About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent the last year working as a veterinary technician, and worked alongside ranch dogs for two years before that. I am comfortable with dogs (plus cats and ranch animals!) of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My veterinary background also makes me comfortable with medications and specialty care. I really enjoy being able to get to know each pet’s unique personality! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I can accommodate different days and times whenever possible! I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions. My veterinary background has given me experience with pet first aid, medications, and special needs, as well as recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am always excited to meet and spend time with new pets!
About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and care for all sizes and personalities! I offer walking, sitting, playtime, and can safely give medications. Whether your dog needs active exercise, calm companionship, or special care, I’ll treat them like one of my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail.

I’m happy to do early visits, medication administration, and check-ins during those morning hours. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule — I’ll do my best to accommodate!

About: Spending time with your pet is my pleasure, and I would care for them as if they were my own. As far back as I can remember I have been a go-to petsitter for friends, family, and coworkers and am known for being flexible, low maintenance, responsible, and having a blast with pups. I will follow any special instructions to the letter and will give your pet a full measure of attention and playtime. I can also send pictures daily if requested. I am easy to communicate with, and I'm easy to reach by phone, WhatsApp, or your preferred messaging service. I love the outdoors, so if your pup wants to enjoy trails and time at the beach or in the mountains, I'm your girl. I am also happy to have a cuddly kitty or lapdog sit with me in the sun as I work on my laptop. I run my own online business and work from home, so I can provide around-the-clock care for your pet. My schedule is highly flexible, so I can provide regular walks throughout the day and attend to any special needs as they come up. We'll discuss your pet's special needs and unique behaviors ahead of time and meet to acquaint ourselves. Knowing how your pet will react to dogs, cats, wildlife, people, children, noises or other unexpected stimuli is important to know ahead of time. I can care for any special dietary needs or medications, or any other unique needs your pet has. Send me a message and let's chat about your pet!
About: I grew up with a dog at home and still miss his sweet smile (you can see him in my profile!). I’ve always loved taking care of dogs, bringing them on walks, visiting parks, and making them happy by caring for them as if they were my own. I now have a newborn baby and love going on daily walks, usually with her in my carrier and always keeping her safely separate from your dog. It’s been such a joy combining fresh air, movement, and puppy happiness into our routine! My husband and I own our own business, which gives us a lot of flexibility to care for your pup and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I never take care of more than one dog at a time because I want to give each one my full focus and care. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns ! I’m always happy to chat! We love getting outside, exploring nearby parks, and going on walks—it’s one of our favorite parts of the day. Very flexible! My schedule is very open because I own a business and operate it with my husband and our team in site. Always free for a walk! Very flexible ! I value safety and would never let your dog roam free without my supervision, leash, or anything that’s specifically needed to make sure they are safe.
About: I’ve always loved all animals, but dogs have truly become my heart and my passion. I’m lucky to share my life with two beautiful pups of my own, and with over ten years of experience caring for dogs of every personality and breed, I’ve fallen in love with treating each one as family. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely cherish! Thank you for considering me. I am currently open any day of the week which is quite unique for me! And want to spend every moment helping animals and their owners. Lots of cuddles (as much as they allow me lol) and outdoor activities - typically atleast two walks per day and more if weather permitting! However weather never has stopped me from walking in nature with them if that’s what they enjoy! I take care of the home like I do my own and treat your fury children just like I do my babies! Spoiled :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years including dogs of all ages and sizes. I also live near lots of parks which has allowed me to explore and have tons of fun with our furry friends! I am more flexible on weekends and can get to various parts of the city/Marin but can work with weekdays too. Definitely message me and we can discuss! I make sure to let the dog take its time in introducing its home to me and will be very careful and respectful in their home.
About: I have watched animals for neighbors since I was a teenager with multiple families for 20+ years! I am here for you and your pets needs!!

“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! So incredibly kind and professional. She was so accommodating of my schedule and did a fantastic job looking over my little guy. She’s a no brainer!!”
About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!
About: I'm a lifelong pet guardian who has worked in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and volunteered at an animal sanctuary. I'm confident with all ages and have substantial experience with behavioral challenges. Caring for / being with / exercising / playing with animals is an integral part of my life. I have lived with dogs and sometimes cats for all of my adult life. Prior to pet-sitting, I meet the animal(s) and guardian to discuss their companion's routines regarding: feeding, activities, timing, cleaning supplies and medical needs. I typically pet-sit in the animals home. I keep the housing/yard/litter boxes clean. Routine consistency: Strictly adhere to their dog-walking routes, feeding times, and medication schedules.Security: Double-check gates, doors, and fences upon entry and exit to prevent accidental escapes.Environment management: Secure hazardous items (e.g., cleaning supplies, human food) and adjust thermostats for weather extremes
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manzanita
I've been so lucky to find someone who understands my sometimes fearful/reactive senior rescue dog. Marielle is so kind and did all the right things to make introductions with my dog a positive experience for her. There are very few other people I would trust to take my 65 pound shepherd/bully mix out on a walk and not have to worry. Having another person I know Winnie trusts makes life so much less stressful when I have busy weeks at work, and Winnie is so happy to have a new friend to hang out with.
We’re very happy with the care Anjali provided for our kitties while we were away. She was responsible, reliable, and very loving with them. She sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. At one point, I reached out to her because I needed her to check something specific with their litter box and automatic feeder, and she responded right away and took care of it. Communication was great throughout, and we felt very comfortable knowing our kitties were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
Linda was able to watch out dog Zoe for 8 days over the holiday. We had another rover cancel and were thrilled to find Linda. She stopped in twice a day to feed, walk and entertain our dog. We loved getting the daily pictures and knew our dog was in good hands.

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.
