About: I’ve been caring for and surrounded by animals my whole life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or just getting extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I work from home most days, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office and am home by 5:00 p.m. I enjoy staying active with the dogs and usually take them for a walk after dinner. Since I’m home most of the week, they’ll also have plenty of time to play, relax, and go outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play, and they’re welcome on the furniture and free to make themselves comfortable in my home. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. I want your dog’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible.

“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She came over beforehand to meet Koda, which gave me such peace of mind. She was incredibly reliable and kept me updated on when she would arrive and how each drop-in visit went. She spent time playing with Koda and sent me the sweetest pictures, which I loved receiving! She even went above and beyond by bringing in an Amazon package that had been delivered while I was away. I truly appreciated how thoughtful and dependable she was. I highly recommend Kelley and will definitely be using her again in the future! ❤️”

“Cody did a Great job, our dog just Loved him from the very first moment! As a pet owner, all we want is our dog to be safe and happy when we are not there, and we could not be any happier with Cody’s pawfessionalism!! Thank you ?”

About: My entire life I’ve had the blessing to care for pets. From my Rottweiler Roxie, to my sweet kitty Nala, I’ve learned what to look for to provide the best care to my animals. I’ve also had extensive training in caring for livestock. During my undergrad I spent three years as a pig farmer and I loved every minute of it. I’m hoping to work most days after 3pm but no later than 10pm. I have some flexibility on most weekends. Would prefer mornings during the weekend but I am flexible. I have a fenced in yard that my cat likes to explore in. I also have a laundry room that can be used to separate my cat from any of your animals if needed.
About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
“Makayla is super reliable, I loved working with her!! She’s super responsive, responsible and she will look after your pet with love and care. I highly recommend her services!”

At night I make sure to give each one alone time with me before bed so they don't get jealous of eachother
About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!

About: Each and every dog is treated like our own. We adore being able to share the love with our borrowed fur babies. Weather permitting the dogs are taken on two longer walks with as many potty breaks as needed between walks. Please let us know any special needs your friend may have and where your fur baby prefers to sleep. I work from home so the work breaks that caring for the dogs(whether it be feeding, walking or just playing) are welcome. Most always there is a dog laying at my feet while I work keeping me company. I have a multi level house with plenty of space for the dogs. They can find their place to sprawl out to nap, find a good place to roughhouse, or do a good session of rope pulling or ball toss I also have a very large fenced in deck to allow them to get some fresh air, play or sit by a fire at night with us
“First time coming to meet our pups and couldn’t be happier. Super friendly and the pups already love him. Easy to work with will definitely purely be a repeat customer. Thanks Kevin the pups can’t wait til the next 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 .

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.
