“For the first time ever we were able to travel without worry for our two Great Pyrenees. Melissa is so kind and caring, her empathy and love for dogs was apparent immediately. She is extremely competent and thoughtful, we received multiple photos of our pups and other farm animals. She even sent photos of locked gates! We returned home to happy & healthy pups, horses, and cattle. I trust Melissa immensely with our beloved pets and hope to work with her again in the future!”
“Charles took wonderful care of my old man. He was on top of communication, great about meeting ahead of time to go over the details, and sent me a picture of my happy guy after his visit.”
“Trena was incredible. Showed up to check in on our dogs on time, made sure the dogs were taken care of and fed, and went above and beyond washing the dishes their food was in. We absolutely trust that our dogs are in good hands with her.”
“Jenna was amazing! I am so thankful I found her😁 She took great care of my dog, sent amazing reports and photos, and eased the anxiety I felt at leaving for a trip. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment booking with Jenna!!!”
“We are so lucky to have found sweet Megan!! Cannot say enough good things about her. She looked after our two kitties for a long trip and went out of her way to help us with extended coverage when our return home was delayed. She went the extra mile with play time and cuddles, and sent us many pictures & updates. Definitely plan to use her again. Megan rocks!!!”
“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. Especially puppies. My parents and I raised puppies since I was about 12 years old!! I loved it and ever since then, it’s been my dream to take care of animals! I have a full time job from Monday-Friday 8-5pm so the best time for me to look after your pets is weekends. I can stay with them after work during the weekdays though (overnight). I am very reliable and loving and I will take care of your animals and make sure they are happy! I will accommodate any needs they may have!
About: I have over four years of experience in the dog training industry, where I started in animal husbandry before transitioning into hands-on dog training. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong understanding of canine behavior, handling, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I grew up on a ranch and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and I love building trust with pets while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable attention and exercise throughout the day, whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the care, activity, and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in animal care and dog training, I understand how to read canine body language, recognize potential stressors, and respond appropriately to different situations. I take care to use secure handling practices, maintain awareness of our surroundings during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet. My goal is to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care, giving you peace of mind when you’re away.
“Rachelle took care of my cat while I was gone for the Christmas holiday visiting my family. She was great-responsibly fed, changed the water and took care of the litterbox. And washed the bowls for the wet food- thank you! My cat, who is normally very shy, took to her right away. I will definitely be contacting Rachelle again very soon- I feel like I can travel again without guilt or worry!”
“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy. She was caring, attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop through out the stay. She also brought in the packages off our front porch when she arrived..not required but much appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been raised with dogs, cats and horses since a young age. I have a 7 year old border collie who has been trained for agility and a 5 year old lab who is trained to hunt. They are disciplined dogs but also very spoiled! I currently work from home with flexible hours. When I am not traveling I am available to take care of your animal throughout the day or overnight. I have a fenced yard with two dogs who will show your animal the ropes. We go on walks every morning, lunch time and evening. Ideally we will be able to get a hike or swim in the afternoon, but if not we play ball and get plenty of time off leash throughout the day. Activities can change based on your animal’s needs. I have two very active dogs and we do everything we can to stimulate them.
“Olivia was a great communicator and was very flexible when I realized I had originally booked the wrong date. Loved seeing the photos of my pup who looked very happy! Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve had many animals growing up from bunnies to horses so I’d say I’ve gained plenty of experience. My childhood dog recently passed away and I miss being around the friendly creatures. Neighbors around me can rely on me for their pets to have a safe and fun environment. So can you! Water, walk, bathe, feed, play, or cuddle. I can do it all. Hi! I work full time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to come home during the middle of the day, so your furry family members will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available early mornings and late evenings when needed. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and needs, and I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, medications, and of course, lots of love and playtime. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely excited to care for your pets and treat them like family! I provide attentive, personalized care whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and stress free. Because I work remotely, I’m home often and able to give lots of supervision and attention as well
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 14 years old. My main experience in home has been with small/medium sized breeds as I have always lived in an apartment. However, I have dog sat larger breeds for my neighbors and a few friends before as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter called NKLA with best friends society. Here I worked with cats and dogs. I cleaned kennels, socialized with animals to prepare them for adoption, and walked multiple dogs (mainly pitbull breeds). I have owned my own dog for the last 2.5 years who is a medium sized chihuahua/pitbull mix named Athena. She’s on a routine feeding schedule and is walked every 4-6 hours, last time being at 10pm. I have experience with bathing dogs but only have a tub at this current apartment. No grooming experience. I am also comfortable administering medications as my pup takes her own! I have also worked in small animal veterinary medicine. Currently work nights at MSU so I’m available anytime before 4pm. Also have Fridays and Saturdays off but tend to work our football games on occasion! I update my availability frequently once I know I’m out of town as well. I currently have a fenced in back-yard along with a very spacious home with an additional dog bed and a medium sized kennel as needed. My dog is super friendly minus feeding times which would be separated. I like to make sure at least a 30 minute walk twice a day is given & at least an hour overall of playtime. Especially for more energetic breeds!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and during that time I’ve become the go‑to sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s walks, drop‑in visits, overnight stays, or keeping pups comfortable in their own home, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m big on connection — head scratches, cuddles, and calm reassurance for shy pups, plus plenty of ways to burn off energy for the more playful ones. That might look like throwing a ball, going for a walk, or playing chase around the yard until those happy tail wags kick in. Your dog’s routine, comfort, and happiness come first. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. You can trust that while you’re away, your pup will be cared for with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I work from remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide potty break in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening and head scratches, playtime, and lots of love through out the day. This schedule is ideal for house sitting in your home where your pup gets consistent attention and a calm, reliable routine. I can also offer drop‑in visits in the morning and afternoon if you prefer your dog to stay in their own space. I offer gentle, structured walks to help your dog burn energy, stay mentally stimulated, and feel confident throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick morning walk or an afternoon outing, I make sure every walk is safe, calm, and tailored to your pup’s pace and personality. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a steady, reliable environment where your dog feels secure, understood, and genuinely loved. Because I work remotely, your pup benefits from consistent presence and attention. I maintain their routine, watch for stress signals, and ensure they get the right balance of potty breaks, affection, and play. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by for drop‑ins, you can trust that your dog is in patient, attentive, and responsible hands.

She did a wonderful job taking care of Chester! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Melissa was excellent and very attentive to our two pups! I really appreciated the regular updates and check-ins she provided throughout their stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Melissa and will definitely use her again in the future! 😊

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.
