About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

About: Hi! I'm Nate, and if you've got a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs a buddy, or a pup who just wants a solid hang — you've found the right human. I didn't just grow up around animals — I grew up with them. We're talking dogs, cats, birds, and full-on farm animals. At any given point in my childhood, our place was basically a petting zoo with a roof. I've hand-fed, cleaned up after, played with, and genuinely loved more species than most people have on their bucket list. These days I'm a proud dog owner myself, and I've also fostered for multiple rescues and organizations — including the Puerto Rico Dog Fund and Many Miles from Home Animal Shelter — so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your fur baby. What does all of that experience mean for your pup? It means I'm calm in chaos, patient with personalities, and I actually enjoy watching animals just... be themselves. Whether your dog is a zoomies-at-6am type or a "I will sniff this one blade of grass for 45 seconds" type — I'm here for all of it. My goal is simple: to be the person your dog loses their mind over when they hear my car pull up. Walks, hangouts, check-ins — whatever your pet needs, I bring the energy, the patience, and the genuine love of animals to back it up. Your furry friend won't just be in good hands. They'll be having the time of their life. 🐕 I work from home, so your pet gets real quality time — not just a quick pop-in between meetings! I'm also an early riser, so mornings mean walks, fresh air, and getting those zoomies out before most people even hit snooze. Whether I'm at your place or mine, I follow your rules — feeding schedules, routines, preferred spots on the couch, all of it. You know your pet best and I'm here to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. If your pet stays with me, they'll have a fully fenced backyard to roam and my 4-year-old smaller German Shepherd to show them the ropes — she's basically the ultimate icebreaker.

About: Welcome to Floppy Paws' Playground. Where your dog’s happiness comes first. With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I’ve created a safe, enriching environment where your pup can play, explore, and feel right at home. At Floppy Paws' Playground, dogs enjoy structured playtime with toys, ropes, and games of fetch, as well as plenty of outdoor time to run, sniff, and socialize. Whether your dog loves high energy activities or prefers a slower pace, I tailor each day to meet their individual needs. My commitment to care goes beyond play. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. I'm readily available throughout the day and evening for updates or questions, ensuring peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I look forward to welcoming your dog to Floppy Paws' Playground, where fun meets thoughtful, professional care. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With full-time availability, I’m able to dedicate my entire day to providing consistent and attentive care for the pets I look after. My schedule is flexible, so whether it's early morning feedings, midday play sessions, or evening check-ins, I’m always able to meet your pet's needs at any time. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining consistency with their established routines to ensure a smooth and stress free experience. I adhere to specific instructions for feeding, administering medications, and exercise, while also offering companionship and mental stimulation as needed. In addition to pet care, I take pride in maintaining a clean and tidy environment. This includes tasks such as cleaning litter boxes, ensuring pet areas are organized, and leaving the home in the same condition it was found. I understand the importance of clear communication, so I provide regular updates and can easily be reached for any questions or concerns throughout the duration of the pet care service.

I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

Anna was absolutely wonderful with Toby! She came twice a day while we were away, fed him his wet food, and stayed for the full 30 minutes to keep him company. Toby meowed, and screamed at Anna pretty much the entire time. I can only assume he had many important things to tell her about the state of the household while we were gone. Despite Toby's extensive vocal complaints, Anna was incredibly patient, sweet, and attentive with him. Knowing she was spending actual time with him rather than just giving him food gave us so much peace of mind. Anna was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Toby. We came home to a happy, well cared for and still very opinionated cat. I would absolutely book Anna again and highly recommend her!

Sydney has been wonderful since my original reach-out. Promptly responsive, polite, and easy to work with. She has come over three times now to meet my anxious/nervous little fella and has been great with him! She is thoughtful and patient with him being a bit nervous, follows my guidance for success with my pups, and has helped to ease my anxieties with text check-ins and pictures. Because of her thoughtful interactions, I'm confident that my fella will be comfortable with her being part of his circle of trust. I'm so grateful for Sydney!

Myka has gone above and beyond with keeping me updated and informed of any issues or conditions that need addressed. Athena is very comfortable around Myka, which is quite rare for Athena. Myka comes in with a quiet confidence and just takes charge of things for Athena. I dont know what I'd do without Myka!

She was always prompt and on time, followed everything we asked, and even took the girls for a walk one day, which was such a nice bonus! Most importantly, the girls seemed happy and comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were at work. Everything went smoothly, and we had absolutely no complaints.

Avalon was the best cat sitter for my boy cat. I needed someone last minute and she was able to take on his care and was a great communicator throughout the process. My cat needed 3 different oral medications which she was able to administer without any problems. And if you know cats and meds it’s very challenging to get meds in them! She definitely knows cat language and behavior and I would highly recommend her for any cat care. I felt very at ease leaving my boy under her care. Not to mention my cat absolutely loved and adored her. Avalon you are a cat whisperer thank you so much!!

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.
