About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.
About: Hi! I have had dogs since I was born. Older, younger, smaller, larger, much larger. I have been dog watching since around age 14 or so. I currently have one chiweenie (13), my sweet baby, whom I had to leave for a bit because of schooling, though I tend to her weekly. I also volunteer at a nearby animal shelter to help out the understaffed staff with all of their animals as well! I am currently working part-time as of now, but I will be very open as soon as I begin to gain a clientele! Message me or request times, and I will be very happy to come sit your pups! I will mostly be offering client home sittings, as my home is on a non-fenced, multi-acre piece of land. Safety for your pup is very important to me, so we might take a trip to a nearby dog park if they are residing with me for an allotted time.
About: I have experience as a kennel technician, a pet sitter, and a groomer and my experience has provided me with the utmost qualification to provide for pets of all kinds. Having met pets with all kinds of quirks and preferences, I understand that all pets need specified care catering to their unique needs. I am a student with a very flexible schedule and have the ability to make time for your needs. Making time for your pets will be no problem, and I can assure that I am eligible to bend my schedule to your specifications. Caring for each pet will look different, and having information on your pet and their preferences will make catering to them much easier. I will always be sure to provide the utmost care to your pet and accommodate all of their needs, adjusting to their preferences.
“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”

About: I've had a Yorkie Terrier Mix (Tico) since I was about eight years old and would consistently take care of him while home. My tasks consist of frequent walks to ensure fitness, meals twice a day, a snack or two if he's being good, and making sure he looks handsome and is clean. I would also frequently take care of local friends pets and homes while away on vacation! I grew up taking of my dog Tico since I was about 8 years old and have taken up that responsibility since then! Ever since moving away I’ve missed getting to spend time with furbabies! If hired for services, I will ensure that I will take care of your home and pet as I would mine.

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.
