About: I’m a vet tech, I work with all types of animals, I can do toe nail trims, give baths, and give medications. I start vet school in the fall and am looking for extra cash I work at a vet clinic until end of July before vet school. I can do walks/house/pet sitting working around that schedule for now. For fall I would not be able to be house/pet sitting all day, but I can do before and after classes. Whatever the client needs is what I’ll do. Whether it is medications, baths, toe nail trims. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I will do in place of your absence!
“Meadow was lovely. She was so patient with us and the dogs. All three of the dogs really liked her. She asked all the right questions to make sure she knew how to keep the dogs in routine while she's caring for them. We look forward to working with her again soon!”
“Super great with Leo! Went above and beyond to make sure my nervous little cat was taken care of while I was gone and even watered a few plants for me I had forgotten about. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter”
“Sarah took such good care of my doggos! She left plenty of feedback and sent pictures through the visits! ❤️ She even handled my timid dog very well. I am so glad they were in good hands while I was away!!”
“Jillian was very pleasant and conscientious. You can tell she loves animals. She contacted and sent pictures every day. I did not worry about my dogs with Jillian taking care of them. She did a great job.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from hedgehogs to special needs dogs. Never have I found a challenge that I couldn’t overcome I’m a college student with only a couple of classes every day, none of which would interfere with caring for an animal I have been put in charge of I know from personal experiences that keeping your pet in their own environment Is always better than dragging them out somewhere new, whether I’m staying the night, or just popping in a couple times during the day we’ll be best friends by the end of day 1
About: I am a huge animal lover and have grown up around them my entire life. At present, I am taking care of five dogs at home (basically a mini-shelter!) and am looking to add a sixth. My beagle mix rescue that I’ve most recently adopted and trained goes on daily adventures with me, whether it be on long hikes outdoors or on brief excursions to Starbucks for a pup cup. Whenever my friends or family need someone to dog-sit, I am often their first choice, and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds, ranging in size from the small maltese to the large malinois. When it comes to taking care of your pets, a top priority for me is safety: I will make sure that they are properly leashed when walking and are well taken care of at home. I have completed multiple training courses and am familiar with how to handle reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and stubbornness in dogs as well as cats. Having recently graduated college, I have plenty of time available for dog walking and pet-sitting. I look forward to helping, so please feel free to reach out! I care for pets with a realistic mindset. It takes a while for them to create a bond with a new person. I will be calm, give them treats and show them affection to create a bond with your best friend.
About: I have cared for many different animals over the years. This list includes cats, reptiles, fish, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, and xl dogs. These animals have been my own as well as friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s, as they knew I would tend to them with the utmost care. My specialties include working with deaf, blind, anxious and senior animals. My philosophy for caring for any animal is to respect their boundaries and help them feel the most comfort possible. I am currently working at a part time work from home job, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can come morning to evening to care for you pets. I am available to overnight care any day of the week as well. In my clients home: Check ins would include tending to anything outlined by the pet owner, and being sure to give the animal as much pets and playing as they would like. Overnight care would be the same as far as tending to the outlined instructions. Since it is overnight, if there is a certain nighttime routine it would be accomplished. Before I left I would also make sure I have picked up and cleaned up behind myself (ie. fluffing pillow cushions, throwing away trash, washing dishes, etc) In my home Care would be the same as listed above. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, there is plenty of walking space for them to enjoy being outside. I do have a yard if they just need to potty but not go on a long walk.
About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including my own dogs, bunny, and fish, as well as others’ cats and dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable supporting pets of all ages, from playful puppies to more sensitive seniors. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. As a full-time school psychology graduate student at OSU, I intentionally and consistently incorporate pet care into my weekly routine. My class and assistantship schedule gives me predictable blocks of time throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular check‑ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I balance my academic work with pet care by planning, maintaining a structured routine, and ensuring every pet receives focused attention and a calm, reliable presence. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make sure they always have fresh water, a tidy litter box, and a comfortable place to relax. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior so pets feel understood and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I create a peaceful, predictable environment where pets can feel safe, cared for, and genuinely at ease.
“I booked with Taylor super short notice because of an emergency and she was able to accommodate and fit me into her schedule. Took great care of my dog when I couldn’t be there. Went the extra mile.”
“Katherine was so awesome!! She made sure our dog was taken good care of over a holiday weekend. She was so professional and easy to work with. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
“Skylar was fantastic!! Po is usually very shy and she just loved Skylar, and so did Pumpkin. Skylar spent time with them and communicated with us daily. You can trust that your pets are in the best care with Skylar!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Perkins stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
