“Hunter was communicative and very responsible. He replied to my request immediately as well as follow up messages. He was prompt and did exactly what we had discussed. I'll definitely use Hunter again.”
“We had a great experience with Mike!! Could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter. He was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated and responding promptly to messages. He shared lots of photos and followed all instructions, making sure our dog received care and attention. She can be a handful sometimes :). He even called when we ran out of food on the last day, to see how we wanted to handle that. It’s clear that Mike genuinely cares about the pets he looks after and he gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We will absolutely use his services again. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Mike!! 🐾🤩”
About: I am a reliable and compassionate dog sitter/walker with a very flexible schedule. I have worked with all kinds of pets, from Shih tzsus to German Shepherds, as well as puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I believe dogs enjoy my calm yet present presence. I am an online college student and have a very flexible schedule right now for house sitting, walks or check-ins. I would love to take care of your dogs or cats! Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize their comfort and well being. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and energy levels, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I also enjoy cozying up with pets during quiet downtime and playing calm music to help create a relaxing atmosphere. My goal is to provide a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away, and I am happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind. I am also respectful of clients' homes, keeping spaces clean and tidy and leaving everything as I found it.
“Keilyn did great with our 2 dogs. She came and checked on them while we were gone on a short family trip. She loved on them and made sure they had food and water while we were gone. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amanda went above and beyond my expectations during her drop in visit. She was very helpful, communicative, patient,And as a plus she takes adorable photos. Would highly recommend Amanda to care for your fur babies.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm and have dog sat for friends and family since I was 12. I have both experienced training a puppy of my own and also taking care of a senior dog. I like being active and outside so I would love to take you dogs for walks and play with them while you are gone. I have 1 dog of my own, she is a very energetic cane corso! I’m currently a college student so I have a very flexible schedule with 2 hours in between some of my classes. On weekdays I would mostly be available for drop in’s. To let your pets outside and play with them until I need to get back school. Fridays and weekends I am completely free. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have lots of land so I trained my dog with an invisible fence so she knows not to wonder off with a human with her. My dog does have her own room that acts as a crate.
“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”

About: I'm honest, dependable, caring, kind and very experienced caregiver to animals with all sorts of needs. I tend to like animals more than humans, if I watch your dogs or cats, its likely I will also take out your trash and do your dishes because I'm like that. I'm currently retired, however I travel quite a lot, but when I'm not travelling, I have 100% availability 7 days a week and all hours. Pets tend to do well with routine, thus I would stay on whatever your pet's routine usually is... if your dog is active that is a +++ as we rarely sit at home and do nothing, but oif your pet likes to just be home then we can do that as well.
About: I always take care of friends/family pets and am the go to person. I am looking to expand my skills working with animals in communities! I do work full time, but am looking to fit in walks or drop in services and sitting when available with notice ahead of time. Depending on my schedule, times may vary, but I am always available for a chat to see if a service can be fit in! I am available to drop in or stay in your home for your pet. I am very detailed oriented and follow any instructions for them!
About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience, work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

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 .

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.
