About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life and try my best to create an stress-free and healthy environment for your pets and your peace of mind! I’m currently on a sporadic schedule which leaves me with a lot of time to take care of your pet and all their needs as well as give the support they deserve. I will make sure the environment is very stress-free and calm along with the potential need for discipline (which I will do as your directed desires.)

About: I have always love animals since I was a kid and have always wanted to help and take care of them. I have 6 animals of my own at the moment and they teach me how to be more and more patient everyday. All my animals either came from a rough situation or they were literally born on my porch. I have bottle fed kittens from birth to adult hood to also having taken care of an 18 year old Miniature Pinscher who unfortunately lost the use of his back legs. I have always been an avid watcher/walker and I have to say it is my favorite job. My full-time job is freelancing I often do things like babysitting, pet sitting, house cleaning, etc. So I make my own schedule and make sure I manage my time to fit everything into my day. I often plan out my days ahead of time so I know exactly what needs to get done and when so I’ll never miss or be late to a visit. I will always follow pet care instructions exactly as you leave them, I am a “type a” person myself and I love a good detailed list. I will always communicate back to pet parents about there fur baby’s schedule if I’m not sure about something. My own pets mean so much to me that I understand the worry of leaving your pets with someone else and will do everything in my power to ease said concerns.

“Kim was great! She arrived on time and spent time with each of the kitties. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess one of them had made! We will definitely have Kim stop by to check on the kitties next time we're out of town!”

About: I'd love to help care for pets while you’re away! I’m happy to look after cats and small-medium sized dogs. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make time for play and affection, and give them space when they need it. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind. I'm happy to provide weekend hours and then some depending on what is needed. I do work a full time job Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:30. I will happily follow guides and routines set for your pet(s). I only offer to pet sit at the owners home. I do have 5 cats of my own at home and that would stress all parties out.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether they love to play, go for walks, or just relax and cuddle. I provide a safe, loving environment and will treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾🐶 As a college student and part-time worker on the weekends, I have a flexible schedule during the week and enjoy spending my free time caring for pets. I do best with laid-back pets and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care that fits both their routine and mine. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe environment and receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to provide care that keeps both pets and their owners happy and at ease.

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.
