“As usual, Ashley was incredible with both of my cats! They are both excited to see her and even my shy cat wanted to visit. It really helps me feel less worried about my cats knowing she’s there taking care of them!!”
About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.
“Amy took great care of our spoiled 17 1/2 year old cat while we were away on vacation for over a week! She came in once a day to give medication and provide all the necessities. Amy was thorough in her communications with us.”
About: Taking care of animals is just something I love to do, your animals will be in good hands with me. Taken out, fed and given water anytime they need it. I would love to know some things your animals like so I can make sure they don’t feel lonely while you are gone. The last thing I want is your animal to feel lonely or abandoned while you are out. I can adjust my prices to whatever you need. Need to pay less that’s alright I can work with you on that. Taking care of animals is just something I love. Any animal at all, cats,birds,dogs, bunnies or guinea pigs. Anything at all I would love to take care of them ! Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to come play with your pups. Im so excited to meet your pups :) I will be letting them out, making sure they get there food and water at the appropriate time & lots and lots of playtime. If you have anything special you want me to do just let me know !
“Kelsey had quick communication & made sure to meet our girls before doing the first drop in for us. She has great energy, sent photos of our pups, & tolerated all of the excited jumping! Would absolutely book her again for drop ins!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and been around others’ as well. I am also a cat owner to a 1 year old boy. I have experience working in a vet clinic and am starting the CVM program at The Ohio State University in the fall. Currently, I am a college student on summer break with relatively free days. I am also working a part time job, but hours are very flexible. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in their own home, maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep the environment clean and secure, and prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication with the owner at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a child, and your pup will be pampered while I’m looking after them! Any day, anytime you need! I have a flexible work schedule, and can fit your furry friends needs in at anytime you need. Just ask! I have a large fenced in yard, and a very friendly dog at home. And if your dog is not dog friendly, I have multiple different fenced in areas. I can care for your dog however you would want them to be taken care of.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. We had small dogs and large dogs that had strict training schedules, so I have experience. I also have trained my dog from a puppy! I am available anytime! Just message me and I will be happy to be flexible with your schedules. Even if it’s last minute, don’t hesitate to ask! I ensure that each dog gets the attention they need based on their energy levels or current health conditions. I think exercise is very important!
About: At a young age of 5, I grew up loving and caring for a German Shepherd. Now, I have 3 dogs of my own. Outside of my dogs at home, I work at a Doggy Daycare. I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me. At my home, two of my three dogs are able to go out in the yard unleashed, the other on a lead. For your dogs, I am able to walk them daily if needed, I can also crate them if necessary. I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.
“Makayla did an outstanding job, We were away on vacation for a whole week and had her look in on the animals/house twice a day. She proved herself to be very loving and responsible! She was able to follow a detailed list of rules and responsibilities & my animals took to her very quickly which is especially unusual for my cat! Highly recommend 10/10!”
About: About Me: Hi, I'm Arya Naga. I was born in India and moved to the United States in 2005. Through the hard work and dedication of my parents, I achieved my goals of becoming a permanent resident (enroute to becoming a US Citizen in few months), earning my education and building my passion into a business dedicated to dogs. I provide boarding, daycare, training, behavior modification, walking, exercise, and grooming with one simple motto: **Happiness, Wellness, and Safety of Every Pet Under My Care.** I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, individualized attention, structured exercise, enrichment activities, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Every dog's care is customized based on age, energy level, temperament, health, and your specific instructions. I am currently signed up for my 3rd educational degree to finish pre DVM prerequisites in about 2-3 years, with the goal of getting into Cornell to pursue my DVM degree. I train my dogs regularly in obedience, tracking, agility and search and rescue. I am also a **NASAR Wilderness Air Scent Certified K9 Handler**, and I have experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. My Boarding Philosophy: Safety always comes first. Every dog is treated as an individual. I carefully evaluate each dog's temperament before introducing them to other dogs. While many dogs eventually enjoy supervised group play, I never force interactions simply because they're boarding together. If your dog prefers people over other dogs—or simply needs more personal space—they will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, enrichment, and affection instead. What Your Dog Can Expect: * Constant supervision while boarding * Structured play, walks, fetch, and enrichment * Individual feeding and medication (if needed) * Fresh water and frequent potty breaks * Clean, sanitized environment * Comfortable individual crate for rest and overnight sleeping * Plenty of exercise balanced with appropriate rest Dogs are never left crated all day. Throughout the day they enjoy multiple outdoor breaks, exercise sessions, walks, and playtime before returning indoors to relax and recharge. Crate Policy: All boarding dogs have their own appropriately sized crate for meals, rest periods, and overnight sleeping. This helps maintain a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every dog while preventing accidents, unwanted chewing, food stealing, marking, or conflicts between unfamiliar dogs. Crate training is also an important life skill that benefits dogs in veterinary care, travel, and training environments. Cleanliness: Maintaining a clean environment is one of my highest priorities. My home, crates, and equipment are cleaned and sanitized regularly using pet-safe cleaning products to provide a healthy environment for every guest. Feeding: I recommend owners bring their dog's regular food to avoid digestive upset. However, if needed, I can provide my own high-quality kibble for a reasonable additional fee, provided your dog has no known food sensitivities. What I Ask From Owners: To provide the best care possible, I ask that owners share: * Your dog's daily routine * Feeding and medication instructions * Behavioral history (both strengths and challenges) * Play style and exercise preferences * Any medical conditions or special needs The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. My Commitment: My goal is for every dog to leave my home happy, healthy, safe, and excited to return. I take the trust you place in me seriously and will care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I also perform a wellness check during both drop-off and pickup to document your dog's condition and ensure transparency for everyone involved. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As i work from home, i can attend the pets needs in a timely manner and ensure they are always well taken care of and are having a good time when boarded with me. They come out every 2-3 hrs and get walked or played hard for 30-40 mins each session and the loop repeats like from 6am/7am to midnight. I give personalized attention to an individual pup’s needs and strategize my approach accordingly. The pets are always provided with required amount of food, plenty of water, play and potty breaks between 7am to 1am.
About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.
“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11 and have experience with a wide veriety of small to large size dogs. Experience includins walking, playing, pottying , brushing and giving medicine. Pet care is my primary focus as I am not employed elsewhere. Because I stay at the pet's home, my routine is based around care of the pet. I spend my time in the client's home playing with and caring for the pet(s). I follow the pet's routine as directed by the client, providing walks, feedings, play and bedtime routines the pet is accustomed to having.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 14+years I’m an animal lover, I love going outdoors with them as well as cuddling them. I’m very reliable and great at communicating. I’ve even had my neighbors let me watch their pets :) I’m currently out of school so my schedule is very open. Even once school is back open I’m still pretty free and reliable and communicative. In my clients home I always make sure there isn’t anything laying around that the animal can get hurt by and provide food and water.

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.

- 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.

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.
