“Lora Renee took great care of our cat! He was diagnosed with Lymphoma 2 months ago and we were hesitant to leave him, but Lora Renee immediately put us at ease. We felt very comfortable having her in our home.”

About: I have been a dog sitter awhile and have gained a lot of experience. I have done overnight stays, check ins, dog walks, and more. I have a puppy of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and more have trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, and play with them. Worked with many different dogs and various ages. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to come check in on the pups and play with them. My work schedule does change depending on the week but I am available every day of the week. I am free mornings and nights and would have time mid day to check in on the dogs. I have a fenced yard for my dog and I walk him twice a day so he can get his energy out. I would walk your dogs how ever much is needed. Additionally, I would make sure to check in on them multiple times outside of my other jobs to ensure that they are good and can be let out. I am comfortable making sure any necessary medication is given on time and that they are also fed at there normal times. I know how much pets need to play and I would love to play fetch and more with your pets!!

About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.

“Courtney was beyond amazing taking care of my two cats for ten days over the holidays. She was flexible and adjusted the feeding routine as needed when my cats were in a mood, lol, and was very communicative with me. She brought in packages/mail. Very reliable and responsible. Loved all the pictures and updates and will definitely book her again when needed. Thank you Courtney!!”

About: I have my own 1.5yr old husky/blue heeler, he's my best bud. Before him I adopted a senior lab & loved her through her end of life care. I grew up with multiple dogs & had one other long term dog best friend in early adulthood. I'm currently a stay at home mom with one at home & one in grade school. Have plenty of time to walk, drop in or even dog sit. I will care for your pets with love & follow any instructions given. At my home I have a fully fenced yard & my own dog that is dog friendly.

About: Puppy care, elderly dog care, and working on my Red Cross pet first aid certification. I have cared for teacup small, pony-sized, large dogs, and white faced elderly dogs that need special attention. I love every dog I met and can’t wait to meet yours! I am doing school online. I can do early mornings, late nights, or if you need me to watch your pup at home. My days are open to whenever I need to drop by When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and companionship, and keeping their environment clean and safe. I follow all care instructions closely to ensure your pets are getting exactly what they need. I also give regular updates (and adorable pictures) to ensure peace of mind.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all types and sizes, ranging from Frank, a 130+ pound lab mix, to my parent's dog Willow, a 20-pound Bernedoodle. I grew up learning about dogs from my grandma who competes in dog shows. I watched as she taught her dogs to jump and listen to her every command. My parents then got Willow as a little puppy where I realized consistency and puppy pads are essential. I have always been an active person and can't wait to take your dogs on a walk or maybe a run for those active dogs! I'm training for a marathon and would love the extra exercise. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher while working on my teaching certification and master's online. I am coaching a 7th-grade girl's basketball team for 2 hours a day on weekdays. My schedule is very flexible and I can work around your dog's needs! I do not have a place for your dog to visit my home but I would love to watch your dog at your home or take them out on walks. I can crate dogs in your home if that is needed. I can feed, walk, brush, and play with your dog! Let me know how to best help you and your pup and I will do my absolute best.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶

“Lindsay took good care of our kitties when we were away. One of the kitties had an eye infection right before our trip and Lindsay was able to help with eye drops as well. She was responsible and diligent and we got picture updates every time. She gave us great peace of mind that our kitties were well taken care of. Thank you!!”

“Elizabeth had a quick response to our last-minute need for a drop-in while we were visiting from out of town. She already had great reviews so we felt we could trust her with our baby. She followed all of our instructions? Was very communicative, and took extra care to make sure our girl felt comfortable and safe with a new person. Leaving your baby while out of town can be super stressful when you don’t have a sitter you know, but she took the stress out of it. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and have always been comfortable caring for and being around them. I also cared for my own dog for over a year after getting her when she was around 6 months old. She had a difficult past and had already had puppies at a very young age, so she needed extra patience, trust, and consistency. I worked with her and taught her basic commands, and she became very responsive to me. I’m currently available for pet care any day and at flexible times throughout the week. Starting August 31, I’ll be attending school Monday through Friday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’ll still have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs. My school schedule is consistent each day, so I’m able to plan my availability reliably around it. I treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on their normal schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and have plenty of playtime and attention. I also enjoy playing with their favorite toys and getting to know their personality and routine. I understand that some pets may take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace.

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.
