“My first time with Rover and Spencer was exceptional great with my cat Molly. He informed me everyday and although my cat is shy, Spencer tried his best. He was great at keeping up with feedings, litter box cleanings. Overall, I recommend him.”

About: I have a bachelors of animal science and I have been taking care of pets and farm animals for over 10 years. I am very knowledgable of pet behavior, especially dogs and cats, and I am first aid certified. I treat every pet I care for like my own. My pet care service is Your Fairy Dogmother LLC. I am currently dog walking and pet sitting full time on weekdays while I attend grad school part time. I’m usually available Monday-Friday from 10am-8pm. I’m occasionally available on the weekends for regulars. I pride myself on making sure the pets I care for are happy, healthy, safe, and that their needs are met. I always double check that the house is clean and safe before I leave and I lock up thoroughly. Please note that I have a zero tolerance policy for any dogs or cats that bite or have any aggressive behavior. I also cannot walk any large or strong dogs that are heavy leash pullers due to an old injury. I will only book a walk or drop-in if a meet & greet can be done beforehand.

About: Hi! I’m Gianna and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a family that always had two or three dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Schipperkes, and Chihuahuas, and I’ve also looked after Shepherds, Pit Bull mixes, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m committed to providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. In addition to dogs, I grew up horseback riding and spending countless hours on farms surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and farm dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my greatest passions. I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. When the school year begins, I am still available before school, during lunch breaks (if your home is close enough), as well as after school and in the evenings. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, relaxing together, going on long walks, or visiting dog parks, I always tailor my care to meet each dog’s individual needs and personality. If your pet stays with me, they will have free access to my apartment and are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean and just as you left it. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet sitting experience. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’m a dedicated pet owner myself to a unique Sphynx cat and a rescue dog I adopted during the pandemic, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a fun, energetic walk, drop-in visits, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. My home is clean and smoke-free, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, safety, and lots of affection. As well as providing daily photos. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working from home full time so most of my day is spent in or around the house. Depending on your particular pet’s needs they will be fed on schedule and shown plenty of attention. For the shy kitties, an extra room is available for their comfort but my home is a completely caged free environment for the kitties. I have a fenced yard and spare bedroom if anxious pets need their own space. I have a very friendly and lovable sphynx cat and rescued doggy that loves visitors. If your home is a better fit, I follow your instructions and treat your space as I would my own with care and respect. Trust is everything and I want my clients to rest assure that their pets and their space are safe and cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years helping friends and family by watching their cats and dogs whenever they’ve needed someone they could trust. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including giving medications when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have two cats of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for them the same way you would, and that’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family members! I currently have full time availability until 8/30/26. I am currently available during the week or on weekends. Beginning 8/31, I will only have availability after 4:30pm or on weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special care they need. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re doing well.

About: Animals are my heart, purpose, and passion. I promise to love your pets as my very own. I have worked in the animal industry for a while so I am very good with monitoring their behaviors, needs, and potential health issues, etc. I’ve had experience as a dog groomer, veterinary assistant, exam room assistant, clinic worker, and as doggy daycare staff. Please note that I do work 4 days a week at a spay and neuter clinic, 10 hour shifts (730am-530pm). Im off Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do not mind sitting on my work days if your dog is ok with me being out of the house that long. However due to this, I often Dogsit on weekends and have recently been booking up fast! :) I give them all the boops and kisses and cuddles and walks! I try to follow their routine as closely as possible. So just let me know what you want me to do and I’ll do it!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable around larger dogs and learned from a young age how to properly handle, train, and care for them. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m a lifelong animal lover and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently have a Siamese cat named Skye who is 2 years old, and plan on getting a dog once I have a larger place and yard! I currently work remote, so I am flexible Mon-Thurs during the day/night. Please just provide at least a 1 day notice so I can plan ahead. I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific house rules. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time, patience, and attention they need to feel comfortable with me.

About: Great to meet you! I have over 14 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs to cats to snakes, bearded dragons, and even ants (yes I know)... and the list goes on! Ever since I can remember, I've always loved animals (dogs especially). To fulfill my wish to have a pet, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and would frequently visit just to spend time with some of the animals and give them some love. There, I was able to learn how to better care for our furry friends, both elderly and young. Being able to play with them was just a bonus for me! While your dog is with me they will have access to a big fenced yard to play in and enjoy. If you'd prefer them to stay in their natural environment, that's fine too! Whatever makes them most comfortable, I'm happy to provide. Every pet's needs & wants are different, which I take the time to acknowledge when caring for them. My top priority is making sure your pets are safe, loved, and content while you're away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help! Thanks for considering me! I love to start our mornings off with a nice hike or walk at my nearby beach, typically about 2 miles. The afternoons will do a shorter walk and have some outdoor playtime. Ultimately, our day will be reflective of what your pups specific needs are. Working from home, your pets will get plenty of time and attention in my care! While boarding, they will have access to roam and play about in a fenced in yard under my supervision. Rest assured, I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. Making sure also to give you daily updates so you know your pup is well cared for!

About: Socialized dogs will absolutely have a great time staying with me as we spend time at the dog park and make new friends! High energy pups are my favorite as I'm a long distance runner and can handle extended walks/runs with your buddy. I've had 3 years experience at dog kennels and was responsible for monitoring group play of up to 20 dogs in one yard. Puppy group play was my favorite and most intensive role as I was trained to recognize dog body language and maintain safety when pups were getting too ruff. During my time in kennels, I also was able to provide scheduled feedings and administer oral medications daily. My family owns an elderly dog with arthritis, and during cold months I am willing to carry dogs up/down stairs to avoid slips on snow/ice. During a long-term stay I will gladly spend time with your pooch for walks, play time and socializing, naps, massages, and feedings. Observing dog behavior during each of these parts of our day is important to me. This allows me have a detailed report of your pet's stay when you return. Keeping track of any behavioral, digestive, or sleep-related issues is always made a top priority for my guests. I typically begin my day with walking any dogs that are staying overnight with me, could be at the dog park, then feeding them, and then heading out for 1-2 hours to walk my regular clients on weekdays. With winter approaching, we may need to minimize time spent on walks during heavy snow/rain. However, larger breeds who can handle snow days are encouraged to stay with me for extended outdoor play. It's very important to me to establish trust with new dogs at their own pace. This is easily done by giving the typical commands and rewarding with treats, as well as affirming trust on leashed walks. In my apartment building there are other dogs who live on my floor, and I'm very vigilant about who is in the hallway or stairwells when I am taking a dog outside. Within my apartment unit, your pet can freely relax on the couch or large rugs I have. Smaller breeds are also welcome to relax on my bed along with me when its time to sleep. I do my best to keep dogs calm and like to be hands on with lots of belly rubs and ear scratching as most dogs seem to really enjoy that. Its also important to me to clean my apartment before and after I have pets staying overnight.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable around dogs of all kinds and happy to learn your pup’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether we’re walking, playing, visiting the dog park, or simply spending time together, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we live in a condo, but having one again is definitely in my future! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets through Rover part-time. Depending on your location, I’m usually available as early as noon, with even more flexibility after 3 PM. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk based on their usual routine, energy level, and needs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including preferred routes, walking pace, feeding or water needs, and how they interact with other dogs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care while we’re together.

About: My family has always had dogs since I was a baby.I have helped raise my two dogs since they were puppies. I also have been sitting friends dogs for years now. Dogs being much joy to my life and I don’t know what I would do without them. I am a teacher so I have full availability during the summer time. During the school year I work from 8-3 so I am not away from home for too long. I am very flexible! I have a house that is set back from the street that is not fenced in. We do have a set up for a long rope and leash for our friends that cannot be off leash. My own two friendly dogs are there to keep your pup company. My other family members are huge dog lovers so there is plenty of love to go around.

My dogs are my world, so leaving them—even for a short trip—comes with a lot of anxiety and careful consideration. I had a last-minute work trip come up, and Robin was incredibly accommodating, stepping in on very short notice to stay with my girls for a couple of days. She was thoughtful, careful, and clearly brought a lot of experience to the job. She sent regular updates throughout the day, often with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I never had to wonder how they were doing—I knew they were in really good hands. When my return trip ended up taking longer than expected, Robin was also able to pivot at the last minute and come back to give them an extra walk and make sure they were taken care of. I also came home to a clean and tidy house, a thoughtful note with updates, and my mail brought inside. Those little things meant a lot and really reflected how considerate she was throughout the entire stay. I am endlessly appreciative of Robin and the care she gave my girls. I would absolutely trust her with them again and will happily book with her in the future. Five stars — THANK YOU ROBIN!

We cannot recommend Mikala enough! Leaving our cat Salem while we were away for nearly two weeks on our honeymoon was one of the hardest parts of the trip, but she gave us complete peace of mind from day one. She checked on Salem daily, spent quality time with him, made sure he was fed, comfortable, and cared for, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. As devoted pet parents, those updates meant the world to us and allowed us to truly enjoy our honeymoon knowing Salem was in such loving hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, healthy, well-loved cat, and we are so incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provided. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, look no further. We will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Salem. 🤍

I had a great experience with Jordan caring for my two Golden Retrievers while I was away. Leaving your dogs with someone else can be stressful, but I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Throughout my time away, communication was excellent, and I appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that my dogs were well cared for, getting plenty of attention and affection. When I returned home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated very well. I would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, and I would not hesitate to use their services again.

  • 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.

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 use the 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.
