“Brenda was an excellent fur baby sitter !!! We were leaving out of the country and she was available to help us out! She met the girls and then followed all our instructions, as well as communicated with us via text and WhatsApp (internationally) for all things daily which was very comforting. One of our fur kids got sick over the trip and she monitored her as well as helped and took care of clean up. We could not be more grateful! We would recommend her to absolutely anyone, and trust her with our girls. Will be using her for all future babysits!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, active, and comfortable while you’re away. have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings through early afternoons, as well as weekends and late evenings. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work around each pet owner’s routine and specific care needs. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care.

About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.

I have over a decade of personal experience navigating the chaotic energy of teething puppies and the delicate, specialized care required for senior dogs. I’m highly adaptable to your pets specific stage in life! As a nursing student, my schedule is rather structured, which means I can offer your dog predictable routine care. Here’s how: Early morning walks☀️: 5am-8/8:30am Perfect for a quick bathroom break and stretch before my classes. Midday Dropins: This varies based on my schedule for the week but can be arranged if possible Afternoon & Evening care 🌙: After 3pm Once my classes wrap for the day, I am wide open for long walks, hikes, park visits or dinner time feedings!

“Michelle is great! Highly recommend her. Our dogs are very happy when we get home. She attends to details with them we know, and they’re very well adjusted when we get home.”
About: Hi! I’m basically the kind of person who will ask to pet your dog before I ask your name. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to Huskies and Anatolian Shepherds, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each pup unique. Whether your dog is super energetic, shy and nervous, obsessed with playing, or just wants a cozy nap buddy, I’m happy to match their vibe. I also have experience with fearful/anxious dogs, including pups who get nervous during storms or around new people, so patience and making animals feel safe always comes first for me. I work from home, which means your pet gets lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family 🐶🐾💛 I am full-time work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, cuddles, potty breaks and walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in back yard, allow pets on my furniture and beds, and a very dog friendly neighborhood for walks! Prefer to have pets at my home but willing to do short stay overnights or stop in visits at clients homes.
About: I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and preferences, tailoring my care to suit their individual needs. Whether it’s a favorite toy, specific playtime activities, or a preferred sleeping spot, I make sure each dog feels at home. Tuesday-Friday: 4pm-until (If needed I can pick a pet up after 7pm Monday I am currently enrolled in school) Saturday and Sunday: All day to provide regular exercise through walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep the pet physically active and mentally stimulated. I also engage in activities that align with their interests, such as fetch for dogs.

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.
