About: I’ve had and taken care of many different breeds and sizes over my life time of dogs as well as special needs and cats too! I typically wake up around 7-8. Go to the gym sometime within the day but other than that I’m free to watch your babies and take good care of them. I have a really friendly dog who is no more than 20 pounds and a fenced in yard if I watch them at my house. If at someone else house I have plenty of experience with that too and can do all that will be asked.
About: I have been taking care of my dogs since i was 10. I've given dogs shots and pilled them, fed them, made sure they had water and can walk dogs every couple of hours i am currently working a part time job and I can easily schedule my job around when you need me. I love playing with dogs no matter the size. I can cuddle and bathe your dogs if needed. I love spending times with new dogs and getting to know their personality. I have four dogs of my own and they are very needy. I love cuddling with dogs and making sure they are as comfy as I am.
About: Hello! I've grown up with dogs most of my life. As I've gotten older, I've ben dog/cat sitting for friends and family, and would love to help take care of you fur babies! I also run often so if your dog needs a more active outing, it would be no problem for me. Working from home allows me to provide constant, attentive care throughout the day. I build my schedule around your pet’s existing routine—ensuring feeding, walks, and potty breaks happen right on time. Plus, with 20+ years of pet care experience, I'm deeply familiar with handling all types of personalities, age groups, and special needs, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Every pet is different, and with each one, love and dedication to their health and overall well-being in my priority while they are in my care.
About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.
“Lacole was amazing with our doggo! She was amazing with communication, always there when she said she would be and be super engaged with our dog! 10 out 10 definitely recommend! She we be the first person we think of if we have to go on a trip again :)”
“100/10 stars! Kyle was absolutely amazing for our crew! We booked with him last minute & around Christmas time! With 3 dogs, we were slightly worried if he'd be able to handle it, but he handled everything seamlessly & with grace! The dogs instantly were instantly comfortable around him too, and our cat, who is VERY shy, even came out of hiding too! Kyle went ABOVE & BEYOND what we asked & we couldn't have felt more comfortable! He is very knowledgeable & super trust worthy! We will not be using any other sitter ever again! Praying he keeps us! Haha 😊”
“Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about Jamie and what an amazing and wonderful sitter she is. Rover only allows me to give 5 stars but she is worth so much more. She is so caring and loving to your animal and so responsible and attentive to not only your pet, but your home and all that goes with it. Our boy absolutely adores her as do we! Oh, and she takes fantastic pictures and A LOT of them. That along with a very detailed and thorough rover report card make travel and being away from your pet so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously, if you are looking for a sitter book her! I promise that you can't do better.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since before I was 10 years old. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and have raised a lab and pit of my own. My family and friends have always felt comfortable relying on me for the care of their animals! There’s no pup too big or too small around here I’m fully free for whatever the babies need throughout the day. I usually let them out about every hour until we go to bed. Let me know your schedule and we would be glad to keep them on their routine We have a fully fenced in yard that spans about an acre we also have a doggy door they could go in and out if they would like and we have two of our own dogs here both big babies I have my 3 year old brown and white pit mix and our 5 year old brown pit mix who loves to be anybody and everybody's friend
“Tessa did such a great job taking care of my dog & cat! She sent lots of pictures so I could see them while I was out of town and was very communicative. Will definitely hire her again! Thanks, Tessa! 😊”
About: Ive taken care of animals since I was 11. Ive had animals that range from hamsters to horses and alpacas. I have experience medicating, bathing and general care. I have worked with horses in a professional capacity. I am currently between chapters in my life. I'll have plenty of time to pop in and help out! Cant wait to meet all the lovely darlings! Understanding animal behavior is a huge part of my care. Different species, individual animals, all have various needs and methods of communication. I do my best to follow all instructions from you, while also respecting each critter's individual communications in the moment.
About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. During the school year I am available but not as frequently. I go to school in Georgia so am available to dog sit in that area from August through May. I am back in Virginia during the summer so my location can vary based on the time of year. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.
“Samantha is great!! She takes her time to learn your animal’s specific personality and needs. I felt like my cat was good hands. Really went above and beyond to make our Rover experience a good one. We will be having Samantha back again !”
“Angie was awesome with our fur babies. On time very informative about what's going on with her visit. Paying attention to both while outside. We enjoyed the pictures she sent an was set at ease seeing they were happy in her care. Will be definitely use her again.”
“Where do I start? I loved Gwen and CC. From the minute we met them at the meet and greet, I knew they were wonderful. As we sat and talked, they loved on both our pups - who fell asleep while being petted - and they were so sad to see them go. We received pictures and updates and the house looked perfect when we got home (nicer than when we left it!) They are true dog lovers and it showed with how they took care of our boys. We will absolutely be using them again - and again.”
“Jamison did a drop-in visit for our 6 month old pup. She visited for a meet and greet beforehand and followed my lengthy list of instructions as a paranoid dog mom. Would use 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 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.
