“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
“Samantha did an excellent job with my three dogs. They are all 65 lbs, two require pills and the third is a very strong minded (and bodied) dog. She treated them with love and respect. I appreciate how diligent she was with my dogs and how she did not rush in and out. Thank you!!!”
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
About: As a kid growing up, I had my own “business” around the neighborhood where I would care for pets in their homes. Later I worked as a veterinary tech, and feel comfortable administering needed medications or providing bathing/nail clipping services. Other than kids, animals have always been a passion of mine. I currently am a stay at home mom to 3 year old twins. I will always make your beloved pets a priority and schedule into my day as needed. I prefer to keep pets in their home, this can be a safe space for them since they feel more comfortable there versus a new home with completely new people. I can stay there with the pets, and treat them as my own. Each has their own quirks and personalities, but catering to those needs is essential. I’ve watched a variety of animals from pigs to ferrets, bearded dragons and fish, and more! Ideally searching for a consistent dog that needs walking that is good with children. One of my twins is in early intervention school and the other is with me almost all of the time. Husband will be home in evenings for overnight needs. Stay at home mom to 3 year old twins, so quick drop ins during the day and boarding in the evening would be no problem. Would love to find a consistent dog to walk during the day while one of my kids is in early intervention preschool! I’ve worked in boarding and understand the importance of giving animals what they need. They all have quirks that we love about our own pets and require lots of love especially when their humans are away.
“Betty watched our cats while we were out of town on a long weekend and took such good care of them-in addition to regular check ins with photos, she even left us little valentines from our cats for when we returned including their photos. Thank you Betty and highly recommend!”
“Tim is an absolute delight. Flexible and easy to work with. I was impressed at the meet and greet that he was completely unfazed when my little dogs were snarly and scared. He was so good with them and they both warmed up to him quickly. Having had other bad sitter experiences, I felt so at ease during my trip knowing that we had someone reliable giving our two dogs and two cats lots of love and attention. Can’t recommend him enough. He’ll take great care of your babies.”
“Beth did a wonderful job at keeping an eye on my voluptuous cat while we were on vacation. I was a little nervous but I can see in my pets pictures she warmed up and is now familiar with Beth for future visits. She was well loved, fed and taken care of. Thanks Beth for everything.”
“Kathrine was fantastic! She came out for a meet and greet prior to the booking and immediately hit it off with our dog. She was professional and customer friendly start to finish. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Kathrine!”

“Brianna is everything you want in someone to care for your fur babies. On incredibly short notice she came for a meet and greet staying much longer than anyone could expect, but she clearly wanted our pup to be comfortable with her. It is clear in every interaction that she wants what is best for the animals in her care.”
About: I’ve taken care of large (120lb+) dogs for a good chunk of my life, as well as medium and small senior dogs. I have extensive experience with cats, especially timid anxious kitties. I also have experience with small animals such as ferrets, hamsters, and rats! There’s no animal that I will not care for and enjoy every second of it I currently work a part time job 9am-1pm, home by 1:15pm. Back in the car heading to pick up my kid by 3:40pm, home by 4:30pm. Available most of the day every Saturday from 9am-3:40. Unavailable Wednesday and Sunday. Having 3 fur babies myself I’m well equipped in calm animal care, currently having a anxious cat myself I am well mannered with boundaries and body language, I have the ability to slip in, scoop boxes, fill bowls, and sneaks out. But also spend as much time as your fur babies might need with them. I am also experienced with dog sitting and walking, having dog sat for multiple breeds of dog and living with a large dog; I’m equipped to walk multiple medium/small or a large dog.
About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands! Hello, my availability is posted in my calendar, please check to see if the dates you need a sitter are available in my schedule. If so I will be more than happy to watch after your animals! Thank you! I like to maintain schedule, dietary restrictions, exercise, walking and feeding schedules. Any maintenance that comes along with watching after your pets. You let me know what you need, and I can do it.
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ludwigs Corner
Himal was amazing with my two pretty untrained medium-sized dogs who are wholly unused to having a sitter and very attached to me. She watched them upstairs in my house while I hosted a large party downstairs. She was incredibly patient with them and clearly was closely observing their behaviors and changes over time throughout the time the party lasted, learning what worked for them and analyzing why. I can see now that it was a very challenging assignment because they dogs knew I was in the house; nevertheless, she made the very best of it and when I went upstairs to check on everyone at one point, I was very impressed to see the one who is most wary of people-who-are-not-me lying on the bed accepting pets as Himal sat next to her. Himal is exceptionally thoughtful and kind and I highly recommend her!

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.
