“Very professional and took great care of my cats. She made sure they were well fed and played with them. Our pets were less stressed out knowing we had a caring person to look after them while we were away..I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a great pet sitter.”
About: Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ducks, and chicks. Being around so many different animals taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing meals and fresh water, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow their specific care instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I do work full time so this is definitely more of a part time job for me :) but I will work best with you as my schedule allows! Im over the top when it comes to love and caring for animals so I will make sure to meet the necessary standards on making you feel comfortable and safe leaving your animals in my care.
“Jasmine took great care of my babies. She had great communication and sent plenty of photos to update me. I have a very shy dog and she was able to make her feel comfortable. I would definitely book again. 😃”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Big, small, young, old, special needs or playing never ending fetch, I love all dogs and they always have a special place in my heart. I’m very patient and down for anything your four-legged needs. Currently, I’m in between jobs, so I am available to care for your babies whenever you need me. I’m happy to take walks, play, swim or just hang out with your dogs. Each dog is different and making sure that you’re present and ready for whatever is the key to making sure our dogs have the best care. That definitely extends to the way I care for my friends’ and clients’ animals. I know how to work with animals that need more patience and/or care, plus my focus is to make sure that your dog is relaxed instead of stressed when you come home.
“Sara is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. My 2 little ones liked her from the very first meeting. She came twice a day to feed, play and let them outside. I was so relieved on my trip and knew I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend her.🥰🐶🐶”
“We only needed them temporarily but they did a great job taking care of our fur baby and making sure he had plenty of attention and exercise in the middle of the day.”
“Tamara took care of Sunny while I took a vacation. She spent the time and walked him as much as possible. Very happy with Sunny upon my return, all looked good in my home. This was my first time using Tamara and I will use her again if she is available.”
“The most kind and caring looking in after our dogs and cat. The concerns I had about our critters peculiarities were handled confidently and easily. The photos and hilarious regular updates made us feel sure they were in good hands.”
About: I previously worked as a veterinary technician at Texas A&M’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in the Small Animal ICU. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including senior and special-needs pets, and I have experience administering both oral and injectable medications. I also have experience providing ongoing in-home pet care for private clients, including caring for multiple pets at once. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and getting to know their individual personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. 🐾 Pet sitting is currently my primary work, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day and evening, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether they need a quick potty break, a walk, feeding and medication, or some extra playtime and company, I’d love to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my previous veterinary technician experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different medical, behavioral, and individual needs. I follow your instructions and routines closely and pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that may seem unusual. I’m also happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your babies are being well cared for while you’re away!

Inside my home, there’s a dedicated, pet-friendly area set up to ensure a calm and secure environment, complete with cozy resting spots, pet gates, and plenty of enrichment. My home is fully pet-proofed, and I can easily accommodate pets who are crate trained or have specific routines.

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.
