“Zion was kind, punctual, inquisitive, and clearly cared a lot about making sure my pets were comfortable and happy. My cats warmed up to her faster than they do with most people! I am so happy with the services provided and would highly recommend booking with Zion (:”
“Kaila was a LIFESAVER! I had something come up and needed someone to watch my Cooper. I was struggling to find anyone and Kaila came in to save the day! I had some mixups and she worked with me on some schedule adjustments and making things work. So incredibly thankful!! ☺️”
About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.
About: Currently our fur babies are a cat Pebbles that is 9 and Spike our dog that is 3. We have in the past had a beagle as well as multiple cats. Growing up I had cats while my husband has always had dogs And we love both! I work nights 3 days a week at the hospital while my husband is a teacher during the day so someone is always home during the day and night. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play in. We also live in a quiet neighborhood if your dog prefers leashed walks.
About: I've grown up with two English Labs my entire life, and after I left the house, I stayed around animals, working on two farms with farm dogs that followed me around for all my tasks. I love younger dogs that like to play, but with a 14 year old lab at home, I also know how to take care of an old fella. Available most weeknights and weekends, I'm a law student at Mercer so I am busiest on Mondays and Wednesdays but have a relatively flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and the dogs! I have an office job that I'm usually at from 8:30am-4:30pm, but my schedule can be more flexible. I am available to come by during my lunch break to let dogs out or take care of whatever you need me to. My fiance is unfortunately allergic to dogs, but I take care of my Mom's two labs as often as she'll let me! I love to play with a dog, my childhood dog was my best friend to play soccer and anything else with. In your home, I'm always extremely respectful of privacy and understand your wants and needs. I also have farm experience if any yardwork is required for longer stays.

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets and your home. I have experience pet sitting and am comfortable following each pet’s usual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved - and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule while I do freelance remote work, which allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I can adjust my schedule around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all care instructions closely and am especially careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and any household rules. I’m respectful of each client’s home, clean up after the pets and myself, and provide regular photos and updates. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I worked at an animal shelter for a couple of years when I was in high school as well. I currently have two small dogs that I adore. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My weekends are normally open so I am available to check on your pet throughout the day as needed. I will send you a text with a picture at each visit or walk. I work full time during the week so any drop in visits will be outside of my normal work hours (I’m usually home from 6:15am-4pm Monday through Friday. I am open for boarding during the week. The dogs will have access to a doggy door at all times. I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water and can administer medication if needed. For walks, I will make sure the ground is not too hot for their feet.
About: Hi, I’m Peyton! I’m a responsible and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a college student-athlete, I’m organized, active, and committed to providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I have a fenced yard, and if I am not letting dogs out into fence yard, I use the leashes to keep them very safe
“Emily did a great job with Appa! I made last minute plans to go out of town overnight and Emily was more than accommodating with scheduling a meet-n-greet. She was very kind and looked like her and appa had a fun time. i’ll definitely be booking her in the future. :) thanks again!”
“Sean is the best groomer. We have had several meet ups and today he did our large Akita mix and two large bull dogs as well as our small elderly pack member- they look perfect. Nail clipping is always a chore but Sean comes to you and handles each individual dog carefully and respectfully according to their needs! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. While I don’t have any, people around me trust me to look after theirs. I’ve always had cats and currently have 4 of my own. I have also had experience taking care of reptiles as well! It’s always nice to feel needed in an animals life and to give them the love they deserve. I do not currently have a job- so I am available when you need someone most! Just shoot me a message and I’ll reply asap! I make sure my own pets feel comfortable in their space and I’d make sure yours felt the same. Providing a comfortable environment for pets is essential to gain trust and respect from them.

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 .

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.
