“Ashley was amazing with our pup! She played with him each visit in addition to the things we asked her to do. When the weather was ok she even took Oliver on walks! She definitely went above and beyond!”
About: I have owned dogs for many years and have experience with small and large dogs- weights ranging from 10lbs to 120lbs. I personally love big dogs. I also have experience volunteering at an all-breed rescue which includes feeding, walking, and playtime! I currently work full time in the medical field. I have availability in the afternoon/evenings during the work week on select days. I also have availability on weekends at most times of the day. I have provided other in-home services through my profession and weekend jobs and I can assure proper care of your home and pets. I prioritize safety of your pet during walks using non-slip leads.
“Maddy dropped in 6 times over the weekend to care for our dog. She had stopped by the week before to meet our dog and see our supply layout. She and the dog were a quick match! She sent Rover cards reporting dog activity for each visit, and sent texts to ask questions. Maddy was great. I recommend her.”
“Jenna did an amazing job with my big girl. I love all the report cards and pictures. I was so relieved on my vacation knowing that my dog was being taken care of. I will definitely use her services again.”
“My pets were happy and my house was still clean and tidy when I came home. Mark was very accommodating and flexible with his schedule. He also stepped in pretty late in the game before my vacation after my previous dog sitter canceled. Thanks for taking care of my babies :)”
“Dane and Kayla were fantastic! They showed up promptly every morning at 6 AM to feed and care for our pups, which we deeply appreciated. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire visit. One morning, we had a bit of an issue with our Pomsky acting a little too aggressively, but Kayla reached out right away, explained the situation clearly, and worked with us to find a quick and effective solution. We felt our dogs were in great hands the whole time. We definitely hope to use their amazing service again in the future.”
“She was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy, Luna. Made going to work much easier knowing my puppy wasn’t stuck in her crate for hours and got to have breaks. She is excellent at communicating and making sure all the puppy needs are met!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and definitely will be going with her again when I need too!!”
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of animals including dogs for over 13 years! In addition to caring for my own animals, I have been relied on by others to care for their pets as well. I consistently work on training with both my dog and cat. Currently, my dog Nani is learning to search for edible mushrooms on our hikes! I work remotely and make my own schedule so I have lots of flexibility/availability throughout the week! My work allows me to take time during the day to go on walks or to work on training/socializing as needed. I have my own friendly dog and cat who are very active. We go on lots of walks and play throughout the day. My focus is creating healthy stimulation and activities for our pets.
About: I've been dog, cat, and baby sitting since I was 12 years old (I'm 25 now). I guess I've always had a nurturing quality about me😄. I've grown up with many pets, (dogs, rabbit, turtle, hamsters, degus, etc...) and love to give them the best care, because they deserve it! Currently I have a 5 year old pup named Muffin. She is the sweetest girl in the world! Currently she's visiting my parents (her grand-pawrents🥹) who she loves sooo much. I miss her DEARLY but I will pour that love into your fur baby instead!❤️ My schedule is open at the moment, and I'm ready to care for your precious pups. I'm flexible with my time, and if you have specific care requests, so feel free to reach out with any questions/requests. I will put the safety of your pup first, in all situations. I don't crate pups, I don't let pups go up to others when on walks, or take them to dog parks (unless desired by owner). I keep the pup leashed at all times outside, unless otherwise stated by the owner. I have had no accidents while pet sitting, and do not intend to. You and your pups safety and happiness are my top priority. If your pup wants pets for an hour, I'll pet them for an hour, if they want to play fetch or other games, I'll do that! I just want to ensure your pup is well loved and cared for.
“Quinn was very caring and did her best to make our kitty warm up to her. In the end she was successful. She did a wonderful job of making our kitty happy and fed well communication was great as well”
About: i’ve grown up with one dog and two cats throughout my childhood. There’s nothing where I love than taking care of animals and engaging with them. I am currently working part-time. Therefore, I have a lot of time to take care of your cute pets!! You tell me when and where and i’ll be there! I am more than happy to give your fur baby the love that I give my own! The best getaway is knowing your pets are being well taken care of at home, and I can do that!!
“Sitter kept in touch with us while we were out of town. I feel due to my long work hours and the Reno at our home, I could have provided more concise info. Caroline can be quite a challenge and it seems sitter did well. I feel the cost of ?70 + was high and actually the highest we have ever paid. (1/2 hr for 2 dogs).”
About: My name is Hunter and my wife’s name is Hope, I am 25 and she is 24. We absolutely love animals. We both have several cats and dogs of our own. I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
About: I am a passionate pet sitter and walker with a love for all animals. As a pet owner myself I know how important it is to find someone who is trustworthy.

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.
