“Today marked the first full week of Alyssa doing drop ins for my border collie. She’s been awesome, I’ve gotten a great sense of care and attention given to my pup. Also great with updates and photos. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good care giver for their pet.”
About: With 5 years of animal care experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pets unique needs. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize safety and comfort, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. As a proud owner of three dogs, my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Because I’m experienced with managing the needs of multiple dogs, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I make time everyday to ensure pets get the attention, excessive, and companionship they need. I provide personalized care based on each pets routine, needs, and personality. In my home, my dogs have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistent routines help keep my dogs happy and healthy and can help your pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away!
“Mike was wonderful with our senior dog Brody, who is 13 but has the energy of a young puppy. He spent time getting to know Brody and play with him. It’s hard to find someone that I trust with our dog and I’m happy I found Mike. We’ll definitely be using Mike again in the future and I know Brody will be thrilled!”
“Ashlee G was awesome! First, we walked the Biltmore Estate grounds with both borzoi, just for fun and so she could get to know the dogs a little bit. That turned out to be a highlight for me. Then Ashlee stayed with my dogs in my camper van while I toured Biltmore and the grounds more extensively. I felt so comfortable knowing the dogs were safe with Ashlee while I was on the tour. I can't say enough good things about this very responsible and delightful young woman. Wizard, Geisha and I, Thank you!”
“Melissa and David were awesome! I needed them twice in two months and only had a very short notice to give them each time and they were able to handle it! Highly recommend them! 😁”
“Our dogs love her just as much as we do. She is absolutely amazing and is a dog whisperer. Highly recommend her and I am a picky Fur Mom. I can truly relax on trips and not worry about our fur babies.”

About: Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of professional experience caring for pets. I started dog walking and pet sitting in high school, and after graduating, I became a certified dog & cat groomer, spending the next 10 years working hands-on with animals of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats, too! I've cared for reptiles including turtles, frogs, and lizards, so I'm comfortable with pets that have special routines and unique needs. One of the thing I love most about pet care is getting to know each animal's individual personality. I've worked with puppies who are still learning the ropes, senior pets who need extra patience, and pets who need a little additional care and attention. During my grooming career, I've also worked with pets dealing with health conditions such as diabetes, IVDD, ear infections, seizures and other medical needs. I'm comfortable with following medication instructions and caring for pets who require a little extra TLC. Whether you pet needs a midday walk, some company while you're away, medication, feeding, playtime, or simply a little extra love, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe and being well cared for while your away! Pets I'm comfortable caring for *Dogs- puppies, adults & seniors *Cats *Turtles *Frogs *Lizards & other reptiles *Birds *Pets requiring medication * Senior pets & pets with special needs * Multiple pet households I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and with my kids in school, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I'm home most days and available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I'm also available most weekends and can work with your schedule when possible. I have a clean, safe, pet-loving home with a large fenced-in yard. Every pet had different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and a stay-at-home wife which means I’m Always Home your pet will have 24/7 Care & Attention and the love they deserve your pet will never be left alone. I also used to volunteer at a local pet shelter, where I gained experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up with all kinds of animals cats dogs, turtles birds I now have a small dog that I've raised from a puppy, giving me firsthand experience with training, patience, and providing loving daily care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to follow their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while you're away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a stay-at-home pet sitter, your dog will have my full, undivided attention 24/7 and will never be left alone. Our daily routine is completely flexible and tailored to your pup's specific needs, but a typical day includes frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, fun playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of couch cuddles while I'm at home. We will go on leisurely walks around the neighborhood, and because my schedule is entirely open, I can easily maintain your dog's exact feeding, medication, and sleep routines from home. Your pup will truly be treated like a member of the family!" Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy time outside, along with a spacious three-bedroom home that gives pets plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly small Shihpoo who has been raised from a puppy and gets along well with other dogs. I will always supervise pets, follow your care instructions closely, and do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while they're in my care.
“We had such a great experience! She did a fantastic job taking care of our pup, we could tell he was in good hands the whole time. The photo updates were adorable and really reassuring. We didn’t have to worry at all while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a middle school math teacher for Lee County Schools! I work Monday-Friday, but have weekends free! I have been on Rover for about 4 year now! I really enjoy dog and cat sitting as a side job! I’m open to stay over night if needed. That’s why my house sitting rate is $40. My rate for not staying over night is $30. I do a lot of dog and cat sitting off of this app. So I have a lot more experience than what’s is on this app. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about scheduling. I’ll be happy to discuss anything with you. It will be a great experience for all of us. Including our furry friends! I look forward to working with you and your pets! Thank you in advance! I am available after school and on weekends. I have a pretty steady and reliable schedule, so it’s easy to plan ahead and make adjustments. As I’m typing this, my cat is rubbing his face on my phone. I’d say my cat at home is pretty happy and spoiled. I think a really important part of pet care is having some sort of schedule, and being sure to put in time to give your pet attention.
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep love and understanding of pets from an early age. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals like rabbits and hamsters. I’ve helped friends and family with daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, and providing companionship while they were away. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Whether it’s sticking to their daily routine or giving them a little extra playtime and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I schedule my mornings and evenings around pet care activities like walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Throughout the day, I stay flexible to accommodate pets’ needs, whether it’s giving a midday potty break, refreshing water bowls, or offering some cuddles and attention. When I care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I set up a cozy, pet-friendly space with comfy beds, toys, and plenty of fresh water. I stick closely to each pet’s normal schedule — including feeding times, walks, medications, and playtime — to help them feel secure.
About: Majored in vet tech, I’ve had animals since I was 7 years old. My oldest dog I have is 13 years old and the youngest is two years old. I have a huge heart and passion for animals. I believe animals are angels on earth and deserve to be cared for and loved on. I enjoy taking them on long walks, or just sitting with them and giving them comfort. I am available weekends from 6am-10pm. Weekdays I am available after 5:30 am-10:00am & 9:30pm-10:00pm. This year I will be available for almost every holiday as long as I am notified a head of time, I will accommodate to the best of my ability. I have a huge backyard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company. I have experience in crate training and I will safely crate your fur babies.
About: I have been dog sitting all of my adult life, a variety of ages. Most of my experience is with senior dogs, my family dog included (16 year old cocker spaniel). I have taken dog body language courses at my local shelter to help me be more aware of how dog communicate with people and other dogs. This knowledge allows me to keep your dog safe and comfortable. High need dogs are always welcome and if your note to your dog watcher is a booklet I'm your girl! The more I know about your dog the better care I can provide so information is always welcome! My job is to provide care, keep your dog on their schedule and maintain the training you worked hard to provide your dog with. Looking forward to helping care for your furry family! I am a RN so my schedule is flexible, as long as i have a few days notice I can work with your schedule and we can figure out a plan for your pet! When providing care to your pet I will be present and active with them. I usually provide update pictures so you know they are doing okay and to provide peace of mind. Any specific care instructions provided i will be happy to follow, you need me to sit with them while they eat no problem! I have to sing them a so g before I put their food down, Im happy to! No ask is too much!

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.
