About: I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my entire life! Caring for animals is something I take seriously, and I always make sure they feel at home. It is my privilege to give your pets a safe, fun, and stress free experience when you can’t be with them. I balance a full time role with flexible availability to give your pets consistent, loving care during the week. I also have open availability on the weekends. I provide hands on, attentive care whether pets are in my home or theirs. I stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by giving them consistent attention, keeping their environment clean, and treating them like my own pets
“Thank you so much for taking care of our boys! We had zero stress about traveling away from them which is hard because Wilbur definitely gets Seperation Anxiety but he was super happy to see us and he is being more and more social with everyone now that we keep introducing him to other people. Stewie was also doing great and had zero issues with anything. Molly was wonderful and we would recommend and use her again.”
“Yefan was absolutely amazing, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! We have two senior dogs, so leaving them with someone else is never easy. They both have their own routines and need extra patience and attention, but Yefan took such incredible care of them. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, responsible, and detail-oriented. She paid close attention to all of our instructions and made sure every little detail was taken care of. Throughout their stay, it was clear that our dogs were not just being watched—they were genuinely being cared for. She made sure they were comfortable, well-fed, and received plenty of love and attention. Senior dogs often need a little extra help and understanding, and Yefan went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe, relaxed, and happy. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It meant a lot to know they were in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, patient, and truly loves animals, Yefan is the person you want. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and we would trust her with our dogs again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Yefan, for treating our pups like your own. We are so grateful for everything you did. Highly, highly recommended!”
“I am so happy and relieved to have Carolyne care for my cats while I was away. I appreciated daily photos and updates on my "babies". I feel she went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Carolyne!!”
About: My family has had animals all my life and I always have felt drawn to all kinds of pets and feel like I get what they’re saying without speaking! I love energetic play and having full conversations with them. I’ve taken care of newborn cats and dogs to adult cats and dogs. No specific experiences with senior animals but willing to learn! I work a full time job from 8-5, Mon-Fri. But I am more than happy to spend each evening and morning as well as the weekends with your cute and furry family members! I will give them ample about of social and play time while also following family specific rules for crating or free roam time. I can take them to a dog park and be energetic with them if allowed and can give all animals cuddle time as they deserve!
“Chloe was calm when I came home-that told me she was well cared for while I was away. The pictures, summary and feedback on the Rover card was nice! Chloe gave Kristi kisses!! If you need some one to care for your pet, book with Kristi!!”
“Nicole was very easy to work with and accommodating for some last minute changes. Updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will use her again anytime we are out of town!”
About: I have been providing pet sitting services for at least 15 years now for our various personal family friends and others. I love animals and have had pets my whole life. They are my fur babies, and yours will be treated the same! I am a recently retired mom and grandma who has two fur babies. I can provide my own transportation, and I’m available all throughout the day for various times as needed. I would be happy to help you with your fur baby needs. I plan to provide pet care in my client’s home and keep to the same schedule they are used to. It is my goal to make sure they are comfortable and safe before I leave from the visit.
“Maria was absolutely wonderful for my pup!!! She was friendly, respectful, and very attentive to her needs. I am a new pup mama and she made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was very responsible and read my very thorough instructions for my pup. I will definitely be choosing Maria again! :)”
About: I have dog sat numerous times over the years to back up my sister when she was not available. In addition to caring for the pets, I have retrieved mail, newspapers, watered: lawns, flower beds, potted plants and houseplants. I turn lights on, and the TV for your pet. I love spending time with pets and would play with your pet and look after it as it was my own. I currently work full-time Monday through Wednesday and would be available to drop in to care for your pet Thursday through Sunday. I prefer a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure I am a good fit for your pet, however it’s not required if you are in a bind. I can easily drop in feed your dog & take it for a short walk. I can also have the TV on and a light if needed. I live in an apartment with my 10 year-old golden doodle however, due to my lease agreement, I am unable to care for your pet in my home or stay overnight in your home to care for your pet. I do not have a yard but open to taking your pet to the dog park, if they need to run, play and socialize with other dogs.
About: I have cared for animals since I was a child, having been raised on a farm where we always had all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. We have had such wonderful pet-sitters of our own, that I want to give back as well and provide that loving care to your family pet with the comfort of knowing they are being loved. Each person that shares their family pet with me can be assured they are receiving an abundance of love as if my own fur baby. I am a doodle mom that is in awe of the pure love that our animals give to us freely without hesitation. We do not deserve dogs, but we have been given them to experience unconditional love and pure joy! I am a work at home mom, who truly enjoys spending time loving on dogs. I have never met a dog that I did not like, and they simply put a smile on my face and a pep in my step! I always ask families what makes their pet feel safest when entering their home so that I can follow that routine. I will always come in and provide space and time before approaching your pet as a new person to them. Spending time with your pet in the home first is important before we go outside, as they need to feel safe and loved.
“She went above and beyond with taking care of our 4 Maine Coons while we were out of town. She even saved us when my husband forgot to pause his weekly meal plan order and she was able to bring it inside and put it away in the freezer for us. We received tons of photos and our furry boys were happy and content when we got home. It was a smooth stress free vacation for us knowing the boys were in such good hands.”
“Elaina was great! Responsive, communicative, jumped in to sit for my kitty in a pinch and managed everything smoothly. Kept me informed with daily reports and photos. Came home to a written summary. Very pleased. Will use Elaina again.”
“Absolutely love her, and Sully does too! She kept me updated throughout the day, and you can tell she truly cares and loves spending time with Sully. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.
About: If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced and trustworthy to care for your fur baby, look no further! I have experience with all types of different breeds and temperaments. Growing up I had a Dalmatian, Chihuahua and a Pit bull mix. I unfortunately just lost my 12 year old Puggle and currently have a Beagle/Blue Tick hound mix. I can assure you when your dog is in my care, I will treat and care for them as if they are my own. I am currently a stay at home mom of twin boys! My husband works from home so I would love to be able to work your fur baby into my open schedule! I know how hard it can be to have to leave your pet for any amount of time and I will give your pet an ample amount of attention! I love to go on walks, play with their favorite toys, I can easily crate your pet if needed and I am able to give medicine if your pets requires me to do so.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ostrander stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
