“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Olivia was great! We had her come over twice a day while we were away to feed our adult cat and new kitten. She went above and beyond with updates, photos, and extra tasks like cleaning the litterbox. I know our cats were well cared for and we felt safe with Olivia coming by. Thanks again!”
About: I'm a former emergency veterinary technician from the University of Florida who loves all animals, but especially dogs! I graduated UF with a degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation but did Animal Sciences for 4 years before switching. I'm good with dogs of all sizes, am firm but still a good playmate, and am comfortable working with dogs both healthy and special needs (dog needs to take a pill? I've got you covered!) If an emergency situation comes up, you can count on me to keep your dog safe. I have a dog of my own who keeps me very active so you won't have to worry about your pooch out running me! Have other pets? No problem! I've worked with all animals, cats, birds (have my own!), reptiles, fish, rodents, you name it! My schedule is flexible so long as I am given time beforehand to coordinate! I am currently in between jobs and am very available, with a reliable car for transportation. I always prefer to meet my clients and their pets beforehand that way I can get a good understanding of what is expected and what I should anticipate. I cannot board animals at my home but am more than happy to come to yours!
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“We love booking Emily and her husband to take care of our cat Lola whenever we travel. They are always punctual, and make sure they spend lots of time giving her attention. When we come home, Lola is in great spirits!”
About: My experience in pet care began at 15 years old when I took some neighbors dogs for walks. The types of dogs I walked were a greyhound, a collie and an Australian shepherd. My next petcare job was the summer after my junior in college when I cat sat a persian named Mimi for a professor who went on a long vacation. Mimi was sad when her owner left, but I gave her lots of love, and we formed a strong bond. The summer after I pet sat a great dane and an american bulldog, and they were big teddy bears and lap dogs. Sometimes they would even sleep at my feet at night. Years later towards the winter of 2014, I pet sat for a client later turned friend who travelled 3 months to Antartica for his job. His furry companions were a black named Fred and a golden named Ginger: both of them what I called the sweetest dogs in the world. I did everything there is to pet sitting and even took them to the vet for a regular check-up and the groomers. It was around this time I lost my main job I had and was very distraught. They sensed this and they did things like come upstairs to check on me to see if I was ok, sit on my lap and watch tv with me, shower me with lots of doggie kisses, sleep by my side or by my feet in bed etc. I joined Rover in late 2018, and I had a handful of families that made me their designated pet sitter because of the quality care and love I give. Their pets actually got sad (and so did I) when I had to leave after their owners returned, but were enthusiastic when I arrived to care for them again. During 2019-early 2023, I worked for a pet care company called Becky's Pet Care where I cared for a plethora of animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and chickens. However, due to their failure of maintaining health and safety standards of employees, I decided to branch out on my own and rejoin Rover. I have several clients and hope to get a few more clients because caring for animals is extremely rewarding. They are my best friends. NOTE ABOUT MY RATES: -For doggie walks and drop in visits my rates are $15 for a 20 minute visit, $25 for a 30, $35 for a 45 and $50 for an hour and beyond. I also offer in-home pet sitting, and my rates are on my profile. I will stay with your animals for the majority of the day and only leave if I have other dog walks/drop in visits, to do the trivia shows I host Wednesdays, or to drive for Uber and Lyft for a few hours on the days I don't have my shows. -I do not charge extra for multiple pets when it comes to dog walks and drop in visits, however, I ask you be realistic on how long you think a timed visit will take. For example: feeding and walking two dogs, then feeding cats and scooping their litter boxes will take longer than 20 minutes. I do charge extra for additional pets when it comes to staying over, but it's only $10 for each additional dog and $5 for each additional cat. If you have multiple animals where it's something like one dog and two cats, then I will $50 for the dog and $5 for each cat. -I DO NOT charge extra if your fur baby is...well...a puppy. Lol. Puppies are a riot: full of energy and lots of love. I know some pet care professionals do, but I don't. -I DO NOT charge extra if your dog has special needs. Guess what? I do too!! I have tremendous anxiety sometimes and have to exercise. Other people might charge extra, but I don't. -I sometimes request to be paid half up front if its an EXREMELY long pet sitting request. You can simply leave a check or cash on a table for me when I arrive to start pet sitting for you. With that said, I send lots of photos, videos and texts through the WhatsApp or through text, even without a request, so you know your furbabies are well taken care of. I'm currently working for myself and can easily fit taking excellent care of your furbabies into my schedule. In fact, I may be working for myself for a while. I drive for Uber and Lyft. I will take care of your furbabies like the cuddly precious angels they are. I will only give them food and treats you approve. I will make sure they get proper exercise and will give them lots of love. I will also make sure there's no aggressive rough housing if you have more than one dog. Or even cat.

Leila was AMAZING. I really appreciated how she was able to communicate with me so much as she checked in with Lola! This was my first time leaving her by herself so that check in with Leila was much needed. I am literally rebooking her right now! Leila thank you so much for making Lola feel special and really paying attention to her needs while you were there! Lola will see you soon 💖
Gabriela has built a great relationship with my two dogs. They totally enjoy her and are excited to see her every time. Gabriela is the only one I have been able to trust with my pets since I’ve moved them here. Her availability is always convenient and she always gives great updates during the day. We are so appreciative her services.
We cannot thank Megan enough for the great care she gave to our pets for 6 days so we could Enjoy our time at the beach - and these weren't normal pets! She loved on our bearded dragon, fed him bugs, gave him Showers (which makes him go to the bathroom haha). She also cared for our aquatic frog. She brought in mail. She sent photos. She was on time every day. We will definitely always hire Megan to care for our family pets. We didn't worry about them one second. Thank you so much Megan!
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!

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.
