“Amy is wonderful, glad to have found her to care for my babies. Love that she is tentative and works to ensure pups are happy. Looking forward to continuing services with her!”
About: As a dedicated dog lover and experienced pet owner who has raised two dogs, I treat every furry friend with the same level of care, respect, and unconditional love as my own. Having hands-on, long-term experience with dogs, I am deeply familiar with their daily routines, unique personalities, body language, and individual exercise needs. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, a peaceful walk, regular feeding, or gentle companionship, I ensure a safe, structured, and fun experience every single time. I am highly punctual, attentive to safety and cleanliness, and will keep you updated with photos and notes so you always have peace of mind while away. I look forward to meeting your beloved pet! I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets! I am available for walking or visits on Monday thru Thursday 6am to 6pm. I always make sure pets get individual attention, regular walks, and plenty of fun playtime. Safety, attentiveness, and your peace of mind are my top priorities. During my walks and home visits, I keep pets on a secure leash, follow your exact feeding and care routines, and provide plenty of play, love, and attention. I am experienced in handling dogs safely in public and will ensure your pup stays calm, safe, and well-cared for every step of the way!
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life, including nursing older dogs and adopted dogs with special needs. During the pandemic I volunteered for a dog rescue charity, which involved cleaning all cages, walking and playing with dogs with many different needs and traumas (including wheelies). I really enjoy walking and playing with dogs, often hiking and beach walking with my own. I presently have two small friendly dogs who enjoy company playing in our garden, or snoozing for long amounts of time. I am an artist who works at home, so have a flexible timetable for the majority of the time, and can give dogs time to play and relax whilst they are 'on holiday' with us. My husband also really enjoys looking after dogs and is on hand in the weekend and evenings for dog walking duty and snuggles. We have a high fenced garden that is large enough to play fetch in. There is also space for dogs to have their quiet space indoors to themselves, if they wish.
“Alexia is kind, professional and very knowledgeable. She even stayed longer and taught me a thing or two, really helping me understand my 5mo pup. Not only is she great at what she does, she is also a beautiful person. I will certainly be using her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jay! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place. Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and everything in between, and I truly believe every pet deserves personalized care, lots of love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cuddle buddy, playtime, meals, medication, a bath, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’m here to help! Long haired pups or kitties that hate being brushed? No problemo! I’m happy to tackle the fluff so you don’t have to. 😊 One thing that sets me apart is that I’m constantly learning. I love researching animal behavior, enrichment, nutrition, and the best ways to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, so I’ll care for your baby like they’re my own. You can expect plenty of updates, adorable photos, and the peace of mind that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! 🤍 Caring for pets has always been part of my daily routine. I attend college so I’m able to give your babies attention, care, and playtime before class, in between, and during study time! I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with my own cats and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for. I only accept bookings that fit my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make the experience easy for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll send lots of updates and pictures (because I know I’d want them too!) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. Whether your pet is super energetic, a little shy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very detail oriented and always pay attention to things like securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, and making sure your pet is happy and comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were treated like family while you were away.
About: I have been taking care of animals for a very long time and recently got into pet sitting! I’ve worked for quite a few families and have been pet sitting for over a year now. I dog walk as well and all the families I have worked for have loved me. I’ve taken care of mutiple animals at once with no trouble. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals with no issue! I am easy going and understanding and very energetic! I’m currently a college student and I love doing this as a part time job! I have plenty of good references and a very flexible schedule. I love working with animals and people and would be thrilled to help! Please consider me as a worthwhile candidate for your pet care position!
“Amy was so accommodating last minute for Stella and I. Perfect for what we needed for the day! She sent me picture and text updates. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future!!”
About: I am not in a place to financially support my own pet right now, but I am currently living without a pet in my house for the first time since I was 6 and I miss them dearly! By hiring me, you would not only be filling the dog shaped hole in my heart, but you would receive care you can count on. I am currently off for the summer from school, so my schedule can easily adapt to fit pretty much any needs! Once school starts back up, I am available weekends and after school hours. As a teacher, I am used to being entrusted with the safety and wellbeing of upwards of 15 students at a time. I take my responsibility to you and your pets just as seriously as I take my responsibility to my students and their families. When they are in my care, they are my first priority, always.
“Stephanie was so wonderful with our dog, Murphy. We appreciated her promptness, consistency, and we especially loved getting daily reports and pictures of our dog while we were away on vacation!”
“Great and professional! Sergio checked in frequently when my whole family was out of town for a wedding, really made me feel happy to know my cats with medical issues were in good hands.”
“Tayna was amazing with our three month old pup, Bane! We had to leave him for longer than we’ve ever left him before and we wanted a caring and loving person to come spend an hour with him. She came the day before for a meet and greet and her calming presence made Bane and us very happy and comfortable. She showed up right on time and not only took him for potty breaks and played; but also practiced some training with him on the leash, which is something we are still working on! Tayna gave us a big update at the end of their visit and also sent great videos and pictures. She even brought him a special treat, his new favorite toy. Bane can’t wait for his next visit with Tayna!”
“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 11, I have had 6 dogs at a time before all different sizes and breeds. I love all types of dogs. I am currently a college student but I commute to school so I can take care of the dogs in the mornings and weekends. I can watch dogs over night as well. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in, multiple dog beds and bowls. I have a lot of dog toys and treats.
“Sarah is a very responsible and professional caretaker who truly cares about animals. She took the time before our trip to come over and meet the cats and asked about their individual needs. We felt comfortable about leaving them with her and having her take care of them in their specific way - fed them separately and so forth. She was also very good about staying in touch and making sure things go well.”
About: I absolutely adore taking care of all types of dogs! Recently my family dachshund Chihuahua mix of 17 years passed away, and now, with the house empty, I’ve been looking for more ways to fill it again with love and care. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m an actress with a flexible schedule and a part time server with plenty of time to take care of your pups! I have my own car with plenty of space to transport multiple dogs. I have a big fenced in yard for pups to run around and play with toys! I am an active sitter and make sure dogs are attended to at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lowell
Steven was very patient with my special needs kitty and provided the extra care that he needed while I was away for an overnight trip. Pet care for my household is not as simple and straightforward as it used to be with normal, able-bodied cats, so it is extra important to have an experienced and caring sitter, and Steven did a great job!
This is our second time booking with Lisa and we still couldn't be happier with the care that she provided our cat, Lucy. We got so many pictures and details updates everyday. It's such a comfort to know that while we are away, Lucy is still well taken care of!
Nathan was an awesome pet sitter!! He took care of our Kitties shortly after they moved to a new home. He was so understanding and excellent at communicating. He sent tons of pictures and updated us after each visit! Additionally (!!) he cleaned all of our cats dishes and spoons and left them to dry even though we had not asked. He truly went above and beyond 😊
Nicole took great care of our cat, Onion. She was professional and communicative. She proactively identified a potential medical issue and we were able to manage it with our vet. She also handled Onion's spiciness safely and calmly. I'd recommend Nicole to any cat parent!
Philip did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat while I was away. He was always communicative, keeping me updated and making me feel confident that she was in good hands. He made sure she was fed on schedule and that all of her food, water, and litter were kept clean. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being, and I truly appreciated the attention and kindness he showed. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Lily is a godsend, she was able to support us on shorter notice and provide the best care for our beloved pets. We so appreciate her and look forward to booking in the future. She has such a gift for working with animals and takes the best photos where you can tell that everyone is having a great time. Many thanks Lily!!
This was the second time Melanie pet sit for us and our experience was just as good as the first time. Melanie is dependable, communicative, and will take care of your pets like they are her own. We will 100% be rebooking next time we are out of town. I can’t say enough good things about Melanie!
I highly recommend Mackenzie! She is very responsive to all of my messages and timely in her drop-in visits. She watched my two free roam bunnies and was super great with them! It was a great peace of mind to know she was looking after them. I will definitely keep her in mind for my next trip!!
Glens is always fantastic with drop ins for my orange cat! She genuinely loves your animals & goes above and beyond to take care of our pets. She is always the first person I message to see if they’re available before making any booking choices! I would recommend her to anyone.

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 .

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.
