About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 18, and I treat every pet like they're my own. As a licensed counselor specializing in anxiety and emotional well-being, I'm patient, attentive, and sensitive to each pet's unique needs. I've cared for cats, Dachshunds, Beagles, poodles, and other wonderful furry friends. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home—with plenty of playtime, tail wags, and belly rubs along the way! I work from home and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I'm available throughout the day and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet's routine. I understand that afternoon visits are often preferred, and I'm happy to prioritize that time whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they need. I'm committed to providing care that's tailored to your pet's individual needs. Whether that means crating them according to your instructions, ensuring they always have fresh food and water, sticking to their normal routine, or simply creating a calm and comfortable environment, I'll make sure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide them with the same love, attention, and compassion they receive at home.

“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. 😊”

About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well
“Hillary has been such a big help to our family. As first time puppy parents, she has made this process so much smoother for us. Not only was she reliable, but very prompt in her responses, and reassuring with her updates and pictures. Thank you Hillary!”
“Katie is wonderful! Kept us informed all through her visits, our big dog had issues with her bowels and Katie never missed a beat with it. Very conscientious with the girls welfare and happiness.”
About: I've worked at a few different animal hospitals as a kennel tech and receptionist. I grew up having lots of dogs and kitties. We also have a small family farm. We grew up taking care of goats, chickens, turkeys and any other farm bird you can think of. I've trained a few of my past dogs growing up. I also have experience giving animals meds, bathing, nail cutting and I love going on walks! Always respectful of your home and your pets and I have great references to back that up! :) I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies! I work in an office, Monday - Friday, from 8am to 5pm. I am free weekends. I’m a homebody that enjoys crafting, watching movies and hanging with the animals. While I’m with your animal, I try to show them a lot of love and care because I know the stress it can cause when your pet is away from its owner. So I try to be extra caring and like to give a few extra treats and cuddles while you are away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12 years old, where I was relied on to feed, walk, and play with many breeds of dogs. Since then, I have also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, and have been a designated dog walker for the past 6 months. I have experience fostering puppies as well! I am currently a law student and am hoping to walk/dog sit when I am not in class. I can easily hang out or with your dogs in the afternoons and/or weekends! I am very experienced with dog sitting and have spent weeks at a time dog sitting for others overnight. I am happy to take your dogs on multiple walks a day, play with them, and feed them. I will also follow every instruction you give extremely carefully!
About: One of my biggest joys in life are animals. Every chance I get, I look after the pets of family and friends. I have been watching my grandmas 2 dogs when they go out of town for about 2 years. I have friends who ask me regularly to look after their furry friends for days to weeks at a time. Ive dealt with puppies, animals in need of medication, and non-Potty trained animals. I have stayed night at houses or just stopped by regularly depending on what you prefer. I have worked with pit bulls down to chihuahua's. Aside from just pets I also volunteer at a horse rescue which had an abundance of animals and i have learned a great amount from that experience. Not to mention I have 6 animals of my own (4 cats, 2 dogs) whom I love dearly. I currently work Part-Time at ALDI as a Store Associate. We stay relatively overstaffed therefore i get a maximum of 20 hours a week, leaving me with plenty of time with your pets! Safety is always number one when it comes to all pets im responsible for. I prioritize the wellbeing an an animal as i do myself. For example, At my house we have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play but when my dog was a puppy, she would jump the fence. Therefore i would prioritize letting her out with a leash in the back yard to prevent her from getting harmed off our property.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Jack was a great pet companion!! He spent lots of quality time with my dog Lilly, and Lilly looked forward to his every visit. He would also let me know if I was running low on any of Lilly’s supplies. I highly recommend him and will use him again if I need a sitter. He also was great at taking in any packages that arrived during the day so they didn’t sit outside until I came home after work.
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!
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.
I had such a wonderful experience with my Rover sitter, Qin! She took amazing care of my cat Mimi while I was away. Every single day, she arrived right on time, made sure Mimi was well-fed, spent quality time with him, and kept everything clean—including his litter box and any little messes. What really stood out to me was how thoughtful and helpful she was beyond just pet care. She even helped bring back my trash can and kept an eye on the yard, which I truly appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mimi was in such caring and reliable hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that means everything to me. I absolutely loved her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!
I hesitate to review Mason because I’m worried she will become so popular that I won’t be able to book her in the future. She is a great communicator and very dependable. I know that my cats will be just as loved and cared for when she visits as if I were home to do so myself! Mason also takes the best pictures (like straight up glamour shots) to send - clearly my cats love her too. I can’t say enough good things about 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.

Jordyn is a wonderful house and pet sitter. We have used her many times and plan to in the future. She watch our senior cat while away for the holidays and checked in everyday giving us piece of mind while away and our cat is very shy but loves her. Highly recommend!!!!!

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.
