“Delaney was wonderful! She was super responsive, carefully read and followed all of our instructions for the home, and made sure Huckleberry got plenty of lovins while we were away. It’s always such a relief to know you have someone you can trust with both your home and your pets while you’re out of town. We would absolutely recommend Delaney and would happily book with her again!”
“Booked Jennifer last minute for a few walks over the weekend. She truly saved the day! She was super responsive from the first inquiry all the way through taking care of our doodle. She showed our dog amazing care each time, playing with him, going on walks, feeding him. Highly recommend and our pup loves Miss Jennifer!”
“Katrina was awesome at taking care of our cat while we were traveling! She is very communicative and friendly, and we felt comfortable knowing our cat was in great hands!”
About: Hey y'all! My name is Hunter and I used to run a pet care business with my mom for about 4 or 5 years called Paws & Purrs. We continued to take on a few clients for a few more years after she closed Paws & Purrs to pursue her furniture business further! I helped to take care of and walk a variety of different dogs; Great Danes, mastiffs, pitbulls, shitzus, corgis, labs, and a whole ton more! I have ample experience in walking, sitting, feeding and much more animal care knowledge. I can't wait to meet all of your furry friends! I work full time as a medical receptionist, so I'll be walking and meeting your furry friends in my down time. My schedule is as follows for availability: Monday Wednesday and Friday after 4:00 pm Tuesday and Thursday after 6:00 pm Saturday and Sunday all day I've walked dogs of all sizes for about 8 1/2 years. I create a pet-friendly environment, removing hazards and providing cozy spots for rest. I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. For active breeds, I ensure they get plenty of physical activity through walks, runs, or playtime in a secure area. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages, providing peace of mind while they’re away. I maintain a clean environment, regularly picking up after pets and ensuring their living area is tidy. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure a positive and nurturing experience for pets in my care.
“I needed a last minute dog visit. Reached out to Bailey and she was quick to do a meet and greet that day. Bailey was great! She arrived on time and didn’t rush the visit. She communicated with me well and really treated my dog like she was family. She followed my instructions and even stayed longer to visit with my dog. I received two cute photos of the time she spent with my dog. I really enjoyed using Bailey.”
“Cassidy did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town recently. Appreciate the engaging time she spent with them and sharing pics daily afterwards. We always felt the cats were cared for and safe. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with many pets and have been dog/ cat sitting since I was 9 for friends and family, alongside my own golden doodle now! I’m currently working part time at nights and I love dog walking in the mornings. I have plenty of time every day until 7 to walk!! I have a golden doodle and no yard so I often take him on walks and outside to potty every other hour. I also love the dog parks in the area!
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone caring and dependable to look after your pet. I have experience with the everyday things dogs need—like regular walks, feeding, playtime, and, most importantly, lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat pets like they’re part of the family. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my weekly schedule. I’m also comfortable adjusting my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I stick closely to their usual routines, keep a clean and calm environment, and always make sure they feel secure and loved. I’m respectful of your space and follow any instructions you provide, so your pet feels right at home even when you’re away.
About: I am a huge animal lover! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, activity levels, and many that need a little extra love and attention. My husband and I have three dogs: a beagle mix and two extra large labs, so I am comfortable caring for dogs that pull, prefer to keep to themselves, and even those that have separation anxiety. I am a young professional that works full time but my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to drop by for a potty break and play session during the day or in the evening! I understand that trusting your fur baby and your home to a stranger is a big decision. That’s why I am committed to following your explicit directions and sending lots of photos and updates during my time with your pup! I will care for your pup and your home like it is my own! I do not bring my dogs along so I can give yours my undivided attention.
“Robyn was the best! She made me feel at ease while I was away. She updated me every time she let them out and I knew she was caring for my babies as if they were her own. Highly recommend!!”

I have dog sat for all my friends and family’s pets for years. I enjoy it.

About: I absolutely love dogs, cats and most any animal. I’ve pet & house sat for others on multiple occasions and have loved it, so I want to do it more frequently! This includes, feeding, walking, playing with the animals, etc. My schedule is flexible but I usually run errands during the day and work some mornings/some evenings! Would love to have some furry company since I don’t have a dog of my own currently :) Whatever you need me to do I will do! I’ll play and walk the dog however much it needs and put it on a good feeding schedule and make sure they’re happy and healthy.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love dogs and I have sweet spot for Golden Retreivers since I have one of my own. I love being able to play with dogs and walk them during the day since I work from home. I treat any dog as if they are my own. I will always ensure they are well exercised, cuddled, fed, and most of all loved. I work from home each day so I have a very flexible schedule. I live in an apartment that my golden retreiver loves to play in and we take several walks around the neighborhood to ensure the dogs get the proper exercise that they need. I love to keep dogs active while they are staying at my apartment. From playing fetch, to walks, I always will ensure your dogs are happy and loved.

I have watched over dogs from the size of a shoe to literally a 230 pound mastiff (cutest dog i’ve ever met). I would like to help you with any needs you may need! (Also in the picture he is a 140 pound st. bernard named coach) I am available whenever and wherever! I can provide overnight service as well as check ins or walking. Any times work with me as well.

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.
