About: Your loved ones will feel at home in the country. I work from home with law enforcement all around the US, so I'm always available for drop ins or vacation watch. I'm also a volunteer EMT. My 2 teens love to play with our visitors, so bring their favorite toy! I have 5 acres, fully secure fenced in yard for small and large dogs, with plenty of space for your pets to run and play.

“Sydney is very kind and accommodating. When she came to my house she noticed some packages on the door step so she picked them up and brought them into the house. Zero loves her. I am so thankful she was able to give him his medications.”

About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs. I was the one always responsible for feeding and taking care of them. I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and being able to take care of them! I don’t currently have a full time job! I am between semesters in college so I’m just trying to pick up some side jobs to make some money! My home is in the south side of Nampa with a love of farm land surrounding. I have two labs that are very energetic and love going on walks. We go almost every morning and night. There is a nice 1 mile walk path that we talk that is super pretty and right next to my house. In a clients home I would be respectful to their home and follow what ever guidelines they set for me in regards to taking care of their pets and/or home

About: Hi! We're Jeremy and Mina. Jeremy works from home and Mina is currently working on her degree online, so we're both home and available to spend lots of time and give lots of love to your furry family members. We've always had pets growing up and couldn't imagine a life without them by our side. Our family consists of two dogs - a dopey but loving Great Pyrenees mix named Opal and a little Corgi with a big personality named Arlo - and an orange tabby cat named Marvin, who on rare occasions gets use of the coveted brain cell. We have a comfortable home with a fenced yard that we know your pet will enjoy as much as ours do! We're here to help whenever you need someone to watch your animals while you're away, and we'll care for and love them like they're one of our own while they're with us. :) We are both home throughout the week and have plenty of time to care for your pets while they're with us. Whether it's going on walks, playing in the yard, or just spending time with them and giving out lots of scritches, we'll either incorporate your dog into our pets' routine or can accommodate whatever schedule and lifestyle your pet is used to! We care for all animals as if they are our own, ensuring that they are comfortable, safe, and most of all - happy! Your pets will be in great care with our family and we are happy to send you updates as often as you need to feel comfortable with the care they are receiving.

They don’t have much experience with dogs but if yours is friendly we can work something out.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have more than 27 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My parents allowed me to adopt my first cat from a shelter when I was seven, and she remained my beloved companion until she was 14. When she developed diabetes, I learned to administer her insulin injections twice daily. With consistent care, she lived three additional happy years beyond what we initially thought possible. I have always felt a special connection with animals of every kind, including both cats and dogs. Animals naturally bring me a sense of peace, and caring for them is something I find genuinely meaningful. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, observant, safety-conscious, and calm during unexpected situations. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, caring for senior pets, and administering injectable medication when properly instructed. I will treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while building my personal art business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can also accommodate many morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday requests. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being dependable and arriving at the agreed-upon time will always be a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and established routine will always come first. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and never force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am highly responsible, attentive to detail, and calm under pressure. I also respect the trust involved in entering someone’s home and will leave it clean and secure. I will provide dependable communication, photos, and visit updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of personal attention.

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.
