About: I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 11. Doing in house care, dropping by to walk dogs, and experience giving any medicine needed. I'm still looking for a full-time job so I have plenty of time to take care of any pet. I also have my own car which let's me be there when I'm needed. I have 4 cats, including one that only has 3 legs. I clean up after them and make sure they are fed 3 times a day. Playing and cuddling is always a must, especially with 2 of them still being kittens.

About: I have had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 11 years old. I've worked closely with friends, neighbors, and family to care for their pets while they're away. This has involved daily feeding, walking, occasional bathing, the administering of daily medications, and various other responsibilities. I've also had the joy of raising my own pets over the years, including several puppies and kittens. My daily office work hours are 8-4, but my weekend days are free to spend with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own and enjoy taking care of them every day! I make sure they have all the care and entertainment they need to live happy long lives. I also have family pets that I visit often to spend time with. I have previous experience with staying in client's homes to care for their pets. I have done drop-ins to provide care, as well as staying for prolonged periods in homes to provide full time care, with the exception of my weekly work hours.

About: Your dog’s new best adventure awaits 🐾✨ I believe every pet deserves more than someone simply stopping by to fill their bowl. I want your pup to feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, favorite activities, and individual needs so I can make their time with me feel comfortable and fun. 🐶 Puppy care: I’m happy to provide patience, potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and help maintaining your puppy’s routine. 🐾 Senior care: I’m comfortable giving extra patience and attention to older pets who may need a slower pace, more frequent potty breaks, or additional care. 💊 Medication: I’m comfortable following detailed medication instructions and keeping your pet on their normal schedule. 🎾 High-energy pups: Walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of attention to help them burn off that extra energy! 💗 Shy or nervous pets: I never force interaction. I let them warm up to me at their own pace and focus on making them feel secure. 📸 Photo updates: You’ll get adorable updates so you can enjoy your trip without constantly wondering how your baby is doing. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home, and treat your pet like family. No rushed visits, no “just checking a box”—your pet gets real attention and care. You handle your plans. I’ll handle the tail wags. 🐾💕 Hellooo wonderful fur parents, I currently work part time so I can only pet care every day from 8 AM to 3 PM. However if you need me too I am willing to call out. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing reliable care, keeping them updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and will notify the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel confident and comfortable while they’re apart.

I work at Amazon during the day. And attend school in the area as well! I have breaks through out my week where I am bored. I love my dog! I would expect you show her the utmost respect and I will return the gesture with gratitude for your loved one.

“Emily is a great pet sitter! We usually have to kennel our pets and being out of their home stresses them out, so we turned to this app for help. Emily was great, made sure one of our cats got his cancer meds and made sure both were well cared for. If you're looking for someone for pets especially kitties she's your person.”

About: I grew up with a Rottweiler named diamond. She got old and had arthritis so she needed medication at a certain time. Her walks had to be timed and within mobility. I am a full-time student my classes usually end early to mid afternoon, so my time is a little bit more flexible typically I have an hour to two hours in between certain classes. Since growing up with animals, I’m always on high alert whenever I hear like a rustle of a bag or weird noise coming from pets I’m on my feet and checking out what they’re doing and what they’re getting into for their safety. I also try to keep things that are hazardous for animals out of their reach or put up in my home. I have child box on cabinets in my kitchen and my medicine cabinet .

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for fur babies for 13+ years—from raising my own fur babies to caring for friends’, family’s, and now clients’ pets! I own a cute bunny loaf named Hazel, as you can see in my profile picture. I’ve worked in an animal clinic and as a dog trainer, so I’m trained in reading pet body language, giving meds, and even stopping those surprise pet squabbles. Whether it’s a zoomie-filled pup or a chill senior, a lazy cat or a bouncy kitty, I’ve got the magic touch. I work full-time during the day Monday - Friday, but I’m available in the evenings after 5pm for fun walks and drop-in visits after work. Weekends are when I have the most time, so your pets can enjoy extra attention, playtime, and care. My schedule is perfect for evening strolls, belly rubs, and plenty of weekend cuddles! Think of me as your pet’s stand-in bestie while you’re away. I’ll stick to their normal routine—meals on time, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and even those dramatic “treat negotiations.” I keep things calm, safe, and cozy, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I give your fur baby. Expect photo updates so you can see all the cuteness (and maybe a few goofy moments) while you’re gone.

About: My background as a Pre-Vet student with 400+ hours of volunteer experience in shelters and therapeutic programs helps me daily in this field . I'm calm and confident with all temperaments—skilled in easing anxious pets, entertaining energetic pups, and providing gentle care for animals of all . Animal care is my passion, and I display that dedicated, high-level attention to every pet I sit. As a college student, my schedule includes flexible breaks between classes and labs, making it easy to fit in regular drop ins, walks, and playtime. Evenings and weekends are more likely to be open for extended care and house sitting. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and house rules while keeping your space clean and secure, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I started watching/walking my neighbors and family dogs when I was 10! In high school I started volunteering for my local shelter and grew a passion for it that I started volunteering at the shelter away at college as well. I love advocating for all types of animals and really enjoy their company! I have experience with a variety of breeds ,sizes, and ages for dogs and am also a a cat lover! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to be available for regular drop-ins, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets throughout the day.

I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they stay comfortable in their normal routine. I have experience caring for both a younger dog and an older cat, so I understand the different needs, energy levels, and care that pets of all ages require. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, safety is always my top priority, and I make sure pets are supervised, secure, well cared for, and treated like family.

About: Hi! My name is Cambria and I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up in a home where we have always had at least 10 animals at a time, so caring for pets has been a part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities. I’ve taken care of just about every type of pet you can imagine, including dogs, cats, bunnies and so much more. I regularly dog sit, cat sit, and help friends, neighbors, and family members care for their pets when they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I’m also happy to do a quick meet-and-greet before any booking so you and your pet feel completely comfortable. I’m very flexible and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make them feel comfortable I also love sending pet parents updates, photos, and videos while I’m taking care of their pets (only if you’d like them!). I know it can be hard being away from your animals even for a day, so I’m always happy to help you feel reassured that they’re doing great. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I always make sure pets get the time, attention, and routine they’re used to so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I’m very attentive and careful when entering and leaving homes, making sure pets stay safe and secure at all times. I also love sending updates, photos, and videos if owners would like them so they always know their pet is happy and doing well.

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.
