About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. It’s safe to say I am deeply passionate about animals and have dedicated my career to wildlife conservation. I spent over 15 years in horse barns and have my own horse and two cats. I can provide all animal care needs for your pet, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and medication administration if needed. Beyond the care of my own pets since childhood, I have taken care of friends and clients pets that have included overnight stays and daily check ins. These pets have included cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, and cows. Services have ranged from daily feeding to medication administration 5x a day. I’m also more than comfortable cleaning litter boxes, crates, bowls, stalls, etc.! My availability is very flexible. I work remotely for a non-profit, so I can work from anywhere! I’m open to early morning to late evenings depending on your pet’s needs. Overall, I am dedicated to giving the best care to pets while their owners travel to ensure not only the pets are comfortable and well cared for, but you as a owner feel confident your pet is receiving the best care at home! I work full-time remotely, so I am very flexible for visiting or staying overnight based on your pets needs. I can visit up to two times a day if needed. I’m comfortable with almost every animal care need and happy to follow any/all instructions for your pet in your home. I can text, call and/or send photos from every visit to ensure open communication.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, ranging from all sizes of dogs, cats, a pig and various others. I am currently unable to have animals while I'm at school (for conservation!), and so I am hoping to care for others while I'm here. Beyond being skilled in animal care, I am also very active, and willing to be patient for any speed companion. I'm currently a masters student and will have plenty of time for furry adventures! My weekends are open, and I am willing to work out any potential work conflicts to benefit you and your animals. I am also available anytime in the evening/night for potential emergencies. As I will likely be in your home, consistent and clear communication is the easiest way for everyone to have clear understanding of the expectations of my service for clarity and safety.
About: With having a profession in animal care and living with dogs and cats my entire life, I have lots of experience taking care of pets. I, regularly, handle very friendly and very unfriendly/anti-social dogs and cats, which is very fun for me! I work full-time taking care of animals, but will be available after hours for at least a few hours most days and have most of Friday and Saturday available. I do not offer services in my own home, but I am able to offer every service in yours. I can walk, play with, and just interact with your animals in whatever way you need and if they do not socialize in those types of ways, that's alright too!
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old, and caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets by feeding them, letting them out for potty breaks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience rescuing and fostering dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and helping each dog feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m now the proud owner of Moose, my 4.5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, who gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. Having a dog of my own has taught me so much about providing consistent, attentive care and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give every pet a loving, safe, and fun experience! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I love spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I prioritize being reliable and flexible so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Whether it's a morning walk, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy making time to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care needs. I also believe communication is important, so I love sending updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, loved, and at home!

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
