“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”

About: I have always had a huge love for dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! I volunteer as a trainer with 4 Paws for Ability, where I have fostered, trained, and served as the primary handler for three dogs. Through this experience, I gained valuable skills in obedience training, puppy development, understanding dog behavior, and providing consistent, loving care. Outside of 4 Paws for Ability, I've also been a regular pet sitter for multiple families, caring for their dogs and building trusting relationships with both the pets and their owners. Both through 4 Paws and individually I've cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies as young as 8 weeks old, as well as dogs with special needs and conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia and dogs in heat. These experiences have taught me how important it is to understand each dog's individual needs and adjust my care accordingly. One thing I especially enjoy is helping dogs maintain and build upon their existing training! I'm happy to reinforce commands, routines, and positive reinforcement techniques that families are already working on. I understand how important consistency is, especially for puppies and dogs actively learning new skills. Whether your dog is full of puppy energy, needs a little extra attention, or simply enjoys a relaxed routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog with someone else, and I'll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I'm currently a college student with a very flexible schedule! My classes are solely in the mornings and last no more than 2.5 hours (even when back-to-back), leaving me with plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to pet care. I have lots of availability for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your pup the love and attention they deserve! My weekends are also very flexible, allowing me to spend even more quality time with your pup and accommodate longer stays. I'm always happy to work with your dog's usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fully fenced-in dog park, providing plenty of space for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. Depending on your dog's personality and preferences, they can enjoy socializing with other dogs or have their own time to run around and play without other dogs present. I always prioritize safe interactions and will never force your pup into an environment they're uncomfortable with. I also have plenty of dog toys to keep your pup entertained, whether they love playing fetch, chewing on toys, or just having something fun to play with! I have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained or feels more comfortable having their own space. I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any ongoing training. With my experience handling and training dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to respect their space and maintain their dog's familiar routine as closely as possible. I also love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident that their pup is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they're away!

About: I really try to make pets feel at home. I’ve cared for anxious pups and cats, and seniors, before, so I’m extra tuned in to their comfort and what helps them settle. I pay attention to the little things — their pace, their quirks, what makes them relax — and adjust to whatever they need. I’m patient, gentle, and I do my best to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my day. I am a dog-mom myself and my little one, Louie, loves having friends over! I’m able to offer regular potty breaks, play sessions, and lots of companionship. I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, training cues, and downtime — so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of room to explore. I have a large fenced‑in yard, which gives dogs space to play, sniff, and stretch their legs while staying secure. I keep a steady routine with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, training cues, and comfort needs so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog loves active play or prefers gentle companionship, I adjust the pace to match their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines exactly as you describe them. I respect your space, your rules, and your pet’s established habits. I make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is always the same in any setting: help your pet feel safe, understood, and loved.

About: I have walked and done dog sitting for about 5 years now. All throughout high school I was the neighborhood dog walker and made a name for myself around my area. I dog walk all week and dog sit on the weekends. Big and little dogs are welcome 🙂. I am currently a student at UK and will be free this upcoming semester everyday except for Monday and Wednesday. I will be free on weekends to walk and dog sit if needed too. If I am walking, I will take your dog(s) on however long of a walk needed and make sure they are nice and cozy when we are done. If I am dog sitting, I will take your dog(s) for walks, play with them, keep them company, and make them feel comfortable when you are gone.

About: I am currently a small animal veterinarian licensed in both Kentucky and Georgia, but have been in the veterinary medical field since 2009, starting out as a vet assistant. While I have enjoyed helping animals throughout my veterinary career, I have decided to step away from the long, demanding hours of clinical medicine in order to have a better work-life balance so that I can spend more time with my family. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing what I love, which is caring for animals. As a veterinarian, I have worked with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with special medical needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior with more in depth needs, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or help with a pet who needs a little extra time and attention, I'd love to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a veterinarian transitioning away from full-time clinical practice to create more time for my family, I now have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or medication administration, I can easily build my schedule around each pet's individual needs. Caring for animals has always been more than just my profession, it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I grew up with dogs and raised them responsibly throughout my childhood. As a young adult, I adopted an older cat and had a loving five years together before my baby passed. I love animals of all kinds and would welcome taking care of your pets with gusto and compassion. I’m currently a full time college student with a part time job, but I can fit your needs into my schedule! I am available for early morning and afternoon dog walks, overnight weekday cat stays, and mid-day check-ins on your beloved animals. Message me if my times work for you. I live in a non smoking apartment that is very pet friendly, with plenty of room for a cat. When it comes to dog walking, I take the utmost safety precautions and would love to walk them within your own neighborhood, as my downtown neighborhood is not very amenable to dog walks.

About: I am a prevet student and have been taking care of animals of all forms since I was roughly 9 years old. I have a dog of my own, her name is Ellie, and she is very playful and loving with other animals including cats and people. I trained her myself and am able to work with younger pups as well as elder. I currently do not have a job and am trying to find small ways to make myself some money that is a little bit easier on myself. So any time can work for me as of now. I am very big on safety when it comes to my animals and will be with yours too. All animals have a special place in my heart whether UT be mine or not.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.

About: I would make a great dog sitter because I’ve had dogs myself and have lots of experience taking care of my friends’ animals. I’m responsible, love animals, and always make sure they feel safe and happy. I pay close attention to their needs and give them lots of care and attention while you’re away! I am currently working a part time job at a restaurant but am in need of a little extra cash because I am a student at the university of Kentucky and am home for the summer and want to spend more time doing more! I have a beautiful yard where they could run around and have never had any problems with my past dogs. I have houses close but again have never had any issues with there pets

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Migrate

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.
