“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was younger and continue to pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they need someone they can trust. I also have fur babies of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for walks and drop-in visits after work around 6:00 PM. On weekends, I have much more flexibility to spend quality time with pets through walks, runs, playtime, and adventures. I make time every day to care for my own pets, and I enjoy relaxing, playing, and keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pet receives the same love, attention, and care as my own.

“Deann was my first sitter from Rover and she exceeded my expectations. She cared for my dog as if it was her own. I'm forever grateful and will continue to use Deann as my sitter.”

“Stefani has been a literal life saver! She was able to help me out in short notice with checking in and walking Hazel. She even was gracious enough to let me extend an extra day. Hazel absolutely loved getting to play with her little one and enjoy some attention while I was out of town on a business trip. I can not express enough how much I appreciate Stefani and her family for taking the time to go see my little Hazel butt. She took such a huge stressor off my plate. 10/10. Will most definitely be using Stefani again if I am ever in need of someone to watch my dog.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.
About: I have been in love with animals since I was a baby. I grew up in a dog loving household. I have always had pets as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, turtles, mice, fish, hermit crabs. My goal is to one day have a goat and a pig as well. I worked in a pet store that wolf puppies for 3 years and my primary job there was to take care of the puppies and to teach the perspective new families to potty train their new babies and what to expect for their specific breeds. I have also helped my parents train all of their dogs and sit for them when on vacation. It’s a full house but I love it. I currently work but have time in the afternoons and weekends to walk or check on your fur babies and let them go outside and play or just stretch their legs out of the kennel, whatever the needs may be. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play and a very friendly playful golden doodle that loves new friends. He gets along with all sizes and ages of dogs. My families dogs range from 3 lb yorkie to 90 lb golden doodle and a few in between. My baby is in his bedroom (kennel) when we are not home, one of my parents dogs does not require a kennel when we are not there so I do not require it as long as they are potty trained and do not chew.
“Tisha was very helpful with the booking process and helped work through some technical issues with the site. When she arrived was very professional dogs took to her right away did a great job with them. Was vert pleasant to talk with will use her again”

“Samantha was a blessing. I had another pet sitter taking care of my sisters cats and she unfortunately ran into some car issues so i had to find another pet sitter right away. Samantha responded to my request quickly and was able to help me with only one day notice!”
About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years now and just LOVE animals. Some of my own pets have had medical issues (seizures, blindness, heart issues) so I am very familiar with how to care with not only healthy pets but ones with medical needs as well. We have fostered puppies for a local rescue, so we are also familiar with how to handle the hyper activity of a new family member. I have a full time job, but we do come home during lunch to check on our babies and take them out to potty. We are usually home all evening so your fur baby will not be alone after we get out of work. If you are looking into my dog walking services, that can be completed right after work, for however long you need the services. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs are never left outside unattended. My wife and I care deeply about our own dogs and would put the same care and love into your dogs as well. Our dogs are not crate trained and are allowed to roam the house during the day, but we could crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
About: Hello all! I’m Ebony and I would love to take care of your pet. I have taken care of my pets and others’ pets for over 30 years. I am adaptable and very reliable. I can handle an older pet or a young one. I have a very open schedule and with proper notice I can be available but I am also available for unexpected/last minute visits. I normally go on long walks and runs so I welcome active dogs. I am all about making your pet feel comfortable and safe when I am with them. I have a pet so I understand these furry ones are like our children and I will treat them with care
About: I like to give the dogs I care for all the attention they want and need. I am very active myself and can be relied on to run your dog in a safe manner. I have taught my friends and families dogs how to behave on a leash. I genuinely love being with dogs and just hanging out. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! My daily routine usually includes weightlifting, jujitsu, or swimming at a lap pool. I am an early bird & am willing to walk/run most dogs. I am very attentive to client's pets and behaviors. I think it's important to maintain routine for the pets and am happy to abide by your expectations of their care.
“Juanita was amazing! She went above and beyond and all our dogs warmed up to her instantly. Will definitely be regular clients. The pictures she took of our three boys were super cute too and great for peace of mind when we are so far away.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life ever since I was young. I took courses to become a vet assistant a while back. Let me be your help. I’m currently a full time college student and have morning classes. I will be able to pet sit and take animals for walks often. I’m available on weekends and holidays. I have pet sit for other people. I’ve checked in on the puppies and fed, watered, and let them put to go potty. I would also take them on walks and give them treats. :)

About: Growing up, my household always had pets. I had a wide range of dog breeds from a Rottweiler to a Yorkie. In addition to my love and experience with dogs, I would take care of a multiple cat household through the years. I have a huge soft spot for animals and would love to help take care of yours. I am currently a full-time student so pet care fits in well with my schedule. I am able to commit to these pets in between my class schedule. I care for pets by first fulfilling any and all requests and instructions left by a pet owner. No one knows a pet better than their owner! Second, I learn to read a pet and what signals I can pick up through their habits and actions.

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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
