“Addison has been great with both our cat and our large dog on two separate week long trips. She gave us consistent updates and photos and happily addressed any concerns that came up along the way. We came home to happy animals on both occasions. We feel fortunate to have found her and plan to reach out to her again for any future pet care. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love making sure pets get all the attention, walks, and playtime they need while their owners are away. I dedicate all my time for your pet. My home is pet safe, clean, and comfortable, so your fur baby will feel right at home. I can crate dogs if needed and always provide supervised outdoor time, lots of cuddles, and constant care to make sure every pet feels safe and loved.
About: I've worked at a few different animal hospitals as a kennel tech and receptionist. I grew up having lots of dogs and kitties. We also have a small family farm. We grew up taking care of goats, chickens, turkeys and any other farm bird you can think of. I've trained a few of my past dogs growing up. I also have experience giving animals meds, bathing, nail cutting and I love going on walks! Always respectful of your home and your pets and I have great references to back that up! :) I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies! I work in an office, Monday - Friday, from 8am to 5pm. I am free weekends. I’m a homebody that enjoys crafting, watching movies and hanging with the animals. While I’m with your animal, I try to show them a lot of love and care because I know the stress it can cause when your pet is away from its owner. So I try to be extra caring and like to give a few extra treats and cuddles while you are away.
“Emily is a great pet sitter! We usually have to kennel our pets and being out of their home stresses them out, so we turned to this app for help. Emily was great, made sure one of our cats got his cancer meds and made sure both were well cared for. If you're looking for someone for pets especially kitties she's your person.”
“Kelly is amazing! So professional and I had zero doubt that she would let us down! My kitties are usually shy but she was able to pet most of them! Would 100% book her again ! :)🙂”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
About: Hello! I am a teacher looking to love on animals and make some money to help pay for my wedding! I have cared for many kinds of animals/homes over the years and pride myself on building close bonds with dogs and owners alike! As a pet parent to 2 dogs and 3 cats, I know how important it is to be able to leave your fur babies with someone you can trust. My former teachers, neighbors, and family members have all entrusted me with their dearest pets with satisfaction guaranteed! I am a teacher with summers off so pet care is currently my full time job! I can arrange my schedule to include twice or three times daily care minimum. I am also experienced in working with medically fragile dogs and cats who may need extra care! I make sure that the animals not only have their basic needs met, but also give them plenty attention and love…if they want it! I also respect that each animal is unique and may want solace over snuggles. I take the time to bond with every animal and figure out what they actually need.
About: I have been the go to pet sitter since I was in high school! My heart and home are full: love coming from someone with a 1yr old and a 15 yr old. I work a full time job but have some flexibility that I can use loving on animals - walks, games of fetch or just checking in I will follow your routine for tending to any needs your pet may have - I can tend to all ages and energy levels that I come across.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other large and small animals since I was 10. I have also worked in a vets office which has only increased my knowledge and care giving skills for all types of animals. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me anytime any day of the week to care for their furry friends. I am currently working with Rover full time so I will have time to play with your pets any time of the day with no worries that they will get the care they deserve. although I live in a apartment, I am more happy to take her for a friend for a long enjoyable walk or hike so they get the enrichment they need. If staying at your home, I can be flexible with any care instructions given. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was a child, always love to meet new pets and get their personalities. I love walking dogs and playing with cats. I have a full fenced yard and live in one of the best neighborhoods in Tallahassee. I work a full time job but always willing and able to sit or care for pets, I do work from home in my hours I do both, at home and at your own home depends on preference and pets personality, which ever you’re more comfortable with and makes the pet happy
About: I’ve been a dog and cat groomer for 4 years. I grew up on a farm taking care of all the animals from horses, cows, pigs, chickens , dogs , cats , turkeys etc. I’m very patient with animals who take more time to get to know new people who come into their lives and I love my senior animals who take a little longer on our walks :) I just moved to Florida from Arizona. This will be my full time job for now until I am able to save up to start my own mobile dog and cat business and hopefully be able to provide grooming services to all my lovely clients I am very reliable and flexible. I have always been the neighborhood help for pet care when my neighbors went on vacation. I’ve helped with feeding their farm animal and their indoor animals . I always follow the instructions giving to me and I always show up on time !
About: One of my biggest joys in life are animals. Every chance I get, I look after the pets of family and friends. I have been watching my grandmas 2 dogs when they go out of town for about 2 years. I have friends who ask me regularly to look after their furry friends for days to weeks at a time. Ive dealt with puppies, animals in need of medication, and non-Potty trained animals. I have stayed night at houses or just stopped by regularly depending on what you prefer. I have worked with pit bulls down to chihuahua's. Aside from just pets I also volunteer at a horse rescue which had an abundance of animals and i have learned a great amount from that experience. Not to mention I have 6 animals of my own (4 cats, 2 dogs) whom I love dearly. I currently work Part-Time at ALDI as a Store Associate. We stay relatively overstaffed therefore i get a maximum of 20 hours a week, leaving me with plenty of time with your pets! Safety is always number one when it comes to all pets im responsible for. I prioritize the wellbeing an an animal as i do myself. For example, At my house we have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play but when my dog was a puppy, she would jump the fence. Therefore i would prioritize letting her out with a leash in the back yard to prevent her from getting harmed off our property.
“Kendra is so amazing with my dogs, they love the time they get to spend with her! She communicates very well and is incredibly reliable. I will continue to book drop in visits with her! Highly recommend!”
“Andrew did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were out of town! Andrew was extremely thorough and sent us great pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be using him again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for fur babies for 13+ years—from raising my own fur babies to caring for friends’, family’s, and now clients’ pets! I own a cute bunny loaf named Hazel, as you can see in my profile picture. I’ve worked in an animal clinic and as a dog trainer, so I’m trained in reading pet body language, giving meds, and even stopping those surprise pet squabbles. Whether it’s a zoomie-filled pup or a chill senior, a lazy cat or a bouncy kitty, I’ve got the magic touch. I work full-time during the day Monday - Friday, but I’m available in the evenings after 5pm for fun walks and drop-in visits after work. Weekends are when I have the most time, so your pets can enjoy extra attention, playtime, and care. My schedule is perfect for evening strolls, belly rubs, and plenty of weekend cuddles! Think of me as your pet’s stand-in bestie while you’re away. I’ll stick to their normal routine—meals on time, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and even those dramatic “treat negotiations.” I keep things calm, safe, and cozy, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I give your fur baby. Expect photo updates so you can see all the cuteness (and maybe a few goofy moments) while you’re gone.
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on my class schedule. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.

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 .

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 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.
