“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”

“We've relied on Billy quite a bit, and the dogs are always happy to see him! We trust their care to him for drop-in visits while we're away -- he makes sure they get plenty of outside time and their meal (plus a "goodbye treat" we always give when heading out). For reference, the dogs are 55 and 80 lbs, a pit-lab mix (11 y.o) and a husky-lab mix (4 y.o). Izzy and Blue thank you, Billy!”

“Logan always takes excellent care of our dog when we have to leave town without her. She loves him and he is very consistent with his visits. He goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Logan if you have need of a care giver for your dog-child.”

“Errin is great! She did fantastic with my 220+ lb English Mastiff who tends to intimidate a lot of people (for obvious reasons). But, he absolutely loved her! Her personality is light, outgoing and happy which really makes a difference to dogs who can generally sense that kind of stuff. This was the first time I've left my pup overnight in three years and I was a bit nervous about it. But, I instantly felt better knowing that Errin would be looking after him. She was prompt, overly communicative and thorough! Will absolutely be using her again! Thanks a ton!”

About: Hey there, welcome! I’m newly married and we bought a home in Bertram in 2024. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and chickens. I’m looking forward to meeting neighbors and their loved fur babies! I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for about 8 years now, mostly in emergency and specialty surgery. I have experience from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I currently work relief in emergency so I do have flexibility in my schedule. Let me know your needs and your pets needs. If you would like additional references or information, don’t hesitate to message me to find your answers! Let me know what attracted you to my Rover page! I’m currently working part time at an emergency animal hospital in Austin. My shifts are picked up as relief shifts so my availability is flexible. Let me know what your pets normal day looks like! Earning trust and going at the animals pace to warm up to each other. I’d love to know where they love to be pet or their favorite toys and/or activities.
“Woof woof…. Miss Kaylyn stopped in to see us while Mum and Dad went on something called "Date Night", whatever that is! We don't like being left on our own but Miss Kaylyn gave us lots of lovies, cuddles and treats. She took lots of pictures and sent them to Mum and Dad so they would know we were being the bestest puppies! We give Miss Kaylyn 5 paws out of 5. We highly recommend and will have her come back, or stay with her, as soon as we can convince Mum and Dad to go away again! Mum here…. Not sure how the puppies managed to type this without me seeing, but we agree with everything they said. Kaylyn is very communicative, sends photos and updates and both our pups fell in love with her when she came by to meet them.... says everything we need to know! We will most definitely book with her soon. Its so great knowing we have someone to love on and care for our pups when we cant be here.”

About: Since a young age I've been caring for animals of all sizes. Whether it was finding a small homeless kitten and nursing it back to health at 7 years old, to starting my own dog walking service at 8, to currently working in an animal hospital caring for patients. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family has always known this was the field for me and I wouldn't change a thing. Even the most difficult animals deserve love, attention, and comfort. Big or small, I love them all. :) My current schedule varies between hours and days. Feel free with any questions or concerns you may have! Thank you so much for your time! i hope to hear from you shortly! I part time at a dental office, so this gives me more time to spend with your furbabies and sending updates on their staycation at home! Any updates to my schedule and I will immediately notify you. I have a fenced in large yard. My pets are crate trained but also enjoy company of friends! If your pet needs a more socially limited time, I am happy to accommodate that as well.
“Sherron was absolutely wonderful! I had zero worries while my boys were in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She provided thoughtful, reassuring, and fun updates with plenty of photos that made it clear they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she truly cares about the pets she watches. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”


“Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!”

“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner who has had both dogs and cats and I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Pluto who I adopted as a kitten. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m comfy with the routines, personalities, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors!! I love going on walks and getting outside PLUS I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get some energy out. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship rather than simply checking in on them and dipping. Because I’ve owned both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. Some want to play and explore, while others are happier relaxing and lounging (I have those days too, haha). I’m attentive to those differences and will follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible!(: My goal is to give every pet safe, attentive, and loving care! Whether that means an active play session, a walk, backyard time, cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their own home. I work a FT hybrid schedule, so I’m home every day except Wednesdays and Fridays as I’ll be in office until I get off at 5:30pm. On my remote work days, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including during my lunch break and after I finish work around 5:30 PM. I also naturally enjoy being active and usually take walks/runs early mornings and evenings daily. This makes it super easy to incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor time within my routine. For pets staying in my home, they’ll have plenty of companionship from me throughout the day, along with access to my fenced backyard for supervised play and outdoor time. On my office days, I’m available for pet care after I get home from work. For drop-in visits, I can visit during my lunch break and/or after work on remote days. On Wednesdays and Fridays I can stop by after work or before my shift. My weekends are generally relaxed and flexible, so I’m also available for visits and pet care then. I’m usually home a lot and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised play and outdoor time, and I’m more than happy to incorporate walks and playtime into their routine. My cat, Pluto is extremely sweet and comfortable around dogs, but I understand that not every pet feels the same way. I have a two-story home, which allows me to keep pets separated when needed and give everyone their own comfortable space. Safety and making sure each pet is comfortable will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feedings, meds, walks, potty breaks, crate routines, and anything else your pet is accustomed to. I like to keep pets’ normal routines as consistent as possible so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s established routine and provide whatever care they need; including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and of course love & attention. I’m also happy to send updates and fun photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

About: I have always had dogs in my life growing up, and currently have a dog at home as well. I love playing with dogs and providing them with all the exercise, love, and attention that they need on a daily basis. Taking care of dogs and making sure they are well loved and have everything they need is super important to me. I will do everything I can to take the best possible care of your pets. I understand that pets are an important part of your family, and I don't take that lightly. I enjoy getting to spend time with your pet on his or her walk(s), and doing whatever else is needed such as giving them food and water, etcetera. I can't wait to meet your pet! I’m a full time stay at home mom, so will be able to give your pet the attention that they need as we are very flexible in our schedule. I have a fenced in backyard to let the kids safely play. We also have lots of room for the dogs to play inside, and can crate the dogs if needed.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up in a home full of pets, which sparked my passion for caring for them. I spent four years working in the veterinary field, gaining hands-on experience and deepening my love for animal care. During that time, I worked as a kennel technician for two years and as a veterinary technician assistant for another two years, providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care for pets on a regular basis, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a friendly 7-year-old dog who loves companionship and playtime! I also have a huge fenced yard, perfect for pets to safely run and enjoy the outdoors.

About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
