“Christy was wonderful! My cat Bean is a very shy girl, but Christy was attentive to her needs, always quick to respond to messages, and her care shone through those messages. I will absolutely reach out to her again if I am needing a sitter.”
About: I have been exposed to animals for the entirety of my life, my family has always fostered cats and has had dogs in the house. I have handled dogs of all sizes and all energy levels, from puppy to seniors and herding dogs to couch-potatos. I’m currently available for part-time drop ins, or overnight weekend stays. I am a college student so I have availability sporadically throughout the day, early morning, or late night. I am open to any setup to care for pets, and will diligently follow any instructions given for the specific animal. I am a college student so I am only available to go to clients homes rather than bring animals to me.
“Olivia has been doing drop-in visits for my puppy for the past few months and has been amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when I’m away. She always makes sure my puppy is well taken care of, gets plenty of attention, and keeps me updated during visits. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“She was INCREDIBLE!!! So many pictures, very communicative, helped me when I was in need of a last minute drop in. My dog looked like she had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amber is a kind & caring person.. and was great with our two cats. Our youngest is afraid of everything and usually won’t come out of hiding when someone is at the house. But Amber was able to get him to warm up and play with her. It was wonderful knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I love animals. I have two cat, and had a dog in my 20s before she passed away. I love to walk, play and cuddle with all pets. I have pretty open availability. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine, so I know how tricky it can be, but I will make sure they get it down. My aunt has a dog rescue, so if I ever have any questions I have a great person to turn too, as she is currently caring for over 50 dogs, and working on getting a no kill animal shelter built. I am available all day Monday-Friday. If I have one days notice I can accommodate most requests! I also am available to be a weekly walker. I have two kitties, both around 2 years old. My previous cat was a senior cat, that requires a lot of love and attention.. he had several medicines he had to take that I gave him orally.
“Rachel is great!!! My dogs and cats loved her!!! Louie especially with ball catching. She dropped in each time we scheduled for our 3 days of pet sitting, sent pictures and greets communication. Thank you Rachel! We will book again!”
About: I’ve pet cared for dogs, cats, rats, and more! I adhere to feeding schedules and dietary needs, while remaining vigilant for any signs of distress or health changes. Should unexpected situations arise, I remain calm and follow pre-discussed emergency plans, making responsible decisions. I find joy in witnessing the unique personalities of the pets in my care and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment, offering peace of mind to you. My responsible, kind, and empathetic nature makes me a great fit to care for your companions. I'd love to meet your furry friends! I have an open schedule as a stay at home dog mom so I can fit other pets very easily! My own dogs usually have their meals at 8am and 6pm. Throughout the day there are many potty breaks and also time outside and play. I treat every animal as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort and happiness. I will maintain their usual schedule and activities to help ease their mind. (As well as the owners!)
“Shane was amazing. He was very professional and took such good care of my 3 doggies . He was also wonderful about checking in with me and keeping me updated with messages and pictures. He even went out of his way to go early and make sure they were able to potty with no accidents. I highly recommend him and would love to hire him again in the future. He was a great fit for my fur babies! They loved him!”
About: I have a husky/ retriever mix named Ice. She’ is 3 years old. I also have a cat named Heidi that is 5 years old. If you’d like I can take your dog on walks, to the dog park, and on bike rides seasonally. The jetski rides are just for Ice though 😜 My hope is to eventually fill my schedule completely with pet care for when I don’t have clients scheduled for personal training at a gym. Due to living in a small apartment and having both a dog and cat I won’t be doing pet sitting out of my own home. But I’d be happy to watch pets at client’s home or at the dog park if the client prefers.

“My puppy loves spending time with Lori. Lori has a sweet spirit and she is a special lady. She is wonderful with my 12 week old fur baby. They formed an instant bond. She met us ahead to be sure to get the details of the drop-in. Lori sent photos and videos of her progress with our puppy while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about training our rambunctious little guy to obey her commands. We are very impressed and can tell the difference she is making. We can't wait until we see her again. She is amazing!”

“Kylene is terrific. We were in the area for vacation and were able to get out for some long hikes and activities because of her. She has been wonderful with both our dogs who have very different needs, a 1 1/2 year old super energetic puppy and a 12 1/2 year old year slower senior dog. She did several drop-in visits and each time we came home to two happy, calm pups. Kylene was responsive, remembered all the info about each dog and treated them and our rental home as we would. I definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again. I just wish she was closer to our full-time home! Kylene, thanks for everything.”

And doggy parks I currently own a business and have the flexibility with my schedule to watch or walk your pup during the weekend. I like to walk and keep the pup exercising throughout the day. I unfortunately do not have a fenced yard, but I can walk your pup many times around the yard and be sure they get the well deserved attention.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain Home
Lacy was wonderful with our animals! She was very reliable, easy to communicate with, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She also went out of her way to refer a friend when we needed extra help. We really appreciate her and would happily book with her again! 🐾🤍
Natalie did another amazing job checking in on our two kitties while we were gone. She gave detailed updates on how they were doing and always sent photos. We knew they were getting lots of attention during her check-ins. We highly recommend Natalie as a pet sitter and will continue to book her in the future.
She went above and beyond for me when I had car trouble and couldn’t be back the day that I had planned on coming back home! She was super flexible and very understanding. I genuinely appreciated it. I don’t know what I would have done without her. 10/10, 5 STARS, I would recommend! My animals all loved her and she was very thoughtful and communicative. 😊👏
Leeanna did a great job feeding and caring for the dogs, cats and even the horses! She exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend her anyone who is looking for help with their animals during their absences. I will be asking her to feed for me in the future!

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
