“I am really happy that Melissa accepted my last minute booking for my cat. Melissa went above and beyond and I’ll definitely book her again. I can tell she really cares.”
About: I have had anywhere from 2-4 animals in my house for the entirety of my life, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have contributed to the simple tasks of feeding them, letting them outside, taking them on walks, taking them to the vet, and cuddling with them. However, I have also had experience caring for 2 elderly dogs and 2 dogs that struggle with seizures. This required more patience and gentleness, learning how to medicate, and sometimes even emergency vet trips. I am currently enrolled at the University of Central Florida, but I am taking mostly online classes. Most weeks, I am able to be home in Sebastian from Wednesday evenings to Sunday nights. During that time, I should be able to drop in once or twice a day and care for your pets. I do not take pets to my home, but I will happily "drop in" to your house, feed your animals, let them outside (dogs), medicate them, and give them pets/cuddles if necessary.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.
“Kristina was great! She started by offering to do a meet and greet, which was fantastic because our big dog can be a jumper and our puppy can be skittish. And then when she did our drop in for us, she was very communicative and provided a lot of updates. We highly recommend Kristina!”
About: I work from home with a full fenced in acre perfect for a fun stay! I've been a volunteer for the Humane Society for 15years, foster dogs of all ages (puppies to senior care), and very experienced preventing behavior issues with reactive dogs. Two dogs of my own that love to play! Shepard Mix (F) 5years and Pitbull (M) 5years I work from with a very flexible schedule, I can travel to you for home visits, walking, ect at a time that accommodates you best! My fully fenced in 1-acre yard is perfect for a fun stay while boarding/day sitting. I have two dogs and one is mildly reactive so offers for sitting/boarding at my house are respectfully very dependent on case-by-case basis.

I have two dogs and one is mildly reactive so offers for sitting/boarding at my house are respectfully dependent on case-by-case basis. I have ability to crate and separate if needed, provide full transparency with any issues and have alot of experience handling/preventing behavior issues.
About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I can remember. Old, young, high and low maintenance, long hair and short haired, really anything you can think of. I am medically trained, and I’ve taken care of several dogs after they receive medical care. I can administer medication and injections if needed. I am especially great with senior dogs that need a bit of special attention and patience. I’m have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can check in any time of day, and I’m free most days of the week. I can feed, bathe, play with, take on walks, administer medications, etc in the clients home. I can also bring pets to their vet appointments if needed.
About: I've personally had and cared for a variety of pets my whole life. From a variety of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes, to guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, lizards, fish, ferrets and limited experience with farm animals. I have a senior dog who is special needs and cannot walk. I especially love to take him on walks in his stroller and swim with him for exercise. Comfortable giving medication and following all pet parents directions. I have open availability to fit all scheduling and care needs. Appointments can be booked in advance or same day if needed. Pets are my only focus! I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in and a pool if they love to swim! There is plenty of space in my 3 bedroom home if they need to relax alone, have crate time or they can play with my two friendly dogs. I have one 7 year old lab mix with lots of energy and a senior shitzu that is friendly and calm with special physical needs. There are no children or other pets in this home. Non smokers.
About: Hi, I'm a caring and experienced pet lover offering dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Safety and your pet's happiness are my top priorities! Pet care can fit into your daily or weekly routine by setting specific times for feeding, walking, and playing. For example, I might feed your pet every morning and evening, walk them after work, and set aside time on weekends for longer play sessions. I will always make sure they have plenty of water and food, pets, walks, and play time before I leave. I will make sure they are set for when you come home

“Kristen was a pleasure to work with. I needed a cat sitter a week before leaving out of state. Kristen was very responsive and we were able to schedule a meet and greet right away. She sent multiple pictures each visit which showed my cat was in great care. I would highly recommend Kristen for looking after your pets.”
About: My Dad grew up in a farm, his love for animals I have inherited wholeheartedly. I have taken care of a range of animals altogether. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to provide care and support for your fur babies. I am available on the weekends too. At my place I have a dog park and a very cute grassy area for the dogs to play in. At the clients home I will make sure I have a clear understanding of the routine.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orchid
Angela was amazing, she agreed to take care of a seven year-old Rabbit while we were gone. She also had to administer medicine to this Rabbit and did so without any issues. She sent many photos and text giving us updates on the status of our Rabbit Ziggy. I would highly recommend Angela for any small care and also home visits. Raymond
Jonathan was absolutely fantastic caring for our cat Sheba for 4 days during Thanksgiving. He was very polite, attentions, and accommodating to all our needs. He communicated with us at each twice-a-day visit, letting us know how she was, which gave us peace of mind. I cannot thank him enough for all the care and good work. We highly recommend him and we will definitely have him again.

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.
