“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”

“Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up. The alligator Daisy had in the middle of the floor, we don’t recognize it. Where did it come from?”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog. I’ve been a foster mom for years. I’ve fostered puppies to senior hospice dogs. I have trained many dogs and can train yours on our visits. I work from home most days of the week and have an indoor camera setup for when I do have to leave, I can check in on your furbaby. I have a house with a fenced in yard for activities and bathroom breaks. I live in a residential neighborhood and can take your dog for walks during the day. I usually leave dog tv on at a low volume during the day while I’m working from home. I am currently fostering a hospice dog, he gets along with other dogs and cats. I work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to schedule meetings around walks, sits and check ins without any issues. I’m offering all services. I make sure the pets in my care are safe and protected. I’m able to control large and small dogs. Walking large, strong dogs are not a problem.

About: I’ve owned at minimum one dog my entire life. Currently don’t have a dog in my household, would love to host yours. They’ll receive many walks, a fenced in yard, and lots of love. I work from home twice a week and I’m never gone from home for more than 4-5 hours at a time each day. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to provide your dog ample attention. I have a fairly large, secluded, fenced in yard that will allow your dog to spend time outside if that’s what they desire. I regularly go on multiple walks a day and will absolutely bring your pup with. Animals are welcome on all furniture in the house

About: I have been around dogs since I was born and have years of experience. During 2020, my family got a new puppy and I trained him for 4 months until he was about 5 months and then I left for college. I have dog sat for my neighbors a handful of times as of recent and want to offer my services to other people with fur babies of their own :) I also currently have two roommates, each with a dog, and help out whenever they are gone and throughout the day as I work from home. I currently work fully corporate job Monday through Friday. Weekends work the best for my schedule but I am available during the week if the situation permits. I am respectful of your space and the pups space and tend to keep to my area. I always make sure he/she is comfortable throughout my time caring for the pup.

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 4 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: Growing up on a farm means I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, including but not limited to: dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and even donkeys. I’m currently employed part time and looking to turn my love for animals into a side hustle. Right now my schedule is fairly open, I’m employed part time mainly working mornings and some weekends, may change but I’m always willing to be flexible. I don’t have my own place yet so I cannot board, but I will come to your house and care for the pet in whatever way is required, and clean up after myself before leaving. My belief is you shouldn’t even notice I was there!

“We are so thankful for Lucy! She was available last minute to check in on our golden retriever while we were out of town. Lucy went above and beyond for a simple drop in visit - walking Saylor around to explore/potty, feeding her dinner (even her pre-dinner trick ritual haha), giving her plenty of water breaks, playing with her inside too, etc. This was our first Rover experience and we are so glad it was with Lucy, the peace of mind is priceless. We 1000% recommend her and will be requesting her next time!”

About: I currently work at Banfield Pet Hospital in Clive as a Registered Veterinary Technician! I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds. I have owned animals my whole life and they are a big part of my life. I can help keep up with training as well as take care of your pets special needs. I am fear free certified and cat friendly certified. I also can trim nails and more for additions charges. I know emergency CPR and more. I am so EXCITED to meet your babies❤️ I can usually accommodate to your schedule. I work 10-11 hour days 4 days a week. I work with animals daily whether it’s my job or my own pets so I am around them 24/7! I can maybe stop by to do potty breaks on my lunch breaks depending on how far it is. I have demanding hours but will stop in before and after work. My first priority would be to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable with me! I want to make sure they feel as that i am not an intruder. I don’t want them to get nervous or anxious! I would be doing lots of cuddling, playtime, naps, and of course…treats (if allowed) with your fur baby(s)! I can help train your pets as well as provide enrichment.

About: Like Dom Toretto said, I don’t have pets.. I have family. Been around all kinds of pets since I was a kid, and having the chance to engage with YOUR pets now is a great opportunity Im ready to take. I work from home, so I’m home all the time to watch after your fur baby. Your dog will get daily walks, treats, and affection. I have a fenced in yard, 3 lovely fur babies, and I can guarantee you almost every single toy in pet smart, I own😂 Your pet will be in a smoke and drink free home, we do have birds but they are caged together in their room, and do not get let out. My house, will now be your pet’s new temporary house until whenever you decide to come back! Getting to spend time with your pet, and keep mine company, is a delightful idea.

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.
