About: Since I can remember I have always had a dog in my house up until a couple years ago. My job hours make it hard to care for one myself so when I have time I like to be around dogs. I am an active adult who enjoys animals. I coach basketball so makes it hard to have my own but still love being around dogs myself. In the home of the dog owner, I would want the dog to feel as comfortable as possible where they have their toys, bed, and ability to go on a walk familiar to them. I treat others home and property how I would treat my own if not better.
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of our 2 pups when she dog sat them, and they absolutely loved spending time with her! Rachel followed all of our instructions exactly and was great at playing with the dogs. She also sent us multiple pictures and updates after every check in. She even cleaned the floors at her last visit, so the house was clean when we got back from our trip. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with dogs. After Rachel took care of our 2 dogs for a weekend, they spent the next few days looking around the house for her. We will definitely be using Rachel as a dog sitter in the future!”
About: I've had pets or been around animals since I was a kid. I have 3 currently, 2 dogs and a cat, all rescues. They are some of the most understanding and lovable creatures on the planet and I love them a lot. I was always caring for my family's animals, I mostly cared for dogs and cat, but the occasional horse and chicken did pop up. I take care of my neighbors and co-worker's pets on occasion. I sometimes offer a hand for anyone needing a little help with grooming and general care, if they can't afford any services. I take care of a couple neighborhood cats as well. I currently have a job that 5 days a week, evening/night shift. I have plenty of time in the mornings for pet care and on my off days can provide care well into the evening. How I care for my pets and the care provided to yours may defer. I walk my dogs within our neighborhood on occasion and they go on car rides with me. They are crate trained but only spend a few hours at night in them and for meals, they are pretty free around the house during the day. I have a fenced in yard they spend a good amount of time to play and whatever else. They each have a schedule/routine that we follow daily for them that meets their needs/energy/physical abilities and personalities. Each animal has his or her own schedule/routines and I want to follow what they are comfortable and familiar with first and foremost, whether it is walking or stopping by for care.
About: My pet care experience consist of genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, whether that’s the playful energy of a puppy or the extra gentleness a senior pet deserves. With my background in Occupational Therapy, I’m especially attentive and compassionate, which helps me connect with pets of all ages and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.” I’m currently studying for my Occupational Therapy boards, which allows me a flexible routine and lots of extra time to care for your precious pup. When caring for pets, I always treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether that means sticking to their usual routine, going on walks, playtime, snuggles, or just being a calm and caring presence. I pay close attention to their needs and follow any instructions you provide, so your pet feels at home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Natchitoches stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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. 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 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.
