“Such a nice couple and took such good care of our pets! Left the house clean, took in the packages! Great communication! I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Highly recommend!!! 100000/10 will definitely contact them again next time we need drop ins!”
“Dogs were fed, got attention and time outside, and happy! We left some detailed directions because one dog will get destructive when left alone, and Billy was great about making sure those things got done. Thank you so much! Would definitely reach out to him again”
“Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!”
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.
“Sherron was absolutely wonderful! I had zero worries while my boys were in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She provided thoughtful, reassuring, and fun updates with plenty of photos that made it clear they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she truly cares about the pets she watches. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”
“Lola was wonderful with my cats while I was away on vacation! She was reliable, very communicative, and sent the sweetest pictures with each of her three drop-in visits. I especially appreciated knowing that someone caring and trustworthy was checking on them while I was away. She clearly interacted with them and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable pet sitter!”

About: I’m an animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I’ve dog sat for my family many times. I am available almost always as I work from home your pet won’t be left alone. I have 2 years experience as a dog trainer and many more as a dog owner. I can also bathe and brush your pups if you need me to at an extra cost. If you want I can also train them basic commands with rewards at an extra cost. I will play with and care for your fur babies as I would my own. I will follow any dietary needs or routines you have. If you choose me your pets will be in great hands. I currently work from home so I will be available all day to take care of and play with your pets. I’m available all week for sitting. If your cat is staying with me, I provide a safe, cozy, and clean environment. Cats will have their own space for food, litter, and rest, plus enrichment time with toys and cuddles. I treat each pet like family, ensuring they get both physical care and emotional comfort.
About: 🎄 Now accepting new clients for the upcoming holiday season! Need someone reliable while you’re traveling, working, or spending time with family? I’m currently accepting new drop-in, house sitting, and walking clients for the holidays. I’m especially happy to help with last-minute care when my calendar allows — send me a request and let’s see if I’m a good fit for your pets! 🐾 I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making sure each pet feels happy and secure in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. This means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long periods. House sitting & drop-in care are my specialties! 🐾 I love giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and routine while their people are away. I'm home full-time, have 6 years of pet-care experience, and can give your pets consistent care and plenty of photo updates throughout their stay. I also offer boarding in my home for families who prefer that option.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, birds—you name it. I’ve picked up a lot over the years just by being around all kinds of animals with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident and calm whether I’m hanging out with a couch potato pup or a high-energy goofball who needs a good run to settle down. If your pet has specific needs—crate routines, feeding schedules, meds, whatever—I’ll follow your instructions exactly. I’m big on communication and will always send plenty of pics and updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I usually work mornings, so I’m available in the evenings after 3 PM. That said, feel free to ask if you need a different time that's in the morning or afternoon—I might be available! When I’m caring for pets in their home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that means feeding at a certain time, refreshing water, administering medications, or just knowing where they like to nap. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks (or litter scooping for cats). I’ll clean up any messes, check food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in behavior or health. I also send photo updates during every visit so you know your pet is doing well. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to match your dog’s energy level and preferences—whether they need a slow stroll around the block or a brisk walk to burn off some energy. I use secure gear, always keep safety in mind, and make sure your dog gets both physical and mental enrichment during our time together. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, respect, and love.
About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home
About: I have always been the go to person for those around me who need help with their pets. Whether they’re high energy dogs or shy cats I love them all! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule which means plenty of free time to help care for your furry friends whenever you need! I always appreciate a written list of tasks you’d like for me to do to help your pet just to make sure I get it right!
“Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.”
About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I helped raise numerous litters of puppies, which taught me everything from feeding schedules and socialization to house training and keeping a close eye on the little ones. Today I regularly watch my friends’ pets and care for my grandparents’ two dogs — feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are my favorite people, and I treat every one like my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home the majority of the day and your pup will rarely be left alone. My schedule is flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your dog is used to. The house is quiet and calm, which works well for dogs who prefer a low-key environment. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog is treated like family. We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
