About: I’m basically the kind of person who will stop mid-conversation to say hi to a dog 😄 I genuinely love spending time with animals, and dogs tend to warm up to me pretty quickly—whether they’re playful, shy, or a little bit dramatic. What sets me apart is the energy I bring. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I hang out with them, play with them, and make sure they’re having a good time while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just being a cozy couch buddy, I adapt to your dog’s personality and routine. I’m also super detail-oriented, so I’ll follow your instructions closely (meals, meds, quirks—you name it). And you’ll definitely get lots of updates and cute photos, because I know being away from your pet can be hard. I’m great with both high-energy pups who want to play all day and older dogs who just want a calm, gentle presence. Either way, your dog will be safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled 😊 I work from home, so I’m around pretty much all day to give your pet consistent attention and care. They won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily stick to their routine—whether that’s regular walks, playtime breaks, or just being there for company. Having that flexibility means I can give pets lots of supervision, cuddles, and quick responses to their needs throughout the day. It’s perfect for dogs who need extra attention, are a little anxious, or just love having someone around. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel relaxed and at home. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with a fully fenced backyard, daily secured leashed walks, and occasional park visits for extra fun and exercise. Since I work from home, they get constant supervision, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I’m always mindful about safety and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“Merryn was a joy to work with. My senior cat recently was diagnosed with diabetes and she was able to give him his insulin shots with no issues. I have another cat that doesn't like to come out for strangers but came out to play with Merryn. I also love getting the daily photos!”
“Julie was amazingly patient and creative with our girl, Chloe, whom we've never left with anyone other than trusted family in the 6 years we've had her. Julie came for an intro, went on a walk, learned Chloe's "tricks" (along with her fears!) and listened to all our concerns. Chloe did GREAT, and welcomed Julie with a wagging tail by day 2!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve the same patience, attention, and care we would give our own family. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I focus on making every walk and visit a positive, comfortable experience while keeping your pet’s safety and routine a top priority. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs extra cuddles, or simply wants a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and excited to see me again! 🐾 I currently not employed and have alot of flexibility. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. I’m also flexible and understand that every pet has a different routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedules so they feel comfortable and at home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. 🐾
About: My attention to detail and compassionate care cant be beat! Whether it's specific meal times, medications, a preference of long walks or short, playtime, lots of pets and belly rubs or a bit more space, Ill be attuned to every different personality and their needs! Their safety and comfort is always my top priority. Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I take pride in how I show up and care for my patients and your sweet furry babies deserve nothing less and will always get the very best care with me😊 My schedule is open and pretty flexible for the remainder of the year. Spending my time caring for your pet will add so much more joy to my days and I'm confident that it will do the same for them! While I can't offer pet sitting in my own home, I'm happy to do so in yours. This also allows your fur babies to stay as comfy and cozy as possible in the environment they feel the most safe in while you're away😊
About: I’ve taken care of my own Siberian husky for 5 years and have also cared for other clients’ dogs for over 2 years. I’m comfortable with large or highly energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience and consistency. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I currently do not offer pet boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to visit clients’ homes for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was able to walk. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring their daily routine is strictly followed so you can enjoy total piece of mind while you are away. I’m currently on break from a job assignment that finished, and when I’m not working, I dedicate my time to dog boarding, dog walking, and volunteering at the shelter just to spend time with animals. Due to my current routine, it allows me to have open availability and flexibility with pet care. I have a fenced yard with lots of space for your fur baby to potty and play in, as well as two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily crate or separate your dog if personal space is needed!
About: Helping others, whether that mean pet or personal, has always been a passion of mine and a huge reason for my current admission in grad school for OT. I regularly pet sit for my parents & sisters dogs! I am a full time occupational therapy grad student currently working on my thesis (remotely) so I have flexible time and would love to mix up my weeks. In a potential clients home, I am very observant and make it my job (obviously) to take care of the animal whether that be playing, walking, feeding and/or letting him/her rest. I am like a pet helicopter parent/petsitter lol. I am very respectful of my surrounding space
“Quynh did an amazing job taking care of our dogs during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. Communication was great, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾”
About: Whether it’s high-energy playtime or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also prioritize communication, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they feel at ease while away. My focus is always safety, routine, and love—because I know pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I would love to fill my time with lots of loving pets and fun adventures. Fun paws. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets— I also tailor walks to your pet’s age and energy—puppies get structure and play, seniors get gentle movement and fresh air. No matter what, I’m always focused on their well-being, safety, and happiness—and I keep you in the loop with updates and cute photos along the way.
About: I've had a dog for the padt 8 years, but I've been surrounded by dogs since I was little. I adapt to the dogs, so I am well equipped for long walks with energetic dogs or a night in with relaxed dogs. I am currently working a part-time asynchronous job, so I am at home at all times with plenty of time to care for furry friends! I have one 8 year old golden retriever who gets along well with other dogs. There is also a dog park in walkable distance as well as access to two trails within my neighborhood.
About: I have always had cats growing up and currently have 4. As well as 1 fish. I cat sat for my father and one of my friends for extended periods of time. I have walked dogs for family members ever since I was a little kid, as well as taken care of my grandmother's dog for the several years we lived together. I am currently pursuing my cosmetology license. Fortunately my school schedule is very flexible. I thought this would be a good way to earn money on the side since I love working with animals. I know to approach animals gently to ensure they are comfortable before engaging further. I am cautious of surroundings and will make sure to avoid anything that may be dangerous for a the pet/pets.
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: With over 50 years of caring for and loving all animals, primarily cats and dogs, you can confidently trust me to treat you dog/cat with respect love and safety!

I have experience with administering meds also. We can hike, run, bike or walk at any pace, slow or fast, whatever your fur baby likes. I am retired so I am wide open. I prefer earlier walks and hikes in the summer months to avoid the heat. I have a truck and toyota carolla and can transpot if needed I have fenced yard with no current pets at this time. The neighborhood is quiet and shaded sidewalks for cool walks in the summer months

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madrone
Rikiya took excellent care of our two pugs while we were traveling! He made sure all of their needs were met and even administered medicated eye drops and nose wipes to keep them healthy! We especially appreciate the care and affection he showed towards them. I would highly recommend Rikiya for your future Rover needs and I look forward to working with him again!
I was gone for a week, first time I was away that long! But I could see from the photos that my cats really liked her. She gives them so much love and attention. Everyone happy, well fed, well loved and clean/well cared for. I will definitely re-book. Thank you, Billie!
Wow. She is so amazing. The cat whisperer. I was so happy to see a video of both my kitties even the one who usually doesn’t make an appearance when a stranger is at the door. The videos she sent were good for my heart. It’s so nice to have someone to trust them with when we are gone.

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.
