“Kortni is the best pet sitter I could’ve asked for! Her clear love for animals shines through when you see her interact with your pet. My cat is usually very shy, but not towards her! Instant friends upon meeting. For any of my pet needs in the future, I will be booking with Kortni! :)”
“We wish we could give Hannah 1000 stars! Our sweet kitty girl was well cared for. Hannah went above and beyond expectations, made extra visits and eased our fears when we thought our little fluff was sick. Thank you Hannah….for being amazing!!!”
“If you want the BEST, Hire the BEST !! Erin came to visit Bently 2 times before we booked. Bently is a 95lb, 4 year old Pure Pit Bull from AKC registered parents. He Not the most social dog and hates cats. Erin came into Bently's life and showed him she wasn't afraid and was in charge. She showed Bently she was a friend, ready with Treats, Food, Water, and Lots of Loving. Bently "took" to her imminently and behaves better for Erin than he does for me. During her 6 visits over 2 1/2 days she kept me updated with texts and pictures (wish I could get him to pose like that). I Knew He Was Safe ! Erin made a friend in Bently as he still looks to see if she is entering the house when it's only my brother and I. Bently was Well cared for, was played with and given his Favorite treat a "peanut butter bone." Erin couldn't have done a Better Job. I will definitely use Erin to puppy sit Bently next time he needs a friend to care for him !!!!!! :)”
“Veronica is very communicative and clearly loves taking care of the animals she's watching. We were very happy to find someone not only great with out kitties, but also knowlegeable about aquariums.”
About: I used to work as a Vet assistant, so I am familiar with geriatric and medically fragile animals. I am willing to trim nails or give injections or Sub Que fluids or whatever your baby needs. I have a diabetic kitty and have a history of being a hospice house for aging kitties. I am familiar with the at home medical care of many different diseases. I also am trained in animal CPR and First Aid so can handle most emergencies quickly and calmly. I am familiar with reptiles and other exotics so feel free to pm me about that. I grew up on a cattle ranch and trained cattle dogs as well as horses. I also have an Anatolian mix who weighs over 100lbs (born Jan 22) and love to take her out to explore. Although I'm sure your dog would love to join us! I have the most experience with herding and guardian breeds, though I love all animals My life revolves around the animals I care for. I am usually up by 7am. I feed my animals as soon as I get up in the morning and then around 6pm at night. Since I work at home, or can travel anywhere( I make custom sized medical suits and accessories for animals that don't fit the standard size range or have some for of deformity to work around) the animals are usually in the same room I'm working all day. While I may have a few errands throughout the day my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a 4yr old Great Pyrenees Anatolian mix who loves to go with me everywhere. She is good with other dogs, cats, goats, chickens etc. She also immediately adopts any baby she finds, human, dog, cat, chicks..... If love to bring her with me but I do have someone to take care of her if you'd rather I don't bring her. I try to get an understanding of what the typical routine for your pet is and how you do things so that they are less stressed about changes. With my own dog I'm very big on routine and structure at home. I try to keep things predictable for my animals and schedule my life around their routines.
About: Ask for my promo code for $20 off your first booking!! Hello, I am a full time student as well as a momma! I am home every weekend as well as holidays and love animals so this is a perfect fit! I do have the whole summer off as well! All pets are welcome but I do require that they be friendly if they are staying overnight at my home because I have dogs of my own! My hours are very flexible, so please feel free to message me if you have any questions about my schedule! I understand pets are family and I will take care of them and treat them as such! Your little ones will be in great hands with me! Thank you! I go to school online and I work as a preschool teacher so I’m home all summer, holidays and weekends with my pup and kid. All dogs are fed separately to prevent any mishaps! If for any reason I have to leave the pups unsupervised my dogs have kennels that they go in to make sure the pups aren’t unsupervised together.
“Angel was a perfect pet walker! Great communication too. I was traveling to Lincoln City from California with my 6 month old puppy. Since the hotel didn't allow the pups to be left in the room at all, it was great to have someone lined up during my vacation to care for her while I visited places that didn't allow dogs (Indoor seating restaurants and the casino). I'll will use her service again next time I'm in town.”
About: I have my own dogs and I’ve watched my families dogs as well. I’d say I definitely have experience in taking care of them so it’s not a worry. I’m a full-time student with availability Sunday through Tuesday. My schedule is limited, but I’d love to spend time caring for your furry friends! I offer lots of play time and one on one time with your pets. I’ll keep them safe, fed, and most importantly have fun 💖
About: I don't charge strictly by the number of animals. Instead, I base pricing on the overall time, care required, and complexity of the visit. Whether you have one pet or several that share the same routine, I'll provide a fair quote. Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I've been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up on a small farm raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and I've never been without dogs or cats. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, from feeding and cleaning to recognizing when something isn't quite right. I've been providing pet care through Rover since 2021 and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and hobby farm animals. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, playtime, medication, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own animals. I'm also comfortable caring for livestock and multiple-animal households, making me a great fit for families with hobby farms or a variety of pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I strive to make each visit as stress-free and consistent as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits and do my best to accommodate your pet's normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is, especially when you're away, and I'll communicate with updates and photos after every visit. Every pet is cared for according to their individual routine and your instructions. I'm experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, and hobby farm animals, so I'm comfortable caring for multi-animal households. Safety is always my priority, whether that means double-checking gates, using leashes, crating when requested, administering oral medications, or making sure fresh food and water are always available. I'll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Another great visit with Chelsie! I feel very easy leaving knowing my dogs are looked after by her. Great communication and you can tell how much she loves animals. Thank you again!”

Im always available ! every day has something going on. grooming, walking, play times, and its awesome! if I'm not walking an animal or grooming them I'm hanging out with them or showing them new places they have never been before or having different experiences everyday. I always give them love every second i get, always will be respectful to not only the animal but the owner as well and things that are set for me to do with their loved ones, and to show that they are well taken care of when you're away from home
About: I've had rescue dogs who were able to live long healthy lives under my care. I don't currently have any animals of my own but while I was in graduate school I also helped care for my dads dogs. When I was a teenager, I worked at a kids camp and took care of horses during the summers. I've also had cats, a rabbit, ferrets, and a hedgehog. I've also volunteered at farm sanctuaries quite a bit working with all kinds of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, and more. I've house sat for people with cats, dogs, and even a sugar glider. I also have experience administering medications to animals big and small. I work four 10 hour shifts per week from 4pm-2:30am. The days that I work vary each week. I'd love to check in on pets or watch them for the day on my days off. Pets can have free range in my apartment and there is a small backyard area that is unfenced. If I'm staying at your home, I'll do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and give them as much love as possible
About: I have owned and been around dogs since a young age. I’ I have experience with different behaviors and mannerisms of dogs from all walks of life. Currently on summer break so I have open availability on the days I have outside of other part time work. Days provided on my profile. I live in a cozy apartment and provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for with gentle handling and consistent, trustworthy attention.
About: I don't like seeing pets alone when their owners are away, so I love keeping them company! I make them feel comfortable in my home.

I love to help. I always respect your home’s rule with your pets. As long you let me know with your concerns. I love to check your pets to make sure they’re ok.

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.
