“Brittany was exceptional! You can tell she loves animals. I will definitely reach out to her again when I travel. Thank you from Lisa, Jezzy and Merri Margaret”
“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”
“I was really pleased with Jenna. I could tell my bunny got really comfortable especially in the last pic she sent me when Pepper was asking her for treats! She followed all of my instructions to a T. She arrived for her visits promptly and sent me a Rover card with pics every time which I appreciated. When I came home Pepper was doing great. Thanks Jenna!”
“Savannah made it easy for us to be on vacation without worrying about our little goobers at home! She is incredibly knowledgeable, with a great temperament and personality. 10000% will book again and I greatly appreciate her work! 0 complaints”
“Melissa has been amazing letting out our two dogs multiple times during the week! She has cleaned them off when they are muddy after a rainy day and cleaned up when one of our dogs was naughty and chewed up a shoe. She is so dependable and reliable. Thank you!”
About: I have been a dog mom to my fur baby since March 2020. Vader, my dog, was adopted from he shelter and did not have much home training and my husband and I trained him to be the well behaved dog he is now. Friends of mine have relied on me in the past to let their dogs out and feed them while being busy with other obligations. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them. During the week I work long days. 7am-4pm. I am an active duty soldier but majority of weekends I am completely free to pet sit, board, or walk/ feed fur babies. I am also avialable on the weekdays at night ( after 5pm) and super early in the morning ( before 6:30 am) to feed/ walk. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with my 3 yr old dog. There is a dog park on the property of my apartment complex with plenty of area to roam and play. I can crate your dogs at night or during the daytime if that is something you prefer or they need in order to feel comfortable. My dog is sweet and friendly and would be a perfect playmate during your pet's stay. I am a dual military spouse and my husband is away for military training for the next couple months so as I am taken good care of your fur baby they will be keeping me company as well!! Look forward to loving and caring for your fur babies as if they were my own!!!
About: I’ve pet sit for family, and friends since I was in early highschool - working with all sorts of animals! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc. I also previously have worked at a dog training facility with many different dog breeds/temperaments. I have two sweet kitties at home myself, and I love to help people out and make their day to day easier, which is why I’m on Rover! I currently am a teacher full time, but I have availability on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and full availability on weekends to help with your pet! I can do a drop in, feedings, walks, or playtime! I have experience with crating dogs, dog walking, delivering medicine, and more! I personally do not bring other pets to my home, but I can always walk your pet around your neighborhood, take them to the park, etc!
About: I’m a dependable, attentive pet lover who treats every dog like they’re part of my own family, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and personalized care based on their unique needs. Whether we’re out on a walk or they’re staying in my home, you can count on regular updates, a safe and comfortable environment, and lots of love while you’re away. On weekends and on Fridays, I am fully available to go for long walks, visits to the park, and any of your pet's other needs! With pets of my own, I understand how hard it can be to find someone you trust. I am reliable and trustworthy, and love caring for dogs.
About: I’m a kind hearted soul, always looking for ways to keep a pup happy. I pay attention to detail and I’m very familiar with taking care of dogs, especially ones that like to have fun. Back home, I have a 5 year old golden doodle that I’ve had since a puppy. I worked with her to potty train, and with basic training as well. I’m currently at home most of the day. I have full availability right now, and flexible availability during the weekends. Please reach out. Thank you! I am one of the sole caretakers of my dog at home. I take her out for potty breakers, feed her, and play with her.
About: I have taken care of my family dog since I was five years old and I have been dog walking on and off for seven years. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but am available for early morning walks or walks after 5pm. I am also available for weekend walks. When walking dogs, safety is my first priority. If it is listed that a dog doesn't do well with other dogs, I will walk to the other side of the street. In general, I will try to have some space from other dogs in case the other dog isn't friendly.
“Ashley is not only an excellent pet-sitter, we think she is also an excellent dog-whisperer! Our drama queen dog decided she was so sad that we left her, she would not leave our bed for dinner or for a potty break. But Ashley finally managed to coax her from the bed (with the assistance of a treat or three) and they’ve become fast friends! Ashley even called us to keep us up to date on the progress. We were so happy with the care she gave our dog AND our cat, who usually never shows herself to other sitters. The cat actually hung out with Ashley for a few minutes, which is amazing! We give Ashley 5 stars!!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’m a fun-loving, dependable dog walker who truly believes every dog deserves plenty of love, attention, and adventure. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready to explore or prefers a leisurely stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I’m happy to meet them wherever they’re at! I love getting outside, staying active, and making sure every walk feels like the highlight of your dog’s day. You can expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, positive attention, and of course, lots of happy tail wags! 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos along the way, so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time. I’m currently waiting to start my job but it takes a large amount of paper work and have plenty of time for the next month. Once I start working I’ll be able to also do it on my day off. My yard is large and I have a friendly dog who loves to play. My neighborhood is also very shaded so dogs are able to take nice shaded walks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets for family and friends over the years — feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a cat at home, so I’m experienced with multi-pet households and understand how to keep animals calm and happy in different situations. I work part time, but have been able to easily care for my dog, as my hours aren’t for very long. Pets have always been a central part of my daily life, so caring for your dog will fit seamlessly into my routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. Having grown up with dogs, I know how to read their body language, recognize signs of stress or illness, and respond calmly in unexpected situations. I keep a secure, pet-friendly environment and always follow the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medications, or routines. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a doggy daycare. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities through daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. This position strengthened my customer service experience, so I understand the importance of communication and keeping parents updated. Although I left the daycare to return to school, my passion for dogs never went away. Becoming a Rover sitter allows me to continue doing what I enjoy most. I strive to make any animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whatever your pup needs, I'd love to help! Thank you <3 I am currently working a full time job and am only available for your needs on the weekends, starting with Fridays at 4pm and ending on Sundays. These accommodations could be arranged if my work schedule aligns and there is a discussion had beforehand. If earlier arrangements are needed for Friday, I could offer a drop in visit. Just be aware that I am not available for uninterrupted house sitting until 4pm. Thank you. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I provide reliable, loving care and would keep up with your pet's normal routine. regular updates with photos will be provided at your request.
About: I have cared for animals for a little over 6 years. Friends and family trust me with their pets because I treat them as if they are family, because honestly they are! I make sure they are taken care of as if they were my own 🐾 I schedule full time pet care services. Caring for animals is my full-time job! I would be able to schedule what ever services are being requested with flexibility and good amount of availability. I would adhere to your current "house rules". If you allow sleeping in the bed, crate training, needing fetch exercises, feeding schedules, medication schedules, etc. I prefer to dog sit in your home, because I find that animals are more comfortable in their own setting.
“Samantha is amazing as always, our cat Chimney loves her so much that he greets her at the door. Will always be using her since our furbabies have gotten used to her and she loves them as much as my partner and I.”
“Todd was great! This was our first experience with a drop in or Rover in general and we are super happy we gave it a chance. Todd showed us just how easy it is to have a reliable person swing in for our fur babies when we can’t be there. The dogs LOVED him! We will absolutely utilize Todd & Gail again”

Shanina took excellent care of my dog, Cherish. She was very attentive, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made sure all of Cherish’s needs were met. I really appreciated the communication and the level of care she provided, it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Cherish was comfortable and well taken care of, which means everything to me. I would absolutely book with Shanina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

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.
