About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve helped care for family pets, as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and following any special routines your pet may have. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m currently working full time and my hours are 6:45-2:45. I have a decent amount of off time in my afternoon where i’d love to take care of animals! I am also completely available on the weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or staying in your home, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I will always respect your home, keep a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: i’ve taken care of animals for about 8 years now. i have also had at least 1 dog and cat for my entire life. i have 3 dogs and a cat myself (including a 16 year old beagle)!! i love animals soso much and think they deserve the absolute best from everyone. i often drive around handing out pet supplies to homeless with animals as well. im currently part time in school and work! i usually have class 8am-1pm but have an awkward break until work at 4pm-11pm. on my off days i am completely available and always looking for stuff to do! i have a fenced in yard for my 3 dogs and keep my cat inside. i often take one of the dogs to run errands with me and explore for some enrichment and fun! i don’t take my elderly dog (16) out too much due to his lipomas (fat tumors- typical for beagles) interfering with his hip/leg movement during long walks. he does get plenty of attention and fun at home though!
“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Lorrin was great with our 3 kitties (+ chickens and goldfish 😄) while we were gone, I’m sure they enjoyed all the love and attention she gave them each visit and she communicated perfectly each day with lots of photos and updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m 27 and have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.
“Ariana was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly experienced. Communication was great throughout the entire booking, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. She also provided helpful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my pet was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the minute I could drive. All kinds not just dogs, (even though they’re my favorite!). I will care for your babies as if they were mine! People would describe me as a very outgoing, hardworking, reliable person. I also now own a business for pet care and cleaning! Licensed & Insured! ✨DD’s Cleaning & Care Co. Llc✨ I’m available most of the time if you let know in advance! I clean houses some days ,so occasionally I will be gone for 4-6 hours depending on my schedule that week. Message me and check! I care for dogs only in your home. I can bathe, feed, give medicine, walk and play with them in any environment (fence or no fence, apartment, etc.).
About: My first pet was a cat growing up, and later on I helped take care of my family’s Golden Retriever and got to watch him grow up. I’ve also pet sat through Trusted House Sitters in places like Chicago and Boston, caring for dogs in their own homes. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I always enjoy getting outside, so spending time walking and caring for pets is the perfect break from my desk. When pet sitting, I always treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routine closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

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.
