About: I have had animals my whole life. Dogs especially ranging from all sizes. I am sure to pay close attention to animals needs, ensure they are eating, using the restroom, and enjoying themselves! I am happy to enrich your animal, comfort, and love on them while you are away! If you have any further questions, please let me know! I am happy to help how I can! I am currently transitioning in my career and would love to stay busy by helping you and your pets! My schedule is flexible and am happy to help in anyway that best fits your situation. I am comfortable checkin in on animals throughout the day, staying with them overnight, or stopping by to feed. Any safety measures you have I will be sure to follow diligently. Caring for an animal at my home is case dependent due to the fact that I have a cat and dog at home myself.
“Laralyn took great care of my puppy! She is very sweet and made sure my puppy had a fun time! She also corrected her when it was necessary. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Abby gave our three cats while we were away! She was attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with multi-cat households. Each update came with photos and sweet notes, which gave us total peace of mind. Our cats warmed up quickly thanks to Abby’s gentle and patient approach. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“I was happy to leave my 8-month-old puppy under Maci's care while I worked from home. It was a genuinely worry-free experience. Maci's gentle and attentive approach put me and my puppy at ease. She took the time to familiarize herself with my dog's needs and preferences beforehand, ensuring a seamless transition. With Maci, I knew my puppy was in gentle hands. When she left, my puppy was relaxed and happy, a testament to Maci's exceptional care. Thank you, Maci, for your kindness, reliability, and dedication to providing top-notch dog-sitting services!”

“Gina is great! She is super communicative, sent us a bunch of photos even after just a short drop in, and is excellent with our dogs! She made sure to come by before our booking for a meet & greet so our dogs would be comfortable with her, which was so appreciated. Gina will give your pups her full attention! Would 10/10 recommend Gina.”
“Jennifer did a great job dropping in to feed our cats and horse while out of town. Setting up a meet and greet was quick and she has been great to communicate with. I definitely recommend booking her!”
“Hannah was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, giving us regular updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about each of our pets and took exceptional care of them. When we came home, all of our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored Hannah.

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!
About: I grew up with 3 animals, I had a rat terrier who lived until she was 15 so I am able to take care of elderly dogs and german shepherd. I currently have a male puppy german shepherd, although I am not certified at training I was able to potty train my puppy and teach him to sit and stay until my command. I am currently a full time student, I have classes from 9:30am-4pm, so any time before and after that I am available. On weekends I’m more flexible. I can crate your dog if needed, I will watch the dog constantly and make sure he/she is fed and has water, while also playing with him/her and making sure they use the bathroom.
About: I grew up having a family dog (golden retriever) as well as guinea pigs. Now, my husband and I have two cats and two dogs. I do have a full-time job that is more flexible from September-May but picks up in the summer. So while I’m on my off-season I am available to help with drop-ins! I can feed them, give meds, play with them, etc. *full transparency- i do not have much experience with reactive dogs, so as long as that isnt the case I am totally able to handle your pup. I also LOVE cats! I can take care of other animals as well. I work as a property manager for a family, but summer is really when I’m busy. Fall to winter is much slower since this is a second home to them. I entertain myself by playing with my own pups and kitties! I have a fenced-in backyard which is great for playing with my pups, who would be THRILLED to have a puppy friend to play with! I feed them and my two cats twice a day and i make sure to play with my cats as well.

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.
