About: Hello, I’m Elisa! I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets! I am known for my Reliability, clear communication, and responsibility. I have been a local small business owner for the last seven years, which I have closed, and am now focusing my energy on doing something I enjoy and feel is so important, caring for animals! I have years of experience with larger dog breeds, including huskies, an old English sheepdog, and German shepherds. I have also cared for cats since I was a child and have two love spoiled kitties now. I enjoy going for walks but they are always much better when accompanied by a dog! Whether you are looking for fun daily walks for your dog/s, a one time walk, or need to ensure your pets are safe and in loving hands while you’re out of town, please let me know and I will be grateful to be of service. I have volunteered at animal shelters to walk dogs, clean kennels, play spaces, and litter boxes, and whenever possible take dogs out for a day with the borrow a buddy program. I am currently dedicating my time to exclusively caring for pets. I am available from early morning to evening, weekends and holidays. When your pets need me I’ll be there! Pet safety is always the priority! I am very aware of my surroundings when walking a dog, ensuring safety for both of us. I can run with energetic dogs or take it easy with senior dogs who like to take their time. I will follow any instructions you provide regarding your animals and will ask questions to make sure I understand clearly. Clean water bowls, food amounts and timing, clean litter boxes, and any medications are always top of the list!

About: I've always had dogs growing up, and was always the first to volunteer to watch neighbors and friends animals! Ive taken care of all kinds of breeds, including Dachshunds, golden retrievers, French bulldogs, German short hair pointers, pit bulls, and labs. I would love to be able to drop in to see your animals, take them on walks, play with them, and give them baths if needed! I am currently working part time as well as a student at Blake Austin College. I have lots of free time after 4 pm and would love to fill it with spending time with fur babies ! I always let the dogs sniff and get used to me being there once I get to the home, but if they are too uncomfortable the whole time then I can easily just feed and water them before heading out if needed.

About: I absolutely love All dogs. Completely comfortable will ALL sizes and breeds! Ive had and taken care of dogs my whole life. I have rasied large medium and small dogs so i have experience with many diffrent breeds. Having that experience also has allowed me to work with non neutered/spayed and neutered/spayed. I hate to say it but animals can get in altercations and I have no problem stepping in and seperating the animals. Their safety comes first. I am well versed with fur babies that have separation anxiety and have had quite a few come for day care so I could help with their separation anxiety and ease them of it as well! I know some great training techniques and can help show you how to continue on at home! I am a full time home maker so your best friend will not be lonely! I am capable of playing with all kinds of breeds. Currently i have 2 friendly German shepherds, Obi-wan kenobi who is 10 and princess leia who is 4. I offer house sitting, walks and drop in visits! Since I am a stay at home mom your pups needs will be catered to as if they were my own child! My schedule is wide open and flexible with the exception of the occasional grocery store run! I'm able to exercise, play with, love, and help train your fur baby as needed. Since I have such an open flexible schedule i can care for your baby on their own schedule! If they need walks or socialization and even if they need help with their separation or social anxiety im your gal! I have an extremely flexible schedule as i am a stay at home mom. I can easily mold my schedule the the pups needs and clients expectations. I play with, cuddle, walk and feed pups on their schedule in my home and other homes!

“Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️”

“Sierra and Seth, both watched our giant dogs today! They did several drop-ins and made sure the dogs needs were very well met at each one. They are also very communicative, which was so important because we have a large dog with reactivity issues and behaviors. Sierra and Seth were very responsive to our dog's needs, and willing to adjust and adapt when our reactive dog needed different kinds of support. We would love for them to sit for us again and their help was irreplaceable!”

About: My pet care experience began when I started living with my uncle as a teenager. Back in the Philippines, he would rescue puppies and keep them in the house until he could find them a foster home. After school, I would go straight home and take care of the rescues. I would feed them and keep them hydrated, and then take them out for a walk. I also taught them tricks until they could master it without treats. I strongly believed that training is an essential part of their growth. When I moved here, I adopted Astrid as a puppy and she has been with me for 3 years now. My main skills with pets includes strict attention to time management, understanding their behaviors, and attending to their needs. Other skills include having patience, clear communication with owners, being on time, and being responsible with the duties given. I currently work part-time as a cook in a nursing home. On my days off, I usually stay at home either on my computer or take my dog to play outside. I have a lot of leisure time on these days, and I believe that pet sitting will fulfill these times and keep me busy. In my home, I ensure that my dog sleeps and naps comfortably when tired. I make sure that there’s food for her and water always refilled. I keep my dog active by walking around the neighborhood and going to the playground. I also play the guitar and sing songs to her when there is nothing else to do. When she wants to go outside, I let her run free in the backyard surrounded with fences and have a shaded area for her when it gets too hot. I would also leave the door open in case she wants a colder environment which is inside the house. In a client’s home, I would ensure that their pets are well fed and hydrated. If there is an accident, I would willingly be responsible for that and take care of it. I would make sure that their pets are also being engaged in activities so that they would feel less bored when the parents aren’t home.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Progress

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 689 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Progress. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Progress. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
