About: Hey! I’m Meghan, and I’m currently unemployed and available to help with all your pet needs. I love all animals — at one point growing up my family had five cats, two dogs, two turtles and a hamster all at once. I’m friendly, accommodating and love all breeds, both the overly energetic and the timid. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats, including high-needs, medication administration, and anxious animals. I’ll happily provide your pet with exercise, attention, and lots of patience. My family currently has a very old dog and a young one, so I’m comfortable with animals of all ages. Additionally, I my kitty at home is very shy and skittish, so I know what it’s like to have a sensitive animal. I’d love to watch your pets for you! I work a full time job. I’m available during the weekends, but during the workweek I’m limited to mostly pre- or post-work hours. I work partially from home part of the time so I may be able to accommodate mid-day care if you live close by. I’m not currently able to welcome pets into my home, but maybe in the future. Depending on your particular pet I may be able to accommodate you. Let’s talk!

“Erika is exceptional! My puppies love her so much they wait by the door in anticipation for her amazing walks🙏🏻☺️ She is so sweet, warm and very reliable. I was hesitant about dog walking businesses but her work ethic and demeanor and the experience she has provided for me and my family has forever changed the way I view this kind of business. Erika is an incredible asset not only to this company but to all the wonderful dogs out there ❤️”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for pets and am committed to providing the best possible care for your furry family members! I’ve spent a lot of time with my family’s pets, caring for them over several days at a time and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also lived with cats and understand the affection, attention, and care they need to thrive. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. I love the opportunity to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and go on walks while keeping pets happy and active. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine desire to treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow their routines and any special care instructions to help them feel at ease. My goal is to provide the utmost care, love, and attention to your pets while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week and can make plenty of time to give your pets the care, attention, and love they deserve! Whether it’s stopping by for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and specific needs. I’m also available most weekends if you need care then! I love being able to take breaks from work to spend time with animals, get outside for some fresh air, and make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate with you and follow any instructions to help keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible! I love the pets I care for and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I enjoy playing with them, giving them affection, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it’s taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, or giving cats scratches and space when they need it, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for. I always do my best to follow their routines and be attentive to their needs. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to spend quality time with your furry friends! I’m excited to meet more pets and treat each one with the same love and care I would give my own.

About: Hi! I'm Tracy. I started walking and pet sitting professionally in the Los Angeles area back in 2008, and loved every minute of it. Now that I have recently moved back to Los Angeles, I am so excited to get to know my new 2 and 4 legged neighbors, and the neighborhoods. Animals have always been drawn to me, and some of my friends/pet owners call me a dog whisperer! There is nothing better than the love and affection our furry friends give us, and nothing I can do but give it right back. I truly believe that dogs are the universe's gift to us humans, and they deserve attention, play, and all the love they can stand! I love walking and hiking with dogs, but snuggling for hours is really what brings me joy. I cannot wait to meet and greet you! HI! Thanks so much for stopping by! I am a full time dog lover, caregiver, and sitter. My entire day is surrounded with caring for your pets in the best way possible, with love, attention, snuggles, and, well, treats! I love engaging your pets in any way they enjoy! So if the dog park is their scene, or snuggles on the couch, or snacking and licking and snoozing, well...great!!! The more I know humans, the more I love dogs!!! haha

About: I have been caring for and walking dogs since I was ten years old, helping out neighbors, friends, and family whenever their pets needed exercise and company. Today, I'm the proud father of an energetic Border Collie, so I know firsthand how important consistent, attentive, and safe daily walks are for a dog's health and happiness. ​Whether your dog loves a brisk pace to burn off extra energy or prefers a calm, leisurely stroll to sniff around the neighborhood, I adapt each walk to match their personality and routine. You can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of love and care while you're away during the day. fathering a Border Collie of my own, I truly understand the value of reliable routine and daily exercise. I have complete, flexible availability throughout the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your dog's preferred walk times—whether that's early morning, mid-day, or evening Safety and trust are my highest priorities. Raising a smart, active Border Collie has taught me how crucial it is to stay vigilant and attuned to a dog's body language. In your home, I respect your space, strictly follow care instructions, and ensure all doors and gates are secure. On walks, I keep dogs safely on-leash, stay aware of surroundings and traffic, and never allow introductions with unfamiliar pets without your permission

About: Hi, I have a 11 year old husky and have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I work as a nurse and would like to offer my care to not just humans but also our animal companions! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication administration. I have raised about 6 puppies and 3 kittens familiar with multiple breeds including huskies, goldens, GSD, Aussies, Danes, etc. I work from home as a psych nurse practitioner. Therefore my schedule is very flexible and would love to take care of your pets while you are away. (If you are interested in medication management please let me know!) I go to the dog park with my husky everyday, if you prefer walks we can walk around the neighborhood or drive to a park to walk and have a change of scenery. I am very flexible so just let me know what you would prefer for your furry friend!

My dog can be a little anxious around new people but they were so patient and understanding from the start. Now, she looks forward to her walks with them. It’s clear she feels safe and happy in their care. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with two dogs from the age of nine, so caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. I’m calm, attentive, and quick to read a pet’s body language and needs. I’m patient with nervous or high energy pets, comfortable with routines like medication or special diets, and treat every animal like my own. I’m currently applying to law school, which gives me a flexible schedule right now and lets me offer consistent, reliable care throughout the week, including daytime walks, extended stays, and last minute availability. Safety comes first. In your home, I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to specific house rules, and I monitor pets closely rather than leaving them unsupervised for long stretches. I communicate proactively with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally. These days I have a Miniature Schnauzer named Stevie Nicks (yes, just like the singer!), and she’s the sweetest little host. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love having a new friend come stay with us. I work from home most of the week and only go into the office twice a week, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just hanging out, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. I work from home most of the week, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I head into the office, but it’s a dog-friendly workplace! If your dog enjoys new environments and it’s a good fit for their personality, they’re welcome to join me. Otherwise, I’m home the rest of the week and happy to discuss whether my schedule is the right fit for your pup’s needs. We live in a ground-floor unit with both a private front patio and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs secure outdoor spaces to stretch their legs, play, or relax in the fresh air. I always strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog feels right at home

About: I was raised in a house with many animals and have always honored their personalities and rhythms. I am patient with the very young as well as very old, and love everything in between (I especially love play). I have cared for geriatric, post-stroke, and puppies and love all of my time with pets! I am a freelancer and do most of my work from a laptop which I can tote around with me, making it easy to accommodate your pets care needs. I am extremely detail oriented and caring. My diligence keeps me respectful of needs and space alike. I treat every home like my own, and every sweet pet face like my own as well; with all of the compassion and sweetness they deserve.

About: I grew up with 2+ dogs in my house since I was 5 years old. Primarily vizslas, but also a few terrier mixes. I love all dogs (an abnormal amount), am a very active person, and miss having my own dog. I’ve had one dog of my own who I trained on my own and with puppy school and was very well behaved. I have done pet sitting and walking in the past and am currently just out of graduate school and looking to fill some time before I start full time work. I’m currently a part time professional cyclists so I have lots of time for dog love. My ex currently has my dog so I’m desperate to have some dog love around as well. I would take our (8lb) dog for 2 beach walks a day, usually around 2-3 miles each. I have a fenced yard myself and my own transportation. I’m happy to accommodate however you best see your pets being cared for. Whether it’s a long walk or just company for the animal

About: Hi there, I'm Danielle and I just love spending time with dogs. I'm a playful, energetic and happy sitter, and I can't wait to meet you! I began dog sitting when my personal training clients learned about my love for dogs! For the past four years I've sat for their fur babies while they took trips or ran errands. Since my lifestyle is super active I enjoy having a buddy with me to run, walk, and play with. I know your dog means the world to you, with me they are safe in good hands, and treated as my own. I'm quickly reachable & responsive. My career as a personal trainer allows me plenty of flexibility. I have sat for a variety of dogs and really have love for all of them. I do have plenty of energy so if your pup needs a more active lifestyle I am the right fit. I am so excited to spend some time with dogs and other dog lovers! It's hard to not be happy around dogs, they're so joyful and enthusiastic, no matter what we're doing! I look forward to meeting you and your doggy!

About: I know how important it is to provide your pets with care where they will feel loved and cared for and for you to have someone you can trust with your beloved furry friend. I'd love to help take care of your animals. I've been around animals my whole life and have a sweet kitty named Ophelia I adopted when I moved to LA a little over 3 years ago. My family and I had a great pyrenees for 12 years, so I grew up walking, bathing and taking care of a 100+ pound dog. We also fostered and raised multiple litters of kittens from our local rescue throughout my teenage years. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for years walking dogs and working to get them adopted and socialized. I also worked as a Vet Kennel Tech for a summer along with running their doggy day care program. I was in charge of up to 15 dogs at once of all sizes and breeds. I am very adventurous yet super responsible sitter and would love to take your dog on their favorite adventure while you’re away (a walk, a run, a visit to the park, etc). I've been a pet sitter for dozens of people all over Nashville, Florida and LA and would love to help take care of your pet! My job is fully remote so I’m happy to host your dog while you’re away at work,school, etc and am flexible to work with your schedule and needs! In my own home, my cat (Ophelia) will be there. She loves dogs and having a buddy come over for the day, so as long as your dog is okay with cats they are welcome to spend the day at my place! I love being outdoors and taking time to walk in my neighborhood during the day, so don’t mind spending time playing fetch, walking your dog or even taking them on a run if they enjoy that.

We couldn't be happier with Sierra! Charlie warmed up to her almost instantly, which says so much. Our pup can take some time to feel comfortable, so the fact that she felt at ease so quickly is a true testament to how warm and gentle Sierra is. She is always on time and so kind and sweet with Charlie every single visit. It's such a relief knowing Charlie is in caring, reliable hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾

I was extremely nervous and even more unprepared for how vulnerable my first experience having a dog sitter was. Jamia arrived as if she'd always been a part of our lives. I can't seem to find words deep enough to express how grateful I am to have had her watch over my dog who is my entire world. Jamia was just as patient with me as she was with him! All of my instructions and guidance for handling my pup she superseded and with each walk and every photo throughout his experience I felt so much more calm. I want to also emphasize the difference in how much more patient and calm my doggie was when I returned from my trip he was definitely changed by his time with Jamia - from the both of us we appreciate you and wish we could give you a 10 star recommendation. Thank you so much.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
