About: What sets us apart is the deep, genuine love we have for animals. Our home recently said goodbye to our three beloved family dogs due to old age. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we miss the joy, energy, and warmth that pets bring into a home. Caring for your pets allows us to share the love, attention, and comfort we once gave our own dogs—and in many ways, it’s helping our hearts heal. We understand how important it is to feel confident and at peace when you’re away from your fur family. We will treat your pets with the same tenderness and respect we gave our own, making sure they always feel safe, loved, and cared for. Your pet becomes part of our family the moment they walk through our door. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home Wednesday through Friday, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, regular potty breaks, or peaceful company while I work. I’m also fully available in the evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible and happy to care for your pet in whichever environment makes them feel most comfortable. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent so it feels like you never left. I follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved in their familiar space. If your pet is staying in my home, I’m equally dedicated to their comfort and well-being. We have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely run, explore, or sunbathe, and pets are welcome inside our home—especially if they are potty trained—so they can relax comfortably wherever they feel happiest. Because our schedule is flexible and home-centered, your pet gets consistent companionship and care, not long hours alone. If needed, I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, give medication reminders, and maintain any routines that help your pet feel secure and cared for. I also have two young boys (ages 4 and 7) who adore animals and would enjoy your pet’s company, offering gentle play and lots of affection. Above all, I provide gentle supervision, a clean environment, and reliable communication so you always feel at ease knowing your fur family is in caring, trustworthy hands.
“Sherry was very communicative about our pets and even noticed that our alarm had an error on it and fixed it. She brought in the mail too. One of our cats prefers to be outside so she didn’t see him but made sure that his food was eaten so she knew he was ok.”

About: Growing up, my family always had animals around. I have five brothers and sisters and we all had pets, from dogs to cows to fish. Now as an adult, I would love to care for your pets for you. I’m not afraid of loud, messy, big dogs but I can be very gentle with shy, sweet kitties and puppies. I’m patient and I have done lots of research on how a dog’s brain works. I can’t wait to take your pet on an adventure or maybe just a leisurely stroll! I’m a stay-at-home-wife so I have lots of free time to dedicate to your furry friend. I try to keep Sundays low-key but the rest of my week is wide-open! I have a sweet small dog and a silly cat who loves dogs but can easily defend herself and hide. I have a big backyard for your pets to play in, but don’t worry, I will never leave them unsupervised.
“Jhada was amazing! She did a drop in for my cane corso Remi and she handled my 100+ lb puppy like a pro and I had a peace mind not having to worry about my boy being locked up in his crate all day. Will definitely use her again in the future this was my first experience with Rover and I love it.”

I have one dog and four cats that are super friendly to everyone.
About: I am choosing to take care of dogs on my free time because I work at an animal hospital and I feel as though I could be a good attribute to good quality care. I love animals so much and just want to spend more time with them! Working at a animal hospital my schedule will vary but I do get my schedules in advance so I would just let you know and we’ll go from there. while giving visits or even walking dogs, I make sure all needs are met but above all I make sure to build a connection. I do believe that it’s not only important to physically take care of a dog but emotionally as well being that they will miss you!

“Mateo was so wonderful with our dogs! He handled all 4 like a pro, even the little one that is blind and requires insulin injections after each meal. We will definitely be calling him back for all our petsitting needs!”
About: I have experience caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is the personal care I give… your pet gets the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. I’ll be starting school in August and i have a day job from 8am- 5pm with the weekends off. So if that would be able to fit in your schedule i’ll be a great person for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and the client’s home, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and familiar making sure they get love, exercise, meals on time, and lots of attention.
About: have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple dog daycare environments, where I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, walks, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure dogs remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also provided regular pet-sitting and one-on-one care, so I understand that every dog has different routines, energy levels, and needs. Working in dog daycares has taught me how important patience, consistency, communication, and paying attention to a dog’s body language are. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and take their care seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, entertained, and comfortable while they’re in my care. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog, so I’m very used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. Because I already have pets at home, I understand how important consistency and routine are. I make sure I have enough time in my day to give the pets in my care the attention they need rather than treating pet sitting like something I’m squeezing in. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for other people’s pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. 🐶🐱🤍 Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication or basic care, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in home, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have experience caring for my own pets—Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog—so I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well while they’re away. 🐶🐱🤍

Darian demonstrated professionalism by arriving as scheduled, ensuring my dogs were properly cared for, and providing peace of mind that they were in good hands. The care, patience, and kindness shown during each visit were greatly appreciated.

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.
