About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.
“Iomar was fantastic ! We are so grateful she was able to come play with our pups and kitty, the pictures were great and a lot of fun. They looked so thoroughly happy and joyful to have Iomar visit, it’s obvious they adore her. Definitely we will book again <3”
“Lisa was communicative and friendly. My cat absolutely loved her and I loved the updates I got every day. Would very highly recommend!! She went above and beyond to do an amazing job.”
“Jack has done an amazing job with Lilly! She is usually really shy with new people, but she took to Jack almost instantly. He is very loving with her and cuddles with her, which is one of her favorite things. He is also helpful with things like bringing in packages left at the front door which is incredibly helpful for keeping packages secure and out of the heat. 😊”
About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter and the furions absolutely love her! Repeat clients and the amount of at ease I feel while traveling with Natianna is a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for everything again!”
“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”
“Savannah did such an amazing job taking care of our sweet Rocco! He is a big boy with some medical issues and she catered to him and made sure he got his meds! Would definitely use her again and recommend others to her!”
“Very sweet and caring with my babies Allie and Loki. She took lots of good pictures while we were gone and gave one of my cats meds to! Highly recommend her and trust her with any future visits. :)”
“Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She came yesterday, spent quality time with him, and put a lot of effort into making sure he was fed properly. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the time and dedication she showed, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I need a dog sitter last minute and Katherine was responsive and able to take care of my dog. I received lots of updates and Katherine remained in communications about when she visited and how her visits went. I would highly recommend Katherine as a pet sitter. She was just great.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years! All types of animals as well. I have taken care of high energy dogs like Huskies, and Belgian Malinois. I also have grown up with dogs that can be aggressive and dogs with anxiety. I can administer medication, take them for long walks and play with them thoroughly. I’m working full time but a flexible schedule. I’m usually working mid day with an hour break. And I can adjust my schedule with notice in advance to work around your pets needs. I will gladly play with your pets in a backyard, take them for long walks, play with them inside etc. My pets are like my kids and I will treat yours as such!
“Melanie is great! She took good care of our cat and communicated well with detailed daily updates. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Hannah did a wonderful job with my two large dogs. They loved Hannah and we loved her communication with us. We knew when Hannah was at our home and received pictures and an update from each visit. It was comfortable for the dogs to stay home and have such a friendly and responsible person visit them.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Addison has watched my cats several times, and I can always count on her. She's readily available, accommodating with scheduling, and follows instructions. She sends frequent updates, so I never have to wonder how things are going. My cats are always relaxed and happy when I get home. I highly recommend Addison to any pet owner!
No worries, Joseph helped us out in everything we asked. He was professional, timely and detail oriented [if we asked him, he took care of a task], he has a nice affinity and gentle nature that pairs well with animals. When we returned home from vacation, everything was as if we only left moments ago. That is a truly wonderful feeling.
Samantha was amazing and took great care of my cat while I was away. She was very attentive to water and litter changes and sent multiple photos of her each day. Samantha made sure to give my cat space when she was feeling shy and I was very grateful to have her.
We’ve had Jessica watch our 2 cats twice now and she’s absolutely wonderful! She gives one of our cats a pill every night, makes sure they have food, water, and lots a cuddles and pets for the time she is there. We love having her watch our cats and would highly recommend. She even helped me out when a package was delivered in our mailbox and pick it up for me! We will definitely be hiring her for future watches. 😊

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.
