“Melissa and Dane are absolutely AMAZING! They saved us when we had to go out of town on such short notice. They are very responsive, kind and loving towards our dog and even bought her a toy (so sweet). I promise you will not regret having them take care of your pets ☺️”
About: We have loved and cared for dogs nearly all our lives. We don’t just see them as pets; they are family members who deserve all the comfort and attention we can give. We are currently the proud family of Pippie, and we both play an active role in her care. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be lonely. Pippie is the best of both worlds - she loves to play and hang out with other dogs, but she also loves to just relax and nap. We know how hard it is to leave your furry friend behind, which is why we’re committed to providing a trustworthy, safe, and loving environment. We’ll treat your dog exactly how we treat our own—with patience, care, and plenty of affection. Because I work from home full-time, I am here to provide constant supervision, mid-day potty breaks, and companionship. Our routine revolves around Pippie's needs—mornings start with playtime and breakfast, followed by several play sessions throughout the day to burn off energy, and she usually naps under my desk as I work. With my husband and daughter coming and going, there is a constant rotation of attention. Someone is always available to care for your pet. Your dog won't just be 'fitting in' to our schedule; they will be part of our family activities, from lounging in my office while I work to evening play in the yard. We treat our guests’ schedules—like specific feeding times or medication needs—with the same priority as our own. In our home, your dog is treated like a member of the family. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe, off-leash playtime. Our care routine is built on consistency and comfort: Feeding & Hydration: We stick to a twice-a-day feeding schedule (or whatever your specific routine requires), and fresh water is always available. Active Supervision: Since I work from home, I provide constant supervision. Your pet will never be left unattended in the yard. Affection: We are a 'cuddle-heavy' household! Whether it’s lounging nearby while I work or getting extra attention from my husband and daughter, your dog will be showered with love. Personalized Care: We understand every dog is different. Whether they need high-energy play in the yard or a quiet spot to nap, we adapt our day to meet their specific personality and needs.
“Sydney is very kind and accommodating. When she came to my house she noticed some packages on the door step so she picked them up and brought them into the house. Zero loves her. I am so thankful she was able to give him his medications.”
“Kimberly did an excellent job! I hired her to do four 30-minute drop-in visits at my home over 1 1/2 days while I was out of town. I have two dogs. Through the Rover app, I received texts from her of when she arrived, when she left, and photos and comments of her visits. She played ball fetch with them and kept them very happy. I definitely will recommend Kimberly to my family, friends and neighbors.”
About: I was always the one growing up that took on the caretaker role when it comes to animals. Making sure all animals are fed and have clean water and bowls. My favorite part of caring for pets is walks and playing with them. When my dog had babies I was there the entire time making sure mama was doing well, giving attention and making sure i could give support when needed. I grew up with multiple dogs at once and I understand it takes time and effort to care for them. I am available after 2pm monday through Fridays and on weekends I am free all day. I am looking for some companionship with cute dogs as I don't own a dog currently. I actually had an ankle injury in the beginning of this year and I am recovering well, just need extra cash to pay for some medical bills. I would love to spend my other free time spending it with your fur babies. I am new to rover app. Gaining your animals trust is very important to me. I will always be watching your animal when taken outside even if your yard is gated.
“First time user of ROVER and we can’t be any happier than having chosen Hannah to look after our 3 cats while we were gone. She was very responsive, punctual and the cats seemed very happy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HANNAH”
About: I’ve owned, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life, including seniors and rescue dogs. One of my dogs lived to be **19 years old**. I rescued her after her previous owner moved to France, and she even understood commands in both **French and English!** She spent her senior years being loved and spoiled alongside my Havanese, Bella. I rescued **Bella at six months old**, and I’ve had the pleasure of spoiling her ever since. She is 13 now. She’s still going strong and remains one of the sweetest dogs I know. I’m also very comfortable caring for larger dogs. I love my daughters’ Boxer and Pit Bull mix and frequently care for them—even letting them pile into bed with me at night. Dogs seem to communicate with us in their own way, and I’ve always felt that I understand them well. **Your dog wouldn’t just be a job to me—they would be treated like family.** As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver, I will ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, patience, and love—and will be treated like family. I am currently semi-retired and therefore have plenty of time to pet-sit and the flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to accommodate small to medium dogs. We have lots of sidewalks for sniffing the roses and other lovely scents along the way. My home is casual and very dog-friendly. I also live in a gated, well-lit neighborhood in case your dog needs to go out at night.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life (currently have 3) and I don't know what people do without them! You can trust that I will give your fur babies as much love and care as you do while you're gone. I can take them on walks, play with them, and take them to the park (if well trained). Your dogs will be entertained and treated with nothing but love! I’m currently in nursing school online and not working so I do have decent availability throughout the day. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door for my pups at home but do not offer any services to have other pups at my house currently.
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of my grandmas elderly dog, I’ve given her medications, helped her with her mobility issues, fed and provided daily walks. I have grown up around animals all of my life. Including dogs, cats, birds and my little brothers :) This is my first professional and only job. This means I am readily available as I have no other commitments at this time. I can give your pet as much attention and time that they need. I’m very nervous around big social crowds so I’m hoping this will be a good start for me to build confidence and establish references. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have 3 friendly dogs and 1 very playful cat. I can easily crate your dog/ cat if you prefer. If caring for your pets in your home, I will be respectful of your space and preferences.
About: Online college student looking to do house sitting. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12. I have much experience caring for outdoor and indoor pets ranging from birds, fish, cats, dogs, etc. Currently I am doing online school for Business Administration. I have another flexible part-time job where I choose my days of work as a vendor. My work days are typically 5-6 hours once or twice a week. I wake up at 6am where I can take your pet outside, feed them, play with them and give them lots of love. I am able to adjust my work schedule to your pets needs and am comfortable around many different personalities. I will give attentive care and clean up after your animals for your peace of mind. I have trained my dogs and hope to get a certification to become a trainer. I have worked with many different personalities ranging from anxious/timid pets, to energetic animals as well.
About: I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and family’s pets, and I’ve picked up a lot of expert tips along the way—thanks to my dad, a certified dog trainer. I work remotely from home, so your pet will never be left alone or bored. I offer a calm, attentive, and active environment where pets are not only safe and supervised, but also get plenty of exercise, play, and personalized care. Whether it’s energetic walks or cozy downtime, your pet will be treated like part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I take regular breaks throughout the day, which are perfect for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s a morning walk to start the day or a midday cuddle session, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, activity, and companionship. Being home full-time also means your pet will be closely supervised and never left alone for long. I’m home all day since my job is remote and have a fully fenced backyard where they can play and have outside time. My neighborhood is great for dog walks as well.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maddens
We had such a great experience with Kimberly! She was so sweet, reliable, and wonderful to work with. She communicated so well throughout our time away and sent us pictures and updates, which was incredibly helpful and gave us so much peace of mind! It was so nice knowing our cats were in such good hands and being well cared for. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! We would happily book with her again! 🤍
Sasha took great care of our fur babies. She kept in touch every visit, with pictures and news of how our kitty's were doing. She followed all the directions that were left and clarified when needed. She was on time for each visit, and left our home just as we left it. We felt very confident leaving our kitty's in her care. We will definitely use her again!
Melissa and Dane are absolutely AMAZING! They saved us when we had to go out of town on such short notice. They are very responsive, kind and loving towards our dog and even bought her a toy (so sweet). I promise you will not regret having them take care of your pets ☺️
Trenton takes amazing care of my Little Man Jax while I am away from home. I highly recommend Trenton! Jax loves him! This is the third time Trenton has cat sat for me and I love that I can leave home knowing that Trenton is going to take excellent care of Jax! 😻

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.
