“Susana was fantastic! Beforehand, she came over for a meet and greet and was great with our dog and cat. They were well cared for the day of the drop-in and she took great care of our senior dog and her medication needs. We are absolutely looking forward to being repeat clients.”
About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I had the joy of owning and caring for my family’s two Shih Tzus since I was 10 years old, and they became two of my very best animal friends. Sadly, they both crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years old. Now I give my love for my pets to others’ furry friends. Growing up with my Shih Tzus has taught me just how much love, patience, and care our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, house sitting, and babysitting, and family, friends, and babysitting clients have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their beloved pets as if they were my own. A fun fact about me: I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) by day! My background has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I love using those principles to help animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them all the care, affection, and attention they deserve! 🐶❤️ I have the most availability during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents in advance to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members! Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and welcome them into your home. I will follow your care instructions closely, ensure a safe environment, and make sure your furry friends receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection during every visit or walk. During walks, I will use appropriate safety precautions, keep your dog securely leashed, and remain attentive to their surroundings and individual needs. For drop-in visits, I aim to respect your home, follow your pet’s feeding and care routines, and ensure they have everything they need before I leave.
“Katy was a lifesaver! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Katy was quick to respond and she was very flexible. She took great care of our dog each time she came by; she walked her, played with her and fed her regularly. I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was great with our 2 kitties and was wonderful at helping to problem solve when one of them was struggling to adjust to us being gone. I would highly recommend her and definitely book again!”
“Kiley was great. She is very affectionate with the kitties. Cleaned up the cat dishes and scooped the litter box. She also played with them. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again.”
“This is the second time I've had Ashley watch my cats and she is always so sweet and attentive with them. She is communicative and I feel really confident when I leave town that they will be well taken care of. Highly recommended!”

About: I'm a university student, my ultimate goal is vet school. In my family and among my friends, I have always been known as the animal lover. To me, this is more than just a side job; it's more like the payment is just a bonus, but the pets are what make me want to be there. I myself have a husky and a bulldog, and in the past, a pitbull. I understand all types of personalities and love each of them. Im a student at university of redlands. I have a short window for short requests 9:30am-1:00pm mondays and wednesdays but after 3pm im completely free. Tuesdays and Thursdays im typically at my busiest until 6pm and friday-sunday im the most free. If you have any questions or want to ask for exceptions just ask. Im in a dorm but I have no roommates and the campus in very pet friendly. I plan on walks around the campus and to park (with permission) and in my room they are welcome to rest, eat and play. My plan will vary depending on instructions from owners.
About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕

“Yvonne is the best! I had a random event and she was quick to respond. Offering her availability and times she can drop by. My pup was taken out and played with. I'm very thankful to have found her! ♡♡♡”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with females in heat, regular potty routines, and providing a balance of indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. I’m home full-time Monday–Friday and provide constant supervision. I only step out briefly (about 15 minutes) for school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I monitor pets during that time with a Furbo camera. Weekend boarding is available with advance notice! My home is cage-free with supervised free roam, but I’m happy to accommodate crates or specific care needs if that’s what your dog is used to. I also offer baths during their stay if needed. I have two friendly female Frenchies who love making new playmates, and I can also keep dogs separated if preferred. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority!
About: I have experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, age and energy levels. I know exactly what to do in all kinds of situations too. If your dog barks, pulls, shivers/shakes, timid or gets overly excited, I can also help with all of those traits. I have been very successful with my friends dogs which include German shepard, Cane Corso, husky, poodle, and pit bulls. So I'm excited to help your best friend enjoy their walk too! I am currently working as a dog bather at an awesome spot! I am available Sundays and Mondays from 6am to 3pm. And Tuesday through Saturday from 4pm to 7pm. I have a reliable car and can travel to your house to take care of your pets, take them on walks, runs, or just hang out. I can also do nail trims if your pet needs it especially if they are old and you don't like taking them on rides.

Melilda was great with my dog. Walked him, took a picture of him, fed him and even washed his bowl after feeding him. It’s the small details that count for me. Thank you and will definitely be reaching out to her again when I meed someone to take care lf my fur baby.
Emily had the pleasure of dealing with medicating our very… particular cat. She did such a great job even making a special trip just to ensure our cat got her medicine. We are so thankful and would recommend Emily to anyone wanting someone who can go the extra mile. Thank you
Susana was fantastic! Beforehand, she came over for a meet and greet and was great with our dog and cat. They were well cared for the day of the drop-in and she took great care of our senior dog and her medication needs. We are absolutely looking forward to being repeat clients.
Sarah is so incredible with my sweet kitty, Stella! We were recently out for just over a week and Sarah was great with checking in on Stella and giving her tons of love! We even had an unwelcome visit from ants while away and Sarah went above and beyond on helping to solve the problem! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Andy is a natural with dogs. Gunner is a service dog that is generally unimpressed by humans. Not Andy, Gunner loves hanging with Andy. Andy asked a lot of questions about Gunner in an effort to get to know him. Which is great. Andy shows genuine love animals def including Gunner! Will def use again

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.
