About: Iâve taken care of dogs since I was 16. Iâve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriendâs dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like theyâre part of the family. I follow the ownerâs normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. Iâm patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.
About: I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. I have experience providing care for all sorts of animals from dogs and cats to hawks and lizards! I have relatively open availability on week days and weekends. I am pretty flexible with timing since I work for myself. Let me know what you need and we can make it happen! I will need access to your home and instructions on the required care for each pet. I am happy to play with dogs in a fenced in yard, or take them on a leashed walk.
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
âAaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didnât mind my dogsâ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. Heâs an absolute delight; I canât recommend him enough!â

About: I have a life time of experience. I grew up helping my mom take care of peoples animals. Farm animals, birds, dogs, cats. A special skill of mine is training dogs. I currently work part time Monday-Friday, that gives me the ability to have a bunch of playtime on the weekends. I will also be available weekdays after 5:30 I have a small fenced in yard, and land to explorer weather your dog is off leash or on leash there is a place to play for everyone. I have crates incase your dog needs a break/nap. I also have baby gates to ensure everyone is safe in my care.
âMakenzie is awesome - my normally anxious and wary dog warmed right up to her. She was punctual, communicative, and friendly. I will definitely be using Makenzie again!â

About: I've had a number of pets throughout my life that I have taken care of including dogs of all sizes. I hold a special place in my heart for pitbulls as my sweetest girl was a pittie mix. I'm also used to anxious animals and can manage a pet who doesn't appreciate human contact very much. I'm currently in graduate school, looking for work over the summer and hopefully continuing into weekends and evenings once classes begin again. I work part time in senior care. I believe every animal deserves a kind and loving home, regardless or species, breed, or temperament. I approach every animal with respect for their personal space but will happily pet and play with the ones who are comfortable.
âBetsy was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request and followed directions wonderfully! My pup can be a little shy/anxious around new people but I know he appreciated the company too! Thanks so much!â

âErin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.â

âYujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and heâs been amazing. Heâs very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. Heâs truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while Iâm working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the dayâplaying with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!â

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
