“Cassidy is great with Brin and Tunie. She's part of the pack now. I appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond, and her care for my dog and cat. My family has been going through some struggles and it's great to know that the pets are well cared for while I go tend to family members. Her flexibility with schedules and needs is amazing.”

About: I’ve had big AND small dogs my entire childhood! I’ve also taken care of horses, steers, pigs, chickens, birds (exotic), dogs, cats! After growing up with only dogs and small house pets (hamsters, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards)In my adulthood, my husband and I have opened our home to several rescues through the six years we’ve been together. At our home we consider ourselves “last owners” animals come to us to live out the rest of their lives, comfortable and loved. We’ve been by the side of 6 rescue birds, a few kittens and one chameleon to watch them cross over the rainbow bridge, and complete their journey. Between Gage (my husband) and I we have 10 cats (willow, meadow, sushi, pumpkin, chai, jenny, lucifer, salem, peggy & naruto) 5 birds (blanca, bleezy, grim, puffer & mongo bongo - she’s a 46 year old scarlett macaw! - ) 1 dog, (chief) 1 chameleon (pascal) and 1 scalata tortoise (torchy) ! we are obviously big animal lovers!! In conclusion, We both have tons of experience around all species of animal and we want your trip to be focused on enjoying YOUR vacation plans, and not worried about if your fur babies were left in the wrong hands! Most of my clients do not have children and their pet is their child. I want to you as the parent of your sweet baby, to be confident when you walk out the door knowing i’ll be there I can not wait to care for all of your babies, fur or reptile! please feel free to reach out to me send ask about my process of meeting the baby and we can discuss pricing! (if it’s too expensive DONT PANIC! we can communicate and i will really take whatever you’d like to pay. I understand vacations are very expensive and I don’t want you to have to choose between a fun tour or activity with you family vs having adequate care for your baby while you’re away. If you think i’m perfect for your home and baby, please let me know what you can pay and i will always work it out! I AM WILLING TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL TO YOU (OUT OF STATE) MY MILAGE IS SET TO 100 MILES LETS TALK!) My husband and I currently have 5 birds, a dog, and a seven kittens, we also are thinking about getting a bearded dragon and we currently have a scalata tortoise!

Rover is my full time job so whatever care your baby needs I’ll make sure to be on top of it! Most bookings I would like to keep my husband with me wherever I am (just for safety reasons), BUT if you’re not comfortable with that I TOTALLY understand and I’m more than willing to stay without my husband!! I want to do whatever makes YOU AND YOUR BABIES safe, happy and comfortable!
About: I've been a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. From tiny, nervous rescues to big, goofy cuddle-bugs, I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive - the kind of sitter who notices the little things, keeps routines consistent, and makes sure your dog feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their humans. I work part-time and have flexible hours for pet care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekday afternoons after 2p.m. Your dog will always have calm, consistent company. My home is quiet and safe, with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I keep routines simple and peaceful, making sure every pup feels secure and cared for. Crating or separate rest spaces are always available if needed.
About: Message me so can discuss private pay, which is much cheaper than you booking me through rover. Majority of my clients found me on rover, but use me often and pay much less strait to me. I’ve taken care of pets, dogs mostly, since I was little. I didn’t have normal chores growing up, I had the job of taking care of the household pets. This gave me responsibility and respect for all living beings. Dogs happen to have a warm spot in my heart. I work full time, during a 4 day work period. I have 7 household dogs and 2 outdoor Kit cats. These pets are my world and make every day better as I come home with an exhausted mindset. I have a large yard that allows my pets to run back and forth. They come in at night and love to cuddle on mommas bed.
About: Hi, I’m Dylin! I have cared for large and small dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens and goats (and every small rodent in between) since I was a child! I have petsat for family and friends since I was around eight years old. I grew up on a farm and have experience working with aggressive pets and tending to sick or injured animals. I love taking walks through Cameron Park. I’m a theater student with a flexible schedule and a love for all creatures, big and small! I’m currently living at home, working part time locally and saving to move out! My schedule is very flexible, I have early morning availability and I can work on the weekends. I am enrolled in online classes and I like to take my schoolwork with me during pet visits. The only times I can’t work are Wednesday evenings, other than that I’m free! I am respectful of client’s homes and I run a tight ship! As well as providing love and attention for your pet, a top priority of mine is to keep your house and their space clean. I go the extra mile to ensure your home is exactly as you left it! I am a considerate dog walker to furbabies and other pet owners out walking! I let dogs take their time to sniff, and I am patient with unruly or hyperactive behavior. I have experience walking with big dogs that pull; I’m stronger than I look!

About: With my love for animals, along with my bubbly and outgoing personality, I’m able to bring even the shyest animal out of their sell, giving me my the animal whisperer I currently work part time (weekends) as a nanny, but I also want to bring even more joy into my life by taking care of your fur babies weekdays! First I let the fur baby get to know me in order to create a calm, loving, happy, and peaceful environment and relationship. Secondly I then check any list and rules that the fur parents might have given me, to ensure that the fur baby is taken care of properly.

Lastly I clean anything I have used and check that all windows and doors are closed and locked before leaving.

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.
