“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”
“Barbara is a nice responsible person who took such good care or our cat. I really think they both liked each other a lot after just the first meeting. And Barbara was fantastic in her Communication with us. Really could not ask for more. Thank you Barbara!.”
About: I’m an active, highly disciplined professional athlete with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your dog needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way. I treat every pet with the same level of focus and care I bring to my daily training. As a full time athlete managing a flexible training schedule, I have structured availability for midday, early morning, and evening walks. Dog walking fits seamlessly into my active daily routine. I pride myself on prompt communication, strict punctuality, and flexibility to meet your schedule so you always have peace of mind while you're away or at work. Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.
“Derek and Leslie took great care of my 2 cats while I was away on a trip. They stuck to a predetermined schedule and provided timely updates with photos. I would book them again!”
“Amy was so so patient with our Chili girl when she needed some extra time to warm up. We are so grateful for her & the patience & understanding of what our dog needs. Will absolutely be booking again! Thank you so much!”
About: I’m 21 years old and have had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, which makes me a great match for dogs who enjoy long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and very responsible, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs and cats, big and small, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, lots of attention, or simply someone patient and caring while you’re away, you can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I just moved here, and am missing my pets back at home, so I would love to care for your animals as if they were my own! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Since I’m freshly postgrad, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks or visits. I enjoy staying active, so spending time walking, playing with, and caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. When walking your pet, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure each walk is tailored to your dog or cat’s needs, whether they enjoy a relaxing stroll, extra exercise, or plenty of time to explore and sniff. I always pay close attention to my surroundings, use proper leash safety, and follow any instructions you provide about your pet’s routine or behavior. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will treat your pet like my own. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and positive walking experience that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“Michelle is the best! Our dog is always happy to see her, and enjoys the walks and potty breaks. Also, she is a great photographer and we enjoy seeing pictures from the days adventures. Thanks Michelle!”
About: I grew up with dogs, I'm 22, my last boy recently passed last year in the summer. Ever since I couldnt bring myself to get a new dog, not after him. But I do have a bunny that I rescued from a bunny shelter in the bay! I've showered, groomed, walked, etc dogs in the past. With my last boy, he had cancer so I guess you can say I have a bit of experience with following a oral medication administration schedule. I also did have a senior dog prior to him, that's all an experience. I had him when he was a pup so I did raise my boy and I think I did a pretty good job at it too. I currently work 3, irregular 12 hours shifts, the days are different every week. My school schedule is a bit more set. With that being said If I'm not working my 12 hr I'm available after 12 noon any day besides Saturday, currently. I do live with roommates in a spacious house with a yard. I don't think id be able to take in any doggies for boarding for long periods of time, maybe for the day but even then those are slim chances. For the times that I can, your pup will be surrounded with fun animals lovers that love to spoil and play with anything fluffy. We do have a cat and a bunny in the house but they are easy to keep away or be put in a different room of the house. I, personally, love a good walk on a trial and a good trip to the dog park. I'm all up for water activities, I don't mind washing your pup. Even a good stoll through the neighborhood and ending it with a movie and lots of cuddles. Indoor or outdoor, I can work with just about any activities or tasks.
“Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.”
“Lacee was excellent with our 4 chickens while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She came by every day to make sure their needs were met. I really appreciated how she followed our detailed instructions and checklists. She was very thorough in her care with them and made sure they were given their frozen treats and water during the hot summer days in her care. We hope to book Lacee in the future for another chicken care event! 🐤😊”
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Amanda was professional and punctual. My husband and I were in a pinch to find pet care and she was happy to commit even with such short notice. She was respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. There’s nothing better than having peace of mind knowing your fur babies will be well taken care of while out of town. We highly recommend Amanda for all of your pet sitting needs. ☺️”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
About: Animals are an important part of my life; from rabbits to horses and ducks to dogs. Currently, I live with a quirky, dapper, gentleman dog; and beautiful, liberated, lady cat. They have a great, lovingly antagonistic sibling relationship. My son's dog has epilepsy and some separation anxiety that requires extra gentle support at times. Our cat has an independent, outdoor space that doesn't affect my dander allergy. Because of that, I am able to provide only drop in care for cat(s) to service food, water and litter. My primary focus is to care for dogs. I enjoy discovering each personality. Please use this Promo Code for a discount on your first booking: BONNIH20661 I am available during the week for drop ins while going to school and working on independent projects. Ideally, I am available for housesitting and to keep your pet (and plants?) company and cared for in their familiar environment. I am respectful, detail oriented and have several years of experience with pets and household. Please disclose all special needs, habits and behaviors that I can expect from your pet so that I can be prepared to provide excellent care. Hope to meet with you and your pet at a Meet & Greet!
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!

Isabelle was loving and attentive and Flemming came back a happy pup! We are always training Flemming, so asked Isabelle to work on basic commands (heel, sit, stay and blanket), as well has ensure that Flemming was well behaved at her house, and with her elderly dog. Isabelle's training was excellent practice for Flemming - its good for her to listen to whoever is handling her, to behave at other houses and calmly greet other dogs. She also got a walk and some play time in the back yard!
Kerrigan is great! She took care of our 2 cats, who never make themselves seen when someone comes to the house, and even managed to send pictures!! She didn't have a problem doing a few extra tasks (asked ahead of time) and was very communicative. I think we found our new petsitter!!
Levi was absolutely wonderful to work with! So kind, friendly, and easygoing—we felt completely comfortable leaving all our pets in Levi’s care. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates of our pet family while we were traveling were such a thoughtful touch. Two thumbs up for Levi, who truly does an outstanding job. Highly recommend!

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.
