“Everything went well, seeing as it was short notice. We got sent a lot of pictures of our pup out walking. When we returned home our dog seemed happy and not stressed at all. Very happy with our service”

About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.

About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets! I work part time at a dog boarding facility so I’m available most weekends and most weekdays to walk dogs and do drop ins! I have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love all breeds as well as all cats! Pets are my passion and I’d love to meet your pets!
“Frequent flier here! Morgan is so sweet and easy to communicate with, I always feel comfortable leaving my old girl Lucy with her. As Lucy gets older and more difficult to manage, Morgan continues to be patient with her and give her the love she needs while I'm away. I would recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs in a heartbeat!”

“Christine is a sweetheart. Since I met her I could tell her love for dogs.Skipper was excited to meet her, always a good sign. She was on time to take care of our fur baby, sent pictures and communicated well. We will definitely ask her to help us again.”
About: I’ve had several years of personal and professional animal care experience as a kennel technician, dog daycare host and vet technician assistant in the animal hospital atmosphere. Not employed with a full time job currently, pretty open with availability at this time. I do plan on returning to a part time position soon Pets will always be walked on a leash with constant supervision. Can offer long dog walks, play time at the local dog park, and spa days.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised my 7 year old golden retriever. I have trained her for the last 6 years and have also gotten the opportunity to train and take care of plenty of family and neighborhood pets. I’ve had the privilege of training puppies and older dogs as well. I have also gotten the opportunity to take care of a few senior pets that needed extra care and medications. I was also a volunteer at my local shelter for about a year so I have experience with lots of different breeds and personalities. I love all dogs no matter the breed or size, your pets are all family to me! I’m currently a college student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am willing to spend as much time with them as needed. I have a fenced yard and a friendly, loving golden retriever. I am able to help with potty training, crate training, and any other type of training you might need. I also try to maintain your pets on the same schedule you had them on so that it is an easy and fun time for them! My favorite pastime is to walk and play with all pets. I also love to send many updates so you can see just how happy they are!

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred
About: I have been a pet owner for about 15 years. I love walking dogs and caring for cats and fish. I am passionate about ensuring that pets are well cared for and just as happy when their owners return home as when they left. I am a second year dental student and have a fairly open schedule. I only have class for a few hours in the morning and some afternoons during the week days. I am available for dog walking and for general pet sitting responsibilities If I am caring for a dog then I make sure that they get plenty of exercise with a walk and being let outside. I also follow the directions of the client if they need to be crated or if a portion of the house is off limits to the pet. For cats I will make sure that they are fed and that the litter box is clean and anything additional the client is looking for.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have also fostered while in college, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I think what sets me apart is that I’m very reliable and organized — I take routines seriously and understand that pets need consistency. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks and staying busy, I’m a great fit. At the same time, I’m patient and calm with more anxious or slower-paced dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, which means your dog will receive consistent attention, regular walks, and proper feeding on time. I understand how important routine and structure are for pets, and I take that seriously. Safety is really important to me. I’m very mindful about secure leashing, keeping doors closed, and supervising at all times. My home is clean and safe, and I make sure dogs are comfortable and never left unattended in risky situations. I want you to feel completely confident leaving your dog with me.
About: I’m a dog trainer, reptile educator and small scale snake breeder (so I have experience caring for hatching snakes), and have fostered cats, dogs and reptiles. I have worked with animals since I was a small child. I’ve trained my own service dog and love training with young puppies and giving them a confident foundation. I regularly go bike joring with my own dog. I’ve always lived with cats and am very comfortable caring for them. I own many reptiles and am experienced with snakes and lizards, I’ve also worked with horses (rode competitively for 9 years and managed the care of four horses) and other farm animals. I’m not afraid of exotic animals like invertebrates and have some experience with them and with fish. I moved recently from Georgia and so my schedule is a little sporadic but free, I have a car to get around and can travel with animals easily. I regularly take hikes with my own dog, and have a car kennel for safe transport (the brand is Ruffland). I always double check doors are closed and locked as I had a dog when I was a kid who escaped because of a sitter. I follow instructions very carefully and treat every animal I interact with the way I’d like someone to treat my own pets. I keep pet reptiles and can feed and care for yours if need be.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and I've loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've helped friends, family, and neighbors with dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and giving their pets the love and attention they deserve while they're away.

I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and can provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet's needs.

I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication, dependable service, and creating a calm, positive experience for both you and your pet. You can expect regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention while you're away.

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.
About: I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾 Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
