“Kirsten is always professional, reliable, and kind. She never hesitates to communicate and ask questions if necessary. We have used her before for housesitting and this visit was drop in only. As always, she was wonderful and we know this because our dogs don't even get up when we get home. They're so chill after she leaves. It's a blessing to have her and feel that our pups are happy with her.”

About: There’s nothing I won’t do for my dogs and I will treat your fur baby/ babies the same. I am reliable with a strong background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled everything from high energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I prioritize safety, love, and playtime. I always provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I know what it feels like to miss your dogs throughout the day or on trips so I can assure you, you will receive as many photos and updates as possible! I’m currently working until 7pm on weekdays, with as many breaks in between as my job is very flexible in how I take my various breaks. I wake up early for my morning workouts so if early boarding or walks are needed I’d be more than happy to accommodate! I have a fenced backyard in my home and 2 dogs who are friendly and love to cuddle as well as play. I can easily crate your dog if need be and provide multiple walks and belly rubs.

We are very grateful for her daily Rover report on our sweet Jenna as well as it seemed she even made her a puzzle that I had briefly mentioned that I would make ahead of time but was not able to as time got away from me. Thank you, Eve!”

About: Passionate about caring for your furry friend. When life happens count on me to care for your baby, I think it's important for our pets to have someone to watch them when we are away or busy. I am currently on summer break from work. I work as a part time aide at an elementary school and looking to stay busy and share my love to your pets. I am available everyday. I have a fenced backyard that they can freely roam in and can cage them if you would prefer that. I am okay with indoor dogs and would love for them to cuddle on the couch with me if that's what they like :) my main priority is for your pet to be as stress free as they can be when you are away. I have 2 friendly miniature poodles of my own(I can easily separate them, if needed).

About: I’ve always wanted a dog as a kid but my parents did not want to take care of it. Now that I’m an adult I love taking care of my dog, coco. He is a large dog and very active. He enjoys walking, playing, and getting belly rubs. I would do the same to the dogs I take care of as if it was my own. I also took care of 4 small dogs at a time for 5 years. Training, playing, feeding, and walking. I’m currently have a full time job so my availability will be right after 5pm. During weekends I’m usually available. Occasionally I have family events, but I can accommodate. I always check up on my dogs when I get home. I have an automated feeder and I created a dog door for them to come and go as they please. During the night I usually have them go into their homes to rest. But usually they free roam.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Having owned cats my entire life, I've picked up a knack for cat whisperering. I know how to read a feline's cues, respect their boundaries, and quickly earn the trust of even the shyest or sassiest cats. ​I also bring professional dog training experience to the table. allowing me to read your dogs body language and happily reinforce your puppers good habits while you’re away. ​Beyond cats and dogs, my heart has always had room for critters of all kinds. Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own. Im currently doing freelance work and can accommodate most schedules! Feel free to reach out and we'll make something work. i am sure of it! I’m detail oriented and can follow instructions to a T. I have no issues reaching out if instructions aren’t clear. Although, I am more than capable of caring for most creatures without instructions, I’d rather keep to their routines. I will make sure the only thing your pet(s) feel like is different from their schedule is that they also get my love while you’re away.

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.
