About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of pets from a young age. From dogs and cats to small animals and even reptiles and birds, I have hands-on experience with all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry) friends. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat about how I can help care for your beloved companions! I work mostly part-time with a flexible but varying schedule, so I require at least a two-week notice for pet-sitting jobs. With that notice, I can accommodate most hours needed. On most weekdays, I’m available for early morning visits before 8 AM and late-night visits after 10 PM. Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays are my most flexible days, with availability throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to discuss scheduling! I have many animals of my own, I feel it’s very important to keep your pets on a routine, it keeps them calm and relaxed throughout the day because they know what’s coming next.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. I also worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician, where I cared for dogs and cats by feeding them, cleaning their spaces, exercising them, and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I as well have house sit and dog sit many times for family or family friends. My experience has taught me how to recognize animals’ needs, handle pets of different personalities, and provide patient, reliable care. I am enrolled in college but only have classes during mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends, and I’m committed to providing reliable, care for you and your pets needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep your pet on their normal routine, and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime.

Katy and Zoey took great care of Fred while we were away! This was our first time leaving him home while we traveled, so we were a little nervous about how he would do. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were checking in on him and making sure he was happy and had everything he needed. They were reliable, easy to communicate with, and really sweet with Fred. We came home to a happy kitty who had clearly received plenty of care and attention. We appreciate Katy and Zoey and will definitely reach out to them again the next time we need someone to look after Fred!

Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.

Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly. She spent time getting to know our kitty and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She took great care of our fur baby and we will definitely use her again. Cannot recommend highly enough.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
