About: We love all animals I have owned dogs from birth to Senior age. I know what it takes to take care of a pet that is elderly, blind, has to be in diapers, to needing a special diet. I love puppies and can set up a nice size play pen in the living room so they have a safe place to play. I do have experience bottle feeding on a regular schedule. We have also owned reptiles to invertebrates and know how to care for these critters as well. If you are in need of a pet needing care that is a small critter like hamster, guinea pig, ferret, chinchilla, etc. or a reptile to snakes and scorpions my husband and I have experience with all these types of critters and more. We both love all animals. We do have a small dog and my dog is crate trained so that wouldn’t be an issue. I also volunteer in 4-H. We have chickens but they are in a fence and not free range. We have an outdoor cat that does not like being in the house at all. She adopted us so she does have a home outdoors and we feed her. Between the two of us we are home all day. We have decided to open up our availability to full time 7 days a week. Depending on the schedule you have set for your pet we try to replicate it as much as possible. To stay on their schedule so when you return home it does not throw your routine off. I provide the pets with a comfortable space if I need to separate my pet from yours mine can hang out in his favorite part of the house which is our bedroom and your pet would have the rest of the house to roam and play plus a fenced in backyard that they can run off Some energy. When your pet is outside we are as-well. we do not leave them unattended. We can definitely come up with a plan that you and I feel comfortable with to make your pet the most comfortable and happy until you get back. I know from experience how nerve racking it is leaving your pet when you have to and you can’t take them with you. I am open to frequent check in's so you can say hi, receive a picture through the Rover chat service, or call / FaceTime chats which ever method you prefer. If your pet is in the process of potty training but still has accidents we do not mind at all putting a pee pad down or going on potty breaks more frequently to help them.
About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends that have trusted me to do it. I had taken care of many types of dogs. I have also taken care of farm animals such as goats, cows, and chickens. I have a lot of time outside of school because I have a modified schedule and I am very flexible in my time and care. I have three dogs and one tortoise. I have also cared for cats at other homes and have had no issues at all in doing so.
“Elizabeth was great! She took great care of my babies(cats). Lucy was always happy to see her, Biggie was nervous but came around, and she even got pics of my 2 shy girls Emme and Ruby.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs since I can remember. I developed love an respect for animals from a young age. At home we had cocker spaniel, beagle, Shih Tzu, Siberian husky and mix breeds. I work from home in a very convenient schedule to take care of your furry baby’s needs. It’s always a pleasure make a doggy happy. No pet caring at home available at the moment. Maybe in the near future. Stay tuned. No pet caring at home available at the moment. Maybe in the near future. Stay tuned.
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).
“Leslye was so caring, courteous and timely with each visit. We enjoyed the photo updates and the love and compassion she showed for my 3 dogs and kitty. We know they were carefully cared for and attended to while we were gone. Thank you so much for your exceptional service. We will definitely be using you again!”
About: I lived with my roommates two big dogs in my time in undergrad. Also cared for my family dog Tango who was a black lab. So I have good experience on the process of caring for pets. I work during the day on weekdays but I am remote on Thursdays and Friday, so I would primarily be available all day Thursdays - Saturdays. Sundays I am available until 5:00 PM. I have a townhome close to many dog parks and dog friendly trails. My home is also spacious enough for a small-to-medium sized cage or a large dog bed. I promise that I will put measures in place to safety proof my home to accommodate your pet!
About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .
About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.

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.
