About: I have cared for my own dog from when she was a puppy and up until her passing. I also currently help take care of my roomates’ dogs. I’m well versed in dogs of all types and ages. I do pet care daily for my roomates dogs and would love to help care for more dogs in the area. I enjoy spending my time with them. When taking care of my friends pets at home, I have them sleep with me in my room, so that I can hear if they need anything at any time.
About: I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses, chickens, you name it, my entire life! I have always been a big pet lover and have been in need of some animal time since coming to college! I am skilled with puppy care and senior care for dogs and cats. I am currently working part time so I have a good amount of free time to spend with your pets! Especially during the weekdays ! I like to make sure that all pets are comfortable in their environment and adjustment to it! I like to give the animals their space if needed or give them as much attention as they desire! I can take care of your pet in anyway you feel is necessary!
About: I am a big dog lover and a proud pet parent to two dogs (Dude, goofy but lovable chocolate lab and my princess Gracie, a King Charles Cavalier and a sweet senior cat Zuzu.), so caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My pets are truly my babies so I know what it means to have someone you trust to treat them like family! I have adopted senior dogs in the past as well so I have experience with older / special needs dogs too. I work from home most days - for drop ins mornings and nights for drop ins are better for me but I can do lunchtime drop ins. I have a fenced in yard in both the back and front yard on a safe small private lane. I do not allow pets outside unsupervised!
“Siarra was flexible, provided clear communication, and gave thoughtful updates throughout the drop-in visit. She was easy to work with and I’d recommended her to others. Thanks for your help!”
About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.
About: I am a responsible and reliable person. I am very gentle, and caring with animals. My whole life I’ve always wanted to be a vet. I want to help & take care for animals in any way I can. My family has always owned animals. We owned cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, frogs, fish, turtles, a tortoise, an african grey parrot, parakeets and a bearded dragon. For some time I have been walking dogs, pet sitting and dog bathing for family and friends. I became a vet assistant for a few years and wanted to try a new trade so now i am currently working as a dog groomer ! I am currently taking a break from dog grooming so I’m available anytime of the day! Very flexible with anyone's schedule! Would love to keep working with animals :) I always take care of any pets that are in my care! If I’m walking them , I will take them on adventures . Or just drop in visits, will give all my attention to them and make sure they are good before I leave!
“Patty is extremely friendly, communicative, and reliable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and, as soon as I met her, I felt instantly at ease. She is very loving with the dogs, and conscientiously takes care of each task that I request, even changing pee pads for me! I could not have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. She is so professional that the whole process felt incredibly easy and stress-free.”
“Our cat and chickens were well cared for by Jill during several days of drop in visits. Jill welcomed and fulfilled my detailed requests for their care and provided daily updates to confirm that all was well with our animals.”
“Mariah was great! She stopped in to feed and check on my two cats over a long weekend. She was communicative and helpful with bringing in some packages that were left while I was gone. One of my boys was a little shy but the other came out and made friends pretty quickly. This was the first time using a sitter from Rover and I'm super impressed with how easy she made it.”
About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

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.
