About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever and a 10-year-old Maltipoo, so I’m very comfortable with both energetic young dogs and older pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, with additional availability on weekends. I’ll always work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. When I’m caring for your pets, I’ll keep them safe and comfortable in their own home while following their normal routines. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else they need. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re part of my own family!

I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve cared for several dogs at once and have loved on dogs from ages 2 to 12 years old (plus my own dogs from their first til their last days on earth). I love learning about each pup’s personality and quirks. They’re each so special I’m currently working full time but have availability during the day for check-ins. I also am available in the evenings and on the weekends. I currently do not have space to host pets in my home, but I plan to care for client’s pets the same way I care for my own. I give lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention to the pups I care for (adjusting accordingly for the personality of the dog). I own a German Shepherd, so I’m very accustomed to large dog breeds that require a lot of love and attention.
About: Hello! I absolutely love animals and it would be a privilege to help take care of yours. I started walking dogs when I was in junior high to raise money for charities. I would pet sit for friends in college who had dogs, new kittens, and elderly pets as well. I have a wide range of pet caring experience, can adapt to whatever your pet needs, and I am home often as a 4th year med student. I am home often as a 4th year medical student. Sometimes my schedule can still be chaotic so I communicate frequently and appreciate your patience! I have a spacious apartment, outdoor space, a couple of balconies, and pet-safe furniture that all makes for a great pet-sitting environment. I am also flexible in ensuring a pet has the best environment possible!
“Jacqueline took great care of our cats for three days last weekend, they seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. She sent updates and nice pictures each day, and used the Rover app well so we always knew when she'd been in to visit. We would use Jacqueline's services again and would recommend her to others.”
“Melanie is our go to gal for watching our fur babies! Not only is she professional, thorough, and sweet - she is also personable. Even though Rover notifies you when your sitter has arrived, Melanie sends her own personal message informing you she’s on-site. She also sends pictures/videos of your pets along with verbal updates. She likes to do a meet and greet before your actually booking which is nice. This is when you give her your notes/request/suggestions and overall routine of your pets. She immediately won over my pets and embraced their chaos - She is also armed and loaded with bite sized treats. Melanie is trustworthy and truly loves animals. Do yourself a favor and use her - we’re already booking her again!”
“Larisa went above and beyond! I booked with her pretty last minute, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and even took my dogs to the dog park, which was such a thoughtful extra and not something I had asked or expected her to do. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be booking with Larisa again!”

We had a fantastic experience with Ava! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She is kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we got home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Randi did an outstanding job checking in on my dog, Storm, over the weekend. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Storm was being well taken care of while I was away. I’d absolutely trust Randi again and highly recommend her to anyone needing someone dependable to look after their pets.

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.
