yard, and get plenty of love and attention all day. When caring for pets in your home, I will try and follow your routine to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Karynne is phenomenal! She was so nice and always on time to check on my dog both days we booked her, she made sure there was nothing else that needed to be done before she left and it was greatly appreciated. 🩷 you won’t regret booking her!”
About: I have owned animals most of my life. I had my first horse when I was 10 and my first dog when I was 12. Since then I have always had 1 and up to 4 pets at a time. I have had both dogs and cats, and still do. I have raised several puppies, but now I only adopt older dogs. When I travel, I always prefer for someone to come to my house where my pets feel the most comfortable and safe. Therefor my services are to stay with your pet/pets at their home. I am semi retired and need to stay active and engaged. I strive to schedule everyone's needs, but will not over promise and under deliver. Currently I am open 7 days a week for walking, sitting or play dates. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I live in a condominium with a small yard for the dogs to enjoy. Nevertheless, they still need more activity and stimulation so they still get daily walks. Olive the cat, comes and goes as she pleases, but is well fed and knows her love is here. All of my animals come from a rescue organization or the Animal Defense League. They are well loved, fed 2x a day, sleep on furniture and my bed with me, and of course taken on walks daily. I also, have a groomer that comes to the casa to bath and manicure them as they feel most secure with her than going to a grooming location. All of my pets are female, and have regular visits to the vet for the necessities.
“Jessica fulfilled a last minute request for me to drop in on Bella. She was responsive and provided excellent service. She also provided several pictures. I would use her again!”
“Ben was absolutely fantastic. I have used him since this stay and am so happy to have found him. My dogs get so excited when he visits. He is the best!!!!”
“Brianna was such a life saver. I know it can be overwhelming with my pit bulls but she handled everything so gracefully. One of my pups had an accident in her cage which is so unusual but Brianna went above and beyond to clean her and the cage out for me. I’m blessed to have had an amazing Rover helper. She is awesome! She adjusted to the pups so well. I’m sure they miss her already! Will definitely recommend her services!”
“Hannah did a fantastic job and really went above and beyond. We are over The moon that she took care of or pup with as much compassion in love as her own animals.”
“Megan was wonderful. She was prompt and thorough with her check ins and faithfully sent us pictures of our fur baby while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Philana is a true professional while also being very personable. She took great care of my 3 cats, plants, and was considerate in brining in a delivery. I booked with her very short notice, the day before, and she truly exceeded my expectations! Very thankful to her and the care she provided. 10/10 recommend!”
“Dawn was incredibly attentive and stepped in to help us with a last-minute plans. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole process stress-free. I would highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
“She was great, super helpful and on time. Took my lil guy on walks and cleaned up after him every visit. Also sent me plenty of pictures to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend her services to anyone going on a trip and needs someone to watch their pet while they’re gone”

Second time having Jennifer come check on our dogs while we were out of town and she was great! One of our dogs left a mess for her and then one of the neighbor’s dogs came through our fence and she was nice enough take him around front to give him back. We don’t go out of town very often but will continue to book drop ins with Jennifer when we do :)

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.
