“Marcie does a great job watching my dog, she is always on time, takes good pictures and really seems to enjoy her time with my dog Sam! She has watched Sam many times and I will be using her many more!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs is more than just something I do on the side—it’s my everyday life. I’m a Co Packleader at High Rovers Dog Daycare, where I work with dogs of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have years of experience in dog daycare and am trained in pet first aid, dog body language, and group management. I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog is having fun, becoming overwhelmed, needs a break, or needs a little redirection. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and learning what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, shy or nervous dogs, dogs who need extra patience, and dogs who prefer a slower pace. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing fetch, going for walks, practicing basic training, or simply relaxing beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every pet the same level of patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own dogs. 🐾 Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work at High Rovers Dog Daycare, where I spend my workdays caring for dogs, supervising playgroups, and making sure each pup is safe, comfortable, and having a great day. Outside of daycare, I’m available for in-home pet sitting and care. I’m used to planning my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and making sure they receive the attention, potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. Because dogs are already such a big part of my daily routine, caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s something I genuinely love doing. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. 🐾 Whether your pet is staying with me through daycare or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. At High Rovers, I work with dogs in a supervised daycare environment where we focus on safe play, socialization, enrichment, and reading each dog’s individual body language. I’m trained in pet first aid, body language, and group management, and I have years of experience working with dogs with different personalities and play styles. For in-home pet sitting, I keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your dog at High Rovers or in their own home, I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away. 🐾
“Richard was awesome! He was very responsive and took the time to learn about Ada and her anti-social ways. I didn’t worry a bit while I was away, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely work with Richard again.”
About: All Paws Welcome! I have been taking care of all dogs and cats since a very young age. I grew up helping out with my aunts pet sitting business. I have a year of experience in starting my own business and am trying to build. I am available for pop in visits, dog walks and overnight home care for any needs your pet may have. Down the road I plan to be offering play groups as well I am available Thurs- Saturday from 8am - 5 pm for any pet care needs you may have. I also have a part time job that is secondary Mon-Wed. I do not offer overnight stays at my home currently. I always approach my home care with comfort and care. I have a friendly corgi that can keep your dog company but I of course know every dog is different and I always want them to feel relaxed and cozy in their environment.
About: I am a responsible, reliable, hard-working, and deeply caring person with a love for pets and animals! I grew up taking care of the family dog, adopted and trained my German Sheperd mix, and now have a puppy I am training. I also currently have 4 lovely cats. 🙂 I will listen to all my client's requests and specific needs for taking care of their beloved pet(s)! I am always attentive to the pets that are within my care. I understand that each pet has their own specific needs and quirks. A pawsitive experience for the animal and their owner is my top priority. I also am very attentive to certain training your pup may be practicing while they are in my care, if requested. :) I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also sometimes work part time from home, which means I am more available to keep an eye on your pets needs. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I love to take doggos on field trips too! So the combo means your pup gets lot of exercise, socializing, adventure and exploring! Our field trips are usually to a local trail, averaging about 1.5 to 2 miles. I also always have treats on hand for the pups.
“I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!”
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
About: I have hands-on veterinary medicine experience, including working in an overnight animal emergency hospital, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and recognizing when something may require veterinary attention. I'm experienced with medications, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals who need extra patience and individualized care. I also understand how important it is to maintain each pet's normal routine while their family is away. Caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life, so I’m very comfortable building my schedule around their needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines with regular meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and medication when needed. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. When house sitting, I keep pets in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and medications when needed. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and boundaries so they receive individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. I also treat my clients' homes with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and comfortable while their family is away.
“Avital was a great, reliable, and communicative sitter! They did drop in visits 3 times a day for my dog and rabbit, and I was always assured they were being cared for. Both animals warmed up to Avital very quickly and were completely comfortable with them coming into the house after we left.”

“Jen did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were on vacation! We have two cats, and one has special medical needs as she is diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. Jen was very patient with her, as she has some bathroom issues also due to her diabetes and doesn’t always make it all the way into the litter box. Our other cat is a Maine Coon who requires some extra enrichment and attention. Jen took the time to play with him each time she visited. Jen checked in with us often, sent us pictures and provided us with detailed daily reports about each of our cats. We highly recommend Jen!”
“Thank you to Ashley for checking in on our dog Otto in a last minute request. Ashley was incredibly thorough in her update and care for Otto. We will certainly be booking her 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 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.
