“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”
“Ashley is kind, patient, and communicates frequently. I loved receiving the photos. Thank you for making Ramen feel comfortable - he warmed up to you without me being around for this first drop-in day. Ramen can’t wait to hang out with you again :).”
About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.
About: I would love to give my love and time to your fur babies while your away! I have been pet and house sitting for over 26 years. I used to work at a pet store and I have a lot of experience with dogs and animals of all sizes and needs. I use a loving but firm and peaceful approach with training. My German Shepherd named Ravin was my amazing companion for 13 years and I enjoyed going on adventures to find sticks, playing ball, tug of war and just snuggling and getting love. I'd love to do the same for your fur baby. I am currently working remotely part time so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am an early bird so I always have time for play, care and love in the mornings. I usually have a couple appointments or errands to run during the day so I am typically in and out. I try not to be gone more than 4 hours during the day, once in a while it may take me a little longer. I like to be home for the day (in your home) around dinner time. That gives us lots of time for play and snuggles. A typical day for a Rover stay with me may look like this: Waking up and taking care of morning care needs, bathroom/breakfast. Getting lots of snuggles and playing while I drink my coffee and check my emails. If your pet likes to play outside, spending a half hour to an hour outside with whatever activities they enjoy. At that point I may be in and out of the house for a few hours running errands or going to appointments. I'll pop back in when I can for potty breaks, treats and love. I plan on being back to your home before dinner time. Then we will do dinner together, play and hang out. There will be unlimited opportunities for snuggling and love and play in the evening. If you've asked that I do overnight stays, I will do my best to keep your normal routine the same for your pets while you're gone. If your pet usually sleeps on the bed with you, that's okay with me too. If they sleep in their crate with a favorite toy and listen to an audible book at night, we will do that too! :) I want your pet to feel as comfortable and loved while your gone as possible.
About: I currently have a small dog with diabetes and need to give her insulin every 12 hours. Both of our babies have a health care plan with our veterinarian and all vaccinations are up to date. They both love taking walks in the park and riding in the car. My other dogs previous to these were 15 years old plus. I love dogs and dogs seem to love me too. I have a fenced in back yard and a large house. Our babies normally have run of the entire house. I would love to work in the Humane Society although, I would want to take them all home with me. It also saddens me to see commercials with the neglected animals and the conditions that they are subjected to. I wish that I could save all of the dogs that are neglected. I have taken care of dogs since I was thirteen years old. I have also taken care of friends dogs when they are gone on vacation. I will be retired and will have time to spend with the dogs that I will be caring for.
“Christine & Bradley were incredible! They watched our two dogs while we were away for the holidays and gave us such peace of mind. Our older dog does best at home and it was nice to know he was comfortable while we were away. We got updates every day. So thankful! Definitely recommend!”
“Alise was very punctual and attentive. She made sure to spend quality time with both cats and took care of the one’s medicine for me. She was able to accommodate my last minute request for a sitter. I would gladly book her again!”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her! She is super attentive to your fur babies & treats them as her own! She took my Leo on a walk & sent me the best check-in pictures! She did an 11/10 job & i truly suggest you book with her in the future! Thank you so much Alexis for being super kind, and helpful🫶”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for years on end and I’m pretty free no matter what! Big dogs small dogs I’ve dealt with them all! I don’t work I’m a disabled artist that needs to put up stuff I usually dog sit for neighbors dog but not for long I have a lot of experience to take care of pets including dogs and cats because of my work and my home I make sure they are all doing good and listening to every introductions and also I love hanging around all animals
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.
“Jamie did great with the initial drop in with my dogs! One of them can be people selective and reactive, but she warmed up to Jamie really quickly. Jamie sent multiple videos and photos and was very quick to communicate. Excited to have her do kore drop ins in the future!”
About: I'm new to professional pet sitting, but caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I bring calm energy that animals warm up to quickly. I have a part time position at petco. I've enjoyed my work with clients thusfar and would prefer to take on more clients as a full time option. I might not be the best to describe this but i am a pushover and believe all the fluff balls deserve to be cuddled up.
About: I love all cats and dogs and will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I've cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes for about 15 years. I have cared for cat approx 10 years. My availability is flexible, but changes occasionally due to other jobs. I will make it as easy as possible for us to communicate about your needs! I will enjoy long walks and playtime with your animals. I make sure he or she gets plenty of play or rest, depending on what is needed. I will give your dog as much attention and exercise as they need and follow any instructions you give me regarding your animal's care. If an overnight stay is needed, I will be a respectful and clean guest in your home. I look forward to meeting your furry friends!!
“Elise was amazing with our dogs when we left for our wedding. She was on top of communication and made sure she left them happy and well taken care of. Would recommend for future visits!”
About: I have taken care of puppies and senior pets since I was 7. What sets me apart is my ability to personalize care to each pet’s unique requirements. For puppies, I offer early training and socialization, helping them build good habits from the start. With senior pets, I focus on comfort and mobility, providing extra attention to their health needs and ensuring a calm, safe environment. My patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals ensure that every pet in my care receives personalized and compassionate attention. I currently go to Eastern Michigan University and work during the weekends so I have plenty of time after class to take care of your pups! Im available weekdays Monday through Thursday. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. This includes feeding, exercising, and providing companionship. I ensure their environment is clean, engaging, and secure, following instructions given from the pet owner. Regular updates and communication with the client will be offered to ensure peace of mind for both the pet and the owner.
About: I've been around/taking care of animals my whole life. Taking care of pets is something that makes me so happy! I would love the opportunity to care for yours too. Available evenings Monday through Friday. I will absolutely be available after 5 pm but my schedule varies and may be available earlier in the later mid-to-late afternoon. Available Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - evening hours. I currently live in an apartment with 2 male cats who are very playful and freindly. However, I am only available to travel to your home for drop-in services or scheduled care.
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was old enough to remember. I grew up with 2 shih tzu's at home, and they were my fiercest protectors. I have taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I love caring for dogs (every size and breed!). I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether we’re out for a long walk or curled up on the couch, I promise to treat your pup with the same love and devotion I would give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing they aren't just being watched—they’re being pampered, played with, and truly cared for. I’m currently working full-time (9 am-5 pm) Monday-Friday, so I would be perfect for a weekend or long weekend coverage. I am available Fridays after 4:30, and typically all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also open to staying during the weekdays as long as your pet does not need to be taken out in the middle of the day. I can have pets in my apartment so I am available for boarding! And, I would be more than happy to do home-stays or quick drop-ins for walks and feeding!
About: I've been around dogs, cats, and some level of farm animals for most of my life, pet sitting as a service is new for me, although I have extensive practice in animal care. Simply put, I've taken care of animals long enough to know that mane and tail is an amazing conditioner and shampoo combo. I am currently seeking employment and searching for work with services such as rover, my schedule fluctuates however I would consider myself on call, Monday to Sunday any time unless otherwise specified, im here for you and your pets. Our home is a finely tuned balance of two cats and two huskies, I have worked extensively to care for and train both animals to live harmoniously together. My goal is to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and preferably sleepy by the time your best friends are back in your arms, for the huskies we often walk them anywhere from 3 to 5 miles, and upwards of 10 miles on some days on safe, pre walked and inspected routes to ensure your pets saftey

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.
