“Debbie was great with my maltipoo! I could tell from the pictures she sent me that he was very relaxed with her. I highly recommend her and plan to use her again soon!”
“Soo sweet and easy to book with! All my babies loved her, even my cat who’s scared of everyone and everything. She always took great care of everyone. I highly recommend!!”
“Molly did a tremendous job caring for our cat while on vacation. She has been friendly, communicative, professional, and reliable. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Sidney is the best! She takes initiative, is super understanding, and takes the best care of our puppy when we have to be away. We feel so much more comfortable leaving home when she is there to help us out. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. I’ve taken care of and handled anything from big dogs to newborn puppies, long-haired cats to barn kitties, rats, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, chickens, turtles and fish! I love every animal as if they are my own and strive to make them as happy, comfortable and loved as possible. My current schedule is extremely flexible. I always have Thursdays and Fridays open. When I do work, my shifts are only 4-6 hours at a time so I can be with your fur babies! I am well versed in animal body language. I have no issues with training, crating, and playing with many different kinds of pets! I enjoy giving your animals lots of love and attention but can also understand and respect when animals need their own personal space!
About: As a lifelong pet lover and a proud owner to a 9-year old dog, I know what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, providing focused, one-on-one attention to your furry family members within their familiar home environment. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm here to adapt to what makes them feel most secure and comfortable. I have house-sat and dog-sat multiple times for friends in the past. For walks, I prioritize safety, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing for important stimulation, and mindful of weather conditions like hot pavement, water availability, and leash safety. I use a 4 ft leash with a lead handle with my dog. For drop-ins, I prioritize feeding (if necessary), fresh water, plenty of mental stimulation, playtime, and affection. I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail and watering plants (I have a 6 ft Monstera). Caring for my large dog has required patience, observance, and consistency. Peace of mind for your pets is important, you can expect frequent photos and quick responses during each visit. I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pups. My schedule will be updated on a regular basis to match your needs. I approach slowly and accordingly to the pet's responsiveness and behavior, follow house rules, and use familiar items to keep pets feeling safe and comfortable. Close and lock doors, windows, and gates upon departure to ensure the pet's safety.
“Kristy did a very nice job with our cat. This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we were very pleased with the amount of attention she paid to him. Will definitely call her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh 😊 I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have a few years of dog-sitting experience, caring for both my own pets and my neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays. I currently work during the day, but I’m happy to help on my days off and when my schedule allows. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and I can care for multiple pets at once. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care needs. I also spend time giving attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to safety, making sure doors, leashes, and environments are secure during visits and walks. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space. I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. My dad used to train labs for retrieving pheasants as a child. I’ve always been a responsible pet owner. From rescue to full breed, puppies and seniors; large or small, all have gone through puppy training, and always up to date on any veterinary care. I’m able to administer meds and/or shots. They are not pets, but a part of our family. Our dogs are walked daily. I would love to walk and care for yours if my services are needed for your fur babies. Because I’m a stay at home dog mom, my schedule is super flexible to help with your pets needs. Walking, house sitting, transport, meds distribution. We have two dogs and two cats in our home. I’m able to walk yours, care for yours, administer meds, transport and pet sit in your home.
About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my seven -year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home the majority of the time to care for your pet. I work from home three out of five days a week, and I am available on weekends. I am in the office two days per week, However, I drive home on my lunch hour to care for our new friends. I will provide your pet with a quiet, safe environment. If you are boarding your pet with me, I will ensure they receive care tailored to their unique needs and personality
About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
About: Are you in need of someone who is trustworthy to take good care of your dog? I’m your gal! I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I know how important it is to have a reliable, loving & dependable sitter! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. Having two older & special needs dogs of our own, we are always making sure they aren’t left too long, get lots of exercise, play time and lots of attention. I have 2 small, friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We don't have a fenced in yard, but please don't worry....I NEVER let the dogs out with out having the harness and leash on. I take EXTRA caution with this, as it would be a fear of my own. Our two dogs go out several times a day - always on a leash. You fur baby would be in good hands with me!

“Heather came for a meet and greet and was so lovely and attentive. She sent photos and a description of what happened during her visits and touched base with me after my trip. She’s great!”
“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield Township
Maia went above and beyond what we asked and took wonderful care of our kitty. We really appreciated her detailed updates, including exactly what she did and how much our kitty ate, it was clear she genuinely cared about our kitty. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Jenny has been very helpful with our babies. They all seem happy and relaxed while she is around and if there is an accident Jenny is quick to clean up and the pictures from each visit show she is caring and the pups enjoy the time spent with her. Will be using Jenny for future visits.
Breean was absolutely amazing with Betty. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs, and that care showed in every detail. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and thoughtful, making sure Betty felt safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We received great updates and could tell Betty was comfortable and thriving in her care. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Betty was with someone who truly treats dogs like family. We would 100% trust Breean again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving sitter.
Taylor was exactly what I was looking for in a cat sitter. Communicative and caring in what she does. As a first time rover user, Taylor put me at ease and updated me daily on how my cat was doing. She is new to a medicine and Taylor did a great job ensuring she took her pill daily. I cant recommend her enough to watch your pets!
Jennifer was so awesome! She agreed to watch PK last minute and was so patient and nice while I figured out scheduling. She sent me several photos and updates each time she visited and was very accommodating to my separation anxiety. Jennifer is the best and will def be using her services again!

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.
