About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I have a special place in my heart for all of them! They’re aren’t just a man’s best friend hahah I’m currently staying in Austin with family for a while! I love going on walks around the neighborhood and enjoying the warm weather and would love to go on a walk with your pup! I watch my sisters dog all the time while she works etc. I love taking him out for walks or to play fetch! Sometimes he gets a little dirty so that means bath time!
“Been so happy with experience with Rebekah!!! Always prompt and gives Baileigh the attention she needs. I get daily updates and photos! Highly recommend for your pet’s care! 5 stars across the board!!!”
“Rory was absolutely amazing!! She was very communicative, her updates were very thorough, and my dogs had a great time with her. She went above and beyond taking care of my puppy. Would definitely use again to take care of my dogs!!”
“Gihan was amazing! She clearly has a knack for pets; ours took to her immediately. She’s extremely communicative, responds fast, and takes amazing care. We trusted her immediately. Our pups were in great hands with her!”
About: I am very patient and understanding with dogs and cats and always have a soft spot for animals. I have experience working with older dogs and medication they might need. I am working around a few different aspects such as college schooling, some social gatherings with friends, and overall business. Many weekends I am free and some weekdays I am also free. I do not own any pets but I did watch my friend’s family dogs for many years. I have had a dog and a cat in the past.
“Riley is pawsome! Our dogs won't let people in the house they don't know, so we are doing bi-weekly meetings so they get to know Riley and they love him already. Today Riley brought his wife Stephine and they are the dream team! My husband and I were just talking about how confident we feel with Riley and are super happy knowing we can go out of town with piece of mind. Thanks for the cute update photo today!”
“Savannah and Gabriel are the best! They came over for a meet & greet and my dogs immediately loved them. What I really appreciated was they really listened to me when I was talking about their food schedule and how Archie tries to steal Archie’s food. Ha. They also sent the CUTEST photos of our dogs. Will 100% using them again. Thank you!!”
About: ● Over the past 12+ years, caring for my rescue dog, Emory, and many other dogs has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, sizes, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications, managing and following special diets & feeding routines, and adapting care for dogs with physical limitations or special routines. ● I pay close attention to body language and behavior, using patience and adjusting my approach to each dog’s comfort level. Whether a dog is confident and playful or shy and anxious, I let them move at their own pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interactions or commands. Owners often tell me they're surprised by how quickly their typically reserved or anxious dogs warm up to me! ● Safety is always my top priority, so I'm very mindful of secure leash handling during walks, preventing escapes, monitoring interactions with people and other dogs, keeping anything they could eat or get into out of reach, and paying attention to the weather and each dog's energy level and physical abilities. ● I also take the time to notice changes in behavior or routine that could indicate a dog is feeling stressed, uncomfortable, or unwell. I'm communicative and will always keep you updated with how things are going and anything that needs your attention. ● I believe great pet care comes from being observant, patient, and treating every dog as an individual! ● I work from home with a flexible schedule, so aside from the occasional errands or plans, I'm home during the day & evening. ● Being home helps make it easy for me to stick to your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication times, potty routine, and any exercise or activity. ● Your dog gets plenty of companionship, attention, and frequent potty breaks all throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. ● I'm open to last-minute requests so your pup isn't left high and dry! ● My home is a calm, comfortable place where dogs can relax and settle into a predictable routine. I intentionally host just one household at a time, so your dog can enjoy a low-stress stay without unfamiliar people or dogs coming and going. ● Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and doggie door, and I can provide frequent potty breaks for dogs who don't use one. ● Emory is my 8 y/o rescue (and the calm, steady presence of our home!). He's incredibly tolerant and respectful of other dogs, whether they love to play, prefer their own space, or just enjoy quietly coexisting. He's submissive by nature, doesn't escalate interactions, and lets other dogs set the pace. ● For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain your dog's normal routine as closely as possible.
“Amber was extremely caring and flexible even after a mistake on our end with our address being labeled incorrectly. She astounded us by being over and above in her care for Bill. We felt very grateful that she was able to care for him over the holiday weekend.”
“I’ve had the opportunity to have Michelle care for our dog and cat several times now and she’s been absolutely fantastic! Very responsive. We just really like her and feel very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Here’s a polished 5-star review you could use: Brenda was amazing! She responded incredibly fast, even though my request was very last minute. She took great care of my dog during the drop-in visits and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and professional. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“Jillian provided wonderful drop-in services for our dog while we were gone. We really appreciated her Rover Cards with lots of great pictures and updates. She was super communicative, friendly and awesome with our excited pup. We would definitely have her back!”
“Maia went above and beyond!!! Not only was she so kind to my kitties but she even fixed my broken trash can and scooped when the booking was only for a drop by and feeding! My cats and I are very grateful and would absolutely book her again 😊”
“Julie is a top notch cat sitter! In addition to giving my cats the love and play that they need, Julie sends me updates and pictures with every visit, which makes being a way much less stressful. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a dog, they are may fav!! My most important title is dog mom!! Caring for dogs is part of my usual daily routine Available prior to work (6-8am), after work (4-10) and on the weekends. I do work during the day but am flexible!! :) I can stop in and hang out, go for walks, etc. Love to go for walks, cuddle, and vibe at home with the dogs!

“Definitely the best experience I've had on this app. Olivia sent tons of photos, wrote helpful descriptions, and even helped bring in my packages while we were away. She went above and beyond, very much recommend.”
“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”

Rebekah & Gloria were amazing! I enjoyed all the pics of my kitties while I was away. This was my first time using Rover for drop ins and my first time traveling away from my kitties, so it was nice to see that they were happy and in good hands! It is nice to know that I can now go out of town and know that they will be happy and safe. Thank you!
Angelica did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats when I was away from 5 days! She spent time hanging out with my kitties and took lots of great pictures. My cats are so comfortable with her on day 1. They became great friends on day 3 already. Angelica is also always very responsive to my messages. Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets, especially cats!
I’m so glad we went with Lizeth! She dropped in and checked on our two cats while we were away for a weekend trip. It was a last minute ask, and she pulled through! Even coming the day before to meet our littles. She has 4 cats of her own and I could tell she was comfortable with ours. Would recommend working with her and would hire again. ☺️

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Manchaca stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
