“Suzie was a wonderful sitter for my Mabel! Always on time, communicative, and amiable. She leaves fun and detailed notes on each visit with lots of pictures! I knew my girl was well taken care of. Will 100% use again.”
“Can't say enough good things about Larry! He treats our dog like gold and is so incredibly reliable. We've used Larry multiple times and will continue to as long as we can!”
“Jen was great! She took great care of our pups while we were away on vacation. She also has the patience of a saint because my puppy was giving her a run for her money and she still loved on him , cleaned up his messes and cared for him in a way a family member would.”
About: I’ve been providing loving pet care and dog walking services since 2010, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background started in childcare as a nanny, where caring for the family’s pets naturally became part of the role. Over the years, that grew into extensive pet care experience including walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, vet visits, administering medications, basic training reinforcement, and grooming support. Caring for animals is more than just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, routine care, or just a reliable person while you’re away, I’m here to help and treat them like family. I had the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 children for the last 12 years. I'm slowly merging back into the working world (part-time for now), but my dream would be to care for pets full-time. Currently, I'm available during the days my children are at school (8:30a.m.- 4p.m.) Monday-Friday. And 2 weekends out of the month, I'm completely available. Please let me know what you're looking for and there's a good chance I can make it happen, even outside these hours. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by adhering to their usual routines, whether that's in my home or yours. I will follow all instructions carefully--feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, walks, etc. In a client's home, I'm very respectful of your space. I keep things clean, stick to agreed-upon areas, and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Safety and security for both you and your pet is my priority. I will monitor gates and doors, making sure they are secured as need be. When walking, I stay alert in the environment, monitoring all my surroundings. Your pet(s) will get plenty of TLC, attention, and playtime, taking note of their individual temperament and what it's calling for. Communication is very important to me. I will always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they're away.
“Kaelyn was a God send! She not only accepted my last minute Thanksgiving drop in request but also was a loving, caring caretaker for my dog. I will continue to request her for all my future pet sitter needs.”
“Tanya was a great help this week and I'm so glad I found her. She's truly a natural with dogs. She sent pictures and videos that made me smile during some busy work days and had great communication. She was reliable even in some unfortunate bad weather conditions.”
“Yet another great experience with Lillie. She has proven to be reliable, caring, and loving to my old man pup. I will not hesitate to choose Lillie as my first option anytime I need care for my pup!”
“Lura is fantastic! She shows up exactly on time and gives my girls a good walk. She also cleans the litter box for a few extra dollars which is so so worth it! I'm so glad to have found Lura!”
“Ashley was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of the country and was very communicative. She was consistent with visit times and sent pictures each time. We felt super comfortable and were able to relax on vacation knowing our dogs were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Kiarra made drop-in visits for my two cats while I was out of town for 5 days. She stopped by before my trip so that we could go over everything and see where everything is at. She took notes during the initial visit. She was timely, communicative and respectful of my home. Additionally, both of my cats were warming up to her by the end of the week, which is a huge relief because they usually take a while to warm up to new people. Would definitely recommend her!”
“We All love our Pet’s , Ashly exhibited All the characteristics of Dependability, Trust & following instructions . Ashley did very Well & followed through everything ! Grace (Our Dog) looks forward to having Ashley EVERY time we need Pet Care”
“Dillon was so wonderful with our pups! He was very attentive and with a more of a last minute request - he made availability for us. Nala and Beamer were very happy! Thank you!!!”

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and have been helping take care of animals my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of who I am. I know how much our fur babies mean to us—they’re family! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful, energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, stay calm, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language. I also have experience as a Veterinary Assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals and handling different situations. I’m comfortable giving medications and injections when needed and when provided with instructions. Most importantly, I know that every pet is different. Some want to run around and play, some want all the cuddles they can get, and others are happiest doing their own thing with someone nearby. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and give them the kind of care and attention that works best for them. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being well loved and looked after while you’re away. I’m currently in a transition period, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have open availability throughout the day and into the evening, including weekends, and can be flexible to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a consistent routine, and make sure your pet is secure and comfortable in their environment. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns, and I’ll keep your home clean and tidy during visits or stays. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Powhatan
Larry was great! He hung out with our needy cat, and she warmed up to him so quickly. They were fast friends, and he provided updates on her eating habits (which was something I told him I worry about). I will definitely be rebooking and referring my friends.
Courtney has taken care of my dog, Kala, several times, and every experience has been amazing. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, goes above and beyond, and truly treats Kala like her own. I always come home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I completely trust Courtney and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Ashley was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of the country and was very communicative. She was consistent with visit times and sent pictures each time. We felt super comfortable and were able to relax on vacation knowing our dogs were taken care of! Highly recommend!
Brittany is so sweet and wonderful with my dogs. She took really wonderful care of my senior dog during drop in visits towards the end of her life and I was thrilled to bring her back years later to do drop in visits with my new puppy. She is kind, a great communicator, takes the cutest pictures of my dogs, and I would highly recommend her!
I was a little nervous to use a new dog sitter for my 2 big dogs but right away Cody stood out from the rest. He came over to meet Zuko and Krypto and I was immediately was at ease. It was obvious Cody was a natural fit for them. Cody dropped in while we were on vacation, gave me daily report cards and pictures of the dogs which I really appreciated. I know the dogs loved him! It was nice to not worry about them while we were gone! We will definitely be using Cody again, thank you!

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.
