“Sammy is an amazing pet sitter! She communicated quickly, made us feel very comfortable and our pets loved her. We are very thankful for her care while we were away from home!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I currently care for seven chickens, which has taught me responsibility, consistency, feeding, and paying close attention to their needs. I’ve also cared for my mom’s dog while she was away and helped care for my sister’s puppy. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own, pet sitting feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking two classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, each for about two hours. I also enjoy going to the gym and have a flexible schedule around my seven-year-old son’s school schedule. I’m usually up around 7 AM and have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate with each pet parent and work together to find a schedule that works well for everyone. I’m very attentive to detail and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I understand that some owners prefer minimal communication while they’re away, so I try to respect that while still keeping them updated when needed. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll always ask rather than make assumptions. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play, along with a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go potty and enjoy some outdoor time. We have a calm, quiet home with few people coming and going, which helps pets feel comfortable. There is usually someone home, so pets are rarely left alone. If they do need to be alone, it would typically be no longer than 2–3 hours.
“Sydney was such a godsend! She sent a bunch of photos and left a detailed note with every check in, which is great for someone like myself with a bunch of anxiety. When we got home I could tell the pets missed us but had not been lacking care and attention. She went the extra mile and was easy to communicate and work with. It was such a relief. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Amy was amazing! She arrived early for our drop-in visit, communicated with us throughout the visit, and sent adorable pictures of our Moose, which gave us great peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely book with her again!”
“My boys did great with Madelyn and are so excited to have her back! 😄 She is super communicative and sweet and takes the time to get to know your fur babies and respects their personalities. She is wonderful!!!”
“Jenny was fantastic! You can tell she genuinely loves caring for animals. Her comments and photos brought a smile to my face knowing my pup was well tended to! Thank you for your glowing energy, Jenny!”
“Okmi did an excellent job looking after our cat. Our loved cat Asya was happy, safe and healthy while we were out. This cat is not easy with new people around her, but Okmi seems has a talent and our pet listened:) We will definitely have Okmi again! Thank you dear!”
“Destiny was awesome and treated our babies so well! She gave our girl her medication each night with no issues and even vacuumed and scooped their litter box. Was an excellent communicator, so punctual and reliable!”
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I'm very comfortable with any size and breed. I have also had and taken care of special needs dogs and cats. I am not currently working so I am available for walks and sitting most days. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I have lots of time to focus on and give your pets all of the exercise, cuddles, and pets they need! I would love to boop YOUR pet's snoot!
“Aaron is one of the best dog sitters I’ve been able to work with. He is extremely understanding with both you and your pet. Aaron provided daily drop in visits for my pup for 3 weeks and my boy had so much fun with him. And even had a dog buddy to play with! (Aaron’s dog Louie) I would recommend Aaron to everyone. He even assisted with some clean up when my pup decided to chew on things. 10/10 I will hire Aaron and Louie again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have a passion for making sure they feel loved! I always had pets growing up with my family having up to 3 dogs and 5 cats at one point! My fiance and I now have our own 2 year old Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves making new friends! I'm currently a full-time online student at Clark College so I'm always home taking care of my Golden Retriever. Between my fiance and I there will always be someone home! We live on a acre of land and backyard is fully fenced in so there's plenty of space for your baby(s) to play and run!
“McKenna was great! She did a drop-in visit for our chinchillas and was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for them well. We came home to happy chins and really appreciated the peace of mind. Would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have always had animals in my life; from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, ferrets, the list goes on. My love for animals is immeasurable and I love spending my time helping others in need and getting to spend time with their fur babies. I’ve been watching friends’, family, and even co-workers’ animals for over 10 years. I am currently traveling with my husband while he works so I have plenty of free time in our new apartment in Camas, WA. We stay in a safe location and have ample space for nice, long walks as well as plenty of toys to keep your pup entertained! Just outside of our two bedroom apartment, I have a grassed area where my dogs love playing and enjoying the outdoors. My dogs love having friends over to run around and play with.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛 Haaay! 🌾 *ba-dum tss* As you see being a stand up comedian wasn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 My name is way too long so I just go by Mari I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom! 😎 I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding help when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷 Expect lots of cute photos and videos so you can see your fur baby’s enjoying every walk, play session, and cuddle break.📸 Your fur baby's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll get plenty of love, cuddles, and care, and will feel right at home!🩷
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Proebstel
Chelsea is an excellent dog sitter. She takes lots of pictures and spends time with your pupper. My dog adores her. We had a couple days where we had to change plans because we were sick and Chelsea was very accommodating. She is a very nice person and we are lucky to have her to help when we are working or out of town.
Shyan treated my dogs with the best possible care!! From the meet and greets to the dog walks to the visits in my backyard, she is amazing. I work long shifts and need my babies to get some one on one and she does a great job. Her pictures and explanation of the visit are top notch. Thank you Shyan!!!
Our orange tabby is not the most friendly cat. However Jessica wove her magic and he immediately took to her. The photos clearly show that he adored having her (and her treats) here at our house. We arrived home to a very happy kitty (gone 3+ weeks). Leo and his people all agree she is a winner!
Brandi was exceptionally attentive to our pup and our requests for care while we were away for a couple of weeks. She made an instant connection with Buddy and asked lots of questions to be sure she understood what our dog needed and to be best prepared to meet his needs while we were away. Brandi was prompt with her visits and kept us updated with report cards. She even stepped up and provided a last-minute drop in when our flight got delayed on our return. We couldn’t be happier or feel more trusting of Brandi. We look forward to using her again!

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.
