“Brooke was great! My mother had passed away, on a Tuesday, funeral on Thursday ( was out of town), and Brooke was an angel to check up on the dogs on such short notice. Highly recommend Brooke.”
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care for pets of all ages! I treat every animal like family—playtime, cuddles, and safety always come first! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs like medications or grooming. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure every pet feels cared for and secure. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority, every single day. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a secure space with plenty of toys, supervised playtime, and comfy resting areas. When in a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s routine, keep things tidy, and ensure the pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or snuggles—I give them all the love and attention they deserve
About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter/walker who treats every pet like family. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a quiet cuddle, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always focused on safety, comfort, and joy. From daily walks and playtime to medication and meal routines, I make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. With experience in caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide a calm, confident presence you (and your pet) can trust. My goal is to make every visit or walk feel like a little burst of happiness for your pet. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐾 I’m currently a part-time student studying Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and I also work as a bartender. While I balance both school and work, I maintain a flexible schedule and am able to adjust my availability as needed. I’m highly organized and manage my time well, which allows me to stay committed and dependable in all my responsibilities. I always treat animals in my home with love, patience, and respect. Whether it’s my own pets or ones I’m caring for, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. With my experience at the shelter, working for a groomer, and raising my own pets, I’ve learned how to understand their needs and provide a calm, nurturing environment. Giving animals the attention, care, and affection they deserve is something I take to heart every day.
About: I am a 31-year-old cat and dog lover. I grew up with a Pomeranian who I absolutely adored, and dogs always brighten my day. Three years ago, I adopted an adorable kitten, Cora, who follows me around all day, and I have officially become a crazy cat lady. I will love your cat as much as my own. I grew up caring for my family's Pomeranian from the time I was 13, and I have hands-on experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I am very responsible, and safety is my number one priority. Whether you need dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, daily photos, or just someone to hang out with your pets, I can help! I have a very flexible schedule and am free any time of day to fit into your routine. If you are out of town, I would also be happy to water your plants, get the mail, or do anything else you might need - just ask! I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet at home while you're away, and would be happy to meet with you before booking to make sure that I connect well with both you and your pet. I am currently taking a career break, so I am free mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because of this, I have plenty of time to give your pets all the attention and care they need! Since I offer drop-in visits and dog walks, I care for pets right in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. When I visit, I stick closely to your pet's routine: whether that means heading out for a great walk, making sure they have fresh food and water, engaging in playtime, or just hanging out and giving them plenty of love and cuddles. For cats, I'll happily scoop the litter box, keep them company, and make sure they feel pampered. Safety is my top priority, so I am hyper-aware to make sure doors, gates, and windows are completely secure every time I come and go. I will keep them safe and closely monitored during outdoor time, making sure they always return home secure and happy after their walk. You'll also receive daily photo updates during every visit, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!
About: Growing up we always had dogs in our home. I have experience caring for both small, large, and giant breeds. I have a giant breed puppy of my own, which I adore. I walk my own dog and my parent's dogs everyday. I make sure they get their energy out. A tired dog is a happy dog! Currently, my lunch time schedule for visits is full. I am mainly available in the early morning or evenings during the week. During the weekend, I can take care of your dog at any time. If boarding or doggy daycare, I have a fenced in yard at my house your pet could play in. I have toys for fetch and other activities for mental stimulation. I am also used to walking multiple dogs at once, if you have several pets that need exercised! I always have water available for dogs during play time and after walks. I'm available almost every weekend. During the week I currently only have flexibility at in the early morning or in the evening time. However, my husband works from home and we can always try to tag-team to meet your schedule's needs. I have always loved animals! Growing up we had many different kinds. I have been on Rover for a few years (taking some time off for school) but I have enjoyed getting to meet and take care of other's pets. I want to provide a safe and fun experience for each pet.
“Tiffany did great with our three dogs. It was a last minute request, and one of our dogs started experiencing health issues after we booked. I let her know this expecting she’d wanting to cancel, but she said she didn’t mind and helped without hesitation. We will definitely be using her moving forward!”
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
“Clare was very easy to work with and reliable. She took great care of our kitties, which included having to come twice daily and giving oral medication to one of them. We will definitely be booking her again, and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“This was my first time using Elisabeth and I am very satisfied with her services! She was very attentive and informative in the notes and made me feel calm and at ease when she cared for my fur babies. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for the past 10 years, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I recently lost my 2 beloved dogs after nearly a decade together, which inspired me to sign up as a volunteer at my local animal shelter so I can continue spending time caring for dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I'd want for my own. I work weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but I'm available before and after work every day, as well as all evenings and weekends. I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of love, attention, and quality care. I can also step away from work, on my lunch break, depending on the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My husband and I own our home. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and will always provide close supervision, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel right at home. I can also crate your pup if needed!
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.
“Proximity for drop-ins were very important to us, and Allison just so happened to be very close to where we live. She did an awesome job updating us while she was taking care of all our animals. We look forward to using her services again in the near future!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. I’ve cared for animals with tumor-induced epilepsy, blastomycosis, diabetes, recovery from surgery, etc. In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. I work a part-time position that requires Saturday evenings and at least one 8 hour shift in the morning through the week. Other than that, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever capacity necessary. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
About: I only watch one dog at a time (or a set of "sibling" dogs.) I am a stay-at-home mom so I am home most of the time. I can give your doggo all the attention they need. I have an XL crate if needed but if your dog isn't comfortable with a crate that's fine too. I've taken care of dogs really for as long as I can remember. I had a great dane as a teenager so big dogs are no problem. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom so I am home a most of the time, never gone for long. I am available seven days a week. I have a large fenced in yard that doggies love! I only take one dog at a time or two "sibling" dogs so that everyone can get along and hang out together. I want dogs to feel welcome in my home. I have two cats that are very used to dogs. I have a very large dog kennel to keep your dog safe when I am out and about and at night but if your dog isn't comfortable with a kennel that's fine too.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nicholson
Mariah took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She was originally scheduled to take special care for Sancho, but when Rio unexpectedly needed medication and extra attention as well, she was incredibly flexible and happily adapted to his new care routine. Both cats received their medications exactly as instructed, including insulin injections and oral medications. Mariah was very attentive, careful, and compassionate throughout every visit. We especially appreciated the detailed visit summaries and photos she sent each day. She kept us informed and reassured that our boys were doing well. Knowing our cats were in such capable and caring hands gave us true peace of mind during our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Mariah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter.

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.
