About: I have over 12 years of professional experience working with dogs, including shelter and rescue work, animal control, and managing a busy dog daycare and boarding facility. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and dogs that may need a little extra patience. I have extensive experience reading canine body language, managing safe dog interactions, following feeding and medication routines, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I’m used to planning my schedule around. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. As I take on part-time work, I’ll continue scheduling bookings around my work hours so every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and routine they need. I try to keep each pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their individual needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and secure. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and closely supervise interactions so every pet stays comfortable and happy.

About: I have 20+ years of experience taking care of senior dogs, puppies, and rambunctious teens. I lost my senior girl in August 2026 and have wanted to spend time with the energy and love of dogs since then. She was on a few medicines, but we made her sunset years beautiful and fun. I would love to spend time with your pets, making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable while you are gone! I’m currently looking for remote work and have all the time in the world for your pets! I am interested in spending time outside with pets, making sure they are having fun while you are gone! My home is open to dogs, but unfortunately an allergy prohibits cats. I have a ranch style house which is nice and easy for seniors to get in and out of. The backyard is fenced so they can roam, or we can put on a leash and explore the land around us. I have dog beds and toys for them to tear up or carrying around - whatever’s clever!

About: My family and I were the caretakers for a nature preserve where we had our farm with many different animals some of which were pets and others were farm animals but all were loved and cared for! I believe this taught me how to care for any animal which led me to pet sitting a few years ago and i absolutely love it! I have a super flexible schedule and I’m always willing to work with your schedule to make sure the timing works great for you! Due to the fact i primarily clean and pet sit for work i always have lots of free time! No matter if I’m sitting in my home or yours your pet will get many walks, potty breaks, and lots of love! Plus you’ll receive plenty of pictures and videos to help ease the stress of leaving them behind!

About: I live on a ranch and have experience with all animals and I just happen to have time to take care of others animals while they are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands to help out others with their animals while they are away. I have plenty of land that I live on along with extra room for animals if needed (large or small). I often take the dogs with me on my runs.

About: Hi there! I’m Hannah! I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs at home. I have had experience caring for small dogs as well as very large breeds. I have lots of experience pet sitting for many days ( even weeks) at a time. I have cared for every kind of dog from small and old with special needs to large and very playful requiring lots of exercise. I am a very active person and will gladly take your pup on runs and long walks if needed. I would be very grateful to spend some time with your pet and will care for them as if they are my own. I am available anytime throughout the week and I am also available weekends as well.

About: I've been taking care of and raising animals since I was a young child. Throughout my life I've owned many different breeds of dog, as well as sat for friends and family pets. I love to play with pets who are willing, or just hang out with them. My schedule is currently wide open for pet care as I've recently moved here from out of state. I can stay in your pets home, or just check in on them throughout the day. I'm currently not offering sitting in my home because I've got an old pup of my own, but I care for others pets as if they're my own. However if I'm pet sitting in someone else's home I follow the guidelines I'm given to the letter!

From dogs and cats to small mammals, I've cared for a wide variety of pets with love and attention to detail.

With a passion for animals and a commitment to excellence, you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care for your furry family members, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Sunday-Monday I am available to do full time. Whether it’s in home, on a hike. I am more than pleasured to offer 24 hour supervision. Tuesday-Saturday, anytime after 6pm. I can do overnight but would have to leave the following morning for my main job. In my home, I ensure a safe and welcoming environment for pets entrusted to my care. This includes providing comfortable sleeping areas, access to fresh water and nutritious food, and ample opportunities for play and exercise. I tailor activities to suit each pet's personality and energy levels, whether it's interactive games, leisurely walks, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and surroundings to minimize stress and ensure continuity of care. This involves following feeding schedules, administering any necessary medications, and providing companionship and attention tailored to each pet's needs. I also take care of household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for in the owner's absence. Overall, whether in my home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals.

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.
