“I’m not one to submit a review unless the service is really bad or really good. In this case it is really good. Whitney is great. She has dropped in on Jo Jo several times and has gone above and beyond every time. She is completely reliable, knowledgeable, and caring. At the risk of making her availability more competitive, I strongly recommend you consider Whitney to help with your canine family members.”

About: I have grown up with Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also pet/house sat for family and friends through middle school, high school and now college. I have/had many dogs and cats who have been/are massive parts of our family. 4 German Shepherds, Apache, Zoom, Ranger and Camo. 1 Husky Cherokee and 2 Australian Shepherds Banjo and Max. I have taken pride in self training my dogs to be good K-9 citizens. Ex: “Sit”, “Waite”, “Down”, “Leave it” and not jumping. Some of my favorite activities with dogs are walking/running, brushing/baths, playing with toys/wrestling, snuggles, driving around and a snack never hurt anyone! :) As for cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. Of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) I am a full time college student with MIZZOU Army ROTC. During the summers I’m available most days/nights and weekends. As for the school year I’m pretty open as well. We will have to communicate and see what works best for everyone at that time. I was raised to hold myself to high standards and values some of these values are summed up best by the Army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I believe you need all of these to not only be the best version of yourself but pull the best out of others, person or paw. I care for my pets by making them an important part of my life! I love to be active and take my dog on runs/walks and play. As for my cat when I’m doing Homework or relaxing after a long day she likes to snuggle me or play with her toys. My pets are my family, team and life. I keep them safe by keeping them in active parts of my life, researching the food they eat and have a great relationship with there vet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.

“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always been hesitant to leave my own pets at a boarding facility, so I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a home environment. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply having a companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a full time Ultrasound Tech. My work hours are 7-5:30 and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My husband gets home at 5PM and is able to help with care as well! Weekend trips are perfect for me but if you need care through the week, it still works! I have a corgi and 2 kids ages 3 and 6! I also have two cats but they can be separated from the dogs easily if your dog hates cats! (the cats have the whole finished basement) I have a large yard for your babies to run around if they are trained to come when called. If not, I have no issues bringing them outside on a leash!

About: Pets have been a part of my life ever since I can remember, and their welfare is of utmost importance to me. From farm animals to domestic animals, I treat your best friends as I would treat my own. Experienced in senior care and puppy care as well as cats and feral cats. Have volunteered at a shelter with bathing, walking, and cleaning kennels as well as boarding dogs for friends. My availability is open depending on your needs and logistics for dog walking and drop ins. Prefer if walking the dog in the community earlier morning hours or later afternoon hours to avoid the heat. For dropping by, anytime of the day can work. I service the Eldon, Missouri, area to the eastside of Jefferson City, Missouri. Trips to the Taos, Missouri, dog park can be arranged. When caring for pets in your home, I abide by your rules and wishes and what your companion feels safe and comfortable with. Glad to send pictures!

About: I have worked been around and worked with cats and dogs for my entire life. From having quite a number of pets throughout the years to just going over to a friend’s house and ending up spending more time with the pets than anyone else, my love for animals is strong and my connection with them even stronger. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with animals and dedicate the time and attention that they need! I have a dog of my own who just loves making new friends and a house that is big enough to give them space to run with many toys to play with.

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).

About: Hi! I’m Landree, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training horses at 10 years old, began working with exotic animals at 16, attended my first professional dog training course in 2021, and completed another in 2022. My goal is to create a place where every dog feels like they’re on vacation while you’re away. I live in St. James, Missouri, on 7 beautiful acres with a secure fenced yard for safe play and plenty of open fields for supervised walks and exercise. Our property also has a large pond. While it isn’t fenced, dogs are never allowed near it without direct supervision, and if you’d rather your pup avoid the pond completely, I’m happy to accommodate that. I work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are welcome to relax and roam freely in the house while I’m home. If I ever need to step out for errands, they’ll stay safely in a dog-proof room or a crate, depending on what they’re most comfortable with and what you prefer. I also have both stairs and a ramp leading into the house to help accommodate senior dogs and those with mobility needs. For added convenience, I offer transportation to and from your home for boarding clients. I’m currently working toward opening my dream pet resort, where dogs can enjoy a fun, enriching, and safe stay every time they visit. Until then, I’m excited to welcome your furry family member into my home and care for them as if they were my own. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, not a side hobby, so your pet’s care is my top priority throughout the day. My daily routine is built around providing frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. During the summer, we enjoy the cooler parts of the day outside and spend the hottest hours relaxing indoors in the air conditioning before heading back out for more fun in the evening. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow your dog’s normal feeding times, medication schedule, exercise needs, and preferred routine. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Because pet care is my full-time profession, your dog won’t simply be checked on throughout the day—they’ll receive consistent supervision, personalized care, and the love and attention they deserve. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust their day to keep them happy and comfortable. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.

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.
