“Ms. Elyssa was amazing. She really went above and beyond for our furbabies. She made an additional trip because it was raining and Rosie didn’t want to go potty. She was always on time and provided updates and pictures. Thank you Elyssa for your care on our pets while we were gone!”
“I am truly grateful for Areial for cat sitting. My cat got locked in the closet and I message her if she can come at her earliest convenience, and she came so early to release my cat. In addition, my cats love her and feel very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her service!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups who need plenty of playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and lots of love and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I recently stepped away from the corporate world to take a break and enjoy a slower pace of life, which means I have very open and flexible availability! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. I’d love to spend some of that extra time caring for your pups! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring, plus a pool if your pup enjoys swimming! I also have three sweet, friendly dogs who love having new friends to play with. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Dorothy was kind, friendly, and so easy to work with! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the stay and sent me updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. She was very attentive and caring, and I really appreciated how communicative she was. I would definitely recommend Dorothy and would be happy to have her watch my dog again!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs through out my years from small chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I currently own a German Shepherd, Blue Heeler and two Great Pyrenees that I love with all my heart. I have experience with many breeds and also with training dogs. I can potty train them and teach them a few discipline skills like sit and stays and also teach them funny tricks. I have always loved animals and I want to use this opportunity to experience more with animals as a future veterinarian. I believe becoming a dog sitter will help me have more experience with getting to know different dogs. I honestly believe this will be a fun experience to meet new people and their beloved pets.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do, and they help make our home feel warm, loving, and welcoming for every pup. ✅ I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅ Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅ Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you’re away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.
“Elle is a fantastic sitter. Attentive, experienced, and great to work with. Our dog is nervous with most strangers and he warmed up so fast to Elle and we could tell he appreciates the drop ins. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for pet care.”
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
About: Hello! My name is Flor, caring and advocating for animals is my passion. Currently, my hubs and I live with 6 furrkids (2 senior Great Pyrs, and 4 cats) and foster for 3 different rescue groups when able! My experience ranges from caring for elderly dogs needing meds and fluids, cats of all ages, and puppies, to farm sitting over 30 chickens/guineas, goats, llamas, and pigs. If you have never legged a llama with a prosthesis, you have not lived! I also have experience in feeding and medicating neonatal kittens, as well as younger kittens that have been orphaned. I would love to be part of your pet's comfort while you are not home, and will always send a plethora of pictures to keep your mind at ease. Thanks for reading! And tell your animals I said hi :) Please be aware that anything over 25 miles of distance that is not overnight stay, will include gas/mileage charges. I work from home, which means I can easily step away from my laptop and either go check on your pets, or stay at your home and be attentive to their needs at all times. It all depends on what your and your pet's level of comfort and needs are. I want to know routines and habits you have established with your pets, to make sure the transition to being cared for by someone new is as smooth and not stressful as possible. For example: my furkids have breakfast and dinner times, scheduled walks, meds that need giving, as well as every night brushing to unwind. Each animal and owner are different though, and that is what I want to learn so we can all be safe and comfortable!
“Alice was great with Mae! It isn’t always easy letting people in your house when your away but she followed instructions, sent plenty of updates and pictures and even came over to meet us face to face!”

About: I’ve helped train your German shepherd’s and they are the sweetest babies ever. Very well behaved and I also have a lot of patience for dogs especially puppies. I have a senior dog and also know the extra care that comes with having one.

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.
