“Gracie was so great. I was nervous about how my pup would interact with someone new but she was able to do a meet and greet first. She was so patient with him and I will be booking her again in the near future.”
“My cat is VERY skittish with strangers, or really anyone if anyone he knows isn’t present. But despite that Omer has been able to have my cat become friendly with him and be willing to engage. For me that’s all I ask for in a sitter.”
“Jackeline was so great. She took amazing care of our sweet pup, had clear communication, and even changed her schedule to fit in an extra unplanned visit. I would definitely hire her again to take care our our pup.”
About: I have two chihuahua mixes, 13 and 5 years old, all that I have had since they were puppies. When friends and family members are out of town I am relied on to care for them. Hoping to extend the service to you! I live near a great walking path in Pflugerville. Weather pending I walk the dogs one to two times a day. Between these walks I have a large backyard and dog door that allows everyone to go in and out. I will be available to care for dogs at my home by being around at all times and using an unused guest room for dogs at night for sleeping.
About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
About: I’m currently home full time during a career transition and regularly walk 5+ miles a day - most of the time on the Lady Bird Lake trail (a personal favorite in my new town!) I love dogs, so why not do those miles with a friend?! I won’t view walking your beloved pet as an obligation that I want to get over as soon as possible but as a fun addition to my day, and that will show in how your dog feels about it as well! I had a beautiful Weimaraner named Heidi that recently passed away, but I am certain regularly walking her as a puppy prepared for me almost any breed! I also fostered a Treeing Walker Coonhound for 6mos after it was found running on the side of the road in Virginia hunting country - Francis was skittish and emaciated when I received him, but after a few months of apartment living including walks 3+ times a day, regular eating, and training I found him a new home in no time. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience and attention to details to loving and spoiling your pet!
About: Hi, pet owners! I love dogs with a passion, but I am unable to care for one 24/7 like any dog deserves. Therefore, I thought dog sitting would be a happy medium. I have dog sat in the past many times for friends and family and have always been happily invited back. I spent two years as a manager of a Doggy daycare as well. I know how important our dogs are to us, so I will make sure to treat your dog as one of my own. I have experience taking care of dogs ranging from toy poodles to mastiffs. I also have been through dog training classes and dog walking classes. Your best friend will be in good hands with me! I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day and work evening and weekends, and my schedule doesn’t require I’m away for longer than 5 hours in most cases. I will treat your dog as one of my own. I will be sure to talk through your typical schedule for them, so everyone will be comfortable!
About: I grew up with an amazing Doberman and 3 wonderful Rottweilers so I love big dogs and have lots of experience working with them. My family had 2 cats and my favorite aunt has had many more throughout her lifetime that I always wanted to go play with. I have through the years also had fish, rabbits, and many friends and family who I've help care for their reptiles(turtles, lizards, snakes, birds) in addition to their fur babies. I'm trying to make animal care my full time job while everyone is at school, so I have all day to care for your pets and home during the week. My home has a very nervous shelter rescue dog so I cannot invite new dogs in, but I have house/pet sat for many friends and families through the years and always had happy results. I understand every animal has individual needs and I strive to accommodate that, along with always trying to leave a place as nice as if not better than I found it.
About: I have spent the majority of my life around all types of animal, dogs being my passion. I have worked as a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, and recently I worked at a doggy daycare where I groomed, trained, and watched over dozens of dogs everyday. I played with puppies and seniors, trained and untrained, friendly and not so friendly, and I loved every single dog! I am currently working on getting certified in dog training, as I have a lot of love for reactive or aggressive dogs, or even just high maintenance ones. That being said, I also love to cuddle up to sweet pups who only need affection! I recently graduated university and do not have any commitments other than doctors appointments I have on a regular basis, but these do not require me to be out of the house for more than two hours. I have experience with taking care of dogs in their own environments, I know how to interact with all types of dogs and can help with any kinds of commands that are being taught, can crate them, feed them, and clean up after them. I have rescued several feral cats and have cat sat for years and am prepared for any type of cat; one that needs nonstop cuddles or ones that stick to themselves.
About: My family has owned cats and dogs all my life and I have experience in taking care of both cats and dogs, bathing/grooming them, administering medicine, and walking them. Currently working full time Monday- Friday but have weekends off and lots of free time. I love animals and would love to use my weekend time to care for some furry babies. With an enormous love for all animals, I guarantee your pets will be taken care of with the upmost care, love, and respect. Whether on a business trip or vacation, I will send you updates every visit with cute pictures of your fur-babies. Would prefer to set up a meet time before scheduling the service in order to meet you and your pet(s).
About: Responsibility, patience, and affection. It's about ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of animals. My dogs and I are happy to care for them. D The same routine as my dogs, going out for a walk in the morning, arriving home to eat, rest, give them treats, and in the afternoon another outing to the park I take care of them as if they were my own with the same love, care and affection that I have for my dogs.

“Ally was so sweet and genuinely cared for my senior dog as if she were her own. She took the time to come by after work for a meet and greet to ensure all bases were covered and to meet my dog and learn her routine. She is so reliable and friendly and she made pet care super stress free. Will definitely book her again!!”
“Lorena was extremely attentive to our dog Radar. Even with the yard a little wet, she kept him clean and wiped down when he came back into the house. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Sierra was great!! She took great care of my pets and I had no worries leaving them in her care. She was respectful and sent updates every day. I would highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her!”
“Jessica was great to work with and so sweet!! She is super friendly and attentive and kept me updated with the dogs! Would trust her to watch our dogs anytime! Thank you Jessica!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Sweden
Brenda was wonderful with our two dogs! She made several drop-in visits while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She fed and watered them exactly as instructed, but I especially appreciated that she took the time to play fetch with them and let them enjoy some fresh air and time outside of their kennels. She even brought our packages inside the house for us, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were away. Brenda is kind, dependable, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! 🐾❤️
Jackeline was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She made sure they were well taken care of, played with them, took them outside, and gave them plenty of love and attention. She kept me updated with pictures and was always responsive, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being and made sure they had everything they needed. I really appreciate her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!
Emilee was great with the kitties! She kept me updated on how they were doing, which is great as a pet owner leaving your pets alone. I asked her pretty last minute for this service and she was very nice to fit into her birthday weekend! 🥹 Thank you so much!!

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.
