“Melissa, as always, was so wonderful with our dogs. She spends quality time with them & makes sure their needs are met. She also goes over & above by doing extra things for us while we are away (collects packages, brings in mail, brings in garbage bins etc). I highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
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.
“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’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I am a genuine animal lover and have gotten along with every pet I’ve come across with enough time. Every pet is different with a variety of needs, I’m here to understand that and give them the best care possible! I’m currently starting out on Rover so I do not currently have a routine. I am very open and fluid with scheduling so please reach out! I love spending time with animals so getting your pet to be comfortable with me is a big priority. Aside from caring for the specific needs for your pet, I would love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting your pet!

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.
“Tonja was extremely professional and went above and beyond what I asked of her. I have 2 diabetic cats and besides daily pictures, she kept me informed of how many units were given and if they ate or drank water. She helped me out at the last minute and I highly recommend her for kitty care!!”
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 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!

About: Here’s a polished version of your message that keeps your voice but makes it flow more smoothly and professionally: Hello! My name is Kathleen, and I am Deaf. I have a deep love for dogs and many years of experience caring for them. I’ve cared for several of my own dogs, and my most recent dog, Nika, was with me until she passed away in January 2025. She was very special to me. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks or outside for potty breaks, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I respect each dog’s personality and give them the space they need to feel comfortable and relaxed in my home.

House sitting — I would love to watch your pet, but while I work overnight Sunday through Thursday, my boyfriend is willing and happy to help watch your pet during those hours. I always take dogs out on a leash for potty breaks. I stay outside with them until they poop and pee. Sometimes we sit on the patio or relax on the grass for a few minutes. I also watch closely in case a dog has any allergies or needs special care outside. I give dogs the freedom to be themselves and stay comfortable while keeping them safe and cared for.

“Jessica anticipates Puka’s every need, so he doesn’t miss a beat when we are away. He has a new best friend, and we never worry when she is caring for him! Jessica sends the most thorough notes and BEST photos after every visit!”
About: Hi! My name is Chandler and I am currently still in college. I have the pleasure of caring for a dog and two cats all of whom were rescued when they were young so I have experience with training, crating, and all things that come with overly excited puppies and kittens. Shimmer is an indoor/outdoor cat so I am way too good at removing fleas and ticks. Jingles is a super friendly, Heinz-57, small dog who wanted to walk with three of his friends everyday so I have no problem handling multiple dogs of multiple sizes. I first got introduced to watching over other people’s animals about five years ago. My neighbors, who are snowbirds, had two dogs who were getting older and had a hard time traveling back and forth so they stayed with my family a couple months while they were up north for two years. I understand how every pet has a unique personality and I am committed to getting to what is necessary to keep yours happy and healthy. I really miss interacting with animals so I’m hoping you’ll allow me to give some love to your furry family members!!! I have in person classes on Thursday night. I am also working part-time Friday-Sunday. Each shift is between 4-5 hours and my schedule changes weekly. If needed I can make a set schedule with my job to accommodate your pets! Typically when I do walks, I play and make sure they had something to eat/drink before we go out. I don’t time restraint the animals unless set forth by the owner. I bring a water bowl, a toy, some treats, and doggy bags with me when I walk. If you live near a park I will most likely take your dog there if they are comfortable being around other people and dogs. If boarding in my home or yours I perform the same care as my own furry friends: probably giving them two much attention but I will follow your guidelines for when/how much food, whether or not they are allowed on furniture or should be in a crate, and any other special instructions.
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.
