About: As a devoted dog mom and remote professional, I know the importance of creating a loving, structured environment for pets. My daily routine includes feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for my own pup—who’s happy to share her cozy space with new friends. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and will care for your pet with the same thoughtfulness and affection I give my own. Since I work from home most of the time, I’m able to offer flexible care throughout the day. Whether it’s boarding, playtime, or check-ins, I’ll be there to ensure your pet feels safe, engaged, and loved. Your pet’s needs won’t just fit into my routine—they’ll help shape it. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home shared with my sweet and social dog. The space is clean and comfortable, with plenty of room to rest or play. I closely follow your pet’s care instructions and am happy to crate if needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities—because I know that peace of mind for you starts with a safe, happy pet.
“Abigail was a wonderful Petsitter! She was so communicative and easy to work with. I felt very reassured that my cat was in good hands! I would have no hesitation booking her again.”
“Absolutely fantastic Petsit!! Seth took care of my pup recovering from surgery on 3 legs. He asked the right questions and was genuinely interested in the comfort and care of our little boy!! Very thankful and I will be booking him again!”
“Megan was wonderful! I’m a helicopter Mama and she made me feel as ease. Megan sent me pics and updates to reassure they were ok. I will definitely book Megan again! :)”
“Carole is by far the best sitter! I truly would not want anyone else to watch my kitty cats! 🐈 She genuinely cares and it shows in every interaction she has with them. I am so lucky that we have Carole!! 😻”
“Sonia treated our cats very well! She arrived on time, made sure they ate, and played with them as we had requested. No complaints, and we would absolutely have her catsit for us again!”
About: Hi! My name is Natasha (formally), but I go by Natalie or Nat. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old alongside working in a veterinary hospital. I am willing to administer medications if need be and am happy to spend as much time with your furry friend as necessary! Let me know how I can help you help them. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to prioritize each pet’s individual needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, or weekend care. I enjoy building a consistent routine for the pets I care for so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines that help pets feel at ease. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space by keeping everything clean and secure, providing regular updates and photos, and ensuring their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.
About: I've loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for our family dog for over 15 years, from playful puppy years through his senior days. I'm hands-on and energetic — happy to run, wrestle, and get down and dirty when a dog wants to play hard, but just as ready to offer calm cuddles and gentle care when that's what they need. Your dog will get attentive, affectionate attention and a sitter who genuinely treats them like family. My wife and I both telework full time from home, which means someone is almost always around, so we're able to consistently keep a close eye on your dog throughout the entire day without ever leaving them alone for long stretches. In my home, pets have a comfortable, low-stress environment to settle into. I live in an end-unit townhouse with a private backyard, so they have a quiet, distraction-free space to lounge in the sun, sniff around, and relax. I love spending time with the pets in my care — whether that's joining them outside, playing, or a bit of gentle wrestling and roughhousing for the ones who enjoy it. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never an issue. If your pet has a lot of energy to burn, I'm happy to take them on long walks or even a run to keep them happy and tired out. I'm also a big believer in routine. I like to keep my own day structured, which makes it easy for me to fold your pet's feeding, walk, potty, and rest schedule right into mine so they feel secure and their normal rhythm stays intact. Above all, I want every pet to feel safe, engaged, and at home while they're with me.
About: As someone who has grown up with dogs since the age of 3, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by the love and energy of pets. Caring for them has always been second nature to me, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Every dog has its own personality and needs, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention they’d get from you. ❤️ I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible and can easily adjust to your schedule needs, whether it’s extra walks, playtime, or just making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I’m here to give them all the love they deserve while you’re away. I will focus on keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible when caring for your pets. I will ensure to stick to their routine whether it’s meals, walks, or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I want your pet to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Over the past 7 years I’ve lived with two dogs and two cats with occasional Forster Care for dogs. Unfortunately, I don’t have pet of my own at the moment - hence, looking to share some love when taking care of your pets! I’m currently on a hybrid work schedule, allowing me to have flexibility with your pup’s needs for daily routine as well as drop off/pick up times! On weekend, we typically stay around the area. No pets of my own at the moment, means all the love and care will be dedicated to your fur baby! We don’t have furniture restrictions unless you wish me to keep your pup off the furniture. Using single flight of stairs to get outside.
“Andrea was amazing for our pups first time having a dog walker. She stayed over the time to ensure that all of her bathroom needs were met and was great at communicating with us”
“I highly recommend Hue Man! From the start, she was very attentive, making sure all of my pups routines were followed. She was very punctual, communicated clearly, and treated my pups like her own. I will definitely be booking again!"”
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Teju was very caring and responding when she took care of Sola. She made a pre-visit to make herself familiar to my dog and communicated so closely. Thank you, Teju, for your kind care!”
“Becky is great to work with and does a great job with coordination, planning and of course care of the pets. I hope to call on Becky again for our next trip away. I would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and home. Thanks again Becky.”
“Alexis is great! She is extremely responsive and goes above and beyond when watching your pet. She made my vacation so much better, just knowing my cat was in her hands. She truly treats them as if they are her own! Definitely recommend Alexis, especially for first time Rover users. She was really helpful and patient while I figured out how to use the app!”

Becky took wonderful care of Margaret while we were away. She came every day right when she was supposed to, made sure Margaret was fed, and even brushed her. She also sent us pictures every day, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Before long, it was pretty clear Margaret was very comfortable with her. We’d absolutely trust Becky to take care of her again.
Jessica is the most trust worthy and patient sitter. She is so gentle with our cats and took extra care with our little girl who is nervous around people, and will scratch. Jessica is so good, our girl now wants to nuzzle and cuddle her whenever she sees her! Jessica takes time to connect with your pets and care for them as if they were her own. Truly the best sitter, I will be booking her as long as she will let me!
Hannah took excellent care of both of our dogs, especially the older one whom she made a second trip to make sure that he was eating his meals. In addition to cleaning up after them and providing lots of snuggles with our doggos, she communicated daily and took excellent photos. Highly recommend!
Laleh took excellent care of our two cats while we were away! It gave us peace of mind to be able to leave our cats in our home where they are most comfortable and have her check in on them daily. She was communicative, always on time, and provided detailed photos and descriptions of her visits. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I would highly recommend Michelle for any pet sitting needs! She is so sweet and communicative throughout her visits! I received lots of pictures and updates, and I can clearly tell my pup is very happy with her :) I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakton 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 sitter’s 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 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.

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.
