“Hunter was great! We got lots of pictures of our cats and all instructions were followed perfectly. Both kitties seemed very happy to have someone new to play with while we were out of town for a weekend. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: Hi, I'm Marla! I've always been an animal person, with having a cat of my own as well as two dogs, so I'm experienced with taking care of animals. Seeing pets is always a way to brighten my day, they bring me lots of joy! I've pet sat many dogs and a few reptiles! I'm looking to pet sit dogs, cats, fish & other animals as well. I know people have their own lives and need some assistance in taking care of their animals, and I am always here to help! If you need someone to walk your dog, feed your animals, clean up after them, or even just keep them entertained, I am the girl for you! I am a college student, so I am available from May 24th through August 31st. I've worked with animals practically my whole life, since my family has had cats and dogs since I was young. I started taking care of other animals in the past few years, this past summer I pet sat for many families. I’m experienced with pet sitting puppies, as I pet sat for two puppies recently. I’m also experienced with older dogs and giving animals medication. In my spare time, I read, hike, hangout with friends, or just watch a new movie/show. Excited to work with you! I am available practically everyday this summer to pet sit your animals! I do go back to college in late August, so I’m available until then. I prefer pet-sitting over boarding animals. I’m also comfortable with overnight care. I make sure the pets are happy, entertained, and fed. I clean their food bowls after each meal to ensure safety and cleanliness.

About: Hi! I’m Kyra, and I’m a passionate, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family.

I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and are always supervised around my toddler.

“Emily was awesome with my dog and cat! She was flexible with a last minute change I thought of, thorough in caring for and walking my dog, and communicated how each of her visits were. I’d highly recommend her and will use her services in the future if she’s available.”

About: I’ve worked for a local dog walking company for the past 2 summers, completing 4-8 walks per day as well as many overnight stays. I lived with my family dog for 5 years, and now help care for my roommates 2 cats as well. I absolutely love animals, I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to seniors. I’m looking to complete as many dog walks per day as possible, fitting them around my one class per day on campus. I can complete up to 10 walks a day, 11 being the most I’ve done in one day. I’m open to weekend work as well, but primarily prefer weekday work. I’ve learned so much about safety and trust in my years as a dog walker, allowing me to build a relationship with my clients, treating their pets as I would my own.
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”

“Thank you Christine for sitting my kitties and all the pictures you sent with your updates. Christine was quick to respond back when I sent the request. She came over for a meet and greet before I left. Christine was very welcoming very friendly.”

“Jackie was absolutely amazing! Sent us so many pictures and videos, and took such great care of our babies. Would 1000% book her again. Thank you Jackie! Our babies loved you.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little girl. Whether it’s a neighbor or a new friend I’ve helped with 100+ pets! I’ve walked, fed, played, bathed and helped with overnight care. I’m currently working part-time at a local restaurant. My hours are very very flexible and I’m happy to accommodate to anyones hours and/or needs :) I am very trustworthy, hardworking, and attentive especially with pets! I’m always keeping an eye out and making sure everything is going fluently ! !

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs. I attended veterinary technician school and worked at an animal hospital, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. I've had dogs my entire life and currently care for four of my own, giving me daily experience with dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided dog walking and pet sitting services for neighbors, family members, and friends over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My background allows me to provide attentive, reliable care while ensuring your pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. My schedule as a part-time server gives me flexibility, allowing me to dedicate time to dog walking, pet sitting, and providing personalized care for pets throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my routine comes naturally. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, mental stimulation, and attention they need while following any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to each dog's pace, personality, and comfort level to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. I am experienced handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of proper leash safety, hydration, and avoiding potentially unsafe situations. After each walk, I can provide updates on how your dog did and make sure they are settled comfortably before I leave. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals.

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.
