About: More than just a side hustle, it’s my passion. •Lifelong dog owner, experience as a wrangler, ranch hand, foster, etc. Worked alongside & shadowed highly skilled trainers, worked in dog boarding facilities & private pet owners, while volunteering at shelters, rescues, and ranches. • Home 24/7 – Your pet will always be in my care and never left wondering where I am. •Mother lives with me currently, so an extra set of hands at all times! Your baby will have constant supervision and undivided attention! (Can meet her as well) • Single story home with a secure yard for safe play and relaxation. Back screen door is left open for furbabies to go potty whenever they want! • Two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends & can provide great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. (can be definitely separated, if needed) • Experience with animals of all sizes, ages, personalities, puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. My animals have always come first.. they eat before I do. They come before all. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. When your baby is in my care, they will be treated as my own. Working with animals has taught me patience, situational awareness, & how to understand the quiet, nonverbal ways they communicate. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and understood while their family is away. I would be honored to earn your trust, care for your furry family member like my own, and hopefully become their new best friend! -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly - No kids or cats in my home -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. - Usually only book 1 client at a time to ensure I give your dog the best attention & safety precautions. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.

About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy

About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.

“Cassidy is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend a better pet sitter. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my pup. She cared for her in my home for a full week, checking in twice a day and even staying overnight when needed. Cassidy is thoughtful, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. My pup was happy, well cared for, and honestly a little spoiled with her new routine! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Cassidy is a wonderful, hardworking, and genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to book her. She is truly exceptional. :)”

About: I am currently a dog bather, used to be a dog trainer and have experience with multiple dog breeds and temperaments, I know how to approach timid dogs as well as puppies or older dogs. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.

“Melissa was willing to help me out with a last minute request when other plans fell through. I was staying in Sugarloaf for a ski weekend and the person I had lined up to walk my puppy, Alfie, canceled his Sunday walk on Saturday. I reached out to Melissa Saturday afternoon to see if she could help, and she responded almost immediately. During their walk, Alfie was so curious about the smells on the walk that he forgot to go potty. Melissa stayed long enough to make sure that he went. She was awesome. 100% recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Ismara! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m based in Big Bear and the Coachella Valley, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving when it comes to your pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, elderly, or has special care instructions, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also the proud co-owner of Pawsitive Patrol LLC, a local pet waste management business. Pet care is a part of my everyday life, and my experience has taught me the importance of responsibility, cleanliness, reliability, and paying attention to the little details that keep pets happy and healthy. A little about what I offer: 🐾 20+ years of hands-on pet care experience 🐾 Loving, individualized attention for every pet 🐾 Experience with feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special requests 🐾 Comfortable caring for pets in your home or mine 🐾 A secure fenced deck at my home for safe outdoor time, sunbathing, and play I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians and have some of my own! I absolutely love unique animals and would be excited to care for your scaly, feathered, or unusual family members too. From reptiles and birds to chickens and other special pets, I think every animal deserves the same patience, attention, and love. As a small business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on the pets in my care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment because I understand that your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need care! 🐶🐱🦎 As the owner of a local pet waste management business “Pawsitive Patrol” I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on giving your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve! 🩷 🐈🐕🦜🦎🐟 I have a fenced back deck for your pups to run around and sunbathe at my home.

About: ✨ A little name note: My profile says Leslie, but everyone calls me Nicky! My home has a backyard and a designated dog run, giving dogs a safe space to get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m very outdoorsy, so if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d love to take them along! Depending on their needs and your preferences, I can offer neighborhood walks, lake walks, hikes, and other outdoor activities. Of course, I’m just as happy caring for a pup who prefers relaxing at home and getting lots of attention. I have a 5 1/2 year old son that would love to give your pup some extra love if that is something you and your pup are okay with. If not, that’s totally okay and I can keep them separated. As far as the pets on furniture- we usually do not allow that. However, if you have a pet that is more comfortable and request it, I can make an exception. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and companionship while they’re with me! They’ll have lots of interaction, plenty of opportunities to enjoy our backyard and dog run, and lots of time to play or relax. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced yard and a designated dog run, giving your dog plenty of secure outdoor space to play, exercise, and relax. We do NOT have any pets at home, so your pet will not have to share a space and it’s safety, comfort, and individual needs will always come first.

About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.

About: For the last two decades, I have dedicated myself to house sitting and pet care for those closest to me. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments, I know how to read their body language, respect their routines, and give them exactly what they need to feel at ease. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I'm available for day or overnights during the week and most weekends. I am very loving and hands on type with pets. We can play in the yard if it's fenced and/or go for walks. I am comfortable to administer medication if needed, as I have cared for many senior foster and my own pets.

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.
